保罗他自己亲身经历了这蒙召的恩典,也见证了基督的能力和智慧。Paul personally experienced the grace of being called, and he bore witness to the power and wisdom of Christ.他特别的强调真正被神呼召的人,不论背景如何,都会在基督里找到最深的满足。He strongly emphasisedthat those who are truly called by God—regardless of their background—will find their deepest satisfaction in Christ.他们的信和经历会见证基督就是那一切的答案,祂自己就是神的能力,是神的智慧。Their faith and lived experience testify that Christ is the answer to all things. He Himself is the power of God and the wisdom of God.
世人凭自己的智慧就不认识神,这十字架对不信的人是绊脚石、是愚拙,但对那些蒙召的人,却是神的能力、神的智慧!By human wisdom alone, people do not come to know God. To the unbelieving, the cross appears to be a stumbling block—foolishness even. But to those who are called, it is the power of God and the wisdom of God.耶稣被钉十字架,世人看见的好像是祂的失败,但神却借着这看似羞辱的十字架,彰显了祂最深的智慧与最伟大的能力。Jesus was crucified, and to the eyes of the world it seemed like failure. Yet God, through this seemingly shameful cross, revealed His deepest wisdom and greatest power.祂用牺牲打破死亡,用爱胜过仇敌,用顺服成就救恩。He broke the power of death through sacrifice, overcame the enemy through love, and fulfilled salvation through obedience.
主耶稣,我感谢你舍命大爱,你爱我们不爱你自己,救我们不救你自己。Lord Jesus, I thank You for Your self-giving love. You loved us, not Yourself. You chose to save us rather than saving Yourself.你为我受尽苦痛鞭伤,流尽宝血将我赎回。You endured pain, were scourged for my sake, and shed Your precious blood to redeem me.主啊,我是谁,蒙如此恩典,被召进入你的国。Lord, who am I to receive such grace—to be called into Your Kingdom?求主带领我能效仿保罗对你的忠诚,不知道别的,只知道耶稣基督并祂钉十字架,使我的一生也能成为十字架的传达者。Lead me, I pray, to follow the example of Paul in his loyalty to You—knowing nothing except Jesus Christ and Him crucified—so that my whole life might become a bearer of the message of the cross.
主啊,我心坚定于你,我心坚定于你,既然蒙召我的生命不再属于自己,单单属于你。Lord, my heart is steadfast in You—my heart is steadfast in You. Since I have been called, my life no longer belongs to me, but to You alone.当我感到软弱、困惑、无助时,宣告你就是神的能力,你就是神的智慧。十字架是我们永远的荣耀,是我们永远的盼望。When I feel weak, confused or helpless, I will proclaim that You are the power of God and the wisdom of God. The cross is our eternal glory and our everlasting hope.我愿更多认识你、倚靠你,在你里面,重新得力。I long to know You more, to lean on You more, and to be renewed in strength through You.坚定的跟着你走窄路,进窄门,时时否定自己,背起自己的十字架来荣耀主。Help me to walk the narrow road and enter through the narrow gate—denying myself daily and taking up my cross, that I might glorify Your name.
