每日箴言

必须彼此同心

“与喜乐的人要同乐；与哀哭的人要同哭。要彼此同心。” - 罗 12:15-16

? 灵修

聪明的信徒都会同意，同意耶稣所说的 “我赐给你们一条新命令，乃是叫你们彼此相爱” （约翰福音 13:34），并不是单单给我们一个与人和谐相处之的方法。同样圣经中其他关于怎样彼此相待的命令，也不是由得我们决定遵守与否的——因为神的命令，是一定要遵守的。

作为跟随耶稣的人，我们必须记着，我们与神的关系，会如何影响我们与其他人的关系。当我们祷告说：“我们的父” 时，我们承认，我们属于一个包括其他弟兄姊妹的家庭，所以我们必须彼此同心。今天的经文提出具体的方法教导我们怎样去做，例如彼此恭敬推让、善要亲近、恒切祷告、圣徒缺乏要帮补、客要一味地款待，以及不要志高气大。

当信徒彼此同心、藉着与哀哭的人同哭、与喜乐的人同乐，来实行彼此相爱的，他们就能有力地见证他们在基督里的盼望了。若有同事观察到，他们会说 “你们能够这样彼此相爱，真是令人惊奇” 如此基督的名就被传开了。当日耶稣为所有信徒向父祈求，盼他们都能 “合而为一” 和 “完完全全地合为一",祂说：“叫世人知道父差了祂来，也知道父爱他们如同爱祂一样。”（约翰福音17:22-23）。当祂这样祈求时，就是教导了彼此同心的道理。

? 祷告

父啊，我们愿意彼此同心，好叫我们能见证我们与祢有生命的关系，求祢赐下祢的灵，帮助我们实行出来。奉耶稣的名祈求，阿们。

普世佳音每日箴言

? Living In Harmony Is Necessary

"Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. Live in harmony with one another." — Romans 12:15-16

? Devotion

Wise believers acknowledge that when Jesus said, "A new command I give you: Love one another" (John 13:34), this was not simply a suggestion for getting along. So too, the Bible's commands as to how we treat one another shouldn't be considered optional. That's not the nature of God's commands.

As Christ's followers, we must remember how our relationship with God affects our relationships with each other. When we pray, "Our Father," we acknowledge that we are part of a family that includes sisters and brothers. We're called to live in harmony together. Today's reading mentions specific ways of doing so, such as honoring one another above ourselves, holding to what is good, praying faithfully, sharing with people in need, showing hospitality, and not being proud.

When believers live in harmony, expressing their love for one another by sharing tears in times of sorrow and expanding their joy by celebrating together, they become appealing witnesses to their hope in Christ. When a coworker observes, "It's amazing how you guys love each other," the cause of Christ moves forward. Jesus taught this when he prayed that all believers "may be one" and "may be brought to complete unity. Then," he said to the Father, "the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me" (John 17:22-23).

? Prayer

Father, we want to live with others in such a way that shows we are in a life-giving relationship with you. Grant us your Spirit to do so. In Jesus' name, Amen.
