約翰福音一章29-37節
神的小僕人
經文:
29 次日,約翰看見耶穌來到他那裡,就說:看哪,
30 這就是我曾說:有一位在我以後來,反成了在我以前的,
31 我先前不認識他,如今我來用水施洗,
32 約翰又作見證說:我曾看見聖靈彷彿鴿子,從天降下,
33 我先前不認識他,只是那差我來用水施洗的,對我說:
34 我看見了,就證明這是神的兒子。
35 再次日,約翰同兩個門徒站在那裡。
36 他見耶穌行走,就說:看哪,這是神的羔羊。
37 兩個門徒聽見他的話,就跟從了耶穌。
經文記述施洗約翰對自己的使命及對主耶穌身份的確認。 今天許多人都想當主角,卻忘記了真正的主角是誰,在教會服事的我們, 禱告:
天父,讓我們的生命是見證主,不是為自己,
John 1:29-36 The passage narrates how John the Baptist confirmed his roles and witnessed Jesus. He knew his mission was to baptise people with water, calling them to repentance and preparing them for the gospel. Only Jesus is the Lord, the sacrifice Lamb and the hope of the world. John the Baptist knew his position and was willingly pointing people to Jesus. Many of us perhaps are still serving and ministering hoping to become the centre of ministry. We may have mistakenly forgot who should be our focus. It is Jesus whom we should witness and refer people to. John did so and his two disciples followed Jesus. What an example of true humility and servanthood. Don’t pursue to be the centre, but be true witnesses of Christ who is our only hope of life. |
