有时我们地上的生活因为太过的安逸，我们整个的心态就变得自满，以致渐渐忘了我们原来在这世界是寄居的，很快要回去见主。另外，我们也活在一个非常现实的世界。人的生活节奏越来越快，一切都像是凭眼见似的。因此，当我们谈到生死与永生的事情，这不但对一个不信的世界是虚构的事，就是连信徒也常常避讳不谈。其实，复活的事虽然是一个奥秘，但圣经并没有在此向我们隐藏。神愿意我们将复活的事认识得清清楚楚，以至我们在地上能过一个结果子的人生。有时，我们因面对地上的试炼与试探太甚，难免会灰心。但是一旦知道这一切都是有终结的，我们的心不禁被坚强起来。特别，当我们的心思意念朝向终点时，我们自然会轻看那至暂至轻的苦楚。因此，最有能力的信仰生活是那不断将我们安置在复活之事实的信仰，不是叫我们只有专注地上的事。有一位传成功神学的牧师说：“圣经只有百分之十的信息讲到将来复活的事，但百分之九十的信息都是在讲地上的事”。因此他就以这样的观念来将信徒的眼目转移到地上的事，专讲信徒在地上当怎样取得成功、兴盛、卓越等。这是无根无基，且是胡乱的概说。因为圣经所给予信徒地上一切的生活教导与准则，都是包含着复活的意义在里头。我们今天敬虔度日、攻克己身、忍受试探是为什么呢？就是因为我们是将来要交账，且要得冠冕的人。其实，我们要问自己为什么有时因短暂的苦难而极其痛苦？为什么我们忘不了过去的伤害？为何我们一直因现在发生在自己身上不如意的事情而怨声载道？那是因为我们忘了将来复活的事实，以致我们只有被私欲牵引，或是被短暂的得失影响。那时，我们的苦就会加重了！当然，有时神许可一些地上的苦楚是为了叫我们来到神面前求恩惠而经历祂信实的帮助，但是神的帮助绝对少不了将我们指向那极重无比永远的荣耀《林后4:17》。有时，我们活在这属世的世界里，我们的心思意念忽然间受到那暂时的感官牵引。可能有时我们看见自己的孩子非常可爱，我们心里一瞬间想说：“我只有一个愿望，就是只要能看到我的孩子长大，成家立业就够了”；或者有些夫妇关系现在太幸福了，便心里想说：“只要能一起白头到老就好了”；或者有些人说：“我想多活十年，能为主做些什么”。或者有时我们忽然间觉得回去天家没有什么意义，反而在地上能做更多的事。当然，地上的福乐都是神的恩典，祂也乐意将这些恩惠赐给我们，且使我们在享受肉身之乐当中能归荣耀给祂，以至更是尽心竭力要完成主托付我们在地上的使命。但是若这一切叫我们觉得回到天家是“失了味”，那其实是我们失去警醒的心的时候了。我们要晓得这世界是不断的提供给我们各种经历和体验，为要遮盖那复活的荣耀。但其实，神将各种地上美好的经历与体验给我们，为的是要我们借着信，更加的期待将来那极重无比的荣耀。因此，我们不可在复活的事上无知。其实，当我们清楚知道复活的事实之后，我们下面一生的功课就是透过祷告，不让自己被牵引到那地上暂时虚浮的假象。反而我们更是当尽心竭力，轻看那地上的辛苦，且在自己有限的时间将福音传扬，牧养主的群羊，叫主的教会因认识福音而兴盛。我们要在剩余的时光留下最重要的信念与见证给这世界，使后来的世代能认识那拯救世人的福音，且忠于祂的话语。

Sometimes, because our life on earth is too easy and comfortable, our whole mentality becomes complacent, such that we gradually forget that we are foreigners in this world who will soon go back to meet the Lord. In addition, we also live in a very pragmatic world. The pace of our lives is getting faster and faster, and everything seems to be based on what we see. Therefore, when we talk about life, death and eternal life, these issues are not only impractical or unrealistic to an unbelieving world, but even believers often avoid talking about it. In fact, although the resurrection is a mystery, the Bible does not hide it from us. God wants us to understand the resurrection very clearly so that we can live a fruitful life on earth. Sometimes, we are inevitably discouraged because we face much trials and temptations on earth. But once we know that all of these have an end, our hearts will be strengthened. In particular, when our desires and thoughts are heading towards the end, we will not place much emphasis on our light and momentary troubles. Therefore, the most powerful faith living is one that constantly sets us on the matter of resurrection, such that we do not focus on what is on earth. A pastor who preached prosperity theology said, “Only 10% of the contents in the Bible talks about the coming resurrection, but 90% of the contents talks about things on earth.” Therefore, he used this idea to turn believers’ eyes to earthly matters, and talk specifically about how believers should achieve success, prosperity, and excellence, etc. on earth. This has no root and foundation, but is a random generalization. This is because all the teachings and rules of living on earth given to believers by the Bible contain the meaning of resurrection. So, why do we live godly lives, strike a blow to our body and endure temptations today? It is because we are people who eventually have to be accountable to God and receive our heavenly crowns. In fact, we have to ask ourselves why are we sometimes so extremely miserable because of momentary suffering on earth? Why can't we forget past hurts? Why do we let out voices of discontentment when undesirable things continue to happen to us now? That is because we have forgotten the truth regarding the coming resurrection, such that we are only driven by our desires or affected by momentary gains or losses. At such time, our agony will increase! Of course, sometimes God allows some suffering on earth so that we come before God for His grace and experience His faithful help, but God's help absolutely does not avoid pointing us to the eternal glory that far outweighs them all <2 Co 4:17>. Sometimes, when we live in this secular world, our hearts and minds are suddenly led on by our temporary senses. Perhaps sometimes when we see our children being so lovable, there is a moment when our heart will say, “I only have one wish, that is, I am content to see them grown up, settle down at work and get married”, or some couples who are in a blessed relationship will say in their hearts, “It's good as long as we can grow old together”; or some people say, “I want to live ten years more so that I can do something for the Lord.” Or sometimes we suddenly feel that there is no purpose in going back to heaven, but we can do more on earth. Of course, the blessings on earth are God's grace, and He is also willing to give us these blessings so that in the enjoyment of the flesh we may give Him the glory, and all the more give ourselves fully to complete the earthly mission that the Lord has entrusted us. But if all these make us feel that returning to heaven means “losing the taste”, that is when we have actually lost the watchful heart. We must know that this world is constantly providing us with various experiences and understanding in order to conceal the glory of the resurrection. But in fact, God gives us all kinds of wonderful experiences and understanding on earth, so that by faith we can look forward to the future eternal glory that far outweighs them all. Therefore, we must not be ignorant about the matter of resurrection. Actually, after we clearly know the truth relating to the resurrection, our next lesson in this lifetime is through prayer, not to let ourselves be led on by the illusion of temporary vanity. On the contrary, we should give ourselves fully to the work of God, place less emphasis on the suffering on this earth, share the gospel in our limited time, and shepherd the Lord's sheep, so that the Lord's church will be revived through knowing the gospel. In our remaining time on earth, we must leave behind the most important beliefs and testimonies for the world, so that the later generations can know the gospel that saves the world and be true to the word of God.
