C5-Connections–the synonym for LOVE
Connections–the synonym for love Connections–the synonym for love CONNECTIONS—the synonym for LOVE Life is not a “deserted island“. Somehow the metaphorical “island” may exist in some people’s lives. Subconsciously, we would be leading our lives on such an “island“–though we … Continue reading

C3-Born Again/ 得救與重生
Born Again In reply to a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus (a member of the ruling council), Jesus declared, “I tell you the truth; no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again….” (John 3:3. NIV). When … Continue reading
C2-Seeing the Unseen–我們要怎樣才能看見那眼不能見的呢?
我們要怎樣才能看見那眼不能見的呢? 這個問題的答案可以在堅心依靠基督的門徒們心中找到。而找尋這一答案的過程,是每一個門徒在得見主面之前的必修課。 我們的主曾要求一個當官的人變賣所有來跟從他,但是那官員因為自己的財產很多,聞之色變。 耶穌見了,就說:”有錢財的人進神的國是何等的難哪!駱駝穿過針的眼比財主進神的國還容易呢!” 聽見的人說:”這樣,誰能得救呢?” 耶穌說:”在人所不能的事,在神卻能。” (路加福音18:18-27) 在這個故事裡,耶穌從屬靈的層面引導他的門徒,給了他們一張屬天國度的入場券。耶穌說他是 “道路、真理、生命”——也就是說,神的國度因著他的緣故已經向我們開啟。如果我們選擇與他同行,我們終將與所有堅心跟隨主的信徒一起得嘗勝利的果實。而我們在這個世界上的生命也會在這一過程當中,用一種世人看不見的方式披帶上從耶穌而來的喜樂。 大衛王曾在歷代志上28:9中教導他的兒子所羅門說:”你當認識耶和華你父的神,誠心樂意地侍奉他” 可見在他眼中,預備好認識神的心是人生當中的頭等大事。而事實上,如果我們的心準備好了要尋求真神,他就會被我們找到。不但如此,隨他而來的各種奇妙經歷不斷造就我們在基督耶穌裡的信心。 那麼紮根在耶穌基督的信心具體表現為什麼呢? 這樣的信心應該是很單純的。有了它就能相信耶穌基督是真神。在我們與神的親密關係當中,聖靈會保護我們遠離試探,給我們喜樂以戰勝艱難,讓我們得以恆久忍耐,讓我們輕鬆面對傷痛,讓我們在試探面前不再一敗塗地,並且還會讓我們具備好的品行。最後,讓我們可以因著越來越真切地知道神在我們生命當中的供給而倍感豐盛。 很多基督徒都作過有關信心的見證,而我自己才有過與他們類似的經歷。我們都很清楚地知道,當我們在人生的風暴中信靠耶穌的時候,我們就有機會得嘗從他而來、超過我們所求所想的能力。然後,聖靈會讓我們更加剛強。雖然環境還是一如既往地不容樂觀,有時甚至每況愈下;但是由於在我們裡面的力量是從神而來,所以它永不枯竭。 那麼,再讓我們看看《聖經》是怎麼定義 “信心” 的? 信心就是即使在前途未知的時候,仍舊相信神會允許發生在我們身上的是對我們來說最好的可能。(希伯來書11:1) 信心就是相信神會供給那些倚靠他的人。(希伯來書11:6) 信心就是靠著注目神來獲得智慧。當一個人在尋求智慧的時候,那個人必須堅定不疑地信靠神。(雅各書1:5-6) 信是因著恩典,而不是因著好行為而來的。(以弗所書 2:8) 信心是勇氣和力量。(哥林多前書16:13) 信是仁愛、喜樂、和平、忍耐、恩慈、良善、信實、溫柔、節制這幾種屬靈果實中的一員: 。(加拉太書5:22) 我們行事為人是憑著信心,不是憑著眼見。(哥林多後書5:7) 在神裡面的信心甚至能夠移動你面前的 “山”(馬可福音11:22-23) … Continue reading
