Why We Have Value 我们的价值

Why We Have Value

In a commencement address to a graduating class at Miami University, columnist George Will gave some statistics that help to diminish our sense of self-importance. He pointed out that “the sun around which Earth orbits is one of perhaps 400 billion stars in the Milky Way, which is a piddling galaxy next door to nothing much.” He added, “There are perhaps 40 billion galaxies in the still-unfolding universe. If all the stars in the universe were only the size of the head of a pin, they still would fill Miami’s Orange Bowl to overflowing more than 3 billion times.”There is a plus side to all that overwhelming data. The God who created and sustains our star-studded cosmos in its incomprehensible vastness loves us. And He doesn’t just love the human race as an entity of multiplied billions. He loves us individually. What Paul exclaims to be true about himself is true about each of us in all our insignificance: Christ “loved me and gave Himself for me” (Gal. 2:20).Astronomically, we are insignificant. But we are the beloved objects of God’s care. While we have no reason for pride, we are inexpressibly grateful to the Lord whose love for us personally is revealed at Calvary’s cross.

我们的价值

专栏作家乔治•威尔在迈阿密大学的毕业典礼致词中，提到一些统计数据，有助于我们不过于自负。他说：「地球循轨道绕着运转的太阳，只是银河系四千亿恒星中 的一颗而已，而我们所在的银河系，和广大未知的宇宙中可能存在的四百亿个星系相比，实在是微不足道。如果所有的星球都像针头一般大，加起来也比迈阿密的球 场大三十亿倍。」 在这些惊人的数据之外，还有一点：上帝创造并托住繁星满天的宇宙，却用无法测度的大爱来爱我们。他爱我们人类，不是把人类当作一个几十亿的群体来 爱，而是爱我们每一个独特的个体。尽管我们微不足道，但我们也能和保罗一样宣告：「（基督）是爱我，为我舍己。」（加拉太书2章20节） 从天文学的角度来看，我们实在是渺小，但我们却是上帝眷顾关爱的对象。我们没有什么值得骄傲的理由，上帝借着各各他的十字架向我们每个人显明了他的爱，为此我们当向他存无尽的感恩。
