M. Christopher Boyer 11/15/2015 1 A passage of Scripture which foretells destruction seems eerily prescient today. The world is still reeling from the terrorist attacks in Paris o n Friday night which killed over 125 people. Almost overlooked are similar attacks in Beirut, wh ere nearly 50 died, and in Baghdad, where 20 were killed, most in a funeral at a mosque. Sadly, we have become inured to news of violence from the Middle East, where it seems that there hav e been wars and rumors of wars nearly continuously since the time of Jesus. But the loss of life is just as tragic; the grief, just as profound. All around the world, innocent men, wome n, and children are dying for the sake of “great causes” to which they are only tangentially related. Now more than ever, it seems, we need the reassuring presence of Jesus. Now, more t han ever, it seems, we need the reminder of the faith of Hannah, whose song in praise of God’s mercy we used as our Call to Worship this morning. We must cling to the promise that God wil l protect the weak and raise the poor from the dust of destruction.
Christopher Boyer先生2015年11月15日1圣经中预言毁灭的一段话在今天看来似乎有惊人的先见之明。周五晚上，巴黎发生恐怖袭击，造成超过125人死亡，世界仍在震惊之中。几乎被忽视的还有发生在贝鲁特和巴格达的类似袭击，分别造成近50人和20人死亡，其中大多数是在一座清真寺的葬礼上。可悲的是，我们已经习惯了来自中东的暴力新闻，那里似乎自耶稣时代以来就一直有战争和战争的谣言。但生命的丧失也同样悲惨;悲伤，同样深刻。在世界各地，无辜的男人、女人和儿童正在为与他们只有些微关联的“伟大事业”而牺牲。现在，我们似乎比以往任何时候都更需要耶稣的同在。现在，我们似乎比以往任何时候都更需要哈拿的信心来提醒我们，哈拿的诗歌是赞美神的怜悯，这是我们今天早上敬拜的呼召。我们必须坚守上帝的承诺:上帝将保护弱者，将穷人从毁灭的尘埃中拯救出来。
