道成了肉身,住在我們中間。
( 約翰福音 1 :14 )
約翰福音 John 1 : 12 – 14
1:12 凡接待他的,就是信他名的人,他就賜他們權柄,作 神的兒女。
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: power: or, the right, or, privilege

1:13 這等人不是從血氣生的,不是從情慾生的,也不是從人意生的,乃是從 神生的。
Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
1:14 道成了肉身,住在我們中間,充充滿滿的有恩典有真理。我們也見過他的榮光,正是父獨生子的榮光。
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and

我在大學裏教寫作課,我想用一種有趣的方式來教學生有關傳記素材的概念。我找到一個點子:寫篇六字傳記。普立茲獎得主海明威(Ernest Hemingway)根據這個要求,曾寫下這則充滿辛酸的傳記:「待售:童鞋,未用。」你可以想像這六個字背後的悲傷故事。
當我想到這個點子時,不禁也想到,是否能用幾個字為聖經裏的人物寫出傳記呢?結果,我的
發現讓人驚訝。原來聖經已經用幾個字幫許多人寫出傳記了。例如上
帝稱大衛是「合祂心意的人」;保
羅自稱為「基督耶穌使徒」;保羅
稱提摩太為「因信主作我真兒
子」;再看聖經如何描述馬利亞:
「童女懷孕生子」;而聖經描述耶
穌:「道成了肉身,住在我們中
間。」
當我們看到這些傳記,貼切地描述
了上帝兒女的信心時,應捫心自
問:哪幾個字能真實地描述
我自己呢?是正面還是負面的字眼
呢?會是「叫人很難愛他」?還是
「為主發光的人」?你的
幾字傳記是什麼?
