有根有基的服事 (張仕儒牧師)
在今天的經文中,主耶穌告訴我們,房子如果有好的根基的話,不管遇到什麼樣的事情都不會受到影響,在我們基督徒的信仰生活當中也會有遇到挫折而想要放棄信仰的時候,有如受到風吹雨打一般,如果你沒有放棄的話,一定是因為你的根基是建立在磐石之上。我們都聽過許多的教導,但是耶穌說,「凡聽見我這話不去行的,好比一個無知的人,把房子蓋在沙土上。」所以今天我們要思想的是,我們的根基是建立在磐石上,還是在沙土上呢?
敬畏神就是智慧的開端,當我們選擇跟隨神的腳步,選擇以耶穌為生命的根基的時候,神就會賜給我們足夠的智慧、足夠的時間,賜給我們不一樣的服事。
馬太福音 7:24-27 (和合本)
- 「所以,凡聽見我這話就去行的,好比一個聰明人,把房子蓋在磐石上。
- 雨淋,水沖,風吹,撞著那房子,房子總不倒塌,因為根基立在磐石上。
- 凡聽見我這話不去行的,好比一個無知的人,把房子蓋在沙土上。
- 雨淋,水沖,風吹,撞著那房子,房子就倒塌了,並且倒塌得很大。」
Matthew 7:24-27 (NIV)
- “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.
- The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.
- But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand.
- The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”
