19/2/2024 没有勉强

加2:1-3 

过了十四年、我同巴拿巴又上耶路撒冷去、并带着提多同去。我是奉启示上去的、把我在外邦人中所传的福音、对弟兄们陈说．却是背地里对那有名望之人说的．惟恐我现在、或是从前、徒然奔跑。但与我同去的提多、虽是希利尼人、也没有勉强他受割礼．

Then after a period of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with me. I went up by revelation, and I laid before them the Good News which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately before those who were respected, for fear that I might be running, or had run, in vain. But not even Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised.

主耶稣！我看到使徒保罗的智慧, 把宗教的礼仪和神的旨意, 清楚的分开处理。主啊！求主祝福教会的决策者, 有像使徒保罗的智慧, 晓得如何看重意义, 清楚明白神的旨意, 不勉强人守宗教的礼仪, 更多教导敬畏神的法则。
