得著生命的、將要失喪生命,
為我失喪生命的、將要得著生命。
He who wants to keep his life
will have it taken away from him.
He who loses his life because of Me
will have it given back to him. (NLV)
— 馬太福音:十39
在這世上,當人想要得著什麼,無論是工作、財物、權勢、地位、名聲、甚至是愛情,都會按自己所要,切切的渴望、苦苦的追求、緊緊的抓住。但是對於神兒女,我們一定要記得,在神國裡的法則卻是恰恰相反。耶穌提醒我們,若是想要為大、先要學會『謙卑』,若是想要為首、先要學會『服事』,若是想要掌權、先要學會『順服』,若是想要得著、先要學會『給予』,若是想要擁有、先要學會『放手』。今天我們是否願意放下自我,按神心意來行,還是固執己意,到頭來是勞苦愁煩、徒勞無獲、轉眼成空,只留下深深的懊悔嘆息呢⋯?
