每日箴言
团契中的大能
“就如身子是一个,却有许多肢体。而且肢体虽多,仍是一个身子。基督也是这样。” - 林前 12:12
灵修
学步期的幼儿跟青春期的孩子有个共同的特点,他们喜欢炫耀自己的独立,总想证明自己不需要父母、监护人或其他人的帮助,就能够生活顺利。争取独立往往是成长的一个健康部分,但是,人若想脱离群体全都“自己动手”,认为“自己就是一切”,这却是很不健康的。结果,独立本来是一件好事,却被固执的骄傲败坏和误导了。
活在复活的大能中意味着我们承认自己需要神和需要彼此。圣灵会把属灵的恩赐和必要的能力赐给信徒的团契,以此来扩展神的国度。信徒个人不能单独去做这件事,复活的大能来自于在合一中共同生活和工作,在基督团契中承认并全力支持其他人的恩赐、才华和能力。
我们都有自己的位置,都有自己的目标。我们都有可以贡献的恩赐,而且神视我们每个人为祂的孩子。当我们活在合一和复活的大能中,我们会表扬和肯定每个人的恩赐。今天,让我们寻求活在合一、以及我们主耶稣基督的大能中,彼此鼓励吧。
祷告
复活的主,求祢使我们在祢里面合而为一;愿我们对祢的爱,和我们团契中彼此的爱,都见证祢的爱和恩典。求祢圣灵的大能使我们成长。奉耶稣的名祷告,阿们。
普世佳音每日箴言
Power In Community
Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. — 1 Corinthians 12:12
Devotion
Toddlers and teenagers share a common trait. They like to declare their independence and want to prove they do not need the help of their parents, guardians, or others to be successful at life. Striving for independence is often a healthy part of growing up. But it can be unhealthy when people try to “do it all” and “be it all” by themselves—outside the context of community. Then, instead of being a good thing, independence is corrupted and driven by stubborn pride.
Living in the power of the resurrection means we recognize our need for God and for each other. God’s Holy Spirit empowers the community of believers with the spiritual gifts and abilities necessary to do the work of growing his kingdom. Individual believers cannot do this by themselves. The power of the resurrection comes in living and working together in unity, recognizing and supporting the gifts, talents, and abilities of all others in the community of Christ.
We all have our place, and we all have purpose. We all have gifts to offer, and God values each one of us as his children. When we live in the unity and power of the resurrection, we celebrate and affirm the use of everyone’s gifts. Let us encourage one another today as we seek to live in the unity and the power of Jesus Christ, our Lord.
Prayer
Resurrected Lord, make us one in you. May our love for you and for one another witness to your love and grace. Grow us together by the power of your Holy Spirit. Amen.
