歌羅西書四章2-6節
神的小僕人
經文:
2 你們要恆切禱告,在此警醒感恩。
3 也要為我們禱告,求神給我們開傳道的門,能以講基督的奧秘,(我為此被捆鎖)
4 叫我按著所該說的話,將這奧秘發明出來。
5 你們要愛惜光陰,用智慧與外人交往。
6 你們的言語要常常帶著和氣,好像用鹽調和,就可知道該怎樣回答各人。
保羅鼓勵歌羅西教會的弟兄姊妹,要全心全意的在禱告和傳福音上抓緊每個機會。他提醒我們要隨時準備,以恩典和智慧去回答未信的人的問題,把握機會傳福音。
困難的時候是我們學習堅持的契機,生活不容易、紛亂不安的時候是我們轉向神,領受祂所賜屬天的平安的時候。願我們靠主剛強,在這世代成為祂的見證。
Colossians 4:2-6
Paul exhorted the Colossians to be watchful and prayerful. He was saying that we need to take every opportunity to preach the gospel, with wisdom and grace. We are to prepared to answer the questions of unbelievers, not by arguing but by the opportunity given to us.
When life is tough it is an opportunity to learn to persevere. When situation is unrest, it is time for Godly peace. As someone says, tough time will not last but tough people will. Let’s be strong for the Lord.
