Rabbi Schneider: 本集讲述了东方三博士拜访耶稣的经典圣诞故事。故事发生在耶稣出生后6到18个月之间,当时圣家居住在伯利恒的一个简陋住所。三博士历经艰辛,跟随星辰的指引而来,他们并非普通的朝拜者,而是各自领域的王,他们对耶稣的到来充满敬畏。他们向耶稣献上黄金、乳香和没药三件礼物,分别象征着耶稣的王权、神性和牺牲。这不仅仅是一个画面优美的场景,更是一个关于真皇室、有意义的崇拜和发自内心的给予的灵性课程。三博士的朝拜体现了真正的伟大并非源于世俗的财富和权力,而在于对公义和信仰的追求。他们所献的礼物也并非简单的物质馈赠,而是蕴含着深刻的象征意义,预示着耶稣未来的使命和牺牲。故事的结尾,三博士因害怕希律王而选择秘密离开,这更增添了故事的神秘性和紧张感。这个故事提醒我们,真正的财富和价值在于对耶稣的信仰和爱,以及对他人真诚的爱与奉献。在圣诞节来临之际,我们应该反思自身对成功的定义,以及如何将爱与奉献融入到我们的生活中。 Rabbi Schneider: 通过对东方三博士来朝故事的解读,我们可以深入思考真王的意义。耶稣的出生并非在富丽堂皇的宫殿,而是在简陋的马槽,这挑战了世人对权力和声望的传统理解。三博士的朝拜,以及他们所献上的礼物,都象征着对耶稣的敬畏和信仰。黄金象征耶稣的王权,乳香象征耶稣的神性,没药预示耶稣的牺牲。这些礼物不仅具有物质价值,更蕴含着深刻的属灵意义,预示着耶稣未来的使命和牺牲。这个故事也提醒我们,真正的伟大并非源于世俗的财富和权力,而在于对公义和信仰的追求。在圣诞节,我们应该反思自身对成功的定义,以及如何将爱与奉献融入到我们的生活中,将耶稣基督作为我们生命中最大的宝藏。
