梦游圣经66本书

📅 日期：2025 年 12 月 16 日

📖 经文：路加福音 1:78–79

“因我们神怜悯的心肠，

叫清晨的日光从高天临到我们，

要照亮坐在黑暗中死荫里的人，

把我们的脚引到平安的路上。”

——

默想

在光明节的起头，我们却看见了恐怖袭击的黑暗。

灯火点燃的同时，世界的阴影仍在翻涌。

这正提醒我们：光不是因为黑暗消失才出现，

而是为要进入黑暗而被点亮。

撒迦利亚的颂歌没有否认世界的“死荫”，

却宣告一个更深的真理——

神的心意不是报复，而是怜悯；

不是让人迷失在恐惧中，而是引脚步走向平安。

“清晨的日光”不是来自地上，

乃是“从高天临到”。

当人类的暴力显得刺眼，

神的光却以温柔却坚定的方式照亮——

照亮受伤者，也照亮施暴者背后破碎的黑暗。

光明节的灯提醒我们：

不是用更大的黑暗去回应黑暗，

而是让从神而来的光，

在最不可能的地方继续燃烧。

——

祷告

主啊，

在恐惧与哀伤中，

求你让从高天而来的日光临到。

照亮坐在黑暗与死荫中的人，

医治破碎的心，

止息暴力的循环，

也把我们的脚，引到你所应许的平安之路。

阿们。

🕯️ Light in the Festival of Lights (Hanukkah Meditation)
📅 Date: 16 December 2025
📖 Scripture: Luke 1:78–79

“Because of the tender mercy of our God,
by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven,
to shine on those living in darkness and in the shadow of death,
to guide our feet into the path of peace.”

Meditation

At the beginning of Hanukkah, we witness acts of terror.
As the lamps are lit, the shadows of the world are still stirring.
This reminds us that light does not appear because darkness disappears,
but because it is meant to enter the darkness.

Zechariah’s song does not deny the reality of the “shadow of death,”
but proclaims a deeper truth—
God’s intention is not revenge, but mercy;
not to leave people trapped in fear, but to guide their steps into peace.

The “rising sun” does not come from the earth,
but from heaven above.
When human violence appears glaring and overwhelming,
God’s light shines in a gentle yet unwavering way—
illuminating the wounded,
and also exposing the broken darkness behind those who commit violence.

The lamps of Hanukkah remind us:
we do not answer darkness with greater darkness,
but allow the light that comes from God
to keep burning—
even in the places where it seems most unlikely.

Prayer

Lord,
amid fear and sorrow,
let the rising sun from heaven come upon us.
Shine on those who dwell in darkness and in the shadow of death.
Heal broken hearts,
bring an end to the cycle of violence,
and guide our feet
into the path of peace You have promised.
Amen.
