「不要思虑怎么分诉,说甚么话;因为正在那时候,圣灵要指教你们当说的话。」 ― 路 12:11-12

在很多教会中,都有一个常见的误解,很多基督徒以为在讲台上宣讲神的话,与在交谈中分享祂的真理有很大的分别。同样地,很多基督徒认为传福音的高峰,是在礼拜日早上在教堂中发生的,而不是在咖啡室里或在坐车上班的途中。

作为基督徒,我们时常以为如果要与人分享救恩,我们要有学识或受过特别的训练。因此,我们被自己的无能纠结,被自己缺乏安全感困住,因害怕让自己和其他人失望,甚至更糟的,令神失望,而感到不知所措。

但你被呼召不是因为你有资格,而是因为你被呼召,所以你才有资格。不论你受过多少的宗教神学教育,或你多么擅长公开演说,你的生命本身便是一个见证,它是神救赎和复兴你的计划之的故事。

在世界还未奠基之前,神已经认识你。祂创造了你,为你作好安排,又直呼你的名字。神接纳你为儿女,成为祂永恒的家的成员,祂把祂国度的事工交托给你,简单来说,就是去与人分享罪得赦免,和在基督里永恒新生命的好消息。今天就去分享这个好消息吧!

祷告

神啊,感谢祢使我们被呼召的,都符合事奉祢的资格。求祢以祢的灵加力给我们,去分享祢天国的好消息。阿们。

路加福音 12:11-12

11 人带你们到会堂,并官府和有权柄的人面前,不要思虑怎么分诉,说什么话, 12 因为正在那时候,圣灵要指教你们当说的话。」

God, the Provider (II)

“Do not worry about how you will defend yourselves or what you will say, for the Holy Spirit will teach you at that time what you should say.” - Luke 12:11-12

There is a common misunderstanding in many churches. Many Christians think there is a big difference between proclaiming God’s Word from a pulpit and sharing his truth in a conversation. Similarly, lots of Christians think the apex of evangelism happens on a Sunday morning in a sanctuary and not in a coffee shop or in a car ride to work.

As Christians, we often think that to share the gift of salvation with someone, we first have to be qualified academically or be trained in a special way. As a result, we can get tangled up in our inabilities, bogged down by our insecurities, and overwhelmed with fears of failing ourselves, others, or—even worse—God.

But you aren’t called because you’re qualified; you’re qualified because you’ve been called. Your life, regardless of religious education or ability to speak in public, is a testimony in itself. It’s the story of God’s redemption and restoration plan in you.

God knew you even before he established the foundations of the earth. He created you, wired you, and called you by name. God has adopted you as his child into his eternal family, and he has entrusted you with his kingdom work, which simply means sharing with someone the good news of forgiveness from sin and of new life in Christ forever. So share the good news today!

Prayer

God, thank you for qualifying all of us whom you have called. Strengthen us by your Spirit to share the good news of your kingdom. Amen.
