Advent Word, Day 16 ‘mend’

Day 16 #mend #修補 Tuesday December 13

‘Christianity is really all about mending. That is what redemption means: mending something which is broken. Every Christian is called to share with God in mending that which is broken: mending our relationship with God, with one another, and mending the torn canvas of God’s broken world’.

基督教其實是攸關「修補」的信仰；贖罪的意義，正是將那「已破損的」加以修復。每位基督徒都蒙上帝呼召來分擔「補缺成全」的聖工：我們要修復與神、與人的關係，並補救這幅「理應完美歸主，卻遭世人撕裂」的世界圖像。
