「因為我們這活著的人，是常為耶穌被交于死地，使耶穌的生，在我們這必死的身上顯明出來。」（林后   4:11   新國際版）

上面的經文是什么意思呢？這句話很簡單的說明，只有當我倚靠主時，我才能有所行動。我會發現自己的殘缺不逮。我不敢因著已有的一點力量而擅自舉步。亞當因著吃了禁果，他就有了天然的能力去行動做事，但這不過是落在撒但權勢里的一种能力。當你認識主，你就會失掉這個能力。你現在是借著「另一個」生命而生活，并且從祂那里支取了一切。

哦，朋友們！我想我們都有几分認識自己，但許多時候，我們并不實實在在的對自己感到恐懼。我們也許會在禮貌上對神說：「主若不愿意，我是不能做的。」可是實際上，我們卻相當肯定自己能夠做得不錯！我們常會被人、事、物所牽引而去做決定、去行動、或去運用祂以外的能力。因為「己」在我們里面長得太大了，以致基督在我們身上顯得太小了。愿神赦免我們。

"For we the living are always delivered to death for Jesus' sake, that the life of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal body" (2 Corinthians 4:11 NIV)

What does the above scripture mean? This sentence simply means that only when I trust in the Lord can I act. I will discover my inadequacy. I dare not take a step because of the little strength I have. Because Adam ate the forbidden fruit, he had the natural ability to act and do things, but this was just an ability that fell under the influence of Satan. When you know the Lord, you lose this ability. You are now living through "another" life and claiming everything from Him.

oh friends! I think we all know ourselves a little bit, but a lot of the time, we're not really afraid of ourselves. We may politely say to God, "I can't do it if the Lord doesn't want to." But in reality, we're pretty sure we can do a good job! We are often drawn by people, things, and things to make decisions, to act, or to use abilities other than Him. Because the "self" grows too large in us, Christ appears too small in us. May God forgive us.
