但你們得在基督耶穌裡是本乎神,神又使他成為我們的智慧、公義、聖潔、救贖。——林前1:30
You have your life through Christ Jesus. He showed us God's plan of salvation; he was the one who made us acceptable to God . . . —1 Corinthians 1:30 (TLB)
我越來越開始意識到一個事實:人本身的魅力要比思想觀念更容易改變一個人。人格的魅力很強大,我們可以找到很多例子來證明人格魅力勝於思想觀念,基督教就是這樣的例子。儘管基督教有一套哲學體系,但是基督教的奧秘不單是倫理道德、基督教思想或者哲學觀念,事實上基督教的奧秘是建立在一個人——耶穌基督身上。人們可以發現很多其他的哲學或道德倫理,但是他們無法找到另一個像耶穌基督一樣的人,歷史上沒有人可以與他相比。
More and more I am becoming aware of the truth that people change people as much as ideas change people. The power of personality is strong. One could find many illustrations to prove that often personality is greater than the idea. Such is the case with Christianity. The secret of the power of Christianity is not in its ethics. It is not in Christian ideas or philosophy, although Christianity has a philosophical set of ideas. The secret of Christianity is found in a Person, and that Person is the Lord Jesus Christ. Men have discovered other philosophical and ethical systems, but they have not found another Jesus Christ. No one in history can match Him.
今日禱告:
主耶穌基督,當我向人傳揚你愛的奧秘的時候,求你幫助我隱藏自己的個性展現你的人格魅力。
When I tell others of Your love, help me to hide my personality in Yours, Lord Jesus.
