【徒20:24】我却不以性命为念，也不看为宝贵，只要行完我的路程，成就我从主耶稣所领受的职事，证明神恩惠的福音。【Acts20:24】However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.

保罗邀请以弗所教会的长老到米利都，向他们作了最后的嘱咐，要悔改，信靠主耶稣基督，各人都要面对主，跟神交账。Paul invited the elders of the church in Ephesus to Miletus, where he gave them his final exhortation: to repent, trust in the Lord Jesus Christ, and for each person to face the Lord and give an account to God.也表明自己接下来要往耶路撒冷去，心甚迫切，那里充满危险和不确定因素，虽然明知有锁链和患难等着他，但保罗单以父的事为念，把自己的生命置之度外，不看为宝贵，一定要行完他的路程、成就职事、证明福音。He also expressed his urgent intention to go to Jerusalem, despite the dangers and uncertainties ahead. Though he knew prison and hardships awaited him, Paul was solely concerned with the Father's business, considering his life as nothing to him, determined to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given him—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.

使徒保罗是带着异象,使命坚定的往前走，为福音不顾性命，受尽试炼痛苦，几乎连活命的指望都没有了，但他没有违背那从天上来的异象，因为他深知道他蒙召就是为此，Apostle Paul moved forward with vision and unwavering mission, risking his life for the gospel, enduring trials and suffering to the point of almost losing all hope for survival. Yet, he never disobeyed the heavenly vision, because he was fully aware that he was called for this very purpose.这一切都是为见证主的名，为荣耀神而活，他人生的意义和价值都在神那里。他说：无论如何总要救些人，凡我所行的，都是为福音的缘故，为要与人同得这福音的好处。All his actions were to testify to the Lord's name and live for God's glory. His life's meaning and value were found in God. He said, " I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some. I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings.” (1 Corinthians 9:22-23).

正因如此，这些不顾性命的宣教士紧跟随主的步伐，轻看这至暂至轻的苦楚，领受异象，背负使命，把自己当作活祭，For this reason, those missionaries who risk their lives follow the Lord's footsteps closely, considering the temporary and light afflictions as nothing, embracing the vision and carrying out the mission, and offering themselves as living sacrifices.不以自己的性命为念，也不看自己的性命为宝贵，完全倾倒一切把福音传开了，使在咒诅之下的人可以听到这恩惠的福音，脱离黑暗，进入光明。They did not consider their own lives precious, nor did they hold their lives dear. Instead, they poured out everything to spread the gospel so that those under the curse could hear this gracious gospel, escape the darkness, and enter into the light.主啊，我拿什么报答你所赐的一切厚恩呢？惟有将生命献上，行活人之道，回报主恩。Lord, how can I repay You for all the abundant grace You have given me? I can only offer my life, living in a way that honors You, to repay Your grace.

是的，在耶和华眼中看圣民之死极为宝贵，主耶稣如此，保罗如此，多少宣教士如此，为着神的国，救他人不救自己，只愿主的旨意成就，给我们做了榜样。Indeed, in the eyes of the Lord, the death of His saints is precious. The Lord Jesus, Paul, and countless missionaries lived this way, sacrificing themselves for God's kingdom and the salvation of others, not for their own sake but to fulfill the Lord's will. They have set an example for us.

何等恩典，得蒙拯救，白白的得来也要白白的给出去，定意效仿跟随不爱自己，只爱你和你的命令，见证基督，抢救灵魂，奔跑在这爱的路程里，你的名被高举，都被主爱吸引，追求上好的生命荣耀主名。What grace it is to be saved; freely we received, and freely we give. We are determined to imitate and follow, not loving ourselves but only loving You and Your commandments. We testify to Christ, rescuing souls, and running this journey of love. Your name is exalted, and all are drawn by the Lord's love, pursuing this life to glorify Your name. (郭姊妹Sister Guo)
