About this item

本書用了12章的篇幅,詮釋了福音書所記載耶穌與12種人物的互動,顯出祂關愛人的心。我們在當中看到長大痲瘋的病人,因著染上疾病,而遭受到遺棄、隔絕與孤立,喪失自我價值感,然而當他帶著信心走向耶穌時,卻因著耶穌的憐憫,得著身體和心靈的醫治。痲瘋病人像征著在社會上被遺棄、深受傷害,對前景毫無盼望的人,而耶穌則是像征憐憫、愛、希望、醫治和饒恕。

透過作者活潑生動的文筆,我們看見耶穌不僅是醫治人身體病痛的主,祂更是看重每個人心裡最深的需要;祂來是要使人內心的需要得到滿足。邀請你一起從12個耶穌關懷內心受傷者的故事中,更多看見祂愛人的心,進而學像耶穌,成為關懷、同理、給予愛和安慰的人。

"And a leper came to Jesus . . ." (Mark 1:40).

The man was desperate. Leprosy had ravaged his body, and isolation had destroyed his self-worth. The one thing he had was a measure of faith that Jesus could make him clean. Surrounding people gave the leper plenty of space as he inched his way to the Healer, and Jesus had compassion on the man—healing his body and spirit with a touch and a few words.

The leper was just one of society’s outcasts, deeply hurting people that Jesus loved through His actions. The Gospels give us story after story of Jesus’s dealings with people whose needs were so great their outlook seemed hopeless. But Christ offered them hope and healing, and forgiveness for their wounded souls.

Each of the twelve chapters in this book features a Bible story in which Jesus reached out in compassion and offered exactly what an individual needed: caring, acceptance, understanding, love. Seeing the Heart of Christ provides a rich view of our Savior’s kindness, and our great need for Him. In response to His example of compassion and mercy, you can’t help but be motivated to love and care for others.
