我們有這寶貝放在瓦器里,要顯明這莫大的能力是出於神,不是出於我們。我們四面受敵,卻不被困住;心裡作難,卻不至失望;遭逼迫,卻不被丟棄;打倒了,卻不至死亡。身上常帶着耶穌的死,使耶穌的生也顯明在我們身上。
哥林多後書 4:7-10
耶穌是我們的寶貝。祂是我們的富裕、我們的財富,比地上任何事物更有價值。耶穌說……
當你認為我是你最珍貴的財產時,你就會藉著十一奉獻,並且好像你在幫助我那樣周濟窮人,將你的資源傾入天堂的銀行賬戶里。我渴望你能看透這世界所看重膚淺的財富。去找到貴重的珍珠,當你在愛里與其他信徒緊密團結在一起時,就有在我裡面的聰明、智慧和知識的充分確據了……
1108 JESUS is our TREASURE
JESUS is our TREASURE. He is our wealth, our riches, of greater value than any earthly thing. JESUS says…
When you consider Me to be your most valuable possession, then you will pour your resources into a heavenly bank account by tithing and giving to the poor as if you were helping Me. I desire you to see through the superficial treasures valued by the world. Find the pearl of great price; the full assurance of understanding, wisdom, and knowledge in Me as you are knit together in love with fellow-believers…
“But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the surpassing greatness of the power may be of God and not from ourselves; we are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing; persecuted but not forsaken… always carrying about in the body the dying of Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body.”
2 Corinthians 4:7-10
