聖心為我輩安息之所 The Sacred Heart Is Our Resting Place

聖心為我輩安息之所（瑪11:25-30）

人生在世，得一能交心的知己，可謂無憾了。退一步，能得一伯樂，發掘到自己的才幹，我們也會像諸葛亮一樣，鞠躬盡瘁，死而後已！即使是升斗市民，倘若找到一位好老闆，我們也會盡忠職守，傾盡所有才幹，為他賺錢。

耶穌基督是個好老闆嗎？絕對是，但祂有很獨到的領導風格。
不像一般的企業家，耶穌基督不會把我們和祂的關係，看成是一種合約關係，要求我們朝九晚五，完成工作配額，然後準時出糧給我們。相反，祂祇邀請我們傳福音，卻沒有定下每年三千人領洗的目標。一如祂所說：「我的軛是柔和的，我的擔子是輕鬆的。」（瑪11:30）祂沒有要求我們賣命，卻為我們傾盡心血，在十字架上捨掉自己的性命。

耶穌是伯樂嗎？絕對是。祂肯定我們是有尊嚴的天主肖像，是有永恆的命運！我們不是鬥爭過程中的一隻棋子，為祂達成目標，用完既棄的工具。我們就是祂要造就的目標！祂用的是柔和的軛，輕鬆的擔，不是為了抑壓我們的叛逆，而是啟發我們受傷了的潛質，成聖的潛質，讓蒙污了的天主肖像，得以重新展露光芒！

耶穌是我們的知己嗎？絕對是。是祂創造了我們，知道我們的五內，知道我們的快樂；祂更以被刺透了的四肢和心臟，告訴我們祂知道我們的一切明顯的和隱密的痛苦。祂讓那被敞開的心，成為收容我們的安息之所。在那裡，我們可以無憾，享受真正的安息（創2:2）。
主耶穌基督！也請祢不嫌卑陋，光臨寒舍，做我心靈的嘉賓。亞孟。

The Sacred Heart Is Our Resting Place (Matthew 11:23-30)

There shall be nothing left to regret if we are lucky enough to find a soulmate on earth. Take a step back, if we can find a Bo Le who is able to hook our talents, we shall be glad to toil to death like Zhuge Liang! Even for us commoners, if we find a good boss, we would be loyal and work with all diligence to earn money for him.

Is Jesus Christ a good boss? Absolutely but His is a unique style of leadership.
Unlike other entrepreneurs, Jesus Christ does not treat our relationship with Him like a contract, demanding us to work nine to five, fill the quotas and pay us punctually. On the contrary, He invites us to evangelize but does not set a target of 3000 converts per annum. Just as what He says, "For my yoke is easy, and my burden light" (Matthew 11:30). He does not demand us to labour to death but poured out for us all His blood and life on the cross.

Is Jesus a Bo Le? Absolutely. He affirms that we have the dignity of the image of God and are destined for eternal life! We are not a pawn in power struggle, a dispensable nut when our mission is accomplished. We ARE the ends! He makes use of easy yoke and light burden, not to suppress our rebelliousness but to ignite our wounded potentials, the potential of sanctification, making the soiled image of God shine forth again!

Is Jesus our soulmate? Absolutely. He created us and knew me before He formed me in my mother’s womb. He knows my happiness. His pierced limbs and heart tell me that He knows all our pains inside out. His opened heart becomes our place of rest. There, we have no regret and enjoy genuine repose (Genesis 2:2).
Lord Jesus Christ! Be the guest of my heart. Amen.
