發揮行善的力量—-出埃及記20:10［但第七日是向耶和華你神當守的安息日. 這一日你和你的兒女, 僕婢, 牲畜, 並你城裡寄居的客旅, 無論何工都不可做.] 安息日不僅是為你及你的兒女而設的. 不是宗教的安排. 而是使僕婢, 牲畜及客旅也能安息. 通通都要放假. 安息日及安息年都是為了行善, 是為窮人的需要設立的. 出埃及記23:11［只是第七年要叫地歇息, 不耕不種, 使你民中的窮人有吃的.” 我們要站在別人的需要上, 不問種族, 不問宗教信仰, 不問政治立場. 我們只關心上帝所愛的人. 耶穌將自己與貧困卑微的人連接在一起. 馬太福音25:35”我餓了. 你們給我吃…做在我這弟兄中一個最小的人身上, 就是做在我身上了.” 收割時, 要留一些給窮人的需要. 利未記23:22”在你們的地收割莊稼, 不可割盡田角. 也不可拾取所遺落的, 要留給窮人和寄居的.” 在收割人身後為婆婆拾取麥穗的路德, 遇到阿波斯, 成就了奇妙恩典, 他們的第三代子孫是大衛王, 大衛王的第26代子孫是約瑟, 約瑟是耶穌基督生母馬利亞的丈夫. 路德和馬利亞都以信心抓住奇妙的恩典, 走出一條不一樣的路, 使眾人同享行善的恩典. 行善並不只是救人危難, 給人吃飯而已, 而是以投資人的生命為目標, 成就上帝對全人類所預備的恩典. 箴言3:27”你手若有行善的力量, 就不可推遲.” 讓我們為黑暗中的人點一盞燈. 讓我們成為滋潤大地的江河.
Exercising the power of good deeds – Exodus 20:10 [But the seventh day is the Sabbath to the LORD your God. On this day you and your sons and daughters, your servants, your livestock, and your strangers in your cities , do no work of any kind.] The Sabbath is not only for you and your children. It is not a religious arrangement. It is for servants and servants, cattle, and travelers to rest. All are to be off. Sabbath and Sabbath year All for good works, and for the needs of the poor. Exodus 23:11 [But in the seventh year let the earth rest, neither tilling nor sowing, so that the poor of your people may have something to eat.” We will stand No race, no religion, no political affiliation in the needs of others. We only care about those whom God loves. Jesus connected himself to the poor and lowly. Matthew 25:35 “I am hungry. You Feed me…do it to the least of my brethren, and do it to me.” When you harvest, leave something for the needs of the poor. Leviticus 23:22 “In your land, reap the harvest, Do not cut off all the corners of the field, nor gather what is left, but leave it to the poor and the strangers.” Luther, who was gathering grain for his mother-in-law after the reapers, met Apos, and achieved wonderful grace, their third The descendant is King David, and the 26th descendant of King David is Joseph, the husband of Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ. Both Luther and Mary seized the marvelous grace by faith, and walked out of a different path, making All people share in the grace of doing good. Doing good is not just about saving people from distress and giving them food, but the goal of investing in people’s lives and fulfilling the grace God has prepared for all mankind. Proverbs 3:27 “If you have good works in your hand, let us light a light for those who are in the dark. Let us be rivers that nourish the earth.
