另一種聲音：約拿 逃跑卻被追回的人｜蔡岡廷牧師 Pastor Matt

當我們清楚領受呼召，內心卻被恐懼與自我佔據時，逃避往往成為人的本能。先知約拿試圖逃往他施以躲避耶和華，卻在跌宕的人生海浪與魚腹的三天三夜中，經歷了神興起的環境與愛的管教。生命的狂風大浪看似劇烈，其實不是為了摧毀，而是天父出於愛的挽回與贖回。 約拿在風暴中選擇承認身分、犧牲自己而被拋入海中的經歷，正清晰地預表了那位不逃避使命、甘願為人類承擔罪孽並死裡復活的耶穌基督。 真正的出路永遠是轉向福音。當我們願意放手、停止逃避，緊抓的手鬆開，神的工作就能全然接手。只要願意帶著軟弱轉向神，剛硬的心就會被天父溫柔的愛軟化，帶領我們在風浪中經歷平靜，重新成為神福音聲音的出口。 參考經文：約拿書1章1-6, 9-12, 17節 - When we clearly receive a calling but our hearts are consumed by fear and self-will, running away often becomes a human instinct. The prophet Jonah attempted to flee to Tarshish to hide from the Lord, yet amidst the turbulent waves of life and three days and three nights in the belly of a fish, he experienced God's sovereign environment and loving discipline. The fierce storms of life may seem violent, but they are not meant to destroy us; rather, they are the Heavenly Father's way of restoring and redeeming us out of love. Jonah's choice during the storm to acknowledge his identity, sacrifice himself, and be cast into the sea clearly foreshadows Jesus Christ—the One who did not shrink back from His mission, willingly bore our sins, and rose again from the dead. The true way out is always to turn to the Gospel. When we are willing to let go, stop running, and release our tight grip, God can fully take over. As long as we are willing to turn to God with our weaknesses, our hardened hearts will be softened by the Father's tender love, leading us to experience peace in the midst of the storm and renewing us to become a vessel for the voice of His Gospel.
