Joseph in Prison With Two Inmates
經文: 創世紀 40:19 三天之內,法老必斬斷你的頭,把你掛在木頭上,必有飛鳥來吃你身上的肉。
默想: 當膳長看到約瑟幫酒政解夢時,告訴酒政三天之後,將出監復職時,膳長也急著將自己的夢請教約瑟也來幫他解夢。那裡知道,看來內容那麼類似的夢的內容,在約瑟看來,卻是兩個完全相反的解夢內容。約瑟還是很誠實的將這個很不好的預後告訴膳長。這是很不容易的道德勇氣。在醫療倫理上,醫師如何妥善的將不好的臨床預後消息告知患者,也常常是個不容易妥善處理的倫理難題。求主幫助我,在與人互動時,學會如何妥善的將負面資訊與人溝通。
題目: 40:15約瑟對酒政如何承述自己的遭遇?為何他說他是「被拐來的」而不是「被哥哥們出賣」?你有何看法?
2 意見:
“Anyone who kidnaps another and either sells him or still has him when he is caught must be put to death” (Ex 21:16). Joseph must have been upset about what his brothers had done, so he said,” I was forcibly carried off from the land of the Hebrews” just as he was abducted. Besides, he claimed his innocence by saying, “…even here I have done nothing to deserve being put in a dungeon” (Ge 40:15).
約瑟雖然夢見被兄弟們眾星拱月,而招來殺身之禍,但豈不知這些夢他也已瞭然於心,知道神給他什麼啟示呢?因此他不可能把自己的兄長貶抑詆毁,而是替他們留了後路.
而且約瑟對兄弟之情,在其一生之中,都流露出真情至性,絲毫沒有怨嘆!
求主讓我不看人的惡,只看人人都是神的所造之弟兄和姐妹了!阿們!
