宣教士 (10)

宣教士 (10)
聖經閱讀：馬太福音28:16-20 現代中譯本|合和本
2016年3月3日(四)

最後一位我們要談的宣教士就是「你」！如果你是基督徒，那麼你就應該成為耶穌的宣教士。
今天閱讀的經文是耶穌在世上說的最後一些話，耶穌的這些話在馬可福音16:14-20又說了一次。馬可福音16:19告訴我們：「主耶穌和他們說完了話，後來被接到天上，坐在上帝的右邊」。
耶穌是在對跟祂一起的門徒說話，但是我相信這些話也是說給我們聽的。耶穌並不是說，只有在我們有空時才向人傳講祂，耶穌是在命令我們要這麼做！
我們應該遵從耶穌的命令去教導人並且為人施洗，然後這些新加入的基督徒會再去教導其他人，讓上帝的教會將不斷地成長，為什麼呢？因為我們都是分享耶穌福音的宣教士！ —JK

「所以，你們要去，使萬國萬民都作我的門徒，奉父、子、聖靈的名給他們施洗，並且教導他們遵守我所給你們的一切命令。」 馬太福音28:19-20a

禱告：天父，今天我願成為祢的宣教士。奉耶穌的名，阿們！

Bible Reading: Matthew 28:16-20
thursday, March 3, 2016

　The last missionary we will talk about is YOU! If you are a Christian, then you should be a missionary for Jesus. The verses in our Bible Reading today are some of the last words Jesus spoke on earth. Jesus’ words are repeated in Mark 16:14-20. Mark 16:19 tells us, “After the Lord Jesus said these things to his followers, he was carried up into heaven. There, Jesus sat at the right side of God.”
Jesus spoke to His followers who were with Him, but I believe these words are for us, too. Jesus does not suggest that we should talk to people about Him if we have the time. Jesus commands us to do this!
We should obey Jesus’ command to teach and baptize people. These new Christians will then teach other people. God's church will grow and grow. Why? Because we are missionaries who share the Good News about Jesus! —JK

“So go and make followers of all people in the world. Baptize them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach them to obey everything that I have told you to do.” Matthew 28:19-20a
