I.
Get
Behind Your Worries
深入探討你的憂慮
Jesus uses
key questions to dig behind worry. It wonÕt do any good to keep worry in the abstract so be concrete as
you answer the fundamental question:
What are you worried about most? Why does
this worry you?
耶穌用一些關鍵性的問題來深入探討憂慮。僅僅在抽象的層面上憂慮是無濟於事的。所以在回答一些基本問題時你必須很具體：
那些事最讓你憂慮？為什麼為這些事憂慮呢？
II.
Get
in Front of Your Worries
正面看待你的憂慮
As
Jesus preached this message what kinds of worry plagued his original audience?
當耶穌在傳講這篇信息的時候，祂當時的聽眾正在為些什麼事憂慮？
Jesus redirects our vision from ourselves to Him, from our kingdom to His
Kingdom by giving us transforming initiatives which are
realistic ways of deliverance from our vicious cycles. He doesnÕt just tell us
to stop worrying but calls us to:
耶穌藉著一些改變的行動把我們的眼目從我們自己身上轉向祂，從我們的國度轉向祂的國度。這些很實際的方法使我們可以從惡性循環裡被釋放出來。祂不是僅僅告訴我們不要憂慮而已，祂還呼召我們去行動：
A. Look
carefully (What
are we called to gaze upon?
小心注視 （什麼是我們蒙召去注視的？）
B. See
(Consider) (What
are we called to observe?)
觀看（思想）（什麼是我們蒙召去觀察的？）
C. Seek
(What are
we told to desire after?)
尋找（什麼是我們應該去追求的？）

Paul connects
Abraham and Isaac to God the Father and Jesus the Son, answering our deepest
worries with His ultimate sacrifice. Our response is worship.

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
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？羅馬書8:32
