羅馬書九章1-3節
神的小僕人
 
經文:
1 我在基督裡說真話,並不謊言,有我良心被聖靈感動,給我作見證。
2 我是大有憂愁,心裡時常傷痛。
3 為我弟兄,我骨肉之親,就是自己被咒詛,與基督分離,我也願意。
 
保羅身為猶太人,對於他的同胞抗拒基督的拯救感到十分痛心,這是民族之情,愛弟兄之情,也是對失喪靈魂的傷痛之情。
 
現代人最大的問題就是缺乏這種情懷,好像什麼事都「事不關己,己不勞心」,我們對別人的傷痛或許有些微的同情,但卻缺乏那種深切關顧別人的情懷。
 
保羅愛他的民族同胞、愛他的弟兄姊妹,愛失喪的靈魂,而我承認我缺乏這種深切的愛,求主憐憫、改變。
 
Romans 9:1-3
 
Paul was deeply saddened by the Jews who rejected the gospel and the salvation of Christ.  He was passionate about the Jewish community, he was loving towards his fellow members, as he cared about the lost souls.
 
In this modern world people don’t care about the others.  We care about our own business.  At most we show our concern over those who suffer around us but we lack the passion and desperation for the broken and the lost.
 
Paul loved his people, he loved his brothers and sisters, and he cared for the lost souls.  How about us?
