我们是祂身上的肢体 We Are Members Of His Body

Monday, January 6, 2025

以弗所书 5:29-30 从来没有⼈恨恶⾃⼰的⾝⼦,总是保顾惜,正像基督待教会⼀样,因我们是祂⾝上的肢体 (有古卷加:就是他的骨,他的肉)。(现代标点和合本)
Ephesians 5:29-30 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church. For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones. (NKJV)

我们都会保养顾惜⾝体的各个部位。正像 基督待教会⼀样,因为我们都是祂⾝上的肢体。当主耶稣看到你,看⻅祂肢体的某⼀部分是软弱与缺乏或是⾯临各样挑战 时,你知道主耶稣的感受吗?祂与我们是感同⾝受的,祂不会把你砍了,对你说祂 不要你这个肢体或说你已经不重要了,反⽽祂会保养顾惜你。这就是为什么第三⼗节说“正像基督待教会 ⼀样”。教会是谁?教会就是你。你知道基督会为你做什么吗?今天,如果你感觉很软弱,如果你感到灰⼼失望,如果你觉得⾃⼰⼀⽆是处,⼜或你觉得来教会已有⼀段时间,⽣命仍然没有突破时,不要恨恶你的⾝⼦,如同基督也不恨恶你的⾝ ⼦,祂必供应你。

We take good care of every part of our body, just as Christ does for the church because we are each part of His body. When Jesus sees that a part of your body is weak, or when He sees you facing challenges, do you know how Jesus feels? Jesus feels the same as how we feel about our bodies. He will neither cut you off nor disown you, treating you as unimportant. Instead, He will provide and take good care of you. That is why verse 30 says “just as Christ does for the church”. Who is the church? The church is you. Do you know what Christ will do for you? if you feel weak, if you feel discouraged, if you feel that your life has no purpose or if you are feeling that you could not find a breakthrough despite coming to church for some time, do not hate yourselves, just as Christ does not hate your body, He will provide for you.
