在我们的欢声笑语中



How do you feel about that comment: “Jesus let his hair down, too” ? Have you ever thought about the way Jesus enjoyed life to the full?

你对这一评论有何感想:“耶稣会放飞自我吗”?你有没有想过,耶稣是如何充分享受生活的?

There are a lot of paintings in galleries that show him with a serious or stoic look. Or in pain. Or, that empathetic look of compassion.

画廊里有很多画都是以严肃或委婉的神情来表现耶稣。或在痛苦中,或是那种富有同理心的表情。

I can see why that would be. The Bible tells us: “He was despised and rejected—a man of sorrows, acquainted with deepest grief.”/ Isaiah 53:3

我可以理解为什么会这样,圣经告诉我们:他被藐视,被人拒绝,是个多受痛苦,熟悉病患的人。(赛53:3)

And, of course, the shortest verse in the Bible is: “Jesus wept.”/ John 11:35

圣经中最短的一节经文是:耶稣哭了。(约11:35)

As we’ve seen in these past couple of weeks – he gets us in our sadness. He gets us in our disappointments. He too experienced extreme lows.

正如我们在过去几周所看到的,耶稣在我们的悲伤中理解我们,在我们的失望中理解我们,祂也经历过极端的低谷。

But, this doesn’t mean Jesus never had occasions to laugh with his friends. If we focused just on the lows, we would miss out on the highs we know that Jesus also experienced.

但是,这并不意味着耶稣从来没有和祂的朋友们一起欢笑的机会。 如果我们只关注低谷,我们会错过那些耶稣也经历过的欢乐时光。

How many of you like to have fun?

你们当中有多少人喜欢欢乐时光?

I want to raise my hand too. But, sometimes I actually feel a little guilty about having fun. It feels like I’m wasting my time. Should I really be enjoying that novel and a coffee out on the deck or watching that game of cricket - when I could be working on something that matters? Isn’t work more valuable than play?

我也想举手。但是,有时我实际上对玩乐感到有点内疚,感觉我在浪费时间。当我可以在一些重要的事情上工作时,我真的应该在露台上喝杯咖啡、读本小说,或者看场板球比赛?工作不是比玩乐更有价值吗?

But then I came across this quote from my favourite author – C S Lewis – who wrote the Chronicles of Narnia. He said: “Joy is the serious business of heaven” / C. S. Lewis (picture of Lewis with quote for full slide)

后来我看到了我最喜欢的作家C·S·刘易斯(《纳尼亚传奇》的作者)的这句话:“喜乐是天国最重大的事物。”

I want us to take a few minutes for us to see some of the incidents in Jesus life that show us that He Gets Us in our laughter and joy.

我希望我们花几分钟时间,看看耶稣生活中发生的一些事件,这些事件向我们表明,祂在我们的欢声笑语中理解我们。

To do that, I thought it most appropriate to have a party game – Pass the Parcel.

为了更好地理解这一点,我们进行一个集体游戏 - 击鼓传花。

I imagine we all remember how to play this. But, if you don’t, when the music plays .. you ‘pass the parcel’. You move it to the person next to you. Quickly. When the music stops – you keep the parcel where it is. If that is in on your lap, you unwrap a layer.

我想我们都记得这个游戏的玩法。如果你不记得,是这样,当音乐响起时 你就“传递包裹”。你把它移到你旁边的人那里。迅速地!当音乐停止时,就不能动“包裹”了。如果“包裹”在你的腿上,你解开一层。

There are a few layers. Each layer has a verse that needs to be read to us.

里面有好几层。每一层都含有一句经文,你需要读给我们听。

So, let the music roll.. (music)

音乐开始......


#1 [Jesus’ birth was surrounded by joy]

#1 耶稣的诞生被喜乐所环绕

If I can have one of you read the card that says ‘Verse 1’

如果你拿到‘经文 1’的卡片,麻烦你帮忙读一下:

“An angel of the Lord appeared to [the Shepherds]. And the glory of the Lord shone around them.

