To Exorcise The World 為這個世界驅魔

為這個世界驅魔（谷3:22-30）

天主是愛（若一4:8），而三位一體中的「聖神」，正是聖父與聖子之間彼此交流著的愛，而整個宇宙本來就是浸淫在這個愛的氛圍之中。所以天主聖神不但是「真理之神」（若14:17），更是「愛德之神」。憑著這份愛，耶穌基督甘心在十字架上，代替罪人償還罪債。撒殫再沒有口實可以指控人類，天主子從惡魔手中，奪回了這個被罪惡污染了的世界（16:33）。

世界本來有賴天主聖言所創造與維持，可惜世界墮落了，不接受這位天主子（1:11），並與天主為敵。天主子來到世上，並非審判世界，而是拯救世界（3:17），把世界從惡魔的奴役中，解放出來。驅魔就是解放世界的其中一個表達，天主子給撒殫的一個「下馬威」。
魔鬼以「罪惡」奴役這個世界。「罪惡」究竟是甚麼呢？簡單地說，罪惡就是愛的否定。即使是極精密極周詳的法律，也不能防範或者杜絕罪惡發生。倘若立法的出發點不是愛，也祇會淪為「惡法」！因此企圖以守法來尋求在天主前，無可指摘，簡直是癡人說夢。

那麼，耶穌基督憑甚麼來戰勝邪魔，拯救世界呢？就是愛，就是聖神；天主子以愛征服這個被罪惡污染了的世界，以聖神恢復它的生命力！耶穌基督以無比的大愛，在十字架上為罪人犧牲了自己的性命，償還了古往今來人類所欠下的所有罪債，從邪魔手中搶救了全部人質，使撒殫也要屈服在天主子的大愛之下！天主子就是憑著這真理之神與愛德之神，戰勝並拯救了這個世界！所以，把聖神的愛講述成為邪魔的法力，不但有違真理，更是對愛徹底的否定。所以主說：「褻瀆了聖神，永遠不得赦免」（谷3:29）。

各位兄弟姊妹，天父樂意把聖神賞賜給我們（路11:13）。求吧！讓我們有足夠的力量，與基督一起，解放這個被撒殫奴役的世界。亞孟！在年初二，恭祝大家充滿聖神，承行主旨！
天主保祐！

To Exorcise The World (Mark 3:22-30)

God is love (1 John 4:8) and the Holy Spirit of the Blessed Trinity is the interflow of love between the Father and the Son. This known universe is sustained in this milieu of love. Thus, not only is the Holy Spirit the “Spirit of Truth” (John 14:17), but He is also the “Spirit of Love”. With this love, Jesus Christ is willing to repay on the cross the debts of all sinners. Satan has nothing remain to accuse us before the Father. The Son of God has captured the sin-infested world from the hands of the Devil (16:33).

The world was created and sustained by the Word of God. Regrettably, the world had fallen and did not accept this Son of God (1:11) and antagonizes God. The Son of God did not come to condemn the world but to save it (3:17), to liberate the world from the slavery of the Devil. Exorcism is one of the expressions of liberating the world and with it, the Son of God shoves the fear of God down Satan’s throat!
The Devil enslaves the world with sin and what is sin? Simply put, sin is the negation of love. No matter how detailed and water-proof a piece of legislation is, it is unable to prevent crimes. Had the legislation been based on something other than love, it would only become an evil law! Thus, justification before God by the observance of laws is only day-dreaming.

Then, with what did Jesus conquer the Devil and saved the world? Love, i.e. the Holy Spirit. The Son of God conquers this sin-infested world with love and restores its vitality with the Holy Spirit! With incomparable love, Jesus Christ sacrificed Himself on the cross to repay all debts in their entirety from of old to the end of the world in the future and to extract all hostages from the control of the Devil. Satan has to surrender to the grand charity of the Son of God! With the Spirit of Truth and the Spirit of Love, the Son of Man conquers and rescues the world! Thus, framing the love of the Holy Spirit as evil magic is not only wrong but the total negation of love. Thus, the Lord says, “Whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never have forgiveness …” (Mark 3:29).

Brethren, the Father is eager to give us the Holy Spirit (Luke 11:13). Ask! Let us be filled with sufficient power to liberate together with Christ this enslaved world. Amen! On the second day of the Lunar New Year, may I wish you all filled with the Holy Spirit to do God’s will!
God bless!
