帖撒羅尼迦前書二章9-13節
神的小僕人
經文:
9 弟兄們,你們記念我們的辛苦勞碌,晝夜做工,傳神的福音給你們,
10 我們向你們信主的人,是何等聖潔、公義、無可指摘,
11 你們也曉得,我們怎樣勸勉你們,安慰你們,囑咐你們各人,
12 要叫你們行事對得起那召你們進他國、得他榮耀的神。
13 為此,我們也不住地感謝神,因你們聽見我們所傳神的道就領受了;
保羅牧養他的群羊,就好像父親愛他的孩子一樣,
保羅的牧養是安慰、鼓勵,並像父母親一樣。
禱告:
親愛的主耶穌,願我們的信仰群體充滿神的愛與真理,
1 Thessalonians 2:9-13
Paul poured out his heart to pastor his brothers and sisters. He described himself shepherding them like a father. He brought them to Christ, taught them the righteous way and he himself did not gain anything or aim to profit himself. This is what Paul could boast.
Paul taught, comforted and commanded his Christian community like loving parents. Reflecting on ourselves, we are pastoring our brothers and sisters in Truth and righteous way, or are we just socialising, making gains for our own good ? May the Lord forgive us and help us.
May our Christian community be full of love and the words of God, bring everyone to Christ and His way.
