Reach Out With The Gospel
传福音

Colossians 4
歌罗西书4章

3 At the same time pray for us, too, that God will open a door [of opportunity] to us for the word, to proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I have been imprisoned; 4 that I may make it clear [and speak boldly and unfold the mystery] in the way I should.
5 Conduct yourself with wisdom in your interactions with outsiders (non-believers), make the most of each opportunity [treating it as something precious]. 6 Let your speech at all times be gracious and pleasant, seasoned with salt, so that you will know how to answer each one [who questions you].
3也要为我们祷告,求神给我们开传道的门,能以讲基督的奥秘(我为此被捆锁),4叫我按着所该说的话将这奥秘发明出来。5你们要爱惜光阴,用智慧与外人交往。6你们的言语要常常带着和气,好像用盐调和,就可知道该怎样回答各人。

1 Thessalonians 3
帖撒罗尼迦前书3章

Finally, brothers and sisters, pray continually for us that the word of the Lord will spread rapidly and be honored [triumphantly celebrated and glorified], just as it was with you;
最后,弟兄姊妹们,要不断地 为我们祷告,愿主的话语迅速传播,并被荣耀[凯旋颂扬和荣耀],就像它在你们身上一样;

We often hear of an opportunity economy, every political statement from whichever party you listen to, says, we are here to create opportunities for people.
我们常常听说机会经济,无论你听哪个政党的政治言论,都会说,我们在此是为民众创造机会的。

As Christians, we have constant opportunities to share the gospel, we are called to reach out and tell people thee wonderful news of salvation through faith in Christ alone.
作为基督徒,我们一直都有分享福音的机会。我们蒙召去接触他人,并告诉人们那美妙的消息,即唯独靠着对基督的信仰才能获得救赎。

Every day we meet many people who seem ok on the outside, but in reality are in deep pain. God brings people across our path every single day, he gives us opportunities to share the gospel, whether by words or Christlike actions.
每天我们都会遇见许多表面看上去还行,但实际上内心深处正饱受痛苦的人。上帝每天都会让形形色色的人出现在我们的生活道路上,他给予我们分享福音的机会,无论是通过言语,还是通过效仿基督的行为(来进行分享)。

Look at verse 5 and 6 of Colossians 4, we have to treat every person, we talk to or meet as a precious opportunity. Every person is different, they are unique, they will all different needs, but God will bring people across your path, who you are able to share your testimony and life story with us.
看看《歌罗西书》第4章的第5节和第6节,我们必须把每一个与我们交谈或相遇的人都当作宝贵的机会来看待。每个人都是不同的,他们独一无二,都有着不同的需求,但上帝会让一些人出现在你的人生道路上,对于这些人,你是能够与他们分享你的见证以及人生经历的。

We do not reach them, just by preaching at them, our words and reactions, are to be seasoned with salt. Are our words gracious and pleasant? Do your words and actions drive people away or draw them nearer to Christ?
我们不能仅仅靠对他们进行说教来影响他们,我们所说的话以及做出的反应都应当是“用盐调和”的(即要有智慧、合宜得体)。我们说的话是否亲切友善、令人愉悦呢?我们的言行是会把人赶走,还是会吸引他们更靠近基督呢?

In letter Q, we talked about being ready to answer people about your faith. I often remember, sharing the gospel and the person concerned just didn’t get it, however simple I made it and how many times I explained it. Remember that once you didn’t get it once, so be patient and gracious.
在字母Q里,我们谈到了要准备好向人们阐述你的信仰。我常常记得,在分享福音的时候,相关的人就是理解不了,无论我把内容讲得多么简单,也无论我解释了多少遍。要记住,你自己也曾有过理解不了的时候,所以要有耐心,要亲切友善。

Sharing the gospel is the most amazing privilege, Jesus reached down and then he reached out, to the poor, helpless and needy.
分享福音是最了不起的特权,耶稣俯就众人,然后向那些贫穷的、无助的以及有需要的人伸出援手。

We are to be to be ready to reach out to a needy world, God will bring people across our path, who we can share with.
我们应当准备好向这个有诸多需求的世界伸出援手,上帝会让一些人出现在我们的人生道路上,而对于这些人,我们可以与他们分享。

Pray that every day, God will give you doors of opportunity and when he does, seize the opportunity and reach out with Christ’s love.
每天都为此祷告,祈求上帝为你开启机会之门,而当他这样做时,要抓住机会,带着基督的爱去伸出援手。

A final illustration, years ago in the park, I met a Chinese man, who spoke good English, he was fascinated by me, being English. But what we started talking about was not spiritual, it was Henry the eighth and his six wives, then we moved onto spiritual things.
最后举个例子,多年前在公园里,我遇到一位中文说得很好的中国男士,他对我是英国人这件事很感兴趣。但我们一开始聊的话题并不是属灵方面的,而是亨利八世以及他的六位妻子,之后我们才开始聊到属灵的话题上。

That my friend, it is reaching out and taking every opportunity.
我的朋友,这就是主动伸出援手并抓住每一个机会。

Be part of God’s opportunity outreach!
成为上帝向外拓展机会的一部分!

God bless you
上帝祝福你
