分裂的力量

"... 我們服事主，就沒有資格追逐權力，沒有權利渴求聲望，也沒有理由自高自大、自吹自擂。如果我們能以耶穌為中心，在幕後安靜地服事，豈不是更好？耶穌是我們的榜樣：「人子來不是要受人的服事，乃是要服事人。」（馬太福音20章28節） 你是牧師？是老師？是執事？是宣教士？還是會友？倘若你追逐權力，或許你能夠得到，但這種權力會成為破壞教會事工的力量。..."

Very touched and impressed by Lord Jesus's words that He came to serve, not to be served! How wonderful it would be if we could all keep this in heart, yet how hard it is very hard to do. We are living in a fallen world and identify ourselves with many of the "worldly values". Perhaps one can ask how valuable one is, instead of how successful one has been. Can one be very successful but be of no value in the eyes of God?