They were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news. It will bringgreat joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Saviour has been born to you. He is the Messiah, the Lord.”/ Luke 2:8-11 NIRV

在伯利恒的郊外,有一些牧人在夜间看守羊群。主的一位使者站在他们旁边,主的荣光四面照着他们,他们就非常害怕。天使说:“不要怕!看哪!我报给你们大喜的信息,是关于万民的:今天在大卫的城里,为你们生了救主,就是主基督。(路2:8-11)

Did you see how the birth of Jesus was surrounded by joy?

你看到耶稣的诞生是如何被喜乐所环绕吗?

It’s not uncommon to see smiles in the birth unit at the hospital or at Birth Care.

在医院幼儿出生部门或在出生护理中心,看到微笑是很常见的。

A new baby causes us to smile. The joy here though was not just the standard joy of a new-born baby

– but this baby also brought good news for all people. He is the One able to turn things around. No wonder we sing about the “thrill of hope.”

一个新生的婴儿会让我们微笑。但这里的喜悦不仅仅是一个对新生儿的标准喜悦,这个婴儿还为所有人带来了好消息。祂是能够扭转局面的人。难怪我们唱到 “令人兴奋的盼望”。

If I can have one of you read the card that says ‘Verse 2’

如果你拿到‘经文 2’的卡片,麻烦你帮忙读一下:

“When [the Magi] saw the star, they were filled with joy! They entered the house and saw the child with his mother, Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him.” / Matthew 2:10-11 (NLT)

他们(东方三博士)看见那颗星,欢喜极了;进了房子,看见小孩和他母亲马利亚,就俯伏拜他,并且打开宝盒,把黄金、乳香、没药作礼物献给他。(太2:10-11)

It wasn’t just a Shepherds who get joy. It’s the Magi.

得到喜悦的不仅仅有牧羊人,还有东方三博士。

These Magi had little idea about God or the promised Messiah. But, they knew that something special was happening. They travelled a long way – possibly a 6 month one-way trip to get to this point!

这些博士对上帝或应许的弥赛亚没有什么概念。但是,他们知道有一些特别的事情正在发生。他们走了很远的路,可能是6个月的旅程,才到达目的地!

When they meet Jesus, they could hardly contain themselves with joy!

当他们见到耶稣的时候,几乎无法抑制自己的喜悦!

We know Jesus gets us in our laughter – because Jesus’ birth was surrounded by joy

我们知道耶稣在我们的欢声笑语中理解我们,因为耶稣的诞生是被喜乐所环绕的。

So… onto the next layer of Pass the Parcel/ let the music roll…

所以...... 让我们进入下一轮“击鼓传花”的游戏......


#2 [Jesus celebrated holidays and feasts with his family and friends]

#2 耶稣与祂的家人和朋友一起庆祝节日、节庆

[blue card]

If someone can read ‘Verse 3’

如果你拿到‘经文 3’的卡片,麻烦你帮忙读一下:

“You must also blow the trumpets when you are happy. Blow them at your appointed feasts. Blow them at your New Moon feasts. Blow them when you sacrifice your burnt offerings. Blow them when you sacrifice your friendship offerings. They will remind me of you. I am the LORD your God.”/ Numbers 10:10 (NIRV)

在你们快乐的日子和指定的节期,以及月朔,你们献燔祭和平安祭的时候,也要吹号,这都要在你们的神面前替你们作为记念;我是耶和华你们的 神。(民10:10)

This verse is about celebrating the various feasts/festivals that God set up. There were at least seven of them. Often we forget that God is the One who began these festivals. In other words, God commanded His people to get together and celebrate!

这节经文是关于庆祝上帝设立的各种节庆/节日。其中至少有七个。我们常常忘记,上帝是开始这些节庆的人。换句话说,上帝命令祂的子民聚在一起庆祝!

So, they would stop their work. They would rest. And most importantly – they would celebrate! These times included laughter, fun and even dancing!

因此,上帝的子民会停止工作,他们会休息。更重要的是,他们会庆祝!这些时刻包括欢声笑语、甚至是舞蹈!

Because Jesus was Jewish and was obedient to the law, guess what? Jesus stopped work.

Jesus relaxed.

Jesus took time to celebrate and laugh and dance.

耶稣是犹太人,祂顺服于律法,你猜怎么着? 耶稣停止了工作。

耶稣放松下来。

耶稣花时间庆祝,欢笑和跳舞。

We know Jesus gets us in our laughter – because Jesus celebrated holidays and feasts with his family and friends.

