以言语和行动分享福音
耶稣叫门徒们过来，赐给他们所需的一切，在城镇乡村为祂事奉。祂使他们能传讲神国的道，四处医治病人。要完成这个使命，门徒们不必带任何其他东西。祂差派他们出去，并指示他们要接受人们的款待，当作神对他们的供应。他们住在接待他们的人家里，与他们建立关系，并满足于所得的一切。但一旦被拒绝了，他们就继续行路，并针对人们拒绝真理给出警告。他们要继续行路，因为时间短暂，任务很艰巨。
耶稣的事工仍是有关言语和行为的。我们被赋予了在这些关键领域服事的权利和能力。这一信息是强有力的，我们必须对一个需要听见福音的世界说出话语，并带着怜悯的行动。但是，如果没有透过帮助并满足人们的需要来显出神的爱，去教导神爱世人是没有意义的。
我们拥有所需的一切去完成基督门徒的使命。让我们忠实地以言语和行动分享祂的信息吧。愿我们相信圣灵强大的工作果效。
父啊，求祢使我们对祢赐给我们的使命有热情。引导我们忠实于祢所赐的福音和新生命，与他人分享祢的爱。阿们。
路加福音 9:1-9
1 耶稣叫齐了十二个门徒，给他们能力、权柄制伏一切的鬼，医治各样的病，
2 又差遣他们去宣传神国的道、医治病人，
3 对他们说：“行路的时候不要带拐杖和口袋，不要带食物和银子，也不要带两件褂子。
4 无论进哪一家，就住在那里，也从那里起行。
5 凡不接待你们的，你们离开那城的时候，要把脚上的尘土跺下去，见证他们的不是。”
6 门徒就出去，走遍各乡宣传福音，到处治病。
7 分封的王希律听见耶稣所做的一切事，就游移不定，因为有人说是约翰从死里复活，
8 又有人说是以利亚显现，还有人说是古时的一个先知又活了。
9 希律说：“约翰我已经斩了，这却是什么人，我竟听见他这样的事呢？”就想要见他。
The Gospel In Word And Deed
He told them: “Take nothing for the journey—no staff, no bag, no bread, no money, no extra shirt.” — Luke 9:3
God has called you for a mission, and he has equipped you with everything you need to carry it out.
When Jesus called the disciples, he gave them all they needed to minister on his behalf in the towns and villages. He enabled them to preach the kingdom of God and heal people everywhere. There was no need to bring anything else along to complete that mission. He sent them with instructions to accept people’s hospitality as God’s provision for them. They were to stay with people who received them, developing relationships and being content with what they were given. But if rejection happened, they were to move on, warning people about rejecting the truth. They had to move on because time was short and the mission was great.
Jesus’ ministry is still about word and deed. We have been empowered to serve in these critical areas. The message is powerful, and our words must be spoken with acts of compassion for a world that needs to hear the good news. But to teach that God loves sinners means little if we do not also show God’s love by helping to meet human needs.
We have all that we need to fulfill our calling as Christ-followers. Let’s be faithful in sharing his message with words and actions. And let’s trust the results to the powerful work of the Holy Spirit.
Father, make us passionate about the mission you have given us. Guide us to be faithful with the good news and the new life you have given us, sharing your love with others. Amen.
