点燃一支喜乐的蜡烛
我们家里不需要用蜡烛照明。所以,点燃蜡烛,就意味着“有事情发生了”。如果我的妻子回家并看见一支燃烧的蜡烛,她的第一个问题是:“有什么人来了吗?”
她这样问,是因为当她邀请了某人,在还未用吸尘器打扫屋子和洗干净脏盘子之前,她会做的第一件事就是点一支蜡烛。她喜欢香味,而香熏蜡烛让家里闻起来气味很好。它们不仅掩盖了旧袜子和沾灰布偶的的老旧气味,而且还添加了诱人的肉桂、凤仙花和香草味。它们让我们远离街道的繁嚣,并让我们觉得自己在其他某个充满异国情调、浪漫或令人兴奋的地方。
当你为将临期第三周点燃一支蜡烛,就让火柴、蜡和灯芯的气味将你的思绪带走吧。想想旧约圣殿的祭坛;上面不再需要燔祭,因为上帝的羔羊一次为所有人被献上了。你将永远不会见到硫磺的火湖——地狱中最终而可怕的流放之地。
还要想想在圣所里燃烧的馨香之气,将信徒的祷告带到天父的宝座前。他热切地倾听。儿女的祈求就如馨香蒙他悦纳。 “耶和华是我的力量,是我的盾牌,我心里倚靠他就得帮助。我心中欢乐,我要用诗歌称谢他。”(诗篇28:7;《和合本修订版》)
让第三支蜡烛提醒你耶稣所带来的喜乐。
