我們讀到保祿向厄弗所教會長老們所作告別演說的一部分。
在簡要描述了他所做的事以及他如何做這些事之後,保祿談到他認為等待他的事:鎖鍊和苦難。
然後,他宣告,如果在他所碰到的人當中有些人拒絕耶穌,因而被定罪,那麼他就是無辜的。
這最後一句話引人深思。的確,在與他人的任何相遇、對話或互動中,我們都可能是無辜的,也可能是有罪的。這取決於我們想與他人要分享什麼。要被宣告無罪,唯一的方法就是透過我們的一言一行,與他們分享耶穌和祂的愛。
We read part of the farewell speech by Paul to the elders of the church of Ephesus.
After a synthetic description of what he did and how he did it, Paul speaks of what he thinks is awaiting him: chains and tribulations.
Then, he proclaims his innocence, if anybody were to refuse Jesus and be therefore condemned.
This last word makes us reflect. Indeed, in whatever encounter, dialogue, interaction with others, we might be innocent or guilty. It depends on what we want to share with others. The only way to be declared innocent is to share with them Jesus and his love, through all what we say and do.
