前言PREFACE: 今天的信息, 將發現在早期跟隨耶穌之保羅先生是位偉大傳教士和早期教會神學家。就是, 非常容易忽略了保羅先生與我們同樣有日常經濟上之需要。保羅是如何付出他的伙食、住宿和旅行呢?他又如何付錢買書和其他呢?

We will discover the apostle Paul was a great missionary and theologian in the early church. Yet, it is easy to overlook the fact that Paul had the same daily financial concerns as we do. How did Paul pay for his food, lodgings, and travel? How did he afford his books and others?

上週Last Week：我們發現跟隨耶穌的生命是謙恭、感恩、非自大或自跨。We examined that the life of the follower of Jesus is marked by humble thanksgiving, not arrogant boasting

這週This Week：我們將看到、我們與其他基督徒同工分享之重要性。

     We will explore the importance of the partnerships we share with other believers.

1.     喜樂之泉源Source of Joy: 經文 Scriptures reading: 腓立比書Philippians 1:3-6, 我每逢想念你們、就感謝我的　神．（每逢為你們眾人祈求的時候、常是歡歡喜喜的祈求）因為從頭一天直到如今、你們是同心合意的興旺福音。我深信那在你們心裏動了善工的、必成全這工、直到耶穌基督的日子．In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.  

解經Commentary from N.I.V.p.2545 & 靈修版535頁:

V.4, “每當保羅為了腓立比信徒禱告時，就令他喜樂和感恩，因為他們為了基督之緣故幫助保羅。神要他們做的事情，腓立比信徒都願意讓神使用。當別人想起您，他們會想到和事呢? 他們會因想起您而喜樂嗎? 您的行為能令別人得幫助嗎?The Philippians were remembered with joy and thanksgiving whenever Paul prayed. By helping Paul, they were helping Christ’s cause. The Philippians were willing to be used by God for whatever he wanted them to do. When others think about you, what comes to their minds? Are you remembered with hoy by them? Do your acts of kindness lift up others?

V. 5, 保羅說腓立比人 “同心合意的興旺福音”，是肯定了他們對傳福音的寶貴貢獻。保羅在腓立比時，他們給保羅以實際之幫助; 保羅坐牢時，他們又給他以經濟上的幫助，使他們成為保羅之伙伴。當我們藉禱告、關懷和經濟支援去幫助我們所派出的教牧、宣教士、傳道人時，我們就成為他們的伙伴了。When Paul said that the Philippians were partners in the gospel, he was pointing out their valuable contribution in spreading God’s message. They contributed through their practical help when Paul was in Philippi; and through their financial support when Paul was in prison. As we help our ministers, missionaries, and evangelists through prayer, hospitality, and financial donations, we become partners with them.

 

 

2.  福音之同工Partners in the Gospel: 經文 Scriptures reading: Philippians 1:7-8, 我為你們眾人有這樣的意念、原是應當的．因為你們常在我心裡、無論我是在捆鎖之中、是辯明證實福音的時候、你們都與我一同得恩。我體會基督耶穌的心腸、切切的想念你們眾人．這是　神可以給我作見證的。It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart; for whether I am in chains or defending and confirming the gospel, all of you share in God's grace with me. God can testify how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.

解經Commentary from N.I.V.p.2546 & 靈修版535頁:

保羅可望與腓立比信徒見面，就好像您希望與好朋友見面同樣，他對他們的愛和感情，不只是建立在以前的交往上，更見基於信徒因基督的愛而合一的基礎上。 所有基督徒都是神家的成員，都有祂的愛而改變您能有份分享神的愛，讓基督的愛激勵您去愛其他基督徒，用行動表達您對他們的愛。

Paul had a longing to see the Christians at Philippi, His love and affection for them was based not merely on past experiences, but also on the unity that comes when believers draw upon Christ’s love. All Christians are part of God’s family and thus share equally in the transforming power of his love. Let Christ’s love motivate you to love other Christians and to express that love in your actions toward them.

