一位死囚的遗言。。。 Last words of a death row convict…

几个星期前看了一份报导,中国一位高官涉黑涉贪被判死刑。。。
被处决前,他对儿子说:“爸爸有罪,不能埋怨社会,要听话,要好好做人。”

儿子获准得以与父亲拥抱一下,他说那是他长得这么大,爸爸抱他最用力的一次。。。

读得很心酸,人类再怎么样都有爱和感情。。。

我觉得这父亲留给孩子的是很好的遗言,他承认自己有罪,不让孩子带着怨恨、苦毒活在世上;他也间接告诉孩子不可像他犯错一样。
再怎么样,他也算是一个很爱孩子的好父亲。

能认罪是勇气,最怕那些有罪不认还嫁祸与人的人,或者虽然认罪却又怪别人的人;可悲的是也有一些人连自己错了都还不醒悟。。。

“我们若认自己的罪,神是信实的,是公义的,必要赦免我们的罪,洗净我们一切的不义。。。” -约翰一书 1:9

Few weeks ago I read an article on a top official in China being sentenced to death for his involvement in crimes and corruption…
Before his sentence was being carried out, he said to his son,” Daddy has committed a crime, do not blame the society. Be obedient and be a good person.”

The son was allowed to give his father a final hug, he said in all his life, that was the tightest hug his father had ever given him…

I felt sad when reading this, no matter what, human beings do have emotions and love…

I feel that the father had left behind very good last words for his son, he admitted his wrong so that the son will not live on with hatred and bitterness; and he also indirectly told the son not to follow his bad example. So no matter what, he was still a good father who loved his son a lot.

It takes courage to admit your wrong, the scariest is people who will not admit wrong and yet put the blame on others, or those who do admit wrong but still blame others for it; sadly there are also those who are wrong and yet not feeling remorseful…

“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness…” -1John 1:9
