【弗4:8】所以经上说：“他升上高天的时候，掳掠了仇敌，将各样的恩赐赏给人。”【Eph4: 8】This is why it says: "When he ascended on high, he led captives in his train and gave gifts to men."

保罗引用诗篇68:18 来描绘耶稣的得胜：他甘心降卑、受辱、受苦、顺服至死，却从死里复活，升上高天，完全胜过罪恶、死亡和撒但的权势。Paul quotes Psalm 68:18 to describe Jesus’ victory: He humbled Himself, endured mockery, suffering, and even death. Yet He rose again, ascended on high, and completely triumphed over sin, death, and the power of Satan.

“掳掠了仇敌”不仅宣告仇敌被彻底打败，更意味着我们这些原本被罪掳掠的人，如今从撒但权下得释放，被迁入爱子光明的国度。哈利路亚！耶稣已复活作王！“He led captivity captive” doesn’t just declare the enemy defeated — it also means that we who were once enslaved to sin have now been set free and brought into the kingdom of God’s beloved Son. Hallelujah! Jesus is risen and reigns as King!

照着圣灵的运行，祂分赐五重职事和恩赐——使徒、先知、传福音的、牧师和教师——不是为着个人的荣耀，而是要成全圣徒，各尽其职，建立基督的身体。By the Spirit’s work, He gives the fivefold ministries — apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers — not for personal recognition, but to equip the saints so that each one can play their part in building up the Body of Christ.

主说，多给谁就向谁多要。无论领受五千两，还是一千两的仆人，忠心于神的托付，更多顺服圣灵，谦卑付出和服事，主应许说，凡有的还要加添！ 

As the Lord said, “To whom much is given, much will be required.” Whether entrusted with five talents or one, being faithful, humble, and obedient to the Spirit will see the Lord add even more.

祷告：Prayer:

主啊，求你赦免我，因着贪图人前的荣耀，就跟身边的肢体比较、争竞、嫉妒，成为不忠心的仆人…得着属灵的恩赐，为要行耶稣所行的。Lord, forgive me for seeking human approval — for comparing myself with others, competing, and being jealous, and so becoming an unfaithful servant. I’ve longed for spiritual gifts, but often for the wrong reasons. 

主，我渴慕属灵的恩赐，更渴慕得着你谦卑、舍己、爱人的生命。主啊，帮助我成为你忠心又良善的仆人，将这个自己作神、骄傲、自高的旧人，与你同钉十字架…I do want the gifts, Lord, but even more I want Your life of humility, self-denial, and love. Help me to be a good and faithful servant. Put to death in me all pride and self-exalting ways, and let the old self be crucified with You.

主啊，求你更多破碎我的生命，使我不再为自己活，接受你的训练和塑造，连于元首基督，顺服圣灵，与肢体彼此相助，合一服事，同心建造你的身体，彰显你的荣耀！Lord, break me more, so I no longer live for myself. Shape me through Your training. Join me closely to Christ the Head. Teach me to obey the Spirit and to serve together with the body in unity, building up Your church and showing Your glory. 

主啊，为着那失丧的灵魂，求你更多挑旺我们的恩赐，带着你的爱，去扩展神国的领地，使万国万民归向你，敬拜你，尊崇你！And for the sake of the lost, stir up our gifts again. Fill us with Your love so that we may extend the kingdom of God, until people from every nation turn to You, worship You, and lift high Your name.