我们知道耶稣在我们的欢声笑语中理解我们,因为耶稣与祂的家人和朋友一起庆祝节日和节庆。

So… onto the next layer of Pass the Parcel/ let the music roll…

让我们继续击鼓传花......


#3 [Jesus had a reputation for having a good time]

#3 耶稣有吃吃喝喝的声誉

If someone can read ‘Verse 4’

如果你拿到‘经文 4’的卡片,麻烦你帮忙读一下:

“John came fasting and they called him crazy. I came feasting and they called me a boozer, a friend of the misfits. Opinion polls don’t count for much, do they? The proof of the pudding is in the eating.”/ Words of Jesus, from Matthew 11:19 (MSG)

约翰来了,不吃也不喝,人说他是鬼附的;人子来了,又吃又喝,人却说:‘你看,这人贪食好酒,与税吏和罪人为友。’(太11:19)

Jesus shared lively meals with his friends. He drank with them. He had so much fun and acted so freely around the dinner table, some people called him a glutton and a boozer.

耶稣与祂的朋友们开心地就餐,祂和他们一起喝酒。祂在餐桌上自由畅谈、玩得很开心,有些人因此称祂为贪吃鬼和酒鬼。

One scholar of Luke’s gospel says: “In Luke’s Gospel Jesus is either going to a meal, at a meal, or coming from a meal.” / Tim Chester.

一位研究路加福音的学者说:“在路加福音中,耶稣要么去吃饭,要么在吃饭,要么刚吃完饭。”(蒂姆-切斯特)

This is why he got a reputation. He never indulged too freely.

But, he was always uninhibited in his pursuit of compassion and joy for others.

这就是祂获得此声誉的原因。但耶稣从来不会过于放纵。

但是,祂在追求对祂人的怜悯和快乐时总是不受约束。

We know Jesus gets us in our laughter – because Jesus had a reputation for having a good time.

我们知道耶稣在我们的欢声笑语中理解我们,因为耶稣有吃吃喝喝的声誉。

#4 [Jesus turns water into wine]

#4 耶稣变水为酒

[yellow card]

If someone can read ‘Verse 5’

如果你拿到‘经文 5’的卡片,麻烦你帮忙读一下:

There was a wedding. … Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to Jesus, “They have no more wine.”/ John 2:1-3 (NIRV)

在加利利的迦拿有婚筵 耶稣和门徒也被邀请参加婚筵。酒用尽了,耶稣的母亲对他说:“他们没有酒了。”(约2:1-3)

Jesus was invited to a wedding party. Some might think that inviting Jesus to a party might be like

having the fun police arrive to throw cold water on a party. But, you would be wrong: Jesus actually rescues the party.

耶稣被邀请参加一个婚宴。有些人可能认为,邀请耶稣参加聚会可能就像,让警察来给聚会泼冷水。但是,你就错了。耶稣实际上拯救了这个宴会。

There is a problem: the wine runs out.

出现一个问题:酒喝完了。

You say, ‘why don’t they just pop down to the local store and load up with more.’ But, at this time, there wasn’t a store you just popped into. And, it may be that the groom can’t pay more than he

already has.

你可能会说,'他们为什么不直接去当地的商店,买上更多的酒。但是,在那个时候,并没有一家商店是你可以随时进去购物的。而且,可能是新郎无法支付更多的钱买酒。

Others of you are thinking: ‘it’s not a big deal. Just give them something else to drink. I mean, I didn’t have wine at my wedding – so what’s the big deal. ‘But, this WAS a big deal back then. All takes place in an honour and shame culture. This is about to be a social / psychological catastrophe! Not a great way to begin married life!

其他人可能会想:‘这不是什么大问题,只要给他们一些别的东西喝就行了。我的意思是,婚礼上没有酒,这没什么大不了的。’但是,这在当时是个大问题。一切都发生在尊崇荣誉和耻辱的文化中。这将是一场社会与心理灾难!这不是一个开始婚姻生活的好方法!

So, what did Jesus do? He turned water into wine.

