認真作主工

  1. 我們不要拒絕和背棄警告我們的神

25 你們要當心,不要拒絕向你們說話的那一位。要知道,那些拒絕了在地上警告他們的,尚且無法逃脫懲罰,更何況我們背棄從天上警告我們的那一位呢!26 那時候,他的聲音震動了大地。」(希伯來書 12: 25-26上)中文標準

我們既然有這麼多的見證人,像雲彩圍繞著我們,就應該脫下各樣的拖累,和容易纏住我們的罪,以堅忍的心奔跑那擺在我們面前的賽程;專一注視耶穌,就是那位信心的創始者和完成者。(希伯來書 12: 1-2)新譯

  1. 我們在期待那更好的將來即將實現

26 那時候,但如今他應許說:「我不僅要再一次震動地,而且還要震動天。」27 「再一次」這句話表明了那些能夠被震動的,就如被造之物,都要被挪去,好使那些不能被震動的可以存留。(希伯來書 12: 26-27)中文標準

4 耶和華說:「所羅巴伯啊!現在你要剛強。」耶和華說:「約撒答的兒子大祭司約書亞啊!你要剛強;這地的一切子民啊!你們也要剛強,並且要作工。」萬軍之耶和華說:「因為我與你們同在。5 這就是你們從埃及出來的時候,我與你們立約的話。現在我的靈住在你們中間;你們不要懼怕。」6 因為萬軍之耶和華這樣說:「再過不多的時候,我要震動天、地、海洋和旱地。」7 萬軍之耶和華說:「我要震動萬國,萬國的珍寶就必運來;我要使這殿宇充滿榮耀。」8 萬軍之耶和華說:「銀子是我的,金子也是我的。」9 萬軍之耶和華說:「這殿宇後來的榮耀,必大過先前的榮耀。」萬軍之耶和華說:「在這地方,我必賜下平安。」(哈該書 2: 4-9)新譯

  1. 我們要心存感恩按神喜悅的事奉祂

28 因此,我們既然在領受一個不能被震動的國度,就讓我們懷有感恩的心,藉此以虔誠和敬畏,照著神所喜悅的來事奉他。29 要知道,我們的神實在是吞噬的烈火。(希伯來書 12: 28-29)中文標準

所以,弟兄們,我以神的慈悲勸你們,將身體獻上,當作活祭,是聖潔的,是神所喜悅的;你們如此事奉乃是理所當然的。(羅馬書 12: 1)和合

所以,弟兄姊妹們,既然上帝這樣憐恤我們,我勸你們把自己當作活活的祭物獻給上帝,專心事奉他,蒙他喜悅。這就是你們應該獻上的真實敬拜。(羅馬書 12: 1)現中

Do the Lord’s Work Conscientiously

Pastor Abraham Chiu

1. We must not reject and turn our backs on God’s warnings

25 See that you do not refuse him who is speaking. For if they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, much less will we escape if we reject him who warns from heaven. 26 At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.” (Hebrews 12: 25-26) ESV

1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. (Hebrews 12: 1-2) ESV

2. We are looking forward to the better future that is about to come true

26 At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.” 27 This phrase, “Yet once more,” indicates the removal of things that are shaken—that is, things that have been made—in order that the things that cannot be shaken may remain. (Hebrews 12: 26-27) ESV

4 Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, declares the LORD. Be strong, O Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest. Be strong, all you people of the land, declares the LORD. Work, for I am with you, declares the LORD of hosts, 5 according to the covenant that I made with you when you came out of Egypt. My Spirit remains in your midst. Fear not. 6 For thus says the LORD of hosts: Yet once more, in a little while, I will shake the heavens and the earth and the sea and the dry land. 7 And I will shake all nations, so that the treasures of all nations shall come in, and I will fill this house with glory, says the LORD of hosts. 8 The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, declares the LORD of hosts. 9 The latter glory of this house shall be greater than the former, says the LORD of hosts. And in this place I will give peace, declares the LORD of hosts.’” (Haggai 2: 4-9) ESV 

3. We should serve God with gratitude acceptable to Him

28 Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe, 29 for our God is a consuming fire. (Hebrews 12: 28-29) ESV

I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. (Romans 12: 1) ESV
