《神的屬性A-Z》Day23
《W for Worthy》
10 二十四位長老就俯伏敬拜坐在寶座上活到永永遠遠的那一位，又把他們的冠冕放在寶座前，說：11「我們的主，我們的神，祢配得榮耀、尊貴、權柄，因為祢創造了萬物，萬物因祢的旨意被創造而存在。」(啟示錄四10-11)
11 我又看見且聽見，寶座與活物並長老的周圍有許多天使的聲音；他們的數目有千千萬萬，12 大聲說：曾被殺的羔羊是配得權柄、豐富、智慧、能力、尊貴、榮耀、頌讚的。13 我又聽見在天上、地上、地底下、滄海裏，和天地間一切所有被造之物，都說：但願頌讚、尊貴、榮耀、權勢都歸給坐寶座的和羔羊，直到永永遠遠！14 四活物就說：「阿們！」眾長老也俯伏敬拜。 (啟示錄五11-14)
時候將到，如今就是了，那真正拜父的，要用心靈和誠實拜祂，因為父要這樣的人拜祂。(約翰福音四23)
10 the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne and worship him who lives for ever and ever. They lay their crowns before the throne and say: 11 “You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for You created all things, and by Your will they were created and have their being.” (Revelation 4:10-11)
11 Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels, numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand. They encircled the throne and the living creatures and the elders. 12 In a loud voice they were saying: “Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!” 13 Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, saying: “To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!”14 The four living creatures said, “Amen,” and the elders fell down and worshiped.(Revelation 5:11-14)
23 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. (John 4:23)

分享：你知道《啟示錄》記載了天上的讚美會嗎？天使、長老、萬國萬民都在唱頌神：「祢配得榮耀、尊貴、權柄」(四11、五12) 那是一場沒有舞台、沒有明星，卻充滿榮耀的敬拜，因為焦點只有一位：神本身。
希臘文的axios (worthy) 是指「相稱、合宜的、有價值的」。故當我們說神是worthy，是指祂的本性與作為完全配得一切的敬拜、尊榮、權能與感謝。
事實上，天上的讚美會已揭示了敬拜的內涵。「我們的主，我們的神，祢配得榮耀、尊貴、權柄，因為祢創造了萬物，萬物因祢的旨意被創造而存在。」(啟示錄四11) 神配得一切敬拜，因祂是萬有的起源與生命的賜予者；祂的設計和主權，使萬物得以存在並有意義。祂的價值是本有的、永恆的，人只是承認祂的配得。「曾被殺的羔羊是配得權柄、豐富、智慧、能力、尊貴、榮耀、頌讚的。」(啟示錄五12) 不僅因祂的創造，神的配得也因祂的救贖：主耶穌為愛捨己，彰顯了至高的榮耀與價值。
作為被造、被救贖的，我們宣告神的配得，對祂作出一切的敬拜、尊榮、感謝是最自然不過的；然而，人常因焦點偏移而忽略了敬拜的中心。正如井旁撒馬利亞婦人提出的敬拜地點爭議 (參約翰福音四1-42) ，歷代總有為敬拜的形式爭議不斷，但每一段的爭論也導向大家返回敬拜的核心：「那真正拜父的，要用心靈和誠實拜祂。」(約翰福音四23) 敬拜是源自神的靈和神的真理，這正是祂的配得，故人的偏好風格不應取代敬拜焦點！正如The Heart of Worship的作者Matt Redman在停下敬拜樂隊和音響後體會到：「敬拜不在於音樂的華麗，而在於一顆回歸神中心的心。」
就讓我們重新回到神的本身，在敬拜中宣告祂的配得！
反思：在敬拜中，我常用「我喜歡」作為標準，還是「祂配得」作為焦點？我是否願意調整心態，讓敬拜重新以神為中心？
禱告：主啊，祢是配得一切榮耀、尊貴與權能的神！求祢赦免我們常以自己的喜好取代祢的中心。願我們的生命成為不斷的敬拜，不只在歌聲中，也在順服、感恩與愛中彰顯祢的價值。因祢本來就配得，我們全心敬拜祢。奉主名求，阿們。
