看罗马书15章的时候,给了感触。
1。保罗有自己的自画像,有对自己得到主恩典的见证。‘使我为外邦人作基督耶稣的仆役,作神福音的祭司’。
【Rom15:15】但我稍微放胆写信给你们,是要提醒你们的记性,特因神所给我的恩典,I have written you quite boldly on some points, as if to remind you of them again , because of the grace God gave me .本是逼迫者,仇敌的关系,保罗也说是罪人中的罪魁,。可是基督的光照了我。记住神给的恩典真的很重要。生活当中,要么看着罪去生活,要么看着恩典去生活。罗得妻子的教训。
【Rom15:16】 使我为外邦人作基督耶稣的仆役,作神福音的祭司,叫所献上的外邦人,因着圣灵,成为圣洁,可蒙悦纳。to be a minister of christ Jesus to the Gentiles with the priestly duty of proclaiming the gospel of God , so that the Gentiles might become an offering acceptable to God ,so that the Gentiles might become an offering acceptable to God , sanctified by the Holy Spirity
2。保罗里面有着传福音的热情,意想,梦想。多次想传教旅行。
【Isa66:20】他们必将你们的弟兄从列国中送回,使他们或骑马,或坐车,坐轿,骑骡子,骑独峰驼,到我的圣山耶路撒冷,作为供物献给耶和华,好像以色列人用洁净的器皿盛供物奉到耶和华的殿中;这是耶和华说的。And they will bring all your brothers,from all the nations ,to my holy mountain in Jerusalem as an offering to the Lord-on horses,in chariots and wagons , and on mules and camels,'says the Lord,'They will bring them, as the Israelties bring their grain offerings , to the temple of the Lord in cermonially clean vessels.'
以赛亚所描述的以后景象,也许保罗把这个当作自己的梦想来生活。作为贡物献给耶和华。就像我们的主耶稣一样,把自己成为祭物,为世人献上。!!看着以赛亚的预言,愿我们每个信徒,带着这样的心去走。把我们周围的弟兄姐妹,带到神的面前 ,自己成为这样的祭物献上。让我们走在以赛亚先知的预言上,并且成就和实现它。
3。保罗里面服侍的心-欠债的心。
后面是保罗要会耶路撒冷的计划.回到福音开始的地方去,保罗里面有欠众人债的心,
【Rom15:27】 这固然是他们乐意的。其实也算是所欠的债。因外邦人,既然在他们属灵的好处上有分,就当把养身之物供给他们。They were pleased to do it ,and indeed they owe it to them. For if the Gentiles have shared in the Jews'spritual blessings ,they owe it to the Jews to share with them their material blessings.
因为外邦人曾是在他们的基础上被建立的。!【既然在他们属灵的好处上有分,就当把养身之物供给他们。】
