哨兵的形象和職責非常清楚。
在戰爭中,哨兵比其他人更早發現情況,並負責將所見所聞報告給指揮官和所有人。
這可能關乎生死。
因此,時刻保持警惕並立即報告所見所聞的雙重職責至關重要。
或許,在當今時代,甚至在任何時代,大聲而清晰地表達真相都並非易事。
我們害怕丟面子,甚至害怕遭受迫害。
「丟面子」:是誰面前丟面子?是在人面前丟面子,還是在上主面前丟面子?
The image and service of a sentinel is very clear. In the context of warfare, the sentinel sees things before others do and is responsible of referring what he knows to the commanders and to all.
It can be a matter of life and death. Therefore, the double duty of being always alert and of announcing immediately what he sees is impelling.
Perhaps, in these times as possibly in all times, it is difficult to speak out the truth loudly and clearly.
We are afraid of losing face or even incurring persecution.
“Losing face:” in front of whom? Of human people or in front of God?
