My Journal (11/3/05)

According to Romans 3:10, "there is none righteous, no, not one."
Even after one got converted due to the grace of God, in reality, a Christian still commits sins here and there—a sinner covered by the grace of God.
To follow after anyone in this world is taking the chance of following an imperfect soul and model.
What a comfort to know that it is possible to follow Christ, the PERFECT ONE, and we are called to follow Him.
Philippians 2:5-11 has been a passage that sustained me through the darkest moments of my life. Today, the light shines on me again.
Oh, Lord, I am so grateful for your steadfast love.

I am to strive emulating the attitude and actions of servanthood that marked the character and conduct of Christ.
The life of Christ shows that the way up is by stepping down, the way to gain for oneself is by giving up oneself, the way to life is by death, and the way to win the praise of God is by steadfastly serving others.
In His humility, Jesus did what He asked others to do.

What a good reminder for me—doing before teaching; one must do the law before one has the right to teach the law—when I am so close to finishing my study in the seminary, and ready to hop unto a train of ministry which is another stage of my journey.

道(1): 保羅如何形容基督耶穌

請看保羅如何形容耶穌？
西 1:15-20 愛子是那不能看見之　神的像、是首生的、在一切被造的以先．因為萬有都是靠他造的、無論是天上的、地上的、能看見的、不能看見的、或是有位的、主治的、執政的、掌權的、一概都是藉著他造的、又是為他造的．他在萬有之先．萬有也靠他而立。他也是教會全體之首．他是元始、是從死裡首先復生的、使他可以在凡事上居首位。因為父喜歡叫一切的豐盛、在他裡面居住。既然藉著他在十字架上所流的血、成就了和平、便藉著他叫萬有、無論是地上的、天上的、都與自己和好了。

腓 2:5-11 你們當以基督耶穌的心為心。他本有　神的形像、不以自己與　神同等為強奪的．反倒虛己、取了奴僕的形像、成為人的樣式．既有人的樣子、就自己卑微、存心順服、以至於死、且死在十字架上。所以　神將他升為至高、又賜給他那超乎萬名之上的名、叫一切在天上的、地上的、和地底下的、因耶穌的名、無不屈膝、無不口稱耶穌基督為主、使榮耀歸與父　神。
