A)  20th Anniversary’s reflection: “The Unchanged Heavenly Calling and a Path of Abundance

 

B) 祂所賜下的恩典與能力永遠超過我們所求、所想和所曾經歷的

a) 是永遠夠用的

·         祂對我說:「我的恩典夠你用的,因為我的能力是在人的軟弱上顯得完全。」所以,我更喜歡誇自己的軟弱,好叫基督的能力覆庇我。(林後12:9)

b) 是遠超所求所想的

·         神為愛他的人所預備的是眼睛未曾看見,耳朵未曾聽見,人心也未曾想到的。(林前2:9)

·         神既不愛惜自己的兒子,為我們眾人捨了,豈不也把萬物和他一同白白地賜給我們嗎(8:32)

c) 神用諸般智慧、聰明所充充足足賜與我們的

·         這恩典是 神用諸般智慧聰明,充充足足賞給我們的; 9 都是照祂自己所預定的美意(1:8-9a)

B) The grace and strength that He give always surpass what we ask for, what we can imagine, and what we have experienced.

a) They are always sufficient

·         And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.  ”Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. (2 Cor 12:9)

b) They surpass what we ask for and what we can imagine.

·         But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man.  The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” (1 Corinthians 2:9)

·         He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? (Romans 8:32)

c) God made them to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence.

·         which He made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence, … according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself, (Ephesians 1:8-9a)

 

C) 祂所賜下的恩典與能力更是為著我們的托付與行天路所需

a) 教會肩負著見証的使命 要成為耶穌基督「道成肉身的見證人」

b) 教會是走天路的教會 要在 神所命定的旨意和應許中不住地往前

c) 教會要成為萬民的祝福-不僅『承受祝福』,更要『成為祝福』

C) His grace and strength is given to us for the work we were entrusted with and for walking the heavenly path.  

a) The church shoulders the commission of testimony - to become the testimony of Jesus Christ - the “Word becoming flesh”

b)  The church needs to walk the heavenly path - to march forward in God’scommanded will and promises.

c) The church needs to become a blessing to all people - not only to “receive blessings”, but more so “become a blessing.”

 

D) 前瞻

D) Looking forward
