当我们向天父祈求饮食，是为我们生活的需要带到上帝的宝
座面前。但我们也不能忽视心灵的需要，我们需要天父的赦
免，好使我们的心灵得着释放。但我们若要得着完全的释
放，也需要同时学习赦免别人。试想想一个终日惦记着别人
对自己亏欠的人，心灵能得到自由释放吗？他会快乐吗？

We/Our/Us
Before we dwell into the second plea, let me reiterate
the implication of “we/our/us” in the Lord’s Prayer. We
not only plead for forgiveness for ourselves, but also
for others. Let’s not forget that we bear dual identity:
that of a debtor (to God and to people) and a creditor
(to those who owe us). Wouldn’t it strange if we only
pray that “we” are forgiven but are reluctant to forgive
others? Can such prayers be sincere? To put it plainly,
our prayers will not be sincere if we hold grudges
against others when we plead for God’s forgiveness.
We are not forgiven not because we are reluctant to
forgive others, but because our prayers are not
sincere. Do you think our Heavenly Father will listen to
insincere prayers?

我们“
”
在探讨第二求的时候，让我再一次强调《主祷文》中 “我
们” 的含意。我们不单是为自己求赦免，也为别人求赦
免。别忘了，我们同时有着双重的身份：欠债者 (对神和
对人) 和债主 (向亏欠我们的人)。正因如此，如果我们只
盼望 “我们” 被赦免而却不愿意赦免别人，不是很奇怪的
事吗？这样的祷告能算得上真诚吗？退一步说，我在为
神面前求自己赦免，而同时对别人怀恨，不愿意赦免，
这也不会是真诚的祷告。我们不蒙天父赦免，不是因为
我们不愿意赦免别人，而是我们的祷告不真诚。你认为
天父会垂听不真诚的祷告吗？

Conclusion
Forgiving “us our” debts imply bearing with each other. Moses interceded for the
people who worshiped the golden calf and rejected God’s promise of raising Moses’
descendants to be the chosen people to replace Israel (Ex 32:7-14). Daniel prayed for
the people to confess their sins to God when they returned from exile. He used
“we/our/us” throughout the entire prayer (Da 9:4-6). Nehemiah also used “we/our/us”
in his prayer when he interceded for peace for the people of Jerusalem (Ne 1:5-7).

Moses did not worship the golden calf; neither did Daniel nor Nehemiah turned away
from the Mosaic Law. Yet they did not stand on the moral high ground and denounce
the people for their wrongdoings. Instead, they identified with the sinful people and
pleaded for God’s forgiveness. This is also what our Lord Jesus did, and He expects us
to do the same. If we imitate Jesus and practise forgiveness, the church will have a lot
less finger pointing and more hands raise in prayer instead! That is why Paul said, “I
desire then that in every place that men should pray, lifting holy hands without anger
or quarrelling.” (1Ti 2:8)

总结
免 “我们” 的债，也表示我们彼此的认同。摩西为拜金牛犊的百姓代求， 拒绝了神应许以
他的后裔代替以色列成为神的选民 (出32:7-14)。但以理为百姓祷告得以从被掳回归时向
神认罪。整篇祷文都是以 “我们” 自称 (但9:4-6)。尼希米为耶路撒冷居民的平安代求时，
祷告也是使用 “我们”(尼1:5-7)。
摩西没有拜金牛犊、但以理和尼希米没有违背摩西的律法。但他们都没有站在道德的高
地指责百姓，而是与犯罪的百姓认同，为他们向神代求。这正是主耶稣所作的，也是主
耶稣祈望我们去做的。当我们如此行时，教会将少了很多互相指责的指头，同时多了无
数双向上高举祷告的手！保罗说： “我愿男人无忿怒，无争论，举起圣洁的手，随处祷告
(提前2:8) ” 正是这意思。
