门徒的责任
The Responsibility of Discipleship
“我们在你们那里的时候,曾吩咐你们说,若有人不肯做工,就不可吃饭。”
—-帖后3:10
Even while we were still there with you we gave you this rule: ‘He who does not work shall not eat.’
—2 Thessalonians 3:10 (TLB)
基督徒跟随基督的责任之一就是对工作有一个新的态度。多少年轻人想要基督,但却不想承担责任。耶稣不是一个半途而废的人。作为一个木匠,他用双手辛勤作工。当使徒保罗在做上帝交给他的工作时,以织帐篷为生。基督徒无论做什么工作都是为主做的,在任何行业或职业上都应该尽他所能。他应当忠诚、廉洁、诚实。
One of the Christian’s responsibilities in following Christ is to have a new attitude toward work. So many young people want Christ without responsibility. Jesus was not a drop-out. As a carpenter, He worked hard with His hands. The Apostle Paul made tents for a living while he carried on the work that God assigned him. Whatever work a Christian does is done unto the Lord. He should do his best at whatever his trade or vocation. He should be faithful, clean, and honest.
