经文:阿摩司书 2:6
“耶和华如此说:
以色列人三番四次地犯罪,
我必不免去他们的刑罚;
因他们为银子卖了义人,
为一双鞋卖了穷人。”
⸻
灵修默想
在北国以色列的黄金时代,经济强盛,社会表面稳定。贸易繁荣,城市扩张,财富不断累积。然而先知阿摩司揭露了隐藏的裂痕:公义本身已经变成可以交易的商品。
“为银子卖了义人”——真相可以被收买、被扭曲;
“为一双鞋卖了穷人”——人的尊严竟不如一次交易。
这不仅是司法腐败,更是道德的崩塌。当社会用价格衡量人时,神的形像就被悄悄挤到一旁。真正的丑闻不在金额的大小,而在生命被贬值。一双鞋成了镜子,映照出整个民族良心的破产。
⸻
今日镜鉴
这古老的控诉,也逼近我们的现实:
▸ 我是否以“实际”为名,为妥协找借口?
▸ 我是否对压迫弱者的制度变得习以为常?
▸ 我是否把延迟的审判误当成无需负责?
神的忍耐不是冷漠,而是留出悔改的空间。恩典扩展机会,却从不模糊责任。
⸻
深层反思
危险不只是卖了别人,
而是我们开始习惯被标价:
收入、地位、安全感
渐渐决定我们的价值。
当生命被商品化,
我们就在无声中接受了自己所谴责的逻辑。
真正的自由始于拒绝这套衡量——
因为基督以无法估量的代价赎回我们,
我们的价值不再由世界市场决定。
⸻
祷告
公义的主,
唤醒我已经麻木的地方。
显明一切隐蔽的妥协,
显明我忽视软弱者的时刻。
洁净我的良心,
让我宁可失去利益
也不参与不义;
宁可暴露自己
也不交换真理。
教导我活出一个
不能被标价的生命,
因为我的价值握在你手中。
奉基督的名,阿们。
Title: When Justice Is Given a Price Tag
Date: February 8, 2026
Scripture: Amos 2:6
“Thus says the Lord:
For three transgressions of Israel, and for four,
I will not revoke the punishment,
because they sell the righteous for silver
and the needy for a pair of sandals.”
⸻
Devotional Reflection
In the golden age of the northern kingdom of Israel, the economy was strong and public life looked stable. Trade flourished. Cities expanded. Wealth accumulated. Yet the prophet Amos exposes the hidden fracture: justice itself had been turned into a commodity.
“They sell the righteous for silver” — truth could be purchased and bent.
“They sell the needy for a pair of sandals” — human dignity was worth less than a transaction.
This was not merely corruption in the courts; it was a moral collapse. When a society measures people by price, the image of God is quietly pushed aside. The scandal is not the smallness of the sum, but the cheapening of a human life. A pair of sandals becomes a mirror reflecting the bankruptcy of a nation’s conscience.
⸻
A Mirror for Today
This ancient charge presses into our present:
▸ Where have I justified compromise in the name of practicality?
▸ Where have I grown comfortable with systems that disadvantage the weak?
▸ Where have I mistaken delay for the absence of accountability?
God’s patience is not indifference. It is space for repentance. Grace widens opportunity — it does not blur responsibility.
⸻
Deeper Reflection
The danger is not only selling others,
but becoming accustomed to being priced ourselves:
income, status, security
begin to define our worth.
When life becomes a commodity,
we quietly accept the same logic we condemn.
True freedom begins in refusing that scale —
for Christ has redeemed us at immeasurable cost,
and our value is no longer set by the market of the world.
⸻
Prayer
Lord of justice,
awaken what has grown numb in me.
Reveal every quiet compromise
and every place I ignore the vulnerable.
Purify my conscience,
that I would rather lose advantage
than participate in injustice;
rather stand exposed
than trade away what is true.
Teach me to live as one
whose worth cannot be priced
because it is held in You.
In Christ’s name, Amen.