那么,耶稣做了什么?祂把水变成了酒。

Not just a glass or two. But, when you do the maths about the volume John gives us in the story – it’s the equivalent of 800 bottles of wine! Excuse the lame pun, but the quantity causes you to gulp!

(okay – that’s pretty lame pun!).

不仅仅是一两杯而已。当你对约翰在故事中给我们提供的数量进行计算时,它相当于800瓶酒的数量! 这个数量足以让你敞开地喝!

And, John tells us that this wasn’t the $11 bottle of wine you pick up on your way to a BBQ. This is the good vintage quality.

约翰告诉我们,这不是那种你在参加烧烤聚会前随意买的价值$11的红酒,耶稣提供的酒是高质量的。

So, this all unexpected. What makes this even more surprising is that this is Jesus’ very first miracle.

这一切都出乎意料。更让人惊讶的是,这是耶稣行的第一个神迹。

You think Jesus would reserve the first miracle for something dramatic. … Lazarus rising from the

dead… an oppressed person freed, feeding a crowd of 5000. We know that Jesus can do all this – and would go on to do all this. So, why would Jesus make his first public miraculous demonstration turning water into wine? It seems like a cheap party trick.

你认为耶稣会把第一个神迹保留给一些更加戏剧性的事件,比如拉撒路从死里复活、一个受压迫的人被释放、喂饱5000人 我们知道,耶稣能做到这一切,并且会持续这样做。那么,为什么耶稣要在公众

面前展示祂的第一个神迹,把水变成酒?这似乎是个廉价的聚会把戏。

John highlights the reason: He says, “What Jesus did here in Cana of Galilee was the first of the signs through which he revealed his glory.”/ John 2:11

约翰总结了原因,他说:这是耶稣所行的第一件神迹,是在加利利的迦拿行的。他显出了自己的荣耀。(约2:11)

Signs point to something. Many of you will be travelling over the next couple of weeks. You will see some signs that help you in your journey, pointing to a destination. That destination is not the piece of wood on a pole. The sign is certainly not the destination!

神迹表明了一些事情。你们中的许多人将在未来几周去旅行。你会看到一些帮助你旅行的标记,指向一个目的地。这个目的地不是插在地上的那块牌子,标记当然不是目的地!

In other words, this miracle is pointing to something. Jesus produces quantity and quality wine to save the party because he is ultimately pointing to something much bigger that he wants us to see.

换句话说,这个神迹指向的是什么。耶稣变出更多数量和更好质量的酒来拯救婚宴,祂最终指向的是更大的东西,祂希望我们能看到。

That’s where this next verse comes in. Because, Scripture spoke of the Messiah bringing a new kingdom where there is dancing, joy, celebration, rejoicing…

这就是接下来这节经文的意义所在。因为,经文中谈到了弥赛亚带来了一个新的王国,在那里有舞蹈、喜乐、欢庆、欢呼......

If someone can read ‘Verse 6’

如果你拿到‘经文 6’的卡片,麻烦你帮忙读一下:

In Jerusalem, the LORD of Heaven’s Armies will spread a wonderful feast for all the people of the world. It will be a delicious banquet with clear, well-aged wine and choice meat.

There he will remove the cloud of gloom, the shadow of death that hangs over the earth. He will swallow up death forever! The Sovereign LORD will wipe away all tears. He will remove forever all insults and mockery against his land and people. The LORD has spoken!/ Isaiah 25:6-8

万军之耶和华必在这山上为万民摆设丰盛美筵,有陈酒、满髓的肥甘和醇美好酒。他又必在这山上除灭那遮盖万民的面巾,和那遮盖列国的帕子。他要吞灭死亡,直到永远;主耶和华必擦去各人脸上的眼泪

,又从地上除掉他子民的羞辱;这是耶和华说的。(赛25:6-8)

The coming of the Messiah would be like a delicious banquet with well-aged wine and wonderful spread. It’s all about both quantity and quality in this massive banquet.

弥赛亚的到来就像是一场美好的宴会,有陈年的美酒和美味的菜肴。在这场大规模的宴会中,既有数量,也有质量。

With that banquet comes a renewed world: Insults, mockery, tears, the cloud of gloom and the shadow of death are swallowed up. Instead, he brings a party!

