腓立比書二章1-5節
神的小僕人
經文:
1 所以在基督裡若有甚麼勸勉,愛心有甚麼安慰,聖靈有甚麼交通,心中有甚麼慈悲憐憫,
2 你們就要意念相同,愛心相同,有一樣的心思,有一樣的意念,使我的喜樂可以滿足。
3 凡事不可結黨,不可貪圖虛浮的榮耀,只要存心謙卑,各人看別人比自己強。
4 各人不要單顧自己的事,也要顧別人的事。
5 你們當以基督耶穌的心為心。
人與人的相交總會有磨擦,也有不同的意見,但聖經卻告訴我們要學習同心,那麼什麼是同心呢?腓立比書記載了一段基督徒在群體中學習彼此相愛、彼此體恤、彼此包容的實際教導,簡單的說就是先要有順服基督的心,以基督耶穌的心為心,即以基督耶穌所思想的為我們所思想的。
順服是現代人最抗拒的文化,順服就像承認自己比別人軟弱,好像輸了給別人一樣,但聖經的教訓卻完全不一樣。神願意我們順服祂,是因着祂的愛,我們順服神是對神的愛的回應。順服神帶來聽從,但這是以整本聖經中神的話作基礎的。
不結黨,不貪圖虛浮的榮耀,存心謙卑,各人看别人比自己強,且去關愛別人,這些都是順服基督、以基督的心為心而有的美德。求主憐憫幫助我們。
Philippians 2:1-5
There are always conflicts among people for we have different views and priority. How can we cultivate Christian unity and oneness? The Bible tells us that the only way is to learn to love and embrace one another as we follow the mindset of Christ.
Following His mindset is obedience, a word that we all dislike in a way. We feel as if we have to compromise or we are losers if we have to give in. Yet we know our obedience to God is our response to the love of God which compels and inspires us to follow Him. It brings along blessings.
Get rid of selfish ambition and vain deceit, learn to be humble, they are Christian virtues of obedience to Christ.
