Timothy Keller: 本讲座探讨了智慧生活与情绪管理的关系,特别是如何理解和处理愤怒。Keller 认为,智慧不仅仅是道德和善良,更重要的是在道德规则无法解决的大多数生活情境中做出正确的决定。要过智慧的生活,就要理解愤怒,并能够处理自己和他人的愤怒。理解愤怒需要学习四个方面:愤怒的危险力量、愤怒的基本善性、愤怒出错的原因以及如何治愈愤怒。愤怒如同炸药,具有毁灭性力量,能够瓦解身心和社会关系。愤怒会损害身体健康,平静的心态利于身心健康,而愤怒则会损害骨骼。愤怒会破坏人际关系和社会和谐。愤怒会损害人的智慧和判断力,让人做出愚蠢的决定。愤怒像会上瘾的物质一样,会让人陷入否认之中,难以控制。圣经认为愤怒本质上是好的,但需要控制。圣经提倡的是“慢怒”,而不是不愤怒或暴怒。从不生气和暴怒都是罪,圣经提倡“慢怒”。上帝也“慢怒”,这是智慧的标志。愤怒是爱的一种表现形式,是对所爱之物受到威胁的反应。上帝的愤怒源于他爱人类,并对罪恶感到愤怒。混乱的爱导致混乱的愤怒,其表现为愤怒的起因、比例和目标都失序。正常的愤怒应该针对问题而非人,而混乱的愤怒则会攻击人,寻求报复。治愈愤怒需要三个步骤:承认、分析和转化。治愈愤怒的第一步是承认自己的愤怒,不要否认或掩饰。治愈愤怒的第二步是分析愤怒的根源,弄清楚是什么让你生气。治愈愤怒的第三步是转化愤怒,以温柔回应愤怒,以爱来回应仇恨。上帝通过耶稣的牺牲,以温柔的方式回应了人类的愤怒,这为我们提供了治愈愤怒的榜样。耶稣的牺牲是最终的“外科手术式打击”,他爱罪人,恨罪恶。 Martin Luther King Jr.: King 引用了耶稣关于爱敌人的教导,并指出这并非不切实际的理想,而是应对仇恨和暴力破坏性后果的实践性方法。他强调,在争取民权的过程中,既要坚决反对种族隔离,又要以爱来对待种族隔离主义者。King 呼吁以“灵魂力量”对抗暴力,即使遭受迫害,也要继续以爱回应。他相信,这种爱的力量最终会感化对手,赢得真正的胜利,建立一个充满爱的社会。

Shownotes Transcript

If you’re going to live a wise life and have a discerning heart, you need to understand anger. 

Wisdom is knowing the right decision in the vast majority of life situations that the moral rules don’t address. And in order to be wise, you need to be able to understand and handle anger—not only in yourself, but in other people as well. 

There are four things we need to learn about anger: 1) its dangerous power, 2) its basic goodness, 3) why it goes wrong, and 4) how it can be healed.

This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on October 17, 2004. Series: Proverbs: True Wisdom for Living. Scripture: Proverbs 14:29-30; 15:1, 18; 16:32; 19:11, 19; 24:28-29; 25:21-22.
