歌羅西書三章12-17節 神的小僕人
經文:
12 所以你們既是神的選民,聖潔蒙愛的人,就要存〔原文作穿下同〕憐憫,恩慈,謙虛,溫柔,忍耐的心。
13 倘若這人與那人有嫌隙,總要彼此包容,彼此饒恕,主怎樣饒恕了你們,你們也要怎樣饒恕人。
14 在這一切之外,要存著愛心,愛心就是聯絡全德的。
15 又要叫基督的平安在你們心裡作主,你們也為此蒙召,歸為一體,且要存感謝的心。
16 當用各樣的智慧,把基督的道理豐豐富富的存在心裡(或作:當把基督的道理豐豐富富的存在心裡,以各樣的智慧),用詩章、頌詞、靈歌,彼此教導,互相勸戒,心被恩感,歌頌神。
17 無論作甚麼,或說話,或行事,都要奉主耶穌的名,藉著他感謝父神。
今天這個世界最缺乏的就是神的真理,從神來的愛與和平。有時人們就是愛或追求和平也只是去追求他們自己所想的,而不是去祝福别人。上帝知道我們的心,祂知道我們一切所做的。求主幫助我們持守上帝的真理,活出祂的愛。
Colossians 3:12-17
Paul taught us, as disciples of Christ to pursue peace. The cost of peace is huge, we need to let go of ourselves and learn to put up with each other, to forgive and to be humble. We have to rely on God and learn as part of our spiritual journey.
What the world lacks today is peace and love that comes from God. Sometimes people love only to pursue what they want instead of blessing others. We need to persevere and trust that God knows our heart and He will help us through.
