哥林多前書16章15-18節
神的小僕人

經文:
15 弟兄們，你們曉得司提反一家，是亞該亞初結的果子，並且他們專以服事聖徒為念。
16 我勸你們順服這樣的人，並一切同工同勞的人。
17 司提反和福徒拿都，並亞該古到這裡來，我很喜歡；因為你們待我有不及之處，他們補上了。
18 他們叫我和你們心裡都快活。這樣的人，你們務要敬重。

保羅在哥林多前書最後寫下了幾句感謝的話，記下了幾個名不經傳的人的名字。他們不是什麼著名的傳道人，也不是什麼神學家，乃是真真實實，專心去服事別人的人。

根據保羅的說法，這些人應該倍受敬重，因為他們專心服事聖徒，使別人的心裏暢快和安慰。今天在教會裏，也有許多默默工作的弟兄姊妹，他們謙卑地服事神和人，並不為自己的名聲，也不求報答。

我們要向不出名的事奉者司提反，福徒拿都、亞該古致敬！但願我們也做神小小的僕人。

1 Corinthians 16:15-18

At the end of the book of 1 Corinthians, Paul wrote down a few names that he was thankful to but we didn’t know about them. They were not great preacher or famous theologians. They were faithful servants aiming to serve the people of the Lord without getting reward.

According to Paul, they deserved more respect, for what they have refreshed many other people in spirit and in soul. There are many anonymous workers in the church working humbly to serve the Lord today and we should be thankful.

May we be the humble faithful servant God desires, but not the ones who only offer lips service.
