《勇氣之名》Courageous
踏入父親節的月份,再次翻看那齣福音的電影,倍加感受。《勇氣之名》故事雖然簡單,但語重情深的演譯。描述五位父親各有遭遇,一同經歷 神的帶領。
南森
開幕的一場心驚追逐,使觀眾誤以為他不想放棄自己的車被偷走,而奮不顧身的追捕,原來是小兒子在車廂內被驚嚇。導演一開始便交代父親為愛兒女,不惜一切,隨時可以為他們作出無私的犧牲。
初熟的女兒,在父親的蔭庇下,以朋友式的指引,幸好沒有與壞分子約會,妻子以他為榮,家庭融和,與 神同在同行,榮耀上帝的無範父親。
哈比
生活雖然艱難,但一家人卻活得自在,滿有信心和盼望的信仰領受。因為一次要造假才有晉升的機會,與太太的反覆矛盾爭扎,最終能有勇氣地向上司提出不當的行為,繼而推卻了升職的前途,勝過試探,是位可貴正直、為主作見證的父親。
大衞
以往因自私而放棄了女友,她未結婚而育有四歳的女兒,因著一次亞當堅定承諾的提案,反思過往做錯的事,主動聯絡上前女友,並誠意提出復合的要求,後悔以往的自私與迷失,在禱告中求主赦免,有承擔責任的父親。
宣
他與亞當為最好的朋友,因一次的貪念而告發受刑,被受撒旦的試探矇蔽。在聖經中所形容為家庭重要的角色及榜樣,全部被自己一手摧毀,行為上的負資產,但 神藉此折毀,再重新建造,能面對自己的軟弱,承擔自己的罪惡,成為有勇氣的父親。
亞當
因工作而忽略了家庭,偏愛細女的他,與兒子沒有關心。一次交通意外奪去寶貝女兒的性命,使他痛不欲生,並質問 神為何如此的憤怒反應。 神的醫治,使他因此而反思以往,沒有珍惜過家人,藉此與兒子修補了關係,在苦難中得著釋放,在基督裏重身得力的父親。
亞當提出在父親節主日崇拜上,宣告堅定的承諾,無論在家庭的責任上、在兒女的教導上、在自我的管促上,向眾人、向主承諾,要緊守成為有勇氣承擔軟弱的父親。
以下是父親送給父親節的禮物,節錄內容:
電影《勇氣之名》,最後一段的演講。
"I Will" speech from the movie Courageous
宣告講詞:「如今我相信, 神對每位父親期盼他們勇敢站出來,不計一切代價,融入他們孩子的人生之中,但不只是供他們温飽、守護他們,他必需親自陪伴他們走過人生,呈現 神的特質。
他們的天父,當父親應該要愛他的孩子,並且努力贏得他們的心,他應該保護他們、鍛鍊他們,教他們關於 神的事蹟。他該以身作則,抬頭挺胸做人,並且尊重他人,要他的孩子們成為有責任心的人,為了永生中真正重要的事而活。
有些人聽了會想笑,或是選擇忽略,但身為一位父親,你對 神有責任,因為祂賦予你這樣具有影響力的位置。你不能在途中睡著,否則有一天你醒來會發現你的工作或是你的嗜好,並沒有永恆的價值,但是孩子們的靈魂是有的,有些人聽了會贊同,但沒有堅定承諾,所以他們只能為自己而活,白白浪費可以為下一代流下黃金傳奇的機會。
但有些人,不管過去犯下多少錯誤,不管我們的父親有多忽視,會將雙手的力量與餘下的日子獻給深愛我們的 神,並且教導我們的孩子做出相同的事。
只要有可能,關愛並指引那些生命中沒有父親的人,迫切需要幫助與方向的人。我們邀請任何有這個意願有這個勇氣的人,加入我們的堅定承諾。
在我家中,已經做出決定,你不用問誰來引導我的家庭,因為 神的恩澤,是我!
你無需問是誰會教導我的兒子跟隨基督,因為是我!
誰將接受提供温飽並保護家庭的責任?是我!
誰將求 神粉碎過去我的家庭中具有毀滅性的陋習枷鎖,是我!
誰將為我的孩子祈禱祈福,並且大膽回應 神的召喚?我是他們的父親,是我!
我接受這份責任,這是我的殊榮才能擁抱這一切。我要 神的恩典與祝福籠罩我家,任何一位好人都會想要,所以你在哪????,勇士?你在哪?????恐懼 神的父親?該是時候起身回應 神的召喚,然後說是我!」
I will?或是 I will!這在乎是否與主同行同在。
我靠著那加給我能力的,凡事都能作。(腓立比書4:13)
勇氣是父親的形象,作為父親,
有勇氣地回應 神的呼召,站立畢廷地向家庭、
向眾人、向 神宣告 I will! I will! I will!
父親送給父親節的禮物!
