恩典够用
Sufficient to Meet Your Needs
我的恩典够你用的,因为我的能力是在人的软弱上显得完全。
——哥林多后书12:9
I am with you, that is all you need. My power shows up best in weak people.
—2 Corinthians 12:9 (TLB)
一位想让少年地痞流氓们认识基督的管教所所长说:“做一名基督徒是世上最难的事。有什么比爱你的仇敌更难呢?” 有个男孩,在这个管教所成长为一名坚定的信徒,他说:“在这个团体里,我们都是弟兄姐妹,我们都是人。一开始我觉得这太难了,但后来我听说,在基督里一切皆有可能。于是难处消失了。我认为一个人在认识耶稣基督以前不能算是一个完全的人。”是的,基督徒的生活是艰难困苦的;但它充满挑战, 值得付出所有代价去跟随耶稣基督。你很快会发现 神的恩典大过十字架,当你背起这无人愿背的十字架,不管你在哪里,你都会发现神的恩典就在那里,丰丰满满地足够你用。
A director of a camp whose purpose is to lead young hoodlums to Christ says, “Being a Christian is the toughest thing in the world. What’s tougher than loving your enemy?” One boy, who developed into a rugged disciple of Christ at this camp, said, “In this outfit we’re all brothers and we’re all men. It was too tough for me at first, but then I heard that through Christ everything is possible. Then the roughness went away. I say a man is not a man, not a full man, until he gets to know Jesus Christ.” Yes, the Christian life is tough and rough; but it’s challenging. It’s worth everything it costs to be a follower of Jesus Christ. You will soon find that the cross is not greater than His grace. When you pick up the cross of unpopularity, wherever you may be, you will find God’s grace is there, more than sufficient to meet your every need.