3.     Partnership經文 Scriptures reading: Philippians 4:14-19, 然而你們和我同受患難、原是美事。腓立比人阿、你們也知道我初傳福音、離了馬其頓的時候、論到授受的事、除了你們以外、並沒有別的教會供給我．就是我在帖撒羅尼迦、你們也一次兩次的、打發人供給我的需用。

    我並不求甚麼餽送、所求的就是你們的果子漸漸增多、多歸在你們的賬上。

    但我樣樣都有、並且有餘．我已經充足、因我從以巴弗提受了你們的餽送、當作極美的香氣、為　神所收納所喜悅的祭物。我的　神必照他榮耀的豐富、在基督耶穌裡、使你們一切所需用的都充足。Yet it was good of you to share in my troubles. Moreover, as you Philippians know, in the early days of your acquaintance with the gospel, when I set out from Macedonia, not one church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving, except you only; for even when I was in Thessalonica, you sent me aid again and again when I was in need. Not that I am looking for a gift, but I am looking for what may be credited to your account. I have received full payment and even more; I am amply supplied, now that I have received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent. They are a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God. And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.  

    解經Commentary: 保羅的最後結束前，再次顯漏出福音之和協像怎樣? 第一、福音分享相互之困難、他們分享身心之困難、他們用耳聽、用手服務同時作工。第二、福音之和協也給於經濟上之扶持在他們須要之時。最後、傳耶穌基督之福音的進行就很是理想，無論氣候、季節之變遷、或搬家都繼續保持連續。

Before the final closing of Paul’s letter, again reveals what a gospel partnership looks like?  First, partners in the gospel share their troubles with one another. They share emotionally and physically. They are a listening ear as well as a helping hand in the work of ministry. Second, partners in the gospel give financially to the work of ministry. They give support when and where it is needed. Finally, there is the idea of an ongoing relationship with all those that are working in spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ. The relationship continues even as seasons change and people move!

 

4. 結論:

1)     喜樂之泉源   

第一、上帝是我們喜樂的來源，無論發生何事我們不必煩惱祂將幫忙完成事工。

第二、因禱告帶有喜樂，大家在相同之目標工作下，帶給很深切關係之滿足感。

第三、 衛斯理學說證明上帝繼續在訓練我們成為有基督之好模範，若我們信服祂。

2)      福音之同工Partners in the Gospel:

為耶穌基督福音的傳播成立團隊、彼此分享困難和需要，並備有一對傾聽之耳朵與相助之雙手。

3)  和協 : 一、同耶穌、與人同工，耶穌基督是我們的目標，祂也是我們的協調者。

          二、 基督徒是基督的身子，也是”恩典之和協”; 為基督的緣故吃苦、辯護、 或堅持福音，我們有耶穌和基督徒聯合之關係，就如保羅在腓立比書一章八節所說，我們變成為可能去愛別人如同耶穌愛他們，這也是我們在基督裏有喜樂之原因。

   

4.  CONCLUSION:

1)  Source of Joy:

    First, God is the source of our joy; He will take the project to completion no matter what     happens, people do not have to worry because God is doing the work.

Second, pray always with the same goals that brings a deep satisfaction in relationships.

Finally, the thought of Wesleyan-holiness theology is the thought that God is continuing to make us into a holy people. We become more Christlikeness as we allow God to continue to work on us as we surrender our lives to Him.

2)  Partners in the Gospel: There is the idea of an ongoing relationship with all those that are working in spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ. We as a teamwork can effectively work in spreading the Gospel.  Partners in the gospel share the emotionally 、physically 、financial and other troubles with one another; also we have a listening ear as well as a helping hand in the work of ministry.

3)  Partnership:

First, being “partnerships” binds people not only together to one another, but also to Christ. Christ had been our matchmaker, pulling us together. Christ had been our goal.       

Second, believers, the body of Christ, we are also “partners in grace.” Whether in suffering for the sake of Christ or defending and confirming the gospel, we have a common bond held together by our relationship with Jesus Christ. As Paul wrote in the (Philippians 1:8), it is possible to love others the same as Jesus loves others. This also is a joyful possibility in Christ!
