昨日半晚， 在BD Jct搭公车. 车上前坐有一位嬉皮士兴致超好地大声讲着话,我听得见听得懂的也只有Jesus这一个字. 车子摇摇晃晃我尽力地保护着手里提的瑞士卷不被压坏, 但忍不住多看了他几眼, 那人衣着很奇怪, 有顶鹅黄色一圈的翻边圆帽, 黑色尖领衬衣外套着一件深绿色的西装, 胸前有一个大大的金色五角星. 他的头型长长尖尖, 两腮酒醉似的红一直泛衍到光头上. 当时想着, 此人若要是出现在丹丹的画中一定也可以渲染气氛. 可是这样一个人, 忽然让我想起初中时听过的一段Joan Osborne的曲子.

What if God was one of us?
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Trying to make his way home

If God had a face what would it look like?
And would you want to see
If seeing meant that
you would have to believe
in things like heaven and in Jesus and the saints
and all the prophets

And yeah yeah God is great yeah yeah God is good
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah ...

音符像小石敲击一块斑驳的墙, 如蛋壳一片片碎下, 原来神是否就在我们身边这个问题我老早想过, 透过厚厚的镜片奇异地猜想着神的样子, 把神光辉的形象颠覆成邋遢的过路人, 极为不敬. 但是神用他的话告诉我们, 他在我们里面,一直看着我们, 在我们亲眼见到祂之前所要度过只是一段小小的苦楚.
1 Peter 5:10
And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.
