彼得前書三章13-18節
神的小僕人
經文:
13 你們若是熱心行善,有誰害你們呢?
14 你們就是為義受苦,也是有福的,不要怕人的威嚇,也不要驚慌,〔
15 只要心裡尊主基督為聖,有人問你們心中盼望的緣由,
16 存著無虧的良心,叫你們在何事上被毀謗,就在何事上,
17 神的旨意若是叫你們因行善受苦,總強如因行惡受苦。
18 因基督也曾一次為罪受苦,〔受苦有古卷作受死〕
許多人面對的問題和困難可能是自己製造出來的,
耶穌基督的受死復活是世上最大的好消息,既是已發生的歷史事件,
因着恩典,我們應該學習忍受不同的困擾,只要是在神的旨意之中,
禱告:
天父,幫助我們致力靠神行善,不要懼怕,
1 Peter 3:12-18
There are times we create problems for ourselves and we suffer. Yet there are times we suffer for doing good. We should feel proud if we are doing so. Jesus did the same more than two thousands years ago. He died for us, bringing the unrighteousness to the grace of God.
For the grace we receive, we put up with different circumstances and attack. If we are doing good, we do not have to be afraid. It is better, if it is the will of God, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.
Doing good in the will of God, even if we suffer, it is a blessing.
