每日箴言

这三者不可分开



“并要以恩慈相待,存怜悯的心,彼此饶恕,正如神在基督里饶恕了你们一样。所以你们该效法神,……也要凭爱心行事。” - 弗 4:32-5:2

? 灵修


在以弗所书中,保罗劝勉信徒 “行事为人就当像光明的子女” ,其中包括要 “凭爱心行事” ,因为这样才 “合圣徒体统” 。作为一个跟随耶稣的人,我们的生活方式要以神为榜样,我们要活出恩慈、怜悯,和饶恕;我们要学习去饶恕,因为我们知道,神已经爱并且饶恕我们了。


作为牧师,常常都有人邀请我在讲坛上宣讲饶恕之道。我通常都会强调这个主题,就是:蒙神饶恕的,必须饶恕人。如果我们不感激神的饶恕,我们便没有什么动力去饶恕别人了。蒙神饶恕而又心存感恩的人,必定会乐意以恩慈和怜悯待人。


圣经中很多经文,例如诗篇103篇,都告诉我们神是饶恕、慈爱、怜悯,和恩慈的,我们可以效法我们的天父,如此这样待人。


恩慈、怜悯、饶恕,三者不可分开的,我们不可能以恩慈对待一个我们没有饶恕的人,如果我们不明白从神那里经历的慈爱和怜悯是如此浩大,我们也不会以怜悯待人。


作为一个跟随耶稣的人,我们需要与人分享祂赐给我们的爱。如果我们这样做,便能建立健全的关系、尊崇我们的创造主,并拓展祂的国度了。


? 祷告


饶恕的父啊,我们为祢的慈爱和饶恕感谢祢。求祢帮助我们,以恩慈和怜悯待人,因为祢已经为我们立下榜样了。奉耶稣名祈求,阿们。


普世佳音每日箴言

? Kindness, Compassion, Forgiveness

"Be kind and compassionate ... forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. Follow God's example, therefore ... and walk in the way of love... ." — Ephesians 4:32-5:2

? Devotion

Urging us to "live as children of light," Paul calls us to "walk in the way of love" as "God's holy people." As Christ's followers, we adopt a lifestyle of imitating God, showing kindness, compassion, and forgiveness. We learn to forgive because we know that God has loved and forgiven us.

As a pastor, I have often been asked me to preach on forgiveness. I usually focus on the theme that people who are forgiven must be forgiving. If we do not appreciate God's forgiving us, we have little motivation for forgiving others. Forgiven believers with grateful hearts readily express kindness and compassion for others.

Many Bible passages like Psalm 103 show us that God is forgiving, loving, compassionate, and gracious, and we can imitate our heavenly Father, treating people with compassionate, gracious love.

Kindness, compassion, and forgiveness are inseparable. We can't be very kind to someone whom we haven't forgiven. We won't show compassion until we grow aware of how much we've experienced God's love and compassion.

As Jesus' followers, we're called to share the love that he has shown for us. Doing so builds healthy relationships, honors our Creator, and grows his kingdom.

? Prayer

Forgiving Father, thank you for your love and forgiveness. Help us to show kindness and compassion to others because you've shown it to us. In Jesus' name, Amen.
