so fulfill the law of Christ

The problem withhelping
others幫助別人的障礙(加6:3-5)
• Considering yourself lest you also
be tempted (v.1)又當自己小心,恐
怕也被引誘。
• We think too highly of ourselves
(v.3) 人若無有,自己還以為有,就
是自欺了。
How do we prevent this???
1) Really believe that we are nothing (v.3)人若無有
2) Examine our own work (v.4)各人應當察驗自己的行
為(信徒若在主的光中察驗自己的行為,就使所誇的專在自己。不跟別人比較;只求自己在神面前良心
無愧,而不在於覺得自己比某人好,或比不上某人。)
3) Bear our own load (v.5)因為各人必擔當自己的擔子。
13.
We have tobear our own load
因為各人必擔當自己的擔子。
(加6:5)

• Must serve others & bear their burdens – like Christ
did for us像基督一樣擔起世人十字架的擔子
• Must do it in a manner that reveals the fruit of the
Spirit – like Christ did像基督一樣結出聖靈的果子
Can’t possibly do it in
isolation from people!

I bear inmy body
•我已經與基督同釘十字架,現在活
著的不再是我,乃是基督在我裡面
活著;並且我如今在肉身活著,是
因信神的兒子而活;他是愛我,為
我捨己。(加2:20)
•身上常帶著耶穌的死,使耶穌
的生也顯明在我們身上。因為
我們這活著的人是常為耶穌被
交於死地,使耶穌的生在我們
這必死的身上顯明出來。(林後
4:10-11)

案例: 冒死替人扛起重擔
• 在911的事件中,有個很感人的故事,大廈被撞,人們要逃生,其中有一個
人卻無法自行逃生,因為他在十七年前跳水時撞斷了頸部脊椎,造成四肢
癱瘓,他叫JohnAbruzzo,那時在南棟六十九樓上班,從事會計工作,以
電動輪椅行進的他,只能看著人們逃離,就在絕望時才發現,竟有十個同
事留了下來。這十個同事四個人一組,輪流從六十九樓帶著他用逃生椅往
下逃,直往一樓;在逃出南棟大廈十分鐘後,南棟崩塌了。
• 事後他說:「是這十個同事,還有逃生椅,讓我今天還可以與你們說話,
而對這十個同事我能說什麼呢?我找不到話,無法用一句謝謝就可以表達
我對他們的感受。」--蔡茂堂
