神已經說話，我們是否在聽？
詩篇一一五篇1至11節
1耶和華啊，榮耀不要歸與我們，不要歸與我們，要因你的慈愛和誠實歸在你的名下！
2為何容外邦人說：“他們的神在哪裡呢？”
3然而我們的神在天上，都隨自己的意旨行事。
4他們的偶像是金的銀的，是人手所造的，
5有口卻不能言，有眼卻不能看，
6有耳卻不能聽，有鼻卻不能聞，
7有手卻不能摸，有腳卻不能走，有喉嚨也不能出聲。
8造它的要和它一樣，凡靠它的也要如此。
9以色列啊，你要倚靠耶和華！他是你的幫助和你的盾牌。
10亞倫家啊，你們要倚靠耶和華！他是你們的幫助和你們的盾牌。
11你們敬畏耶和華的，要倚靠耶和華！他是你們的幫助和你們的盾牌。
信息分享
我們可以輕易列出不少其優勝之處，但其中一個最大的分別，是我們的神會向人說話。祂不單在過去說話，至今仍一直說話；我們是否忘記這重大的真理呢？
神採用了幾個方式來向人啟示祂自己，祂沒有必要這樣做，但祂就是這樣的一位神。祂說：「我要向人啟示自己，這樣他們就可以回應我。」神如何啟示祂自己？神如何向人說話呢？
神採用的其中一個方式，是藉著自然界向人啟示祂自己。萬物的存在清楚顯示背後有一位全智全能的造物主。自然界的一切，不住向人大聲述說神的存在。
然而，自然界的啟示卻有許多不足之處。因此，神進一步透過祂的話語──聖經──以及祂的兒子——耶穌基督——向人啟示自己。
自然界不足以完全啟示神，神便藉著祂完美無暇的兒子來啟示祂自己。基督降世不單是為我們受死，更是要將父神顯明出來。只有基督可以說：「人看見了我，就是看見了父」（約十四9）。
你想知道神是怎麼樣的嗎？只要細看神的兒子耶穌基督的一生言行，就可以知道神的慈愛、恩典和能力了。
聖經就是神的話語，我們可以透過它來認識基督的一生。你可以隨時捧讀神的話語；沒有任何東西能夠取代每天讀經所帶來的好處。
是的，我們的神已經向我們說話，祂還可以做甚麼呢？我們有沒有聆聽祂呢？祂正在等候我們的回應，祂今天聽到你的回應沒有？
GOD HAS SPOKEN - ARE WE LISTENING?
Psalm 115:1-11
1 Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us,
But to Your name give glory,
Because of Your mercy,
Because of Your truth.
2 Why should the Gentiles say,
“So where is their God?”
3 But our God is in heaven;
He does whatever He pleases.
4 Their idols are silver and gold,
The work of men’s hands.
5 They have mouths, but they do not speak;
Eyes they have, but they do not see;
6 They have ears, but they do not hear;
Noses they have, but they do not smell;
7 They have hands, but they do not handle;
Feet they have, but they do not walk;
Nor do they mutter through their throat.
8 Those who make them are like them;
So is everyone who trusts in them.
9 O Israel, trust in the LORD;
He is their help and their shield.
10 O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD;
He is their help and their shield.
11 You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD;
He is their help and their shield.
Message
It would be easy to list a number of ways in which Christianity is greater, but one distinction sets it apart from all others. OUR GOD SPEAKS. Our God has spoken and He still does. Have we lost the wonder of this tremendous truth?
God chose to reveal Himself to mankind in several ways. He did not have to do it, but because He is the kind of God He is, He said, “I will reveal myself to man so that man can respond to me.” How has He done it? How has He spoken?
One way is in the world of nature. Creation clearly shows that a powerful and intelligent creator exists and He is behind all that we see. It speaks loudly and constantly.
But in many ways, that is not enough. So God further revealed Himself in His Word, through the Bible, and in His Son, Jesus Christ.
The imperfect light of creation calls for the perfect light of a Person. Christ came not only to die for us but to reveal the Father. He was able to say, “Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father.” (John 14:9)
Do you want to know what God is like? Study the remarkable life, the loving actions, the marvelous words of His Son, Jesus Christ, who also is God. You will see in Him the love of God, the grace of God, and the power of God.
You will find the story of Christ's life in the written Word, the Bible. It is there for you to read for yourself. There is no substitute for the daily reading of God's Word.
Yes, our God has spoken. What more can He do? Are we listening? He waits for our response. Has He heard from you today?
