Day 5

(腓立比書2:5-11)
  • 你們當以基督耶穌的心為心:
  • 他本有神的形像,不以自己與神同等為強奪的;
  • 反倒虛己,取了奴僕的形像,成為人的樣式;
  • 既有人的樣子,就自己卑微,存心順服,以至於死,且死在十字架上。
  • 所以,神將他升為至高,又賜給他那超乎萬名之上的名,
  • 叫一切在天上的、地上的,和地底下的,因耶穌的名無不屈膝,
  • 無不口稱「耶穌基督為主」,使榮耀歸與父神。

我深信住在心在心裡面基督的靈能改造我更加像耶穌基督。

主啊!我可以如何更加與祢結連?

基督的心成為我的心? 基督的心腸, 祂的心志在這短短幾節聖經已表露無遺:為著你和我, 祂放下了一切, 祂以"虛己" 替代 "本有", "神的形象" 成了 "奴隸的形象", 這是祂的方法. 主擺上了一切, 我又擺上些甚麼?

Obedient unto death!

Heavy....Heavey.....my heart is really heavy.....couldn't sleep last night.
"Though the storms may come, I am still holding on to the rock I cling........"

I feel like in the Garden of Gethsemane, LORD, this is too heavy for me, if you are willing, remove this from me, nevertheless, not my will, but yours be done! Amen.

Very often we tends to be quite lazy when reading the bible, just taking what seems right and helpful without much deep thought into it. But these days I am looking at one small passage and think about it over and over again until I get something. Thanks our pastor for giving us such a chance. I start to find new insight especially when I look also at the English version.

Today's passage seems quite straight-forward - be like Jesus. But how? It's tough. Can we really be like Jesus, really "did not consider" our strength "something to be grasped", but make myself nothing? How can we be submissive and say to God "not my will, but thy will be done"?

Lord, help me to humble myself, to be obedient and carry out Your will in my life, whatever it takes. Help me to do it with a joyful heart. Amen

耶穌基督以神兒子尊貴的身份, 道成肉身, 成為人的樣式, 來到世界, 為拯救我們的緣故, 受死、復活、升天. 也為我們留下了極寶貴的榜樣, 就是謙卑順服. 這也是基督在生時對我們的教導, 祂也身體力行的為門徒洗腳, 以身做則. 順服不單只是情感上的接受, 也不是行為上的樣式, 而是要表裡一致, 我問自己, 主耶穌為了我擺上一切, 甘心順服, 我是否願意為祂擺上? 神要我們擺上的, 不單止是時間或金錢, 還有我的自我, 我的思念, 我的興趣, 我的掛慮等等, 並不是說因此我不再可以擁有這些, 而是在我追求這些事情時, 我是否尋求神的旨意, 而甘心為著的緣故放下自己呢? 尤其在日常生活中的鎖瑣事上更加要小心.

有一首很熟悉的老歌這樣唱:

但願耶穌的美麗從我顯現—
耶穌所有清潔、溫柔與甘甜。
求你用你聖靈,前來煉我性情,
直至耶穌的美麗從我顯現。


願神幫助我
