保罗被称为是“外邦人的使徒”,把福音传到以色列以外的外邦人,在各处建立教会。Paul is known as the “apostle to the Gentiles.” He brought the gospel beyond Israel to the Gentiles and established churches in many places. 但保罗说,“除了基督借我的做的那些事,我什么都不敢提”。Yet Paul said, “I will not venture to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me.” 他不敢有任何的自我夸耀,因为真知道那是神借着他做事,He did not dare to boast about himself, because he truly knew that it was God working through him. 不是自己,而是基督所作成的,自己不过是仆人,能力全在乎耶稣基督。It was not his own doing, but the work accomplished by Christ. He was merely a servant, and all the power came from Jesus Christ.
我们原本是卖给罪的,是无用的。We were originally sold to sin and were useless. 神有大能成就祂的旨意与计划,可是神却愿意住在人里面,使我们有份于祂,成为祂荣耀的管道。God has the power to accomplish His will and plan, yet He is willing to dwell in us, allowing us to partake in Him and become vessels of His glory. 借着保罗的言语作为,他所传讲的福音和生命的见证,彰显出圣灵——神自己,Through Paul’s words and actions, through the gospel he preached and the testimony of his life, the Holy Spirit—God Himself—was revealed. 行神迹的超自然能力,使人真知道神是真的,使人归服于神。The supernatural power of miracles showed that God is real, leading people to truly know Him and submit to Him.
保罗真知道神是谁,自己是谁,他活出不再是自己,而是让位给基督,高举耶稣,让基督在里面活的生命。Paul truly knew who God is and who he himself was. He no longer lived for himself but gave way to Christ, exalting Jesus and allowing Christ to live through him. 神的能力借着一个完全奉献,无有自己的人彰显,使外邦人顺服,归向神的国度。God’s power was manifested through someone who was fully surrendered and had nothing of his own, leading the Gentiles to obedience and to turn to God’s kingdom. 主啊,求你赦免我,要么靠自己行事,想高举荣耀自己;要么坐等神迹发生,不肯付代价…Lord, please forgive me—for either relying on my own strength, seeking to exalt and glorify myself, or passively waiting for miracles without being willing to pay the price…
主,惟有你配得一切的荣耀和赞美!Lord, You alone are worthy of all glory and praise! 你从死里复活,赐下圣灵在我们这瓦器里,彰显出神莫大的能力,是借着人的信靠和顺服。You rose from the dead and gave us the Holy Spirit, placing Him within these jars of clay, to reveal the surpassing power of God—through our faith and obedience. 主,帮助我们更多谦卑、否定自己,高举耶稣基督,Lord, help us to humble ourselves more, deny ourselves, and exalt Jesus Christ. 使我们的言语作为,被圣灵更新,顺服真理,与神同工,使神的能力彰显,使外邦人归向你,使荣耀归于你!May our words and actions be renewed by the Holy Spirit, obedient to the truth, and working together with God, so that His power may be revealed, the Gentiles may turn to You, and all glory may be given to You!(付传道Pastor Fu)
