1-9節--處理不和

腓立比書 第4章

腓立比教會似乎擁有一群很好的信徒。保羅深愛他們，他們也愛保羅。

但教會裡面有兩位姊妹卻因為某事而意見不合。那是甚麼事？我們不知道；只知道她們此刻的不和，已破壞她們過往為基督所做的工作。

這種事情豈不是經常發生？過去對教會很有貢獻的人，突然因為某些小事而產生妒忌或互相生氣。許多時候，我們不察覺教會內的紛爭會造成甚麼傷害，或帶來的負面影響會持續多久。經文中的兩位姊妹，也萬料不到我們對她們的僅有認識，就是只知道她們曾經出現不和！她們怎料到自己竟留下了這樣的壞紀錄！

保羅怎樣勸她們？他是否叫其中一位姊妹，去到另一位的面前，對她說「對不起，請原諒我」？他是否只責備其中一個？

不，保羅勸她們去到基督面前。他說：「我希望友阿蝶和循都基在主裡同心」。他希望她們兩人做同一件事──就是順服基督。

假如教會公開讀出這封信，你想這兩位姊妹會有何感受和顏面呢？她們會怎樣做呢？她們會否默然地低頭向主禱告，求主赦免她們呢？然後，兩人安靜地站起來，走到對方面前，張開雙手，以愛來互相擁抱呢？她們的行動，將會對教會帶來甚麼影響呢？

你是否與另一位信徒有任何不和？你能否默然地求神赦免和幫助你呢？然後，你是否願意去到那位信徒面前，直接與他和好呢？這正是神期望你做的事。當你願意這樣做的時候，其他人可能會大受感動，只是你不知道吧了！立即行動吧！

禱告：主啊，求你幫助我與我的弟兄/姊妹和好。

WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN TWO WOMEN DISAGREE?

The church at Philippi seems to have been a wonderful group of people. Paul loved them dearly and they loved him too.

But there were two women in the church who couldnt agree over something. What was it? We dont know. But whatever they had done for Christ in the church before was being spoiled by their present actions and attitude toward each other.

That often happens doesnt it? People who have done so much in the past, suddenly become jealous or angry over some small things. Often we dont realize what harm a quarrel in a church can do or how long the effect lasts. These two women never realized that the only thing we know about them now is that they had quarreled. What a record to leave behind!

What does Paul say to them? Does he ask one of them to go to the other and say, I was wrong, forgive me please? Does he blame one and not the other?

No, Paul asks both of them to give in to Christ. He says, I ask Euodia and I ask Syntyche to be of one mind in the Lord. He asks each one to do the same thing - to give in to Christ.

Can you imagine the feelings and faces of these two women when this letter is read out to the church? What did they do? Did they quietly bow their heads and ask God to forgive them? Then did they quietly stand up and walk over to each other and throw their arms around one another in love? What would that have meant to the church?

Do you have something against a fellow Christian? Could you quietly ask Gods forgiveness and help just now. Then will you go to that one and get it straightened out? That is what God wants. You will never know who else may be touched by what you do. DO IT NOW!

Prayer: Lord, help me to make things right with my sister (or brother).
