“Christianity Is What Christ Says It Is 基督教正是基督所說它是甚麽“（Colossians 歌羅西書 3:1-4）
Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
所以，你們既然與基督一同復活，就應當尋求天上的事，那裡有基督坐在神的右邊。你們要思念的，是天上的事，不是地上的事。因為你們已經死了，你們的生命與基督一同隱藏在神裡面。基督就是你們的生命，他顯現的時候，你們也要和他一同在榮耀裡顯現。
Christianity is what Christ says it is: faith in Christ, trust in His promises and obedience to His commandments, resting down squarely upon the Person of Christ. What He is, what He did and what He is doing provide a full guarantee that the Christian’s hopes are valid. His power becomes operative toward us as we accept His words as final and yield our souls to believe and obey. When Christ arose from death and ascended into heaven He established forever that this world has been condemned to ultimate dissolution, that the human spirit persists beyond the grave and that there is indeed a world to come!
基督教正是基督所說它是甚麽：相信基督，信靠祂的應許，聽從順服祂的命令，踏實地奠基在基督的位格上。祂是怎樣，以及祂昔日所做的事，與現今正做的事都充分地保證了基督徒的盼望是不會落空的。當我們接受他的話語，視它們為最終的依據，並全心順服地相信與服從他，他在我們身上的力量便發揮出來了。基督從死裡復活且升天，他永遠確立了這世界最終必要瓦解；人的靈魂會超越墳墓的限制，長存不滅；另一個世界真的即將來臨！
Prayer: God our Creator, we confess that if we have not acted just as Lord Jesus did when He was resurrected, such as remaining in our ‘tomb’ no more, living our lives to be with and to serve one another with the power and the enabling of the Holy Spirit, recognizing our citizenship in heaven, etc., we would be unconscious of our eternal destiny and might hold our time on earth so lightly that we could become your army deserters. Forgive us and help us to be ready to suffer and even give up any earthly things for Christ’s gospel. Amen.
禱告：神我們的創造主啊，我們承認，若果我們未曾有所行動，好像主耶穌復活後所作的，例如不再停留在自己的「墳墓」裡，活出帶著聖靈的能力和加力而彼此同行服事的生命，認定自己天家的公民身份等等，我們會毫無意識到自己永恆的歸宿，並且或許不會抓緊自己在世上的光陰，使自己成為你的逃兵。求你寬恕我們，並幫助我們為基督的福音，就算要捨棄任何世上的東西，都要作好吃苦的準備。阿們。
