2026-03-02 Day 13 Act 6:1-15 守住神的道,在分工中順服

Rev Xi An Poon

昨日我們讀到,使徒被公會鞭打、恐嚇,卻「心裏歡喜,因被算是配為這名受辱」,並且「每日在殿裏、在家裏,不住地教訓人,傳耶穌是基督。」(徒5:41–42)就在這樣忠心不退縮的光景中,第六章一開始說:「那時,門徒增多。」

當人專心於神的託付,神就使生命增長。但當人增多,聲音也增多;當事工擴展,張力也出現。希利尼的寡婦在供給上被忽略,教會第一次面對內部結構與屬靈核心如何平衡的問題。今天,我們從三點來整理自己的心。

第一,守住核心,才是真正的合理

「我們撇下神的道去管理飯食,原是不合宜的。」(徒6:2)

管理飯食重要嗎?當然重要。但若因此離開神給使徒的核心託付——祈禱與傳道——那才是真正的不對齊。增長不是靠忙碌,而是靠對齊。今天,我是否因為忙碌的事務,而讓禱告與神的話退到次位?是否因為解決問題,而失去與神的連結?

第二,生命真實,才配被託付

「當從你們中間選出七個有好名聲、被聖靈充滿、智慧充足的人。」(徒6:3)

好名聲,不是人前表現,而是人前人後一致。被聖靈充滿,不是情緒高昂,而是生命受神管理。智慧充足,是在複雜中仍能對齊神的心。神揀選人,不是看舞台,而是看生命。今天,我是否渴望顯眼的位置,卻忽略內在的塑造?是否願意在不被看見之處,仍然忠心?

第三,順服職分,神就釋放能力

「司提反滿得恩惠能力,在民間行了大奇事和神蹟。」(徒6:8)

司提反原本被選來管理飯食。但當他忠心在被指派的位置上,神的能力就在他身上流動。能力,不從位置來,而從順服來。今天,我是否在神給我的職分中甘心順服?是否相信神能在我所站立之處,釋放祂的恩典?

總結

第五章是逼迫,第六章是增長,教會前進,不是沒有張力,而是在張力中對齊核心。當我們守住神的道,當我們在分工中順服,神的工作就繼續往前。

讓我們安靜片刻,向主回應:

主啊,若我因忙碌偏離核心,求祢調整我。若我渴望顯眼多於真實,求祢光照我。若我在職分中有不甘心,求祢更新我。願我在祢所安排的位置上忠心,願祢的能力,在順服中彰顯。奉主耶穌基督的名,阿們。

使徒行傳 6

1 那時,門徒增多,有說希臘話的猶太人向希伯來人發怨言,因為在天天的供給上忽略了他們的寡婦。 2 十二使徒叫眾門徒來,對他們說:「我們撇下神的道去管理飯食,原是不合宜的。 3 所以弟兄們,當從你們中間選出七個有好名聲、被聖靈充滿、智慧充足的人,我們就派他們管理這事。 4 但我們要專心以祈禱、傳道為事。」 5 大眾都喜悅這話,就揀選了司提反,乃是大有信心、聖靈充滿的人;又揀選腓利、伯羅哥羅、尼迦挪、提門、巴米拿,並進猶太教的安提阿人尼哥拉。 6 叫他們站在使徒面前,使徒禱告了,就按手在他們頭上。

7 神的道興旺起來,在耶路撒冷門徒數目加增的甚多,也有許多祭司信從了這道。

8 司提反滿得恩惠、能力,在民間行了大奇事和神蹟。 9 當時有稱「利百地拿」會堂的幾個人,並有古利奈、亞歷山大、基利家、亞細亞各處會堂的幾個人,都起來和司提反辯論。 10 司提反是以智慧和聖靈說話,眾人抵擋不住。 11 就買出人來說:「我們聽見他說謗讟摩西和神的話。」

12 他們又聳動了百姓、長老並文士,就忽然來捉拿他,把他帶到公會去, 13 設下假見證說:「這個人說話不住地糟踐聖所和律法。 14 我們曾聽見他說,這拿撒勒人耶穌要毀壞此地,也要改變摩西所交給我們的規條。」 15 在公會裡坐著的人都定睛看他,見他的面貌好像天使的面貌。

Acts 6

1 Now in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplying, there arose a complaint against the Hebrews by the Hellenists, because their widows were neglected in the daily distribution. 2 Then the twelve summoned the multitude of the disciples and said, “It is not desirable that we should leave the word of God and serve tables. 3 Therefore, brethren, seek out from among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business; 4 but we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word.”

5 And the saying pleased the whole multitude. And they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit, and Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas, a proselyte from Antioch, 6 whom they set before the apostles; and when they had prayed, they laid hands on them.

7 Then the word of God spread, and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests were obedient to the faith.

8 And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and signs among the people. 9 Then there arose some from what is called the Synagogue of the Freedmen (Cyrenians, Alexandrians, and those from Cilicia and Asia), disputing with Stephen. 10 And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spoke. 11 Then they secretly induced men to say, “We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and God.” 12 And they stirred up the people, the elders, and the scribes; and they came upon him, seized him, and brought him to the council. 13 They also set up false witnesses who said, “This man does not cease to speak blasphemous words against this holy place and the law; 14 for we have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place and change the customs which Moses delivered to us.” 15 And all who sat in the council, looking steadfastly at him, saw his face as the face of an angel.
