41-47節--被聖靈充滿的教會

使徒行傳 第2章

當信徒群體容讓聖靈在他們中間工作，其中的一個成果，就是他們能夠活出美好的合一見證。

每位信徒都應該隸屬於一間地方教會，他們亦應該為到教會一天比一天更能滿足基督的心意，而不斷為教會禱告。有人曾經說過，基督徒就像蜜蜂，成員之間能分工合作；但蜘蛛卻恰好相反，牠只曉得獨自織網。

既有那麼多人歸信了耶穌基督，初期教會該怎樣建立他們呢？初信者即時最需要的，是接受新的教導。請留意第42節。這些信徒既得了新的生命，就當學習如何過新的生活。無論是在任何一個世代或任何地方，基督徒的需要永遠都是一樣：就是認識神的話語，並學習遵從神的話語而活。你的教會是否恆切地教導信徒如何為基督而活呢？這正是教會的責任。

其次，初期教會開始了新的相交生活。他們彼此相愛，亦願意彼此分享。在未得救者的眼中，他們的奇妙改變和相交的喜樂，便成了美好的見證。在未信者的眼中，又如何評價你的教會呢？他們是否看見一個彼此相愛和分享的信徒群體，抑或是別的呢？第三，初期教會設立了新的筵席，就是我們稱為的「聖餐」。照第46節的描述，信徒可能是一起用膳；但第42節記載的，卻明顯是指到基督吩咐他們守的新筵席。他們藉著一起擘餅，來記念基督的死。教會要一直守這餐，直等到基督再來。每當你在教會與其他信徒一起守聖餐，你當記住，你其實是在公開表明：「我相信耶穌基督為我受死。我相信祂為我捨棄祂的身體和流出寶血。我要公開承認我相信這一切。」

所有信徒都需要學習神的話語，都需要學習如何為基督而活，和如何與其他信徒彼此相交。同時，所有信徒亦需時刻緊記，教會是因著基督的死和復活才得以建立。

A SPIRIT -FILLED CHURCH

One of the results of the Holy Spirit being allowed to work in the hearts of a group of believers is a beautiful unity among them.

Every Christian should belong to a local church and should be praying that the church will become what Christ intended. Someone has said a Christian is like a bee, a member of a big group which works well together. A spider is the opposite. It always works and spins alone.

What did the early church do after so many men and women came to Jesus Christ? One of the first things they needed was NEW TEACHING. Notice verse 42. They had received NEW LIFE, now they needed to learn how to live that life. Our need will always be the same. One of the greatest needs of Christians everywhere is to be taught the Word of God, and to learn to live by it. Is your church teaching the Christians how to live for Christ? It should be.

Secondly, in the early church there was NEW FELLOWSHIP. They loved each other and wanted to share with each other. The outside world saw this and it spoke to the unsaved of the wonder and job of belonging to Jesus Christ. What do the unsaved people in your area see in your church? A group of loving sharing Christians or something else?

Thirdly, in the early church there was a NEW FEAST, we call it the Lord’s supper or communion. In verse 46 it seems they also had some ordinary meals together but in verse 42 it speaks of the new feast Christ had told them to have. In this way they were to remember his death. The church is to keep on doing this until Jesus Christ comes back again. Whenever your church meets together for the Lord’s supper, remember you are openly saying, ‘I believe Jesus Christ died for me. I believe he gave his body and his life blood for me and I want everyone to see this is what I believe.

We all need teaching. We all need to learn how to live for Christ and with one another. And we always need to remember it was Christ’s death and resurrection that made the church possible.
