A Brief Reflection on Death and Judgment 关于死与审判的简单默想
No one in this world can escape death. The issue, however, is that many people do not know or do not believe that there is a realm of judgment after death. As a result, they live carelessly, thinking it does not matter how they sin or how they live.
If a person truly believed that there is an eternal judgment after death and a righteous Judge, would they still live so casually? If there is no absolute and eternal Being, no One who is perfectly just, then what is the meaning of our lives in this world? Since all must face death and everything will pass away, if there is no righteous Judge and no absolute standard, what difference is there between doing good and doing evil?
In fact, it would be impossible to define good or evil, because each person may have a different standard or definition. Everyone lives with themselves as the standard and the center, regarding anything different from themselves as wrong, and treating themselves as the ultimate authority. This, in essence, is a profound expression of the sinful nature within humanity.
在这个世界上没有人可以避开死亡，但问题是很多人不知道或者不相信死后有审判的世界，因此会随意的生活，觉得随便犯罪随便生活也没有关系。
如果一个人真的相信死后有永恒的审判的世界，有公义的审判者，那他的生活还会随便吗？如果没有绝对永恒的一位没有绝对公义的一位，那我们在这世上的生活到底有什么意义呢？因为都要面对死亡，一切都会消失，如果没有公义的审判者，没有绝对的标准，那行恶行善有什么区别呢？
事实上，那也没办法定义善或者恶，因为每个人对善与恶的定义或者标准可能都有些不一样，每个人都以自己为标准，以自己为中心生活，凡跟自己不一样的就认为是错的，把自己当作权威与标准，其实这就是人里面很深的罪的样子。
