1-11節--處理問題的方法

哥林多前書 第6章

昨天的經文讓我們看見哥林多教會沒有處理信徒犯罪的問題。來到今天的經文，我們雖然看見教會主動處理信徒間的其他問題，可是，卻用了錯誤的方法去處理。他們用了屬世的方法，而不是基督的方法。他們的信徒明顯是出現了彼此紛爭，為了處理糾紛，他們便告上法庭，要異教徒的法官為他們審斷事理。這是多麼失見證啊！

他們是為到甚麼事情爭訟呢？大概是為到金錢或產業的糾紛。屬世的人當然會說：「你們絕對有權告上法庭。」可是，基督徒是接受神的律法所管轄：神的律法要求，遠遠高過屬世的律法標準。

信徒之間出現彼此相爭的事，差不多在每間教會都會發生，教會一定有方法去處理。但處理的方法必須合乎新約聖經的教導，並且按照愛的法則。基督的方法已經在馬太福音十八章17節清楚列出。

保羅在這裡提出了不少教導，其中一些對我們極有提醒。他說：「你們真的不能接受自己吃一點虧嗎？你們寧可把弟兄告上法庭，也不情願吃虧嗎？你們為甚麼不把一切冤屈交給主，讓主親自去審斷呢？若有人得罪你，主是知道的；為何你不相信主會為你伸冤呢？」

當然，要實踐這個真理絕不容易。你如果發現自己正陷於這困境，請讀詩篇三十七篇，並將自己重新交到主的手裡。我們一方面要作好準備，可能要為到主的緣故而遭受虧損；但與此同時，亦要信靠主必將最好的賜給你。

你的教會採用甚麼方法來處理問題呢？是屬世的方法，抑或主的方法呢？要記著主為你成就的工作。要牢記主過去怎樣幫助你，並信靠主在未來也一定幫助你，那麼，此刻就當然有信心將一切交託給主了。

禱告：

主啊，求你幫助我凡事信靠你，並且將這信心實踐出來。

WHOSE METHODS SHOULD WE USE?

Yesterday we saw how the church at Corinth had failed to deal with sin within its membership. Today we see that it had been dealing with other problems, but had been dealing with them in the wrong way. They had used the worlds methods and not Christs. Evidently there had been disputes between church members and to settle them they had taken each other to court, in front of heathen judges. What a testimony!

What was the dispute about? Possibly about money or property. The world would have said, You are perfectly within your rights in going to court. But Christians are under a higher law than the law of this world.

Differences of opinion are sure to arise in almost any church but there is a very definite way to deal with them. It must be according to the New Testament pattern and according to the law of love. Christs method is clearly outlined in Matthew 18:17.

Paul gives a number of instructions here and some very helpful words. He says, Would it be such a terrible thing if you did suffer loss? Wouldnt that be better than taking a fellow Christian to court? Why not just say, .I leave it all with the Lord. I am not going to say anything about it. I am not going to do anything about it. If others wrong me, Jesus understands. He was wronged so terribly himself and I can trust him to do what is right for me." ,

That is not easy to do. If you find yourself faced with this kind of situation, read Psalm 37 and put yourself afresh in the Lords hands. Be prepared to suffer loss for Christs sake but at the same time commit your way to the Lord. He will work out what is best for you.

What methods is your church using to solve difficulties? The worlds methods or Christs methods? Remember what Christ has done for you. Remember how he has helped you in the past. You are trusting him for the future, so why not trust him for the present too?

A PRAYER FOR TODAY:

Lord, help me live today in the way that will show I am trusting you. 13
