Free Of Shame
“既是这样,还有什么说的呢?神若帮助我们,谁能敌挡我们呢?” - 罗 8:31
What . . . shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? — Romans 8:31

羞耻是个沉重的负担。羞耻使我们下沉,阻碍我们成为神希望我们的样子。有时羞耻就像没有愈合的伤口,而伴随着的是可怕的记忆。我们可能多年背负某种羞耻,由于很久以前伤痛的经历,我们活在不安、惧怕和自我蔑视之中。羞耻会以论断、谴责、期望、反对等等的包袱来重重压着我们。
Shame is a heavy burden. Shame weighs us down and hinders us from being who God has intended us to be. Sometimes shame is raw like an open wound—and with terrifying memories. We can also carry shame for years, living with insecurities, fears, and a sense of self-disdain because of hurtful actions and exchanges from long ago. Shame holds us down with the weights of judgment, condemnation, expectations, disapproval, and more.
然而,在耶稣里复活生命的自由挪去了我们生命中羞耻的重担。耶稣把我们的羞耻带到了十字架上;祂被出卖,被鞭打,被羞辱,衣不蔽体。祂舍弃自己的生命来偿还我们罪的重价,好使我们从罪的残暴和羞耻中得到释放。因着耶稣的死和复活,当我们祈求神的赦免时,我们就得到赦免了。神的爱让我们能放开过去的丑陋,并自信地前进,知道“如今那些在基督耶稣里的,就不定罪了”(罗马书8:1),而且没有任何事物能使我们与神的爱隔绝。
