「愿頌贊歸与我們主耶穌基督的父神。」（彼前1:3）

 

彼得或保羅的書信中，都有這些稱頌的話，表面上，詞句似乎都差不多，但這些話的背后卻在不知不覺間，流露出兩人截然不同的性格。而神也容許這些個人的成份揉合到這些信息里面，為什么呢！因為關鍵不在乎我們講些什么，而是在乎我們實際上為人如何。 

是的，我們蒙托付傳揚祂的信息，但我們委實沒有任何一個人真正夠得上是神的代言人，因為在釋放祂的話語時，我們無法避免不摻入一些我們個人的成份。有時我們的确傳了一篇很好的信息。但我們在不知不覺間總有一兩句帶著自己成份的話語夾雜進去，這就可能或是加強，或是推翻整篇信息。「人心里所充滿的，口里就說出來。」我們這個人究竟是謙卑抑或傲慢，經過十架的破碎抑或是完整未受對付，本相如何，終必被揭露，因為神不能使用粉墨登場的表演者，我們的靈如何，必從我們的話語中流露出來！

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ." (1 Peter 1:3)

Peter and Paul praise God in their books which have the same words. On the outward, their words and sentences are looking similar, but behind these words, there are unconsciously revealed the completely different personalities of the two. But God allows that happened, why! Because the point is not what we preach, but what we actually walk with Him.

Yes, we have been entrusted with proclaiming His message, but none ofus really qualify as God's true servant, because we cannot help to avoid putting some thoughts of ourselves into our preaching His Gospel. Sometimes we do preach a good message. But we unconsciously always have some of the words from our own hearts, which may either strengthen or damage the entire message. "Out of our abundance of the mind, we speaks." Whether we are humble or arrogant, whether we have been broken by the cross or remain the same old nature will be revealed at the end, because God cannot use the person who is appearing on the stage to play his part.  God’s servants , what we preach out, must be according to our spiritual mind.  That is for sure.
