553   中翻英 (253)          Christians' long longsuffering is for glorious Lord.                                                                           基督徒的歡然受苦, 是為榮耀主的權能.                                                       10/16/2023

十月十六日晨曦默思是說明有基督信仰的人是甘心樂意的為主受苦.

「照著祂榮耀的權能，得以因各樣的大能而堅強，以至達到忍耐并歡然受苦的地步。」（西   1:11  另譯）

使徒的職分是有憑据的。若真正有神的差派，使徒的明證總會昭然若揭。保羅有充分的憑据顯出他是一個真真實實的使徒。他在林后12:11-12說：「我雖算不了什么，卻沒有一件事在那些最大的使徒以下。我在你們中間，用百般的忍耐，借著神跡、奇事、异能，顯出使徒的憑据來。」從上面的話，我們可以推論，忍耐是屬靈能力最首要的證据。處身持續不斷的壓力之下而具有堅強忍受的能力，這一點足以試驗我們是否真正主所差遣的人。忍耐与歡然受苦，只會彰顯在那些認識什么叫作「照著祂榮耀的權能，得以因各樣的大能而堅強」的人中間。

"Being strengthened with all power according to His glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and  joyfully." (Colossians 1:11 NIV)

The minister of the apostles are warranted. If there is truly a mission from God, the evidence of the apostles will always be evident. Paul had ample evidence that he was a true apostle. He said in 2 Corinthians 12:11-12: “For although I am nothing, yet in no way am I inferior to the greatest apostles. I am among you with all longsuffering, through signs, wonders, and miracles will showing the credentials of an apostle." From the above words, we can infer that patience is the most important evidence of spiritual power. The ability to endure under constant pressure is a true test of whether we are truly sent by the Lord. Patience and joyful suffering will only be revealed among those who know what it means to be "strengthened with all power according to His glorious power."
