提多书第3章/腓利门书1章

2022年9月27日

读经内容:提多书第3章,腓利门书

默想分享:

在保罗的书信中我们可以看到基督里真实的团契生活是怎样的。保罗给提多的每一条建议都是从爱心出发,从为了教会的利益出发。我们在这个世界生活,难免要受到许多的挣扎与试探,会遇到各种各样的问题,但是靠着爱我们的主,我们不仅有今生的祝福,也有永生的盼望。

保罗告诉提多要教育众人顺服官长。从前几天的读经内容,我们就已经知道了,保罗不是一个社会革命家。罗马政府当时并不是一个对犹太人和基督教友善的社会,相反,保罗是被囚的,基督徒也遭遇了极大的迫害,但是保罗却要众人顺服官长,遵他的命,还要预备行各样的善事,这从人的情感角度确实是无法理解。但是,保罗的眼光并不是在地上,而是在天上。那些为了私欲而去毁谤,争竞,悖逆的,并不是真正的基督徒,因为他们服侍的不是神,而是自己的私欲。所以,当我们今天为了什么事情而去争辩的时候,要去想,我这么做是为了神的利益,还是为了我自己的利益呢?

腓利门书是圣经当中最短的一卷书,里面主要讲一件私事,就是为了一位腓利门的曾经逃跑的奴隶阿尼西母求情。因为阿尼西母在主里给了保罗许多帮助,并且能够在福音的拓展工作上做出许多贡献。

虽然在信中,保罗并没有直接说出要求腓利门释放阿尼西母,但是保罗谦卑的恳求腓利门对待阿尼西母“不再是奴仆,乃是高过奴仆,是亲爱的兄弟。(腓利门书 1:16 和合本)”即使是在这样一封求情的信中,保罗也没有提出要让腓利门释放阿尼西母,解除他的奴隶身份。最后腓利门会释放他还是给了他更好的待遇,我们不得而知。保罗在向腓利门求情的时候,是说如果阿尼西母亏欠了腓利门什么,保罗必替他偿还,因为连腓利门也是亏欠保罗的。所以,我们相信,腓利门最后必定会赦免阿尼西母的债(且不说阿尼西母逃跑,奴隶要赎身就要付给主人一大笔钱),因为他也欠了神的债。

我们都欠了神的债,所以,我们要过讨神喜悦的生活,预备行各样的善事,去帮助其他人。因为主耶稣说, “我实在告诉你们,这些事你们既做在我这弟兄中一个最小的身上,就是做在我身上了。”(马太福音 25:40 和合本)

 

思考与应用: 我们要如何活出一个爱神爱人的新生命呢?

祷告:亲爱的主耶稣,求你帮助我,让我远离自己的私欲,盼望主你永生的荣耀和奖赏,阿们!(转发请注明TCAC, 谢谢!)
