讀經分享以弗所書四章1-6節(Ephesians 4:1-6 )

以弗所書四章1-6節                       神的小僕人
 
經文:
1 我為主被囚的勸你們,既然蒙召,行事為人就當與蒙召的恩相稱。
2 凡事謙虛,溫柔,忍耐,用愛心互相寬容,
3 用和平彼此聯絡,竭力保守聖靈所賜合而為一的心。
4 身體只有一個,聖靈只有一個,正如你們蒙召,同有一個指望,
5 一主,一信,一洗,
6 一神,就是眾人的父,超乎眾人之上,貫乎眾人之中,也住在眾人之內。
 
基督徒常常說合一,合一是什麼意思呢?是完全意見一致?是排除異己?以弗所書給我們很好的教導,合一是每個基督徒學習在主裏成長的過程,當中要學習忍耐、包容、彼此接納、互相寬恕,更重要的是以基督耶穌的使命為我們的中心點,而不是為自己的目標、名聲和好處。
 
這些說來容易,行出來卻十分困難,故此我們需要和弟兄姊妹同工,彼此提醒,互相學習,在自己的家或屬靈的家裏面成長。
 
Ephesians 4:1-6
 
What exactly is unity?  Is it only one voice and no differences?  Is it eradicating all the differences?  Ephesians told us unity is a maturity process of individual Christians who learn to live with one another in patience, acceptance, and forgiveness.  The only way is we all focus in the mission of Christ and not on our own purposes, fame or gain.
 
It is easy said than done.  Yet this spiritual lesson is essential in the Christian community where we learn to mature and humbling serving one another. May we all serve in our own family and the church community, thinking less of our own gain and blessing more one another.
