準備好給出答案

BEING READY ALWAYS TO GIVE AN ANSWER

你為什麼上班?這個問題的答案有很多。其中一個理由,很明顯的就是賺取生活費。另外,如果你夠幸運的話,就是有一個職業或是手藝讓你樂在其中或覺得有成就感。我們的工作可以是透過提供產品或是服務來造福別人,或者只是在做一個填滿週一到週五時間的活動而已。

 

當然我們還能想到其他工作的理由。但多少時候,當週一開始工作的時候,我們是抱著自己是耶穌代言人的態度來工作,即使我們不在教會、機構或是基督徒開設的公司上班呢?

 

這個理由也許不是我們為什麼工作的前幾名,但其實它應該是。歌羅西書3章23節說道:「無論做甚麼,都要從心裏做,像是給主做的,不是給人做的。」我們可以用工作上的勤勞和品質具體地實踐這句話,更應該知道透過工作,我們可能會遇到希望認識耶穌基督的人,因此我們應該要做好準備。

 

我的朋友湯姆是一家製造公司的經理。不久之前,有一個國外客戶來拜訪他,他看見湯姆在發一些票給工廠的工人,就問那是甚麼?當他知道這些票是湯姆教會活動的票,而活動內容是一個演講者講述自己信仰耶穌基督的事,他感到充滿疑問。

 

湯姆用感性和和善的態度一一回答他的問題。這個客戶說,他的太太是基督徒,但是在他的國家,大部分的人都信別的宗教。當湯姆回答的時候,這個客戶不斷表達他的驚訝以及意見,他說:「從來沒有人告訴我那樣的事!」或者「我從來沒有聽過有人這樣解釋。」接下來幾天,他們之間就有更多的對話了。

 

當湯姆告訴我這個故事時,他說自己沒想到這竟然會是一個表達自己信仰的機會。這件事也告訴他工作的責任不只是盡全力服務自己的公司和客戶而已,也是服事和代表上帝。提摩太後書2章5節告訴我們:「你當竭力在 神面前得蒙喜悅,作無愧的工人,按著正意分解真理的道。」湯姆使用了下面兩個關鍵的原則來傳達自己的信仰。

 

永遠準備好回答問題  和人傳講耶穌基督的機會總是意外地來到,但是是預期中的意外。「只要心裏尊主基督為聖。有人問你們心中盼望的緣由,就要常作準備,以溫柔、敬畏的心回答各人 (彼得前書 3章15節).

 

尋求合宜回答的智慧  個人佈道並沒有固定的形式,但是需要智慧,倚靠神的帶領知道該說甚麼,以及如何因應情況恰當地說。「你們要愛惜光陰,用智慧與外人交往。你們的言語要常常帶著和氣,好像用鹽調和,就可知道該怎樣回答各人。 (歌羅西書4章5-6節).

反省與問題討論

第一、你為什麼工作?

 

第二、你覺得抱著自己是耶穌代言人的態度來工作,這個想法如何?

 

第三、我們要如何總是預備好,當機會來的時候,我們就能和人分享耶穌基督呢?

 

第四、耶穌在世時給門徒最後一個使命就是「…你們要去,使萬民作我的門徒。」(馬太福音28章19節)你覺得全球貿易擴張帶來甚麼影響,使這個大使命更容易被實現?
