在米該亞書的結尾,先知表達安慰的訊息,以及對上主慈悲盼望的話語。
上主會寬恕,甚至會忘記祂子民的罪。祂會為他們創造一次新的出埃及的旅程。
如此大慈悲的原因並非在於人的悔改,而是上主喜歡彰顯祂的榮耀。
默想如此大上主的愛,也激發我們跟隨祂的渴望。我們無法在別處找到的盼望。
At the end of his book, the prophet Micah has words of consolation and of hope in God’s mercy.
God will forgive, he will even forget the sins of his people. He will create a new Exodus for them.
The reason for such great mercy is not human repentance, rather, it is God’s desire to show his glory.
Such meditation on God’s love prompts our desire, in turn, to adhere him. There is no other in whom we can have such great hope.
