罪赦免少的他的愛就少 — 路加福音讀經隨筆 第7章

路加福音第七章第40—48節，耶穌對一個叫西門的法利賽人講了一個比喻，說一個債主，有兩個人欠他的債。一個欠五十兩銀子，一個欠五兩銀子。因為他們無力償還，債主就開恩免了他們兩個人的債。這兩個人那一個更愛他呢。西門回答說是那多得恩免的人。耶穌說他判斷的正確，並且罪赦免多的他的愛就多，但那赦免少的他的愛就少。那麽人的罪真的有的多有的少嗎？其實人的罪在神的眼中都是一樣多的，耶利米書說人心壞到極處。隻不過在人的眼中有的人罪多有的人罪少而已，因為人眼看到的是有的人犯出來的罪行多，而有的人犯出來的罪行少，並且人都認為自己的罪少，而別人的罪多。因此，聖經一再強調人需要謙卑下來，即每個人都需要如實承認自己大痳瘋長滿罪大惡極，這樣在麵對耶穌對罪的赦免的時候，就會感覺到神的愛的長闊高深，這樣也會更有力量更多的去愛別人。這就是為什麽罪赦免多的他的愛就多。

路7:40 耶穌對他說、西門．我有句話要對你說．西門說、夫子、請說。
Jesus answered him, "Simon, I have something to tell you." He said, "Teacher, say on."
路7:41 耶穌說、一個債主、有兩個人欠他的債．一個欠五十兩銀子、一個欠五兩銀子．
"A certain lender had two debtors. The one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.
路7:42 因為他們無力償還、債主就開恩免了他們兩個人的債。這兩個人那一個更愛他呢。
When they couldn't pay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore will love him most?"
路7:43 西門回答說、我想是那多得恩免的人。耶穌說、你斷的不錯。
Simon answered, "He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the most." He said to him, "You have judged correctly."
路7:44 於是轉過來向著那女人、便對西門說、你看見這女人麽．我進了你的家、你沒有給我水洗腳．但這女人用眼淚濕了我的腳、用頭發擦幹。
Turning to the woman, he said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? I entered into your house, and you gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head.
路7:45 你沒有與我親嘴、但這女人從我進來的時候、就不住的用嘴親我的腳。
You gave me no kiss, but she, since the time I came in, has not ceased to kiss my feet.
路7:46 你沒有用油抹我的頭、但這女人用香膏抹我的腳。
You didn't anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment.
路7:47 所以我告訴你、他許多的罪都赦免了．因為他的愛多．但那赦免少的、他的愛就少。
Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little."
路7:48 於是對那女人說、你的罪赦免了。
He said to her, "Your sins are forgiven."
