Hi, 各位聽眾朋友們，平安！歡迎收聽愛的凱歌(Adore Him)，我是Judy。
來到十二月的第三週，預備迎接「耶穌基督，永生神的愛子」的降生，今天要和大家分享的詩歌為〈天國在此〉(“Heaven Is Here”)。詩歌〈天國在此〉(“Heaven Is Here”)出自於The McClures在2020年發行的專輯Christmas Morning。The McClures是美國當代的敬拜二人組樂團；由Paul McClure和Hannah McClure這兩位音樂家組成。
聖經路加福音2:1-14記載耶穌基督降生在伯利恆的場景。這段經文敘述了，天使向著夜裡在曠野看守羊群的牧羊人顯現，告訴他們救主，就是主基督，降生在馬槽。忽然，有一大隊天兵同那天使讚美神說：「在至高之處榮耀歸與神！在地上平安歸與祂所喜悅的人！」（路加福音2:14）詩歌〈天國在此〉(“Heaven Is Here”)的第一節歌詞與副歌，就是引用這段經文，向我們敘述耶穌基督降生在伯利恆與天使向牧羊人顯現的場景。歌詞這麼說：
(Verse 1)
Long we have waited with expectation.
長久的等候 深切的期盼
Long we have prayed with anticipation.
長久的禱求 深切的期待
But suddenly, there is a light in the darkness;
但忽然有 一真光 出現在黑暗中
It’s shining in Bethlehem.
閃耀在伯利恆。
(Chorus)
This is the moment,
就在這時刻
This is the night.
在這夜晚
Sing, choir of angels,
眾天使齊唱，
Glory to God.
尊崇上帝
He’s peace on the Earth,
祂賜下平安
He’s joy to the world.
普世都歡騰
The Savior has come down
人類救主降生
And Heaven is here.
而天國在此。
「人類救主降生，而天國在此」 (“The Savior has come down, and heaven is here.”)我個人很喜歡這兩句詩歌歌詞。在聖誕節節期，往往人們可能想到的畫面是，嬰孩耶穌降生在伯利恆、降生在馬槽，我們的目光似乎也被牽引在「地上」的伯利恆、或者「地上」的馬槽。然而，詩歌〈天國在此〉(“Heaven Is Here”)第一節歌詞與副歌的描述，提醒與帶領我們聚焦於：耶穌—人類救主—的降生，帶給我們的是「天國的盼望」。我們定睛的不是在「地上」，而是在「天上」；我們所盼望、期待的不是「屬地的」，乃是「屬天的」。
延續這個核心信息，這首詩歌的第三節歌詞，如此描述：
Behold, the Redeemer,
看哪這救贖者
God of the Ages.
永長存的神
Behold, our Messiah,
且來看彌賽亞
Mighty to save us.
行大能拯救
Oh, everyone, see, there’s a light in the darkness; He’s shining in Bethlehem.
眾人必看見 黑暗中 有真光顯現照耀在伯利恆
這段歌詞更進一步地提醒我們，應當單單專注、定睛在我們的主耶穌身上，不看其他的人事物！也不被其他事情所迷惑！耶穌祂是彌賽亞；祂是永長存的神！
藉由今天和大家分享The McClures創作的詩歌〈天國在此〉(“Heaven Is Here”)，願我們常常「思念天上的事」(路加2:49)，並且效法耶穌基督，「應當在（天）父的家裡」，或者說，應當常常「以（天）父的事為念」 (路加2:49)。
節目資訊欄有詩歌〈天國在此〉(“Heaven Is Here”)中、英文歌詞的對照。現在，邀請您與我們團隊錄製這首詩歌的中文版，齊聲感謝與讚美賜下天國盼望的耶穌基督！我們下週見！
