16-20節--權柄全是祢的

馬太福音 第28章

接續昨天的討論，我們今天要提出的第二個重點是：基督徒必須信靠神的權柄和能力。昨天所講的第一句，是承認我們是活在神的掌管之下；今天的第二句是要我們緊記，掌管我們生命的神，乃是一位擁有一切權柄、能力勝過萬有的神。

我們都知道，我們如果靠自己，並沒有能力為基督而活，也沒有能力在試探中站立得穩。我們沒有能力在壓力下挺身發言；沒有能力去愛和關心別人；更沒有能力去克服自己的好惡或恐懼，去到最需要我們服侍的地方。唯有靠著耶穌的大能，我們才能夠克勝一切軟弱，並在任何境況中都能處之泰然。

我們要記著，神已經藉著聖靈，將這種能力賜給每位基督徒。基督對眾門徒說：「但聖靈降臨在你們身上，你們就必得著能力」(徒一8)。當人接受基督作為他的救主時，聖靈便會進入他的心中居住。祂會讓我們經歷到祂的同在。問題是：我們是否願意讓祂按照基督的心意，在我們的生命中作工？聖靈當然有能力工作，可是，除非我們容讓祂在我們的生命中工作，否則祂不會主動作工。當然，祂可以一直帶領我們，以致我們學會順服，但祂始終要我們願意，祂才會在我們身上成就祂的工作。

有些時候，我們會很難明白自己怎麼會跌倒；尋其原因，乃是因為我們凡事倚靠自己。當我們為主作工之前，必須認真花時間去禱告，祈求聖靈按著基督的心意來成就祂的工作。聖靈願意在信徒身上成就祂的工作，也喜歡藉著信徒來作成祂的工，只要我們願意便可以了。

甚麼是得力的祕訣？筆者相信，祕訣是在於我們每天、甚至是每時每刻都願意順服基督和內住的聖靈。但願我們每早禱告主說：「主耶穌，我願意將自己獻上給你，願聖靈按著你的心意在我的身上工作。」

THINE IS ... THE POWER

BIBLE READING: Matthew 28:16-20

The second point in our outline of these final phrases is: A Christian should be Confident In the Power of God. The first phrase speaks of the authority under which we live. The second phrase reminds us of the adequacy of the power under which we live.

We know we need help to enable us to live for Christ. We need power to stand where we would otherwise fail. We need power to speak where often we would remain silent. We need power to love, to care, and to go where otherwise we would not go. For all of this as the chorus says, There is power in the name of Jesus. It is adequate for any situation.

But remember, that power has been given to every Christian, every believer. It has been given to us in the person of the Holy Spirit. Christ said: You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you (Acts 1 :8). Every believer received the Holy Spirit when he or she accepted Christ as Saviour. He is there, indwelling that life now. He is there to make real to each of us, what Christ has made possible. Is He being allowed to do the work He came to do? I say it reverently - the Holy Spirit does not operate automatically in our lives. He will only do what we allow Him to do. True, He will work to bring us to the place of yielded ness but He will not work unless we allow Him to do so.

We wonder at times why we fail. It is because we have tried to do something in our own strength. Instead we should be relying on the Holy Spirits power. Before we attempt any work for the Lord, we need to spend time in prayer asking that God the Holy Spirit will be free to do the work He came to do. He wants to do it through and in Gods children. He will do it if we will allow Him.

What is the secret? I believe it is a daily, even hourly, attitude of yielding to Christ and the indwelling Spirit. Lord Jesus, I give myself to you for this day that your Holy Spirit may have His way in me today. Make that your morning prayer.

THINE (not mine) IS THE POWER.