伴随着这场宴会的是一个更新的世界。羞辱、嘲弄、眼泪、阴云和死亡的阴影都被吞没了。祂带来了一场聚会!

Jesus is saying, ‘the Messiah is here. It’s me! With my coming, I bring joy. What’s up there is coming down here. I am transforming the “cloud of gloom” into a sunrise of joy.’

耶稣在说,"弥赛亚在这里。是我!伴随我而来的是喜乐。在天的要来到下面。我正在将“阴霾之云”转化为喜乐的日出。

Boy, does our society need some joy right now. All the news seems grim. Even the weather reports give their attention to storms. Tomorrow is usually ‘partly cloudy with a 20 percent chance of rain.’ Did you notice that it’s never ‘mostly clear with an 80 chance of sunshine.”?

我们的社会现在需要一些喜乐。所有的新闻都令人压抑。甚至天气报告也把注意力放在风暴上。明天通常是“局部多云,有20%的降雨概率”。你有没有注意到,从来没有这样说:“大部分地区晴朗,有80%的阳光概率”?

It’s so easy to get distracted on what’s not going well. But, when we know Jesus – Emmanuel – is present, we find joy. Because those water experiences of life can be turned into wine.

我们很容易在不顺利的事情上分心。但是,当我们知道耶稣,以马内利,与我们同在,我们会找到喜乐。因为生活中那些水的经历可以变成酒。

We know Jesus gets us in our laughter – because Jesus turns water into wine.

我们知道耶稣在我们的欢声笑语中理解我们,因为耶稣把水变成了酒。

So… onto the next layer of Pass the Parcel/ let the music roll…

我们继续击鼓传花......

#5 耶稣邀请我们体验喜乐

If someone can read ‘Verse 7’

如果你拿到‘经文 7’的卡片,麻烦你帮忙读一下:

“I have told you these things so that you will be filled with my joy. Yes, your joy will overflow!”/ John 15:11

我把这些事告诉了你们,好让我的喜乐存在你们心里,并且使你们的喜乐满溢。(约15:11)

This is what Jesus wants you and me to experience: a joy that overflows!

这就是耶稣想让我们体验的:喜乐满溢!

This is what is at the core of the Christmas story.

这就是圣诞故事的核心内容。

If someone can read ‘Verse 8’

如果你拿到‘经文 8’的卡片,麻烦你帮忙读一下:

“Here is what we announce to everyone about the Word of life. The Word was already here from the beginning. We have heard him. We have seen him with our eyes. We have looked at him. Our hands have touched him. This life has appeared. We have seen him. We are witnesses about him. And we

announce to you this same eternal life. He was already with the Father. He has appeared to us. We announce to you what we have seen and heard. We do it so you can share life together with us. And we share life with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ. We are writing this to make our joy

complete.”/ 1 John 1:1-4

论到太初就已经存在的生命之道,就是我们所听见,亲眼所看见,仔细观察过,亲手摸过的;这生命已经显现出来,我们见过了,现在也作见证,并且向你们宣扬这本来与父同在,又向我们显现过的永远的生命。我们把所看见所听见的向你们宣扬,使你们也可以和我们心灵相通。我们是与父和他的儿子耶稣基督心灵相通的。我们写这些事,是要使我们的喜乐充足。(约壹1:1-4)

God became tangible. One of us.

上帝变得有形。成为我们中的一员。

We could see him, hear him, touch him. Tangible.

我们可以看到祂,听到祂,触摸祂。有形的。

As we grasp how God became one of us – in a tangible way so that people could see him, hear him, touch him – We realise He totally gets us.

当我们掌握上帝如何成为我们中的一员,是以一种有形的方式,让人们可以看到祂、听到祂、触摸祂, 我们意识到祂完全理解我们。

That leads to joy: our joy [is] complete.

这会带来喜乐:使我们的喜乐充足。

Yes, there are lots of needs around. I get it. As a pastor, a week doesn’t pass without my hearing or dealing with life in the raw. After all, most people don’t call the church when they’re celebrating:

[“hey – I just a massive pay rise or found a new friend. Wanted you to know!) ... They call when someone when they’re in trouble, when someone is sick, when there is a gaping hole in their life’].

