1-11節--監獄來鴻

腓立比書 第1章

由今天開始，我們將會用大約一週的時間，來研讀保羅其中一封最優美的書信──一封寫在羅馬監獄的書信。保羅是為耶穌基督的緣故而被囚在監中的。他並沒有犯罪，可是卻與罪犯一同被囚在獄中。

然而，你讀過這封書信之後，有沒有發現保羅在抱怨呢？連一次抱怨也沒有。反之，你卻看見他與耶穌基督是那麼的親近和親密，以及他怎樣利用在監中的機會向人傳講基督。試想，設若你因基督的緣故被下在監中，你會在監中做些甚麼呢？

保羅在第1節表明此信是寫給「凡住腓立比、在基督耶穌裡的眾聖徒」。你看見這些聖徒乃同時住在兩個地方嗎？首先，他們是「在基督耶穌裡」，其次是住在腓立比。

當基督進入他們生命中的那一刻，他們並沒有立即搬離腓立比；可是，他們的生命卻發生了巨變──基督如今已在他們裡面，而他們亦在基督裡面。但他們仍然是住在腓立比──這個仍未給予基督應有尊崇的地方。

有些時候，我們會渴望搬到一個只有基督徒居住，周遭再沒有罪惡包圍我們的地方；我們若在這樣的地方居住，就一定較容易為基督而活了。但首先請記著，除了天堂之外，世上根本沒有這樣的地方。其次，神把我們留在原來居住的地方，為的是要我們向周遭鄰舍見證基督帶給我們的改變。

另一些時候，我們又寧願自己獨個兒，認為這樣就更能輕鬆自在了。可是，我們若在基督裡，就不可能獨個兒。首先，我們有祂的同在；其次，我們與全世界的基督徒乃結連起來。請再讀第4和5節，然後，請為到各地在基督裡的弟兄姊妹代禱。

讚美：

在這個包含普世信徒的神的大家庭中，我真高興自己是當中的一份子！

A Letter from a Roman Jail

Today we begin a week or so of readings in one of the finest letters Paul ever wrote - one which was written in a Roman jail! Paul was a prisoner for the sake of Jesus Christ. He wasnt a criminal, but he was in jail just the same.

Yet when you read this letter can you find Paul complaining? Not once. On the other hand you will read about how near and dear Jesus Christ is and what an opportunity Paul has to tell about Christ. Stop and think what you might have done had you been there in jail for Christs sake.

In verse 1 Paul writes to the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi. Can you see the two places where they were living? First they were in Christ and secondly they lived at Philippi.

When Christ came into their lives these people didnt immediately move away from Philippi. But a big change had happened - Christ was now in them and they were in Christ. But they were still living at Philippi - a place where Christ was not honoured as he should have been.

We often think it would be so much easier if we could move away to a place where everyone was a Christian and we could live for Christ without the sin of the world around us. But remember, there is no place like that outside of heaven. Secondly, God has left us where we are so that we can live there and show to others in that place just what Christ means to us.

It is easy for us at times to think we are all alone - but we are never alone if we are in Christ. First we have him and then we have the fellowship of other Christians all over the world. Read verses 4 and 5 again and pray today for all your brothers and sisters in Christ everywhere.

PRAISE NOTE: Im so glad Im a part of the family of God everywhere.
