切勿因猶達斯而離開耶穌
譯者:吳純瑜
如果有人在教會裡傷害了你……
不要因為猶達斯而遠離了耶穌。
人或許會辜負你，
但基督絕不會。
即使在十二門徒之中，也有背叛。
依斯加略人猶達斯曾與耶穌基督同行——
聽過祂的聲音，
見過祂的神蹟，
參與過祂的使命——
卻仍選擇背叛祂。
猶達斯的存在並未使耶穌成為虛假。
也未使祂的使命失真。
更不會改變今日的真理。
教會是由人組成的。
軟弱。
不完美。
可能會犯錯。
從起初開始，即使在門徒之中，也有人犯罪。
然而——
基督的真理並不取決於他們的完美。
至今仍是如此。
基督宗教從來不是建立在完美無瑕的人之上的。
教會是以基督為根基。
天主教會充滿了人。
會犯錯的人。
會跌倒的人。
有時會傷害他人的平凡世人。
而有時，那些傷口會深深刺痛。
但基督徒的失敗
並不意味著基督失敗了。
一位教會成員的罪過
並不會使教會變得虛假。
因為基督宗教從來不是建立在人的完美之上——
它是建立在基督之上的。
若你因猶達斯而離開……
你也同時離開了悔改的聖伯多祿宗徒。
你離開了堅守的聖若望宗徒。
你離開了十字架——那偉大的聖愛，之所以得到證明的所在。
不僅如此——
你更背離了那位從未背叛過你的天主。
人或許會讓你失望。
領袖或許會令你失望。
群體或許會傷害你。
但耶穌基督的愛始終不渝。
祂依然信實。
依然同在。
依然呼喚著你。
所以，若你正承受著受傷害的痛苦……
請留下！
不是因為人很完美——
而是因為耶穌是完美的神。
不要讓猶達斯
將你與耶穌隔開。
因為即使在破碎的教會中——
基督依然在那裡。
等待著。
信實。
不變。
所以當有人傷害你……
當有人令你失望……
當教會中有人辜負你……
不要將他們的軟弱
與祂的真理混為一談。
人或許會跌倒。
但基督依然信實。
切勿因猶達斯而離開耶穌。
If someone at church hurts you…
Don’t walk away from Jesus because of Judas.
People may fail you,
but Christ never will.
Even among the Twelve, there was betrayal.
Judas Iscariot walked with Jesus Christ —
heard His voice,
saw His miracles,
shared in His mission —
and still chose to betray Him.
The presence of Judas did not make Jesus false.
It did not make His mission untrue.
And it does not change the truth today.
The Church is made up of human beings.
Weak.
Imperfect.
Capable of failure.
From the very beginning, even among the apostles, there was sin.
And yet —
the truth of Christ did not depend on their perfection.
It still doesn’t.
Christianity was never founded on flawless people.
It was founded on Christ.
The Catholic Church is filled with human beings.
People who fail.
People who fall.
People who sometimes hurt others.
And sometimes, those wounds cut deep.
But the failure of a Christian
does not mean Christ has failed.
The sin of a member
does not make the Church false.
Because Christianity was never built on human perfection—
It was built on Christ.
If you leave because of Judas…
you also leave Peter, who repented.
You leave John, who stayed.
You leave the Cross—where love proved itself.
More than that—
you walk away from the One who never betrayed you.
People may fail you.
Leaders may disappoint you.
Communities may wound you.
But Jesus Christ does not change.
He is still faithful.
Still present.
Still calling.
So if you are hurting…
Stay.
Not because people are perfect—
but because Jesus is.
Do not let Judas
separate you from Jesus.
Because even in a broken Church—
Christ is still there.
Waiting.
Faithful.
Unchanging.
So when someone hurts you…
when someone disappoints you…
when someone within the Church fails you…
Do not confuse their weakness
with His truth.
People may fall.
But Christ remains faithful.
Do not leave Jesus because of Judas.
