標  題:基督的僕人

經  節:這樣,你們做完了一切所吩咐的,只當說:「我們是無用的僕人,所做的本是我們應分做的。」(路加福音十七章10節)

僕人的職責是運行主人的命令。僕人不會告訴主人該怎麼做才對、不會挑選主人所吩咐的工作,也不會建議什麼日子或時間,比較方便自己服事主。僕人的工作是運行命令。相反地,主人是下達命令的。主人不會要求僕人有先見之明,好引導主人該怎麼行。有遠見的是主人,僕人的工作是輔助完成主人的心意。

我們是僕人,神是主人。然而,我們居然想反其道而行!神對於祂自己、祂的計劃、祂作為的啟示,有賴於我們的順服。祂不可能今天就啟示五年後的意向。但祂會告訴我們下一步應該如何行。當我們回應祂的啟示,祂會完成自己的心願。最後,祂將得到所有的榮耀。

我們的成就是來自事奉神。

世人鼓勵你要追求權力、地位和能力,但神要你作僕人。身為神的僕人,你不應該有其他的計劃表,你的工作是去實踐神所有的命令。神不需要你對自己的生命、你的家人、事業或教會有偉大的夢想,祂只要求你單純地順服。你的計劃比起神的計劃,只不過渺如侏儒罷了(以弗所書三:20)!


Servants of Christ

"So likewise you, when you have done all those things which you are commanded, say, 'We are unprofitable servants. We have done what was our duty to do.' " (Luke 17:10)

The servant carries out the master’s will. The servant doesn’t tell the master what to do. The servant does not choose which tasks to perform for the master, nor does the servant suggest days or times when it would be convenient to serve the master. The servant’s function is to follow instructions. The master, on the other hand, gives directions. The master does not tell the servant to develop a vision that will guide the master. The master is the one with the vision; the servant’s task is to help fulfill the master’s purposes.

We are the servants; God is the Master. We tend to try to reverse this! God’s revelation of Himself, His purposes, and His ways depends directly upon our obedience. He may not reveal today His intentions for the next five years, but He will tell us what our next step should be. As we respond to God’s revelation, He will accomplish what He desires, and He will be the One who receives the glory.

Our fulfillment comes from serving our master.

The world will encourage you to strive for positions of authority and power. God wants you to take the role of a servant. As God’s servant you should have no other agenda than to be obedient to whatever He tells you. God does not need you to dream great dreams for your life, your family, your business, or your church. He simply asks for obedience. He has plans that would dwarf yours in comparison (Eph. 3:20).
