机场里的歌声

作者:每日箴言   来源:普世佳音

“‘凡劳苦担重担的人,可以到我这里来,我就使你们得安息。’” - 太 11:28

在接驳下一班机之前,我经过海关检查准备登机,我留意到,很多人的面部表情都专注在顺利通过下一关。有很多人眉头深锁,有些则埋头埋脑发送短信和微博,他们只是前行几步、拖动他们的行李、停下来、之后又继续发送另一个讯息了。

接着我留意到一个新的景象,我听到歌声,我看到人们开始面露笑容,远远在前有一个充满喜乐的行李搬运员,他向每一个前来托运行李的旅客唱起歌来,他借用熟识的曲调,即兴配上切合每一个来到他面前的人的歌词,笑容顿时在人们脸上绽放,随之而来的便是愉快的交谈,而他则咧着嘴以歌声回应。

当我目睹这个景象和渐渐走近歌者时,出于某种原因,我发觉我很想知道,我到达他那个位置时,他会为我唱什么的歌。

在那一刻,我突然醒觉到,这个人与别人交接的方式令我想起耶稣。当耶稣碰到背负生命重担的路人时,衪也向他们唱一首新歌;衪唱的是盼望、友谊、恩典、和任何能够照亮他们的日子和环境的歌曲。

每一个新的早晨,我们都有机会让耶稣除去我们的忧虑和唱歌给我们听的呢。

祷告

耶稣啊,感谢祢愿意背负我的重担,求祢今天便挪走它们和复苏我的灵。感谢祢赐我安息,感谢祢让我心里有喜乐和平安。奉祢的名祈求,阿们。

 

马太福音 11:25-30

25 那时,耶稣说:“父啊,天地的主,我感谢你!因为你将这些事向聪明通达人就藏起来,向婴孩就显出来。
26 父啊,是的,因为你的美意本是如此。
27 一切所有的,都是我父交付我的。除了父,没有人知道子;除了子和子所愿意指示的,没有人知道父。
28 凡劳苦担重担的人,可以到我这里来,我就使你们得安息。
29 我心里柔和谦卑,你们当负我的轭,学我的样式,这样你们心里就必得享安息。
30 因为我的轭是容易的,我的担子是轻省的。”

Singing In The Airport

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." — Matthew 11:28

英语音频 English Audio

As I was boarding a plane and going through customs before connecting to my next flight, I noticed the faces of so many people focusing on getting through the next line. Many wore frowns, and some were so intent on texts and tweets that all they did was take a few steps, drag their suitcase, stop, and send another message.

Then I noticed something changing. I could hear singing, and I saw faces begin to smile. Far ahead I saw that the baggage handler was thoroughly enjoying his day. He was singing to each traveler as they handed over their suitcases. He was ad-libbing words to familiar songs so that they connected with each person in front of him. Immediately smiles would break out, and cheerful conversations followed. He sang back his responses with a grin.

Somehow, as I watched and stepped closer to the singer, I realized I was curious what the song for me might be when I reached that part of the line.

Then it struck me that the way this man was engaging with people reminded me of Jesus. As Jesus encounters people who walk by with their baggage of life, he sings them a new song. He sings songs of hope, friendship, grace, and whatever else is needed to brighten their day and circumstances.

With every new day, we have the opportunity to let Jesus take our cares and sing to us.

Prayer

Jesus, thank you for offering to carry my burdens. Please take them today and refresh my soul. Thank you for rest. Thank you for joy and peace of heart. In your name, Amen.
