使徒保罗对信徒说:“要常常喜乐”。我再说,你们要喜乐。”喜乐是神给人最直接的祝福。人可能会问:“你为什么想拥有一幅手机,或一套房子?你为何这么想要结婚?为何想有孩子?”但没有人会问:“你为什么要喜乐?”因为喜乐是人的本能里面的需要,且是一个人领受了祝福的明证。当神赐福人,那福里面就是包含着神同在的喜乐了。所以,我们不需要解释我们为什么要喜乐,但我们可能需要解释我们为什么要钱、要结婚等?那么,我们基督徒今天要问自己一个最切身的问题就是:“我喜乐吗?”若不喜乐,为什么呢?另外,若一个人说他很喜乐?他一定要问自己的喜乐是建立在哪里?那是会因情况环境改变而失去的喜乐吗?或是他现在正盼望着有些美好的结果,而这结果一达不成,喜乐就消散呢?有时,我们心里面隐藏着许多的不安与焦虑,或是私欲和惧怕,那都是我们没有被环境触动时不擦觉到我们现在享有的喜乐是多么虚假的。其实,比我们不喜乐更严重的问题是我们让自己的心欺骗自己,认为我们没有不喜乐。确实,能够承认自己不喜乐或是困苦是多么难看,且是多么脆弱的。但是,当我们能够承认自己不喜乐,那确实是一种谦卑,且是求代祷的表态。那其实是我们排除相对的“喜乐”而进入在主里不摇动的喜乐的道路了。有很多信徒其实活在担忧、无助或暂时的满足里,却认为能靠着自己坚强的意志走下去,这样一来,他并没有领受圣灵的代求。但是,一个真尝到,且珍惜神同在的喜乐的信徒是不断地争战,且向往进入在基督里那不变的喜乐。他时常会向主诚实的祷告说:“我的心哪,你为何忧闷?为何在我里面烦躁?应当仰望神,因他笑脸帮助我,我还要称赞他《诗42:5》。他会一直争战,直到他能为基督的缘故,以软弱、凌辱、急难、逼迫、困苦为可喜乐的...《林后12:10》。确实,很多的基督徒是没有真喜乐的。他们多半是靠着自己自然的意志和开心来生活。有很多因为没有活在切实的缺乏与挑战当中,所以以安逸为喜乐。其实,当他们面对有一些试炼或是自己不能掌控的环境,他们很容易就会失去喜乐。有时,我们会看见自己在一天繁忙的生活中掉入压力或血气。确实,我们不要这么轻易误认那安逸的感觉为喜乐。主给信徒的喜乐是有根基,有争战,且有使命的。根基来自神在基督里赐给我们不变的应许。争战来自我们透过祷告来战胜自己的私欲和一次又一次的试炼。使命在于我们活出主给予我们的呼召,成为周围人的祝福,且将福音传给他们
Apostle Paul said, “Rejoice always. I say again: You must rejoice!” Joy is one of the most direct blessing that God has given Man. Some may ask, “Why do you like to have a handphone or a house? Why do you want to get married? Why do you want to have children?” However, no one will ask, “Why do you want to be joyful?” This is because joy is an inherent need in Man and it is a proof that Man has received blessings. When God blesses Man, within that blessing contains the joy of God’s presence. Therefore, we do not need to explain why we want to be joyful but we may need to explain why we want money, get married, etc. Hence, we Christians, must ask ourselves a very vital question today, “Am I joyful? If I am not joyful, what is the reason?” On the other hand, if a person says he is very joyful, he must ask himself what is the basis of his joy? Does his joy disappear when things or surroundings change? Or he now hopes for a beautiful outcome, and when this outcome cannot be achieved, would his joy disappear? Sometimes, we have lots of uneasiness and worries, or desires and fears hidden in our hearts, but we are unaware of them as we have yet to be triggered by the environment, such that we do not realise that the joy we have is false. Actually, a more serious problem than not being joyful is when we allow our hearts to be deceived, thinking that we not joyless. Indeed, it does not look good and it seems vulnerable to admit that one is not joyful or is troubled. However, when we are able to recognise that we are not joyful, it is a form of humility, and a request for intercession. That is actually a journey of us moving away from “relative” joy and entering into unwavering joy. Many believers actually live in worries, helplessness or temporary contentment, and they think that they can rely on their strength and will to go on. Thus, they do not receive the intercession of the Holy Spirit. However, a believer who has truly tasted the joy from God’s presence and treasures it, continues to battle and anticipates to enter into the unchanging joy in Christ, he will often pray honestly to God, “Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him, my Savior and my God.” <Ps 42:5> He will continue to battle until for Christ’s sake, [he] delights in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties…<2 Co 12:10>. Truly, many Christians do not have real joy. Many of them rely on their own natural will or happiness to live. Because many of them also have not lived in real lack and challenges, they consider such comfort zone as joy. Actually, when they face some trials or situations where they cannot control, they will easily lose their joy. Sometimes, we can see ourselves falling into stress and impulsiveness in a day’s busyness. Truly, we should not easily misconceive feeling of comfort as joy. The joy that the Lord has given believers has foundation, battle and mission. The foundation comes from the unchanging promises that God has given us in Christ. The battle comes from using prayer to triumph over our own desires and the trials that occur again and again. Mission lies in us living out the calling the Lord has given us, becoming a blessing to the people around us and sharing the gospel to them.
