新年的妥拉讀經
錫安之光 2018年12月29日
作為猶太人的傳統,每年中的每一週都有規定要讀的妥拉經文以及其他的希伯來語經文。有據可查,這個傳統可以追溯到聖經記載的時代。妥拉讀經的最後部分是在住棚節期間誦讀,之後妥拉讀經再次從頭開始。每週的妥拉讀經經文與我們所處的環境的相關性是那麼令人震驚。
2019年1月1日很多人將會感受到這是他們生命一個全新開始的契機。這個感受(無論有根據與否)與這週妥拉讀經經文(出埃及記1章1節到6章1節)所應許的是相呼應的。
在這段經文中亞伯拉罕﹑以撒和雅各的子孫們從他們為奴的埃及向神發出哀求。上帝回應了他們的苦求,他呼召摩西把他的百姓領出埃及為奴之地並帶領他們去應許之地。然而,謙卑的牧人知道他沒有能力完成這個任務。他問神:“我是誰,竟能到法老那裡去,把以色列人從埃及領出來呢?”(出埃及記3章11節)
上帝沒有回答摩西提出的問題,因為沒有合適的答覆。上帝只是告訴摩西他需要知道的。下一個經文是“神回答:我必與你同在。”
上帝沒有給摩西建立自尊的機會,上帝把焦點從摩西身上轉移到他自己身上。以色列的救贖不在乎摩西或是他的才能。以色列的救贖全在乎於上帝自己和他無限的全能。
在讀這些經文時,我們幾乎可以聽到摩西在13節的回答:“他們若問我說‘他叫什麼名字?’我要對他們說什麼呢?”
創造主回答說:“我是‘自有永有者’。”
我們都知道一個人的名字定義或是描述了這個人的人格。因此,除了“自有永有”外任何的名字都將限制這位無限的神。“自有永有”的深刻含義是上帝知道我們需要他是那位無限量永遠同在的神。
當你們即將跨入2019年並要面臨這新的一年中的各樣的不確定,你們也許像摩西一樣對於自己是否有能力面對這一切感到不安。或許上帝已經呼召你們去完成一項你們自己懷疑或是知道你們力所不能的任務。也許上帝正在帶領你們去向一個你們從未去過的方向。或者,你們周圍的環境正在迅速改變並變得艱難。(在以色列,政府的大變動,甚至戰爭,看起來似乎會在2019年發生。)如果上述的情形是你們正在經歷的,這週的妥拉讀經會給你們帶來鼓勵。
無論2019年上帝對你們的呼召是什麼,這一切都不在乎你們有什麼能力和才能。一切都是在於上帝的全能,他是那位“自有永有”、榮耀的、充滿愛的無限量的創造主。在這即將到來的一年中,上帝將成為你們的幫助並與你們同在。
願2019年上帝的名在你們身上得著所有的榮耀!
New Year Encouragement from this Week’s Parasha
DECEMBER 29, 2018
Jewish tradition has assigned to each week of the Hebraic year a formal reading of a portion of the Torah (parasha) and other Hebrew Scriptures (haftorah). Evidence exists suggesting this practice could date back to biblical times. The relevance of the parasha to our circumstances each week is often striking.
On January 1, 2019, many will feel opportunity in the air, so to speak, to start fresh with an aspect of their lives. This sense of restart at the Gregorian New Year resonates in a promising way with this week’s parasha, Exodus 1:1-6:1.
In that passage the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob cry out and groan from their slavery in Egypt. God responds by calling Moses to deliver His people to their promised land. The humbled shepherd, however, knows he does not have the ability to perform the task. “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?” he asks. (Exodus 3:11)
God does not answer Moses’ question because there can be no suitable reply. Instead He tells him what the man needs to know. The next verse reads, “And God said, “I will be with you.”
Rather than bolster Moses’ self esteem, God shifts the focus off Moses and onto Himself. Israel’s redemption is not going to be about Moses or his abilities. It is going to be about God and His infinite omnipotence.
Reading between the lines, we almost hear Moses reply in verse 13, “And who exactly are you, God?”
The Creator answers, “I am who I am.” The Hebrew literally means, “I will be who I will be.” (verse 14)
In the Bible, a name defines or describes personhood. Therefore, any name other than “I will be who I will be” would limit the One who is limitless. God does not change in the essence of His character. But He is also beyond definition or restriction. In revealing His name to Moses, He is indirectly saying that He will be to Moses and the Israelites (and Pharoah) who He knows they’ll need Him to be. Similarly, He will be to you who He knows you need Him to be. No limits.
As you approach 2019 and its uncertainties, like Moses, you may feel insecure in your own abilities. Perhaps God has called you to a task you suspect—or know—that you yourself cannot achieve. Maybe He is leading you in a direction you’ve not previously gone. Or it could be that circumstances around you are changing fast and hard. (Here in Israel, major government and military shakings seem likely to occur in 2019.) If any such uncertainties apply to you, be encouraged by this week’s parasha.
Whatever God has called you to in 2019, it will not be about your abilities. It will be about His abilities, based on who He is and who He will be — the glorious, loving Creator who defies limitation. He will be who you need Him to be this coming year. And He will be with you.
God desires to glorify His Name through you in 2019. Like Moses, you need only surrender to Him. No limits!
