Jan 11【每日活水】靠神所赐的丰盛恩典服事

以弗所书3：14～21

明白基督的爱

14 因此，我在父面前屈膝，（
15 天上地上的各家，都是从他得名。）
16 求他按着他丰盛的荣耀，藉着他的灵，叫你们心里的力量刚强起来，
17 使基督因你们的信，住在你们心里，叫你们的爱心有根有基，
18 能以和众圣徒一同明白基督的爱是何等长阔高深，
19 并知道这爱是过于人所能测度的，便叫　神一切所充满的，充满了你们。
20 　神能照着运行在我们心里的大力充充足足地成就一切，超过我们所求所想的。 21但愿他在教会中，并在基督耶稣里，得着荣耀，直到世世代代，永永远远。阿们！

A Prayer for the Ephesians

14 For this reason I kneel before the Father,
15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name.
16 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being,
17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love,
18 may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ,
19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us,
21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

灵修指南

在这段经文中，保罗说神是使天上地上的各家都从祂得名的神(14~15节)，显明神是如此伟大又充满权能。保罗借此宣告神的权柄之后，就为三件事恳求神：一是求神使以弗所教会信徒内在的生命强壮起来(16节)；二是求神使基督的爱住在他们心里(17节)；三是求神使他们充满神一切的丰盛(19节)。因为唯有当信徒不倚靠自己的能力和经验，而是单单靠着神所赐的丰盛恩典，才能成全神的心意并荣耀祂。盼望今天我们也能被主所赐的丰盛恩典充满，以致荣耀祂的名。

内室祷告

愿我倚靠神所赐的丰盛思典，成为荣耀祂名的门徒。
