【弗4:12-13】为要成全圣徒，各尽其职，建立基督的身体，直等到我们众人在真道上同归于一，认识神的儿子，得以长大成人，满有基督长成的身量。【Ephesians4:12-13】to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.

感谢主，我们常像羊走迷，偏行己路，骄傲嫉妒、贪图虚荣，忘记恩赐与呼召，成为孤军作战的个体。Thanks be to the Lord. We are often like sheep that go astray, each following our own way—proud, jealous, chasing after vanity, forgetting the gifts and the calling we have received, and ending up as lone fighters. 神因此赐下使徒、先知、传福音的、牧师和教师，引人悔改、明白真理，与基督建立亲密关系。That is why God has given apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers—to lead people to repentance, to bring them into the truth, and to draw them into a close relationship with Christ. 真正的合一是在真理上的合一，不仅是外在同工做事，更是成全信徒成为祷告、悔改的肢体，被圣灵引导，越来越认识基督，塑造成充满圣灵、有权能、有基督丰满生命的合一教会。True unity is unity in the truth. It is not only about working together outwardly, but also about believers being built up to become people of prayer and repentance, guided by the Holy Spirit, growing in the knowledge of Christ, and being formed into a Spirit-filled, empowered church that shows the fullness of His life.

神要成全圣徒，使人人进入自己的职分。教会不是少数领袖来支撑，而是百节各按其职、彼此配搭服事，建立基督的身体。所有恩赐与职分，不论大小，目的都是建造教会，使主名得荣耀。God’s purpose is to equip His people so that everyone may step into their calling. The church is not held up by just a few leaders, but by every member playing their part, each one contributing and serving, so that the body of Christ is built up. All gifts and callings—whether big or small—have the same purpose: to build the church and to bring glory to the name of the Lord.

当我回顾自我，常见自己软弱与不足。但神的心意不是让我被辖制，而是因祂的爱和众人在真道的合一得以刚强。When I look at myself, I see weakness and lack. But God’s heart is not for me to remain bound; He wants me to be strengthened by His love and by the unity of His people in the truth.  我们原本不配，却因信基督被聚集，愿意放下自我与权力，不追求荣耀，甘心谦卑，只高举主名。这样的群体如同活石被建成圣殿，神的荣耀充满其中。Though we are unworthy in ourselves, by faith in Christ we are brought together, learning to lay down self and power, not seeking our own glory, but choosing humility, lifting up only the name of the Lord. Such a people are like living stones, being built into a holy temple, filled with the glory of God.

合一的能力超乎想象。纵然人有软弱跌倒，但同心合意能堵住破口，彼此守护。The power of unity is greater than we can imagine. Even though people are weak and may stumble, being of one heart and mind closes the gaps and brings protection. 教会在合一中经历圣灵运行：软弱得坚固，缺乏得供应，受伤得医治。原本不完全的群体，因基督的爱和合一，反成了完全的见证。In unity, the church experiences the work of the Holy Spirit: the weak are strengthened, the needy are provided for, the wounded are healed. An imperfect people, through Christ’s love and unity, become a complete testimony.

亲爱的主耶稣，满心感谢你的呼召，把我们分别出来归向你。因着你的爱，我们在你里面彼此搭配，彼此代祷，竭力建立基督的身体。Dear Lord Jesus, with all my heart I thank You for Your calling, for setting us apart to belong to You. Because of Your love, we are joined together in You, praying for one another and striving to build up the body of Christ. 主啊，我愿像保罗一样回应你，不再为自己而活，单单让你的生命在我里面长大。愿我越认识你，就越放下自己，在合一中彰显你的荣耀。直到那日，教会满有你长成的身量，世人看见的，不再是人的软弱，乃是你荣美的形象。Lord, like Paul, I long to respond to You—not living for myself, but letting Your life grow in me. The more I know You, the more I will lay myself down, so that in unity Your glory may be revealed. Until that day when the church reaches the full measure of Christ, and the world sees not human weakness, but Your radiant image.
