哥林多後書三章1-6 節
神的小僕人
經文:
1 我們豈是又舉薦自己嗎?
2 你們就是我們的薦信,寫在我們的心裏,被眾人所知道所念誦的。
3 你們明顯是基督的信,藉着我們修成的。不是用墨寫的,
4 我們因基督,所以在神面前才有這樣的信心。
5 並不是我們憑自己能承擔甚麼事;我們所能承擔的,乃是出於神。
6 他叫我們能承當這新約的執事,不是憑着字句,乃是憑着精意;
保羅從來不誇耀自己的事工,也沒有向人推薦自己,對他而言,
信徒心思意念改變,他們屬靈生命成長。
今天我們常太看重自己的成就和表現,在服事上也是如此,
這段經文讓我反思,自己是否看重生命的建造呢?
禱告:
親愛的耶穌,保羅有不一樣的眼光和價值觀,因著神的恩典,靠著聖靈去做生命建造的工作,我們也願如此。即使我們是無名之輩,都有永恆的價值。奉耶穌的名禱告,阿們。
2 Corinthians 3:1-6
Paul did not boast what he had done, and he did not need people to commend him. What he cared most was the building of people’s spiritual life. Paul loved the brothers and sisters of the Corinthians and his hope was to build up a spiritual life, not by words or deeds but by the change of heart.
As believers, we may care too much about our achievement and our performance, even in our ministry. We have them been absorbed by worldly value. Paul set an example of a godly perspective of ministry, as we do what God has commanded us to please God and to build people up in terms of their spiritual character.
