主是磁石
经文: 「我若从地上被举起来，就要吸引万人来归我。」（约翰福音十二︰32）
主的仆人，别气馁，你若害怕不能吸引人来接受福音，试着传讲耶稣受死，被
钉十架，复活的信息，因为这是福音最精彩、最吸引人的部份。什么吸引你信奉基督教
？难道不是耶稣自己﹖若你是因为其他的原因而信基督教，相信你不久就会离开这道；
若非是上帝的大爱感动你的心，你是不会持之以恒，坚守这个信仰到底。因此，为何怀
疑福音的力量？奉耶稣的名，到那些顽固的人群当中，单单传讲耶稣自己，看看是否祂
会改变人心，吸引人归向祂﹖
这福音本是上帝的大能，要救一切相信祂的人。无论老少贫富，无论有学问的
，没知识的，温和的，暴躁的──所有的人都无法抗拒这力量，耶稣是个大磁石。不是
美妙的诗歌，精彩的讲道，或是教堂的气氛吸引人信主，吸引人的乃是耶稣本身；耶稣
是一切圣工的核心，离了祂，一切所做的不过是草木禾秸。身为主的工人，要学习体察
上帝的心意，按着上帝的方式做工，带领人到耶稣面前，那时耶稣就会借着你来吸引人。
The Mighty Magnet
Scripture: "And I, if l be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto
Me" (John 12:32).
Come, ye workers, be encouraged. You fear that you cannot draw a
congregation. Try the preaching of a crucified, risen, and ascended Savior;
for this is the greatest "draw" that was ever yet manifested among men. What
drew you to Christ but Christ? What draws you to Him now but His own
blessed self? If you have been drawn to religion by anything else, you will
soon be drawn away from it; but Jesus has held you and will hold you even to
the end. Why, then, doubt His power to draw other? Go with the name of
Jesus to those who have hitherto been stubborn and see if it does not draw
them.
No sort of man is beyond this drawing power. Old and young, rich and
poor, ignorant and leaned, depraved or amiable--all men shall feel the
attractive force. Jesus is the one magnet. Let us not think of any other.
Music will not draw to Jesus, neither will eloquence, logic, ceremonial, or
noise. Jesus Himself must draw men to Himself; and Jesus is quite equal to
the work in every case. Be not tempted by the quackeries of the day; but as
workers for the LORD work in His own way, and draw with the LORD's own cords
. Draw to Christ, and draw by Christ, for then Christ will draw by you. |
