26/5/2024 为基督的身体(教会)受苦

真理生活化

西1:24-25, 29

现在我为你们受苦、倒觉欢乐、并且为基督的身体、就是为教会、要在我肉身上补满基督患难的缺欠。我照神为你们所赐我的职分、作了教会的执事、要把神的道理传得全备．...我也为此劳苦、照着他在我里面运用的大能、尽心竭力。

Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and fill up on my part that which is lacking of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the assembly; of which I was made a servant, according to the stewardship of God which was given me toward you, to fulfill the word of God,..for which I also labor, striving according to his working, which works in me mightily.

主耶稣！使徒保罗一心一意, 要看到主的教会有神的荣耀, 心就满足, 一切的辛劳, 都是值得的。我自问, 我有多渴慕, 要看见神的荣耀在教会中彰显？主啊！我为此, 我愿意尽心竭力, 付出一切代价, 求主使用我, 成为教会荣耀神的器皿。
