一名宣教士

我沒辦法到其他國家去向人傳講耶穌的福音，也許你就像我一樣。你想要去向所有人傳講耶穌，但是因為某種原因，你無法辦到。 　但是我有好消息要告訴你──你可以在你住的地方向人傳講耶穌。今天經文的第5b節說：「要把握機會」，這句話的意思是，一旦有機會時，我們應該向人分享耶穌的福音。 　在我們的生活圈裡，幾乎每一天我們都可以是一名宣教士。我們可以向一天中所遇見的人分享上帝的愛：老師、郵差、銷售員、朋友、同事、家人或鄰居。 　今天我們會遇見的人中很多都不是基督徒，有些人也許從來沒有聽過耶穌的真理，這些人就是你的宣教對象。如果你向他們傳講耶穌，你就是在把握機會。 　求上帝幫助你，在面對今天所遇見的人時，成為一名宣教士。—CW* 「你們跟非信徒來往要有智慧，要把握機會。」 歌羅西書4:5a 禱告：親愛的上帝，求祢向我顯明可以去為祢接觸的人。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (尤榮輝譯)

A Missionary
Bible Reading: Colossians 4:2-6
Friday, December 12, 2014

I am not able to go to another country and tell people about Jesus. Maybe you are like me. You want to go and tell all people about Jesus, but for some reason you can't. 　But I have good news for you — you can tell others about Jesus right where you live. Verse 5b of our Bible Reading says, “Use your time in the best way you can.” This means that we should share the Good News about Jesus whenever we have an opportunity. 　Almost every day we can be a missionary in our own part of the world. We can share God's love with people we meet during the day: a teacher, the mailman, a sales clerk, a friend, a fellow-worker, a family member or our neighbors. 　Many of the people you will see today are not Christians. Some may have never learned the truth about Jesus. These people are your mission field. If you tell them about Jesus, you will be using your time in the best way you can. 　Ask God to help you be a missionary to the people you meet today. —CW* “Be wise in the way you act with those who are not believers.” Colossians 4:5a PRAYER: Dear God, show me people that I can reach for You. In Jesus' name. Amen.
