欢呼!这个youversion.org终于修好了,又可以继续读下去了,感谢神!
我们成为基督徒,不光是为了自己得救,最终的目的是完成神所给的大使命,那就是要让全世界都可以听到福音,所有的人都能得救。而你和我都有责任多结果子。
我们要自醒,我为此作了什么?我有没有邀请过家人,邻舍,同事来教会或团契?我有没有告诉朋友,我的生命改变是因为耶稣?我有没有告诉周围的人,我认识一位又真又活的神?如果你有心,请参加传福音的训练,知道怎么样去传,当然我们自己的行为是传福音的基础,那是最能影响周围的人的见证。
华理克灵修日志
诗篇 67:2 好叫世界得知你的道路,万国得知你的救恩。
约翰福音 3:16 神爱世人,甚至将他的独生子赐给他们,叫一切信他的,不至灭亡,反得永生。
使徒行传 17:26 他从一本造出万族的人(“本”有古卷作“血脉”),住在全地上,并且预先定准他们的年限和所住的疆界,
使徒行传 1:8 但圣灵降临在你们身上,你们就必得着能力;并要在耶路撒冷、犹太全地和撒玛利亚,直到地极,作我的见证。”
从本地转移到全球思维
上帝是一个全球性的神。他一直关心着整个世界。 “神爱世人...." (约翰福音3:16),从一开始,他一直想到他创造的每一个民族的所有家庭。圣经说,“他是从一本造出万族的人(“本”有古卷作“血脉”),住在全地上,并且预先定准他们的年限和所住的疆界”。(使徒行传17:26)
神所做的这一切,使我们寻找它,接触他并找到他。
世界上大多数国家已经开始全球性思维。最大的媒体和企业集团都是多民族的。我们的生活越来越多地与其他国家交织在一起,我们分享时尚,娱乐,音乐,体育,甚至快餐。可能如今你穿的大部分衣服,吃的大部分食品是出产于其他的国家。
我们与世界有更多的连系,超过我们能意识到的,并且上帝可以使用这种接触,来完成他的大使命。耶稣给了我们参与的具体步骤:“但圣灵降临在你们身上,你们就必得着能力;并要在耶路撒冷、犹太全地和撒玛利亚,直到地极,作我的见证。” (使徒行传1:8 )
他的追随者们会传扬福音到他们的社区(耶路撒冷),他们的国家(犹太),其他文化(撒马利亚)和其他国家(在世界各地)。请注意,我们的大使命是同步的,不按顺序的。我们被呼召去给这所有的这四组人传福音。
Shift from Local to Global Thinking
God is a global God. He has always cared about the entire world. "God so loved the world...." (John 3:16) From the beginning he has wanted family members from every nation he created. The Bible says, "From one person God made all nations who live on earth, and he decided when and where every nation would be." (Acts 17:26 CEV)
God has done all this, so that we will look for him and reach out and find him.
Much of the world already thinks globally. The largest media and business conglomerates are all multi-national. Our lives are increasingly intertwined with those in other nations as we share fashions, entertainment, music, sports, and even fast foods. Probably most of the clothes you're wearing, and much of what you eat today was produced in another country.
We're more connected than we realize and God can use that connectedness as a means for us to fulfill his Great Commission. Jesus gave us a pattern for such involvement: " You will tell everyone about me in Jerusalem, in all Judea, in Samaria, and everywhere in the world." (Acts 1:8 CEV)
His followers are to reach out to their community (Jerusalem), to their country (Judea), to other cultures (Samaria) and to other nations (everywhere in the world). Note that our commission is simultaneous, not sequential. We are called to be on mission to all four groups in some way.
