What A Calling
何等的呼召！

Why are we Christians at all?
为什么我们会成为基督徒？

Why are we in the place we are?
为什么我们会身居此处？

Why for example, am I in China?
比如说，为什么我会来中国？

We are Christians, because God has chosen and called us, he has called us to serve him and to be his children.
我们之所以成为基督徒，是因为神选择并呼召了我们，他呼召我们服事他，成为他的儿女。

The reason is His will.
这一切都出于他的旨意。

Paul was a Pharisee, he was an educated man, who didn’t ever imagine, he would be a preacher of the gospel.
保罗曾是一名法利赛人，是个受过教育的人，从未想象过自己会成为福音的传道者。

But he became an apostle, by the WILL OF GOD.

We are, what we are, because of the will of God.
我们成为今天的我们，都是出于神的旨意。

Praise God that he has set you apart and placed you in a unique place.
感谢神，因他将我们分别为圣，并把我们每个人放在一个独特的位置。

To be called a child of God and called into his service, is the highest privilege in the world.
我们被称为神的儿女，并受呼召服事他，这是世上最高的特权。

Let’s never complain of who we are and where we are, because it is by the will of God.
让我们永远不要抱怨我们的身份，我们的处境，因为这一切都是出于神的旨意。
