12/6/2013基督裏的平安喜樂
經文:腓立比書 1－4章
中心思想:腓立比書1、4章
提要
腓立比書是一封喜樂的信。保羅在羅馬監獄的囚房裹，寫信給他在第二次宣教旅行中建立的一個教會(徒16)，不論當時保羅的環境多麽惡劣，腓立比書是一封在逼迫中充滿鼓勵的信。保羅喜樂的原因有三：其一，腓立比人不斷的提供經濟援助：其二，希望不久去探望腓立比信徒；其三，教會在傳揚福音上很有見證，雖然這樣的見證受到教會裹意見分歧的威脅，但保羅卻有信心，只要他們效法基督的謙卑與僕人的心志，必能重新合一。確實！保羅憑著信心勉勵說：「靠主常常喜樂」
(腓4：4)。

每日與主同行
你生命裹有那些層面是你引以為榮的？換言之，若有人模倣你也不感到羞愧。
保羅要說明他的教導時，常以真人真事為例，他毫不猶豫的稱揚提摩太是同心的楷模(腓2：19－20)，以巴弗提是忠貞的榜樣，基督則是謙卑的典範(腓2：5－8)。
你視自己為一個榜樣嗎？「哦，不!」你會這麽說，但不管你願意與否，你的確是!你周遭的人會以你生命的流露評論基督敦，你是否「常常喜樂」(腓4：4)？你是否憂心忡忡，甚而否定禱告的實際能力呢(腓4：6)？你是否證明「上帝的平安」每一天都在你心中動工呢(腓4：7)？
你的孩子、父母、鄰居、同事、親戚、甚至陌生人是否都注意到你生命中有一種與眾不同的氣質？今天選出一個範圍，藉著上帝的幫助，在你一切言行上成為一個榜樣。

Joy and
Peace in Christ
Scriptures:Philippians
1-4
Heart of the Passage:Philippians
1，4
Overview
Philippians
is a joyful letter, written by Paul from a prison cell in Rome to one of the
churches he founded on his second missionary journey (Acts 16). In spite of
Paul's adverse circumstances, Philippians is a letter of encouragement in the
midst of persecution. There is much for Paul to rejoice about: the Philippians'
repeated financial assistance, the hope of visiting the Philippian believers
soon, the church's steadfast testimony for the gospel. Though that testimony is
threatened by divisions in the church. Paul is confident their unity will be
restored as they imitate the humility and servanthood of Christ. Indeed, Paul
can urge with confidence, "Rejoice in the Lord always" (4:4).

Your Daily Walk
How many
areas in your life would you consider exemplary—areas you would not be ashamed
for others to imitate?
When Paul
wanted to illustrate his teaching, he often used flesh-and-blood examples. He
did not hesitate to set forth Timothy as a model of caring (2:19-20),
Epaphroditus as a model of steadfastness (2:25), and Christ as a model of
humility (2:5-8).
Do you
view yourself as a personal illustration? "Oh," you say, "not
me!" But it's true whether you volunteer or not. People around you
evaluate Christianity by the way they sec it lived out in your life.
Do you
"rejoice always" (4:4)? Are you anxious and thus deny the reality and
power of prayer (4:6)? Do you give daily evidence of the "peace of
God" at work in your life (4:7)?
Your
children, parents, neighbors, co-workers, relatives— even
strangers—will notice whether the quality of your life is different.
Select one area today where, with God's help, you will seek to be an example in
all you do and say.
