神已经说话，我们是否在听？
诗篇一一五篇1至11节
1耶和华啊，荣耀不要归与我们，不要归与我们，要因你的慈爱和诚实归在你的名下！
2为何容外邦人说：“他们的神在哪里呢？”
3然而我们的神在天上，都随自己的意旨行事。
4他们的偶像是金的银的，是人手所造的，
5有口却不能言，有眼却不能看，
6有耳却不能听，有鼻却不能闻，
7有手却不能摸，有脚却不能走，有喉咙也不能出声。
8造它的要和它一样，凡靠它的也要如此。
9以色列啊，你要倚靠耶和华！他是你的帮助和你的盾牌。
10亚伦家啊，你们要倚靠耶和华！他是你们的帮助和你们的盾牌。
11你们敬畏耶和华的，要倚靠耶和华！他是你们的帮助和你们的盾牌。
信息分享
我们可以轻易列出不少其优胜之处，但其中一个最大的分别，是我们的神会向人说话。祂不单在过去说话，至今仍一直说话；我们是否忘记这重大的真理呢？
神采用了几个方式来向人启示祂自己，祂没有必要这样做，但祂就是这样的一位神。祂说：「我要向人启示自己，这样他们就可以回应我。」神如何启示祂自己？神如何向人说话呢？
神采用的其中一个方式，是借着自然界向人启示祂自己。万物的存在清楚显示背后有一位全智全能的造物主。自然界的一切，不住向人大声述说神的存在。
然而，自然界的启示却有许多不足之处。因此，神进一步透过祂的话语──圣经──以及祂的儿子——耶稣基督——向人启示自己。
自然界不足以完全启示神，神便借着祂完美无暇的儿子来启示祂自己。基督降世不单是为我们受死，更是要将父神显明出来。只有基督可以说：「人看见了我，就是看见了父」（约十四9）。
你想知道神是怎么样的吗？只要细看神的儿子耶稣基督的一生言行，就可以知道神的慈爱、恩典和能力了。
圣经就是神的话语，我们可以透过它来认识基督的一生。你可以随时捧读神的话语；没有任何东西能够取代每天读经所带来的好处。
是的，我们的神已经向我们说话，祂还可以做甚么呢？我们有没有聆听祂呢？祂正在等候我们的回应，祂今天听到你的回应没有？
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?
