2022-11-17 “Being Accepted by Christ Let Us Accept One Another Bringing Praise to Him”(Romans 15:7-9)

Being Accepted by Christ Let Us Accept One Another Bringing Praise to Him既蒙基督接納,就讓我們彼此接納,使榮耀歸於祂“(Romans 羅馬書 15:7-9)

Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God. For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the Jews on behalf of God’s truth, so that the promises made to the patriarchs might be confirmed and, moreover, that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. …

因此,你們應當彼此接納,就像基督接納了你們一樣,使榮耀歸於神。我說,基督為了神的真理,成了受割禮的人的僕人,為的是要證實對祖先的應許,使外族人因著所蒙的憐憫榮耀神;…

Instead of letting those issues about disputable things divide Christians (especially making a division between Jew and Gentile), we should accept one another just as Christ accepted us in terms of pure grace, knowing yet bearing with our faults. In loving condescension covering our faults, and seeking our good, Christ welcomed us to His heart; so, in the same way, and with the same purpose, let us accept one another.

我們不要讓那些有關爭議之事的問題分裂基督徒(特別是在猶太人和外邦人之間製造分裂),反而理應彼此接納,就像基督接納了我們一樣,按照純粹恩典的說法,雖知道我們的過錯卻還是擔代。基督以仁愛的屈尊俯就,遮蓋我們的過錯,並尋求我們的益處,真心歡迎我們;因此,讓我們以同樣的方式,有著同樣的目的去彼此接納。

Prayer: Gracious and loving God, many people often think that you see colour; you only see the heart. You do not see economic status; you only see the heart. You do not see nationality or ethnic group; you only see the heart. May the love of Lord Jesus prompt us to love and accept one another witnessing that we are His beloved disciples following His will and His feet. Amen.

禱告: 滿有恩惠和仁愛的神啊,許多人往往以為你看人底細;你只看人心。你不看經濟上的身分;你只看人心。你不看國籍和種族;你只看人心。願主耶穌的愛激厲我們彼此相愛,彼此接納,見證我們是蒙祂所愛的門徒,跟隨祂的旨意、祂的腳踪。阿們。
