What Are You Full Of?

你被什么充满？

This passage speaks of a man by the name of Stephen, whom the Apostles appointed to be a Deacon in the early church. Stephen is a beautiful and glorious illustration of what each Christian should be known for being full of faith and the Holy Spirit. To be full means to be “under the influence.” Stephen was influenced by his faith and the Holy Spirit. This resulted in two divine attributes: 1) The ability to perform great wonders, and 2) Divine wisdom that gave him the ability to use the scriptures to defend the message of the gospel against those who sought to attack it.

这段经文谈到一个名叫司提反的人，使徒任命他为早期教会的执事。司提反是一个出色而且值得称道的例子，说明每个基督徒都应该知道…充满信心和圣灵。充满意味着“在影响之下”，司提反受到他的信仰和圣灵的影响。这导致了两种神圣的属性:1)创造神迹奇事的能力，和2)属天的智慧，这种智慧使他能够使用圣经来捍卫福音的要旨，针对那些试图攻击它的人。

When the enemies of Christ could not withstand the wisdom that was in Stephen, they decided to silence him by taking his life. Stephen is the first martyr of the church, and while he may not have lived a long life, his legacy is one of faithfulness, compassion for his enemies and a profound love for Jesus Christ.

当基督的敌人不能抵御司提反的智慧时，他们决定取他的命来让他闭嘴。司提反是教会的第一位殉道者，虽然他可能活得不长，但他的遗产是信实、对敌人的同情和对耶稣基督意义非凡的爱。

As believers, we have the choice of being full of the Spirit, or full of ourselves. Here is the thing: When we are filled with the Holy Spirit, there is an abundance of joy and peace. When we are full of ourselves, there is an emptiness, a void, that leaves us frustrated and defeated. The good news is that what Stephen was full of, is available to us. God’s Spirit is still the same! His power is still the same!

作为信徒，我们可以选择充满圣灵，或者充满我们自己。事情是这样的:当我们被圣灵充满时，就会有丰盛的喜乐和平安。当我们充满自我时，徒劳和空虚感让我们沮丧和失败。好消息是司提反所充满的我们也能获得。神的圣灵依旧！他的力量还是一样！

So, what are you full of? Let’s be full of what Stephen was full of, because when we are, no one will be able to stand against us.

那么，你充满了什么？让我们充满司提反所充满的，因为当我们充满时，没有人能在我们面前站立得住。

God bless you

上帝祝福你
