「他說，千万不可！我和你，并你那些為耶穌做見證的弟兄，同是作仆人的，你要敬拜神。」（啟   19:10 新國際版）

這到底是什么一回事呢？難道約翰失去了他的理智，以致要去敬拜一位天使嗎？是的，他可能失去了理智，然而這确是因他的心實實在在太受感動和太被吸引了！有些人的頭腦很清醒，他們從不做愚蠢的事，約翰卻不屬于這類的人，因他一連兩次的重复這個錯誤（啟28:8）。其實，約翰是一個好心腸的人，而好心腸的人常會變糊涂而做愚蠢的事。當時約翰的心受了「由神那里，從天而降」那榮耀教會的奇觀所吸引而陶醉了。他看見了在November 23

"But he said to me, "Do not do it! I am a fellow servant with you and with your brethren who hold to the witness of Jesus.  Worship God! ......" (Revelation 19:10 NIV)

What is this all about? Did John lose his mind and wanted to worship an angel? Yes, he may have lost his mind, but this is indeed because his heart is really too moved and touched!  Some people are clear-minded and never do stupid things, but John did not fall into this category, because he repeated this mistake twice in a row (Revelation 28:8). In fact, John is a kind-hearted person, and kind-hearted people often become confused and do stupid things. At that time, John's heart was attracted and intoxicated by the wonder of the glorious church "coming down from God out of heaven." He saw that in his suffering and endurance, he actually participated in this greatest spiritual masterpiece of all time with his heavenly co-workers. What an exciting and amazing thing it was for him! Although his actions (worshiping the angels) were undoubtedly wrong, they came from the right attitude in his heart. And this correct attitude is something that each of us should imitate.
