耶穌的象徵性行動 | 耶穌的洗腳

-



在若望福音第13章可以看到，耶穌洗腳的象徵性意義，就是謙卑和服務，並提醒了門徒們效法祂的謙卑和服務精神，那時候，耶穌知道自己的時間已經到了，祂要遵從天主父的旨意，耶穌就以自己的行動去告訴門徒，要彼此相愛、彼此扶持，耶穌洗腳的目的，象徵着他來到世界，就是服侍人類，並為人類的罪惡死在十字架上，祂向門徒表達了自己的愛和關懷。

《主教》職

  兩任教宗擁抱、互相問好的照片，這是很少機會見到的。      教宗方濟各於 2016 年 11 月 13 日，任命香港教區輔理主教楊鳴章神父，為香港教區助理主教。非天主教徒對於主教一職的認知，可能只限於是該地區的信仰主理人、管理者等等，但對於主教的意義和不同稱謂的主教，仍未有確實的了解；根據初期天主教教會的傳統，祝聖主教是代表授予聖職聖事的圓滿性。主教即是藉著聖神  (Holy Spirit)  被祝聖為教會中的牧人及管理者，也就是講解教義的導師及基督的司祭。主教一詞源自希臘文「 episkopos 」（ επίσκοπος ），即「 epi 」（由上往下）及「 skopos 」（觀察者），其意思是監督（ overseer ），主教一職不單單只是指天主教會對高級神職的稱號，打從第一世紀末至第二世紀初就形成了這個主教的制度。而東正教與聖公會均會採用，天主教會指耶穌基督派遣宗徒們繼續實行祂傳播福音的使命。 第 267 任教宗   Francis   方濟各  2013~      對天主教而言，教省通常聯合數個教區為一個教省，每一個教省由一位總主教所領導，而教區的定義就是地方教會機構，由教區主教所管轄，堂區則是每一個聖堂所屬的範圍，每個堂區都會有一位所屬的神職人員去管理；有些國家於其國內至少會有一個教省，而領土較大、天主教徒也有一定數量的國家，如美國、中國、法國等等，都會設有多個教省。也有部分教區不隸屬於任何教省，而是由教廷直接管轄。這就是天主教對於傳教牧民地域概念，主教的職務分配就是天主教會傳統聖統制的一部份。在公元 4 世紀，天主教成為羅馬帝國的國教，當時神職人員的地位與當地地方行政官員擁有政府認可的相等地位，所以教會便以羅馬帝國的「管區」（拉丁語： dioecesis ）為基礎，建立起與政治管轄區的行政區，並以主教做為最高首長，作傳教和牧養信眾的教會行政架構，及後西羅馬帝國滅亡後，這種教會行政區便保存了下來，成為教區制度延續至今。 第 266 任教宗   Benedict XVI   本篤十六世   2005~2013     1841 年，因當時駐港英軍...

God loves us very much! He loves us with a love that never ends. God loves us so much that He was willing to give His special and only Son, Jesus Christ, to save us and give us eternal life. Jesus Christ is God's special Son who came to the world to be our Savior. He is very important and powerful because He has a special place and authority from God. Believing in Jesus is very important. It is the key to having eternal life. Everyone who believes in Jesus Christ will have everlasting life and won't be lost. This means we need to trust in Jesus, accept Him as our Savior, and we will receive eternal life. The Bible also tells us that those who don't believe in Jesus are in trouble. It's not because God wants to punish them, but because they refuse to believe in God's special Son, Jesus. People who don't accept Jesus won't be able to experience God's salvation. To understand God's love for Himself, we can think of it like this: God loves us so much tha...

Pharisees and Jesus' views on sin / John 9 : 1~41

The views on sin between the Pharisees and Jesus have caused a lot of thought. It tells of a man born blind. Jesus heals him. As well as the healing, the story focuses on the views of the Pharisees and Jesus on sin. The Pharisees began to question the authority and legitimacy of Jesus when they saw the man healed. They were of the opinion that Jesus was a sinner because of his healing of the man on the Sabbath. But Jesus said to them, "This is so that the works of God may be seen in him" (John 9:3). (John 9:3) Jesus' response emphasised the authority and the will of God the Father, rather than the rules made by men. Their argument showed that their understanding of sin was based on the law and the rules, rather than on the faith and trust they had in God the Father. In this story Jesus, through the healing of the man's body, led them to reflect on their understanding of sin and to recognise the authority and mercy of God. In the conversation between the Pharisees and ...
