Jak 4,1-10Jak 4,1-10
English: World English Bible - WEB
4 ¹ Where do wars and fightings among you come from? Don’t they come from your pleasures that war in your members? ² You lust, and don’t have. You kill, covet, and can’t obtain. You fight and make war. You don’t have, because you don’t ask. ³ You ask, and don’t receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it for your pleasures. ⁴ You adulterers and adulteresses, don’t you know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. ⁵ Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, “The Spirit who lives in us yearns jealously”? ⁶ But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” ⁷ Be subject therefore to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you. ⁸ Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. ⁹ Lament, mourn, and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to gloom. ¹⁰ Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he will exalt you.

Phil Bosmans pripoveduje o svojem prijatelju:

“Mogel bi natančno povedati dan, uro in cesto, kjer ga je nepričakovano presenetil Bog. Obdalo ga je nepopisno veselje. Ustavil se je na cesti kakor prikovan. Vse njegovo bitje je kričalo:” Bog biva!”

Starši, prepričani marksisti, so ga učili, da je Bog opij. Z dolgimi pismi je nekoč prepričeval svojo zaročenko, da ni Boga. Zdaj je tu, na cesti velemesta, povezan z Bogom. Cele tedne ni mogel ničesar povedati svoji ženi. Nekega večera pa ni mogel več vzdržati. V polmraku je rekel:

“Ani, verujem. Bog biva!”

Pričakoval je nasprotovanje, prepir, probleme, toda žena ga je le s solznimi očmi v tišini objela. Nato je priznala: “Že nekaj časa hodim skrivaj v cerkev. O tem sem molčala, da bi te ne prizadela.”

Naslednjo nedeljo sta šla v cerkev oba. Slišala sta besede: “Živite kot otroci luči!

Luč, ki sveti v temi, je Jezus Kristus in po njem troedini Bog. Med lučjo in temo ni sprave. Bog nad človekom ne dela nasilja, zato mu pusti svobodno voljo. Človek sam se mora z Božjo pomočjo odpovedati in se vedno znova odpovedovati temi, če hoče, da ga bo presvetlila Božja Luč in v njem tudi ostala.

Bog ima mnogo načinov, da posveti v našo temo. Predvsem je potrebna vera v Jezusa, ki je luč. “Dokler imate luč, verujte v luč, da postanete sinovi luči”.

Jn 12,36Jn 12,36

Znamenje, da svojo vero jemljemo resno, da torej živimo v svetlobi, je naša ljubezen do bližnjega: “Kdor pravi, da je v luči, pa svojega brata sovraži, je še zdaj v temi. Kdor svojega brata ljubi, ostaja v luči in v njem ni pohujšanja. Kdor pa svojega brata sovraži, je v temi in hodi v temi in ne ve, kam gre, ker mu je tema zaslepila oči.”

9 He who says he is in the light and hates his brother, is in the darkness even until now. ¹⁰ He who loves his brother remains in the light, and there is no occasion for stumbling in him. ¹¹ But he who hates his brother is in the darkness, and walks in the darkness, and doesn’t know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

Bog je ljubezen, zato mu je najbolj zoprno sovraštvo. Bog je luč, zato je največji nasprotnik kakršnekoli teme. Zaradi tega zmaguje ljubezen nad sovraštvom, luč nad temo.
