分享的喜乐

Joy in Sharing

我们应当……常常以颂赞为祭献给神。

——来 13:15

We . . . offer our sacrifice of praise to God by telling others of the glory of his name.
—Hebrews 13:15 (TLB)

耶稣知道检验属灵果效的方式之一是我们是否愿意与人分享，如果没有怜悯的心，那就证明我们没有经历神的怜悯。爱默生一定了解人类怜悯的方式，他说过“你本身要比你说的话重要”。撒旦不在乎你掌握多少基督教理论，也不在乎你如何宣称相信基督，他极力反对的是你活出基督的样式。

不久前一位妇女在信中说道：“我现在65岁， 孩子们已经结婚，丈夫已经去世了，我是世界上最孤独的人之一。”我建议她与身边的人分享她的信仰以及物质生活用品。几周后她再次来信说：“我是镇上最幸福的人，在与别人分享的同时我也找到了喜乐和幸福。”这正是神给我们的应许。

Jesus knew that one of the real tests of our yieldedness to God is our willingness to share with others. If we have no mercy toward others, that is one proof that we have never experienced God’s mercy. Emerson must have been reading the gauge of human mercy when he said, “What you are speaks so loud that I cannot hear what you say.” Satan does not care how much you theorize about Christianity, or how much you profess to know Christ. What he opposes vigorously is the way you live Christ.

Some time ago a lady wrote and said, “I am 65 years old. My children are all married, my husband is dead, and I am one of the loneliest people in all the world.” It was suggested to her that she find a way of sharing her religious faith and her material goods with those around her. She wrote a few weeks later and said, “I am the happiest woman in town. I have found a new joy and happiness in sharing with others.” That’s exactly what Jesus promised!
