恩惠与平安
Grace and Peace
我们各人蒙恩,都是照基督所量给各人的恩赐。
——弗4:7
Unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
—Ephesians 4:7
圣经中从没说基督徒的生活是称心如意的。实际上,基督徒的生活是艰辛的,因为它与世人所行之道相反。但耶稣说过,当你身处艰难时,他会赐你恩惠和平安。在所有的困难之下,将是那大牧者供应给我们的“可安歇的水边”。许多人试图用镇定剂稳定自己,但耶稣才是最伟大的镇定剂。他能修正你的生活,让你重回正轨。让他来完全掌控,你将和新约中那些遇到耶稣的人一样,继续行在喜乐的路上。
The Christian life is never spoken of in the Bible as a bed of roses. It is uphill, because society is coming one way and the Christian is going the opposite way. But Jesus said that in the midst of your problems, in the midst of your difficulties, He will be there to give you grace and peace. Underneath all the troubles, will be the “still waters” that the Great Shepherd can provide. Many people are trying to steady themselves by taking tranquilizers. Jesus is the greatest tranquilizer of all. He can straighten out your life and put you back on center. Let Him take full control. You’ll go on your way rejoicing, as did those in the New Testament who met Jesus.
