基督徒的釋放

經文: 「眷顧貧窮的有福了！他遭難的日子，耶和華必搭救他。」(詩四十一：1)

顧念窮人並關心他們，是基督徒的責任，耶穌曾說：「常有窮人與你們同在。」顯然，祂常把窮人放在我四周圍。

許多人對窮人，只是匆匆地丟幾個銅板給他；而有的根本不屑一顧；而上帝的應許，是給那些真正關心窮人、深入了解他們的景況、為他們的利益設想、誠心為他們開一條出路的人。若你真正關心窮人，會比光給他錢更有用；當然，能兩者兼顧，會更好。

對那些關懷窮人的，上帝應許在他們困乏時，也會照顧他們；上帝應許要救我們脫離困境，就像我們曾救助別人那樣。只要我們一心行善，上帝亦要供應屬天的祝福。無論我們景況怎麼好，我們總會有遇到麻煩的時候，這時候，一向對人慷慨的信徒，可大膽地向上帝支取祂的信實，因祂不會背乎自己的承諾。一向小氣吝嗇的人，只能自求多福，但那些常施惠給人的，則必得上帝的相助。所以，信徒們，慷慨解囊吧！你怎樣做在別人的身上，上帝也必同樣地報答你。


Christian Liberality

Scripture: "Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble"(Psalm 41:1).

To think about the poor and let them lie on our hearts is a Christian man's duty; for Jesus put them with us and near us when He said, "The poor ye have always with you."
Many give their money to the poor in a hurry, without thought; and many more give nothing at all. This precious promise belongs to those who "consider" the poor, look into their case, devise plans for their benefit, and considerately carry them out. We can do more by care than by cash, and most with two together. To those who consider the poor, the LORD promises His own consideration in times of distress. He will bring us out of trouble if we help others when they are in trouble. We shall receive very singular providential help if the LORD sees that we try to provide for others. We shall have a time of trouble, however generous we may be; but if we are charitable, we may put in a claim for peculiar deliverance, and the LORD will not deny His own word and bond. Miserly curmudgeons may help themselves, but considerate and generous believers the LORD will help. As you have done unto others, so will the LORD do unto you. Empty your pockets.
