不可鷄同鴨講


真正的宗教要以天堂的觀點來面對世界的問題,也要把永恆的觀念帶進時間的考量。傳遞基督信息的使者,雖然他所說的是從神而來,對他的聽眾,也必須如貴格會所說的:「針對狀況而言」;否則他將會是只說自己聽得懂的語言。他的信息不只是超越時代,也得是適時的,他必須向他自己的世代傳講。

True religion confronts earth with heaven and brings eternity to bear upon time. The messenger of Christ, though he speaks from God, must also, as the Quakers used to say, ”speak to the condition” of his hearers; otherwise he will speak a language known only to himself. His message must be not only timeless but timely. He must speak to his own generation.
