【罗15:1】我们坚固的人应该担代不坚固人的软弱，不求自己的喜悦。【Rom15:1】We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves.

在神的家中，有信心坚固的人，也有信心软弱的人。真正属灵上坚固的人，不是站在高位论断、轻看弟兄，而是担代人的软弱，不求自己的喜悦，为叫身边的人得益处，被建立。In God’s house, there are those with strong faith and those with weak faith. A truly spiritually mature person does not place themselves above others to judge or look down on their brothers and sisters. Instead, they bear with the weaknesses of others, do not seek their own pleasure, and work to benefit and build up those around them.因为基督也不求自己的喜悦，担当我们的软弱，背负我们的痛苦，代替我们受死，使我们得着拯救。For Christ did not seek his own pleasure either, but bore our weaknesses, carried our pain, and died for us so that we could be saved.

耶稣是最坚固的人，却靠近最软弱的人。祂用手触摸麻风病人；与税吏同坐席；在正午把活水赐给撒玛利亚妇人；不定罪行淫的女人…Jesus is the strongest man, yet He draws near to the weakest. He touched the lepers with His hands. He sat with the tax collectors. He gave living water to the Samaritan woman at midday. He did not condemn the woman caught in adultery.三年之久，门徒看了许多神迹，却常常不明白，耶稣虽有责备，仍然一次次教导；彼得三次不认主，耶稣早已为他祈求，叫他不至于失了信心…For three years, the disciples witnessed many miracles, yet often did not understand. Although Jesus rebuked them, He continued to teach them again and again. Peter denied the Lord three times—but Jesus had already prayed for him, so that his faith would not fail...

因这份爱，彼得的软弱变为刚强，他回头以后，成为坚固弟兄的人，最后倒钉十字架。保罗曾逼迫神的子民，遇见耶稣后，他也曾经历软弱，却得着基督的能力，成为刚强，坚固教会众人。Because of this love, Peter’s weakness was turned into strength. After he turned back, he became someone who strengthened his brothers, and in the end, was crucified upside down. Paul once persecuted God’s people, but after encountering Jesus, he too experienced weakness. Yet he received the power of Christ and was made strong, building up the Church.主，你的爱是何等伟大，使软弱的人生命翻转。救恩就这样代代相传，使万国万民都归神的国度。Lord, your love is so great—it can turn the lives of the weak around. In this way, salvation has been passed down from generation to generation, so that all nations and peoples may return to the kingdom of God.

圣灵，求你更新我们，定睛注视耶稣，刚强的时候，更加谦卑、舍己、爱人，以你的心为心，去担代不坚固人的软弱；Holy Spirit, please renew us. Keep our eyes fixed on Jesus. When we are strong, may we be even more humble, selfless, and loving—taking your heart as our own and bearing the weaknesses of the weak.软弱的时候，否定自己，脱离自我中心，转向耶稣死里复活的能力，成为刚强！主啊，帮助我们，彼此建立，彼此同心，彼此接纳，成就你的旨意在全地上！When we are weak, help us to deny ourselves, break free from self-centredness, and turn to the power of Jesus’ resurrection—so that we may be made strong.Lord, help us to build one another up, be of one mind, accept one another, and fulfil your will across the whole earth!（付传道Pastor Fu）
