在路邊看到一個招牌寫著「你想見識社交距離嗎？就借點錢給人吧」，咋看好笑但其實諷刺意味濃厚！這令我聯想到另一句話「富在深山有遠親，窮在鬧市無人問。」如果將這些句子圖像化，雖然很寫實但又悲哀；然而在聖經中有些相關經文的描述卻是令人倍感溫馨與有盼望的，例如，箴言 十九章十七節：「憐憫貧窮的，就是借給耶和華； 他的善行，耶和華必償還。」這個經文的圖像就是信，望，愛的展現，無論是貧窮的或是富足的都有希望，因為我們的神是美善的，是信實的，屬神的人的是活在愛裡，何等的有福有盼望。
「「我民中有貧窮人與你同住，你若借錢給他，不可如放債的向他取利。」
- 出埃及記 22:25
「你們要給人，就必有給你們的，並且用十足的升斗，連搖帶按，上尖下流地倒在你們懷裏；因為你們用甚麼量器量給人，也必用甚麼量器量給你們。」」
- 路加福音 6:38
「我凡事給你們作榜樣，叫你們知道應當這樣勞苦，扶助軟弱的人，又當記念主耶穌的話，說：『施比受更為有福。』」」- 使徒行傳 20:35
I saw a sign on the side of the road that said "You wanna see social distancing？Loan somebody some money." It looks funny at first sight, but it is actually quite ironic! This reminds me of another Chinese saying, "The rich in the mountains have distant relatives visit, but the poor lives in downtown and no one bothers." If these sentences are visualized, they are very realistic but sad. However some related scriptures in the Bible describe the cause that makes people feel warm and have hope. For example, in Proverbs 19:17: “He who has mercy on the poor lends to the Lord; the Lord will repay his good deeds.” The image of this verse is faith, hope, and love. There is hope for both the poor and the rich, because our God is an awesome God. He is faithful, and whoever is in Him is living in love, is blessed, and has hope.
If you help the poor, you are lending to the Lord — and he will repay you!
- Proverbs 19:17 NLT
“If you lend money to any of my people who are in need, do not charge interest as a money lender would. - Exodus 22:25 NLT
Give, and you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full—pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, running over, and poured into your lap. The amount you give will determine the amount you get back. ” - Luke 6:38 NLT
And I have been a constant example of how you can help those in need by working hard. You should remember the words of the Lord Jesus: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ ” - Acts of the Apostles 20:35 NLT
