路加福音 Luke 6:27-32, 35
27 只是我告訴你們這聽道的人、你們的仇敵要愛他、恨你們的要待他好。
"But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,
28 咒詛你們的要為他祝福、凌辱你們的要為他禱告。
bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.
29 有人打你這邊的臉、連那邊的臉也由他打．有人奪你的外衣、連裡衣也由他拿去。
If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. If someone takes your cloak, do not stop him from taking your tunic.
30 凡求你的、就給他．有人奪你的東西去、不用再要回來。
Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back.
31 你們願意人怎樣待你們、你們也要怎樣待人。
Do to others as you would have them do to you.
32 你們若單愛那愛你們的人、有甚麼可酬謝的呢．就是罪人也愛那愛他們的人。
"If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you Even 'sinners' love those who love them.
35 你們倒要愛仇敵、也要善待他們、並要借給人不指望償還．你們的賞賜就必大了、你們也必作至高者的兒子．因為他恩待那忘恩的和作惡的。
But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.
有時在周邊, 你會感到環境的不友善, 你可是會選擇忽視與諒解? 雖然強忍不悅的心境, 是一件相當痛苦的事, 常人很難做得到的, 但是, 當聖靈法喜充滿己身時, 那就是引導你趨於正向思考的力量, 使你輕而易舉的, 以輕鬆的心情, 來化解當下的不悅!
摩賽亞書 Mosiah 1:119-120
119 因為自然人是 神的敵人，自亞當墜落時起如此，
For the natural man is an enemy to God, and has been from the fall of Adam,
120 將來也如此，永永遠遠也如此，除非他順服神聖之靈的勸導，脫離自然人，藉著主基督的贖罪而成為聖徒，變得像小孩一樣，順從、溫順、謙卑、有耐心、充滿愛心、願意順從主認為適合加諸於他的一切，就像小孩順從他父親一樣。
And will be, forever and ever, unless he yields to the enticings of the Holy Spirit, and putteth off the natural man and becometh a saint through the atonement of Christ the Lord, and becometh as a child, submissive, meek, humble, patient, full of love, willing to submit to all things which the Lord seeth fit to inflict upon him, even as a child doth submit to his father.
自古以來, 就有關於人的七大原罪(傲慢、妒忌、暴怒、懶惰、貪婪、貪食及色慾)之學說盛行不墜, 這些都不見於錫安的世界裡; 今日, 因著聖靈的引導, 尊從 神給予的誡命, 讓我們回歸最初的稚子之心, 才能回到天父的懷抱, 永享天命.
哥林多前書 1 Corinthians 13:1-8
1 我若能說萬人的方言、並天使的話語、卻沒有愛、我就成了鳴的鑼、響的鈸一般。
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
2 我若有先知講道之能、也明白各樣的奧秘、各樣的知識．而且有全備的信、叫我能彀移山、卻沒有愛、我就算不得甚麼。
If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
3 我若將所有的賙濟窮人、又捨己身叫人焚燒、卻沒有愛、仍然與我無益。
If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.
4 愛是恆久忍耐、又有恩慈．愛是不嫉妒．愛是不自誇．不張狂．
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
5 不作害羞的事．不求自己的益處．不輕易發怒．不計算人的惡．
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
6 不喜歡不義．只喜歡真理．
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
7 凡事包容．凡事相信．凡事盼望．凡事忍耐。
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8 愛是永不止息．先知講道之能、終必歸於無有．說方言之能、終必停止、知識也終必歸於無有。
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
上帝的愛, 那是一種無私的、濟世的、超越人類情感的慈愛、憐恤和撫慰, 或通說為是->博愛! 那也是聖靈的化身, 有了聖靈的澆灌、引導, 讓我們自然效法 神的慈愛, 無須學習, 只要無私的分享 神給予的愛, 就是最佳的見證!
摩羅乃書 Moroni 7:50-52
50 人若心裡溫順謙卑，並藉著聖靈的力量承認耶穌是基督，就必定有仁愛；因為他若沒有仁愛，就算不得什麼；所以他必定需要有仁愛。
and if a man be meek and lowly in heart, and confesses by the power of the Holy Ghost that Jesus is the Christ, he must needs have charity; for if he have not charity he is nothing; wherefore he must needs have charity.
51 仁愛是恆久忍耐又有恩慈，不嫉妒，不張狂，不求自己的益處，不易被激怒，不動惡念，不在罪惡中快樂，只在真理中快樂，凡事包容，凡事相信，凡事盼望，凡事忍耐。所以，我心愛的弟兄們，你們若沒有仁愛，就算不得什麼，因為仁愛永不止息。因此，要固守著仁愛，那是一切事物中最偉大的，因為一切事物終必止息
And charity suffereth long, and is kind, and envieth not, and is not puffed up, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil, and rejoiceth not in iniquity but rejoiceth in the truth, beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Wherefore, my beloved brethren, if ye have not charity, ye are nothing, for charity never faileth. Wherefore, cleave unto charity, which is the greatest of all, for all things must fail—
52 然而仁愛是基督純正的愛，這種愛永遠持守；凡在末日被斷定有仁愛的，他的景況一定很好。
But charity is the pure love of Christ, and it endureth forever; and whoso is found possessed of it at the last day, it shall be well with him.
Rick 總結說：約翰、保羅、彼得等等先知們, 堅守聖靈的引領, 承認耶穌是主, 並在艱困的環境下, 奔走傳遞福音, 以大無畏的精神, 面對時時刻刻的侮辱、壓迫與驅趕, 甚至是生命的威脅. 以有限的身軀, 換取了永恆的生命. 這是今天我要跟大家分享的, 謝謝!
Hear Him today; do not turn Him away à Jesus is calling for you.
