【林前9:22】向软弱的人，我就作软弱的人，为要得软弱的人；向什么样的人，我就作什么样的人。无论如何总要救些人。【1 Cor9:22 】To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some.

保罗本有使徒的权柄，可以靠福音养生，却甘心放弃这权柄。Paul had the right as an apostle to make his living from the gospel, yet he willingly gave up that right. 他一切所行的都是为着福音的缘故：无论如何总要救些人。Everything he did was for the sake of the gospel—so that by all means, he might save some. 为了向不同背景的人传福音，使他们认识神，他向什么样的人，就作什么样的人。这不是迎合人，也不是向罪妥协，而是甘心进入他人的处境，把人带到耶稣面前。To reach people from different backgrounds, he became like them—not to please man, nor to compromise with sin, but to enter into their world with love and humility, in order to lead them to Christ.

有一个慕道友想要救一群大雁，但是大雁并不听他的。A seeker once tried to save a flock of wild geese, but no matter how hard he called out to them, they would not listen. 他想如果我能变成一只大雁到它们中间，就可以把它们引到安全的地方。Then he thought, “If only I could become one of them—if I could be a goose among geese—perhaps I could lead them to safety.” 那一刻他明白了耶稣基督道成肉身来到罪人中间的意义。In that moment, he understood the meaning of the incarnation of Christ. 神的儿子不是居高临下地发号施令，而是离开荣耀的宝座，取了奴仆的形象，成为人的样式…The Son of God did not shout from above or issue commands from a distance. He left His throne of glory, took on the nature of a servant, and was made in human likeness.

耶稣来到这个世界，宣扬悔改的福音，却与妓女税吏同坐席，与哀哭的人同哭，Jesus came into this world preaching the gospel of repentance. Yet He sat at the table with prostitutes and tax collectors. He wept with those who wept.  虽然还有许多人不信他，他仍然无怨无悔地走上十字架，无论如何，总要救那信的人。Even though many rejected Him, He walked to the cross without complaint or regret—so that, by any means, He might save those who believe. 主，感谢你付上生命的代价来拯救我们。Lord, we thank You for paying the price of life to redeem us.保罗效法了耶稣的脚踪，纵然被人误解，仍然救人心切，甘心舍己。Paul followed in the footsteps of Christ. Though often misunderstood, his heart burned to save the lost. Willingly, he poured himself out for the sake of others.

主啊，你没有停止拯救，无论如何，总要救些人，这是你的心意！谁肯为你去呢？主，你把光、爱和生命给了我们，我在这里！Lord, You have never stopped saving. It is Your heart’s desire to rescue, no matter what—it is Your will that some would be saved! Who will go for You? You have given us light, love, and life. Here I am, Lord! Send me. 圣灵帮助我，以你的心为心，怜悯接纳罪人，正如你怜恤我，Holy Spirit, help me to have the heart of Christ—to show mercy and welcome sinners, just as You have shown mercy to me. 使我在小事上操练爱和忠心，使身边的人归向你。Train me in love and faithfulness, even in the small things, so that those around me may be drawn to You. 主啊，愿你的国降临，愿万国万民都归神的国度！Lord, let Your kingdom come! May all nations and peoples be brought into the kingdom of God!
