腓立比書三章4-14 節
神的小僕人
經文:
4 其實我也可以靠肉體,若是別人想他可以靠肉體,我更可以靠著了。
5 我第八天受割禮,我是以色列族,便雅憫支派的人,
6 就熱心說:我是逼迫教會的,就律法上的義說:我是無可指摘的。
7 只是我先前以為於我有益的,我現在因基督都當作有損的。
8 不但如此,我也將萬事當作有損的,
9 並且得以在他裡面,不是有自己因律法而得的義,
10 使我認識基督,曉得他復活的大能,並且曉得和他一同受苦,
11 或者我也得以從死裡復活。
12 這不是說:我已經得著了,已經完全了,我乃是竭力追求,
13 弟兄們,我不是以為自己已經得著了,我只有一件事,
14 向著標竿直跑,要得神在基督耶穌裡從上面召我來得的獎賞。
.
這是一段保羅的自白,他告訴我們他有很好的家庭和教育背景,
今天我們會因着世上的價值觀,看重世界所看重的東西,
禱告:
天父,求聖靈光照我們,讓我們明白自己最看重什麼,
Philippians 3:4-14
This is a passage of Paul’s self disclosure. Despite of his great family and education background, Paul no longer boasted about them. Knowing Jesus he came to take the worldly fame and gains relatively unimportant.
We live in the world that tells us otherwise. We feel that all earthly purposes and gains are important despite they will all go away. We forget about God’s good purposes and His will in our lives. Paul loves God and people and they are his prime goals in life, a perfect example for us.
What do we care most today? Remember all earthly gains are transient and don’t focus only on them.
