旧约 - 传道书(Ecclesiastes)第12章

Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them;
While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain:
In the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows be darkened,
And the doors shall be shut in the streets, when the sound of the grinding is low, and he shall rise up at the voice of the bird, and all the daughters of musick shall be brought low;
Also when they shall be afraid of that which is high, and fears shall be in the way, and the almond tree shall flourish, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail: because man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets:
Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern.
Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.
Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; all is vanity.
And moreover, because the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yea, he gave good heed, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs.
The preacher sought to find out acceptable words: and that which was written was upright, even words of truth.
The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened by the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd.
And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
传道书第十二章   第 12 章 

  传 12:1> 少年不知愁滋味,要将青春献与主── 

  12:1 人的生命中没有神,他年老时必定痛苦、孤单、失望。以神为中心的人生则是充实的,即使“衰败的日子”来临时,也就是因伤残、疾病而不能享受人生时,也有满足感,因为有永生的盼望。年轻的日子是美好的,但如果青年人只顾享受一时之乐而丢弃有永恒价值的事,青春的活力也能成为亲近神的障碍。趁你还年轻力壮的时候将自己献给神,不要将你的青春浪费在邪恶和虚空的活动上,去沾染不良的习惯,使你变得麻木不仁。现在就寻求神吧! 

  传 12:6-8> 生命像一条链子、一个罐子,若没有神的保守…… 

  12:6-8 银链、金罐、瓶子和水轮象征生命的脆弱。死亡很容易临到我们,我们也会迅速而不期然地归回尘土。所以,我们要视生命为珍贵的财富,有智慧地运用,不要轻率地浪费了它! 

  传 12:7-8> 灵魂离开人体的一刻,人就真正死亡了…… 

  12:7-8 没有神所赐的灵魂,我们的身体就会变为尘土。没有神所定的心意,我们的工作就徒劳无功。没有神的爱,我们的事奉就会白费心机。我们要在所做的一切事上将神放在第一位,以神为中心,因为没有神就没有一切。智慧人认识到没有神的人生是虚空的,所以激励他先去寻求神。 

  传 12:11> 刺棍、钉子、牧者──这些比喻的关联是…… 

  12:11 刺棍(也称为赶牛的棍子)是用一块锋利的金属钉在手柄上做成的,用以赶牛或牲畜。智慧的言语或重要的真理,虽然像刺棍一样令人不舒服,却会叫我们不偏离神的道路。 

  传 12:12> 学海无涯,我应该登上哪条智慧之舟? 

  12:12 世上有很多关于人生的讨论及生活哲学,足够我们花一生去研究。研究这些并没什么不对,但我们更应该将大部分时间,以神真理的话语滋养自己。我们应将所学习到的智慧行出来。有智慧的圣经读者,明白真理以后,就照着所学的去做。由于我们在世的日子相当短促,就应该善用人生来学习重要的真理,因为这些真理会影响今生和永生。 

  传 12:13-14> 敬畏神是智慧的开端,也是人所当尽的本分,我当如何尽本分? 

  12:13-14 所罗门在结论中提出解除本书所讲两种主要偏向的方法。那些迷失人生目的和方向的人,应敬畏神并遵守神的诫命。那些认为人生充满不公平的人,应记得神会审查人的一生,看每个人对神的态度如何;也会审判每一个人的行为。你是否将一生,无论现在或者将来都奉献给神?你的生命是否符合祂的标准? 

  传 12:13-14> 画龙点睛,本书的主题原来是── 

  12:13-14 如果不读传道书最后的几节,我们便无法正确地理解这卷书。姑勿论人生充满了难以理解、看似矛盾的事情,我们应以认识神作为我们努力的惟一目标。 

  在传道书中,所罗门说人应享受自己劳碌所得来的好处,但这并不表示我们毋须遵守神的诫命。我们应寻找人生的目的和意义,不过单靠人的努力是无法找到的。我们应当承认人生充满邪恶、愚昧和不公平,但依然要持积极的态度,并且对神有坚强的信心。 

  每一个人都要站在神的审判台前,为自己一生中所做的接受审判。我们不能用人生的风雨起伏作为轻浮度日的藉口。要过正直的生活,我们必须( 1 )承认若离开神,人的努力都是徒劳无益的;( 2 )现在就当将神放在首位;( 3 )要从神领受一切美善的赏赐;( 4 )认识神必审判一切善恶;( 5 )知道神要判定每个人一生的质量。人用一生拼命追求享乐,而这些享乐却是神无偿赐下的,这是多么奇怪啊!──《灵修版圣经注释》