是的,周围有很多需求。作为一名牧师,我没有一个星期,不听到或不处理生活中的问题。毕竟,大多数人在欢庆时,不会给教会打电话。[嘿!我刚加薪,找到了一个新朋友。想让你知道! ] 他们会在

遇到困难时打电话,在某人生病时打电话,在他们的生活不如意时打电话。

The most natural thing for me to do would be to allow all of that to rob me of my joy and to change me from a person of joy to a stoic, frowning, grumpy pastor.

对我来说,很自然的就是让这一切夺走我的喜乐,让我从一个充满喜乐的人变成一个拘谨、皱眉、暴躁的牧师。

No thanks!! Because, the kingdom of God is a place of joy. Your kingdom come Jesus on earth as it is in heaven. Up there is joy. Help joy flow here too!

不!因为,上帝的国度是一个充满喜乐的地方。上帝的国度来了,耶稣在地上就像在天上一样。上面有喜乐。喜乐也在地上流淌!

It means we need to change our perspective about even the pain and the disappointments.

这意味着我们需要改变对痛苦和失望的看法。

I saw a Jucy rental van the other day: It was picking up the question we often ask, ‘are you a glass half empty or glass half full?’ I love the way they answered. On the side of the van were the words‘the glass is half full … and the other half was delicious!’ That’s life in the kingdom of God!

有一天我看到一辆Jucy租赁车。车的一侧印有我们经常问的问题,‘杯子是半空还是半满?’我喜欢他们的回答方式。租赁车的另一侧写着这样的话:‘杯子是半满的 另一半是美味的!’ 这就是在上帝国度里的生活!

Interestingly, someone once asked Mother Teresa, missionary to India, what the job description was for anyone who might wish to work alongside her in the congested streets, narrow alleys, and horrid stories of Calcutta at the time. Without hesitation she mentioned only two things: the desire to work hard and a joyful attitude. Joy is the trait Jesus wants us to experience.

有趣的是,有人曾经问过在印度传教的特蕾莎修女,对于任何希望在当时加尔各答拥挤的街道、狭窄的小巷和可怕的故事中与她并肩工作的人,工作内容是什么。她毫不犹豫地只提到两件事:努力工作的愿望和喜乐的态度。 喜乐是耶稣希望我们体验的特质。

We know Jesus gets us in our laughter – because Jesus’ invitation is for you to experience joy.

我们知道耶稣在我们的欢声笑语中理解我们,因为耶稣邀请我们体验喜乐。

Of course, if this is the invitation, the question is - have you RSVP’d?

当然,如果这是个邀请,问题来了,你回复了吗?

Have you personally responded to Jesus to say ‘I want to do life with you.’ That experience of joy is part of the journey with Jesus. That happens by talking with him. Surrendering over our life him. To now do life together, following his leadership.

你是否亲自回应耶稣说,‘我想和你一起生活’。这种喜乐的体验是与耶稣同行的一部分。那是通过与祂交谈中发生的。把生命交给耶稣,与耶稣同行,跟随祂的领导。

What’s more: Are you inviting your friends to this party? Tomorrow in the staff room or when you’re catching with friends and someone asks what you did over the weekend – ‘I did a bit of stuff around home… went to church on Sunday and heard how Jesus gets us in our laughter and joy.’ That can spark an invite to have your friends join in Christmas Eve.

更重要的是,你是否邀请你的朋友参加这个聚会?明天在员工休息室,或者当你和朋友一起聚会时,有人问你周末做了什么,“我在家里做了点家务 周日去了教堂,听到了耶稣如何在我们的欢声笑语中

理解我们。”这可以引出一个邀请,让你的朋友们加入平安夜的聚会。

Yesterday, we had the joy of having one of our neighbourhood Christmas parties. Did you know we will be feeding 850 people through one of these neighbourhood parties this week? Effectively, giving people a taste of the joy Jesus invites us to experience.

昨天,我们有一个邻里圣诞聚会。你知道我们本周将通过一场聚会提供850人的餐食吗?更有意义的是

,让人们品尝到了耶稣邀请我们体验的喜乐。

Why not think of ways you can invite people to experience joy this week?

为什么不想想本周你能邀请人们体验喜乐的方式呢?
