為雞首，不為牛後

經文: 「耶和華就必使你作首不作尾。」（申命記廿八︰13）

若我們順服上帝，就要看到上帝的恩典，使我們凡事亨通。雖然這是帶著應許的律法誡命，也適用上帝的子民，因為耶穌已除掉咒詛，祂要賜下恩福。

聖者會以他的影響力，在前帶領眾人，而不會在後面被人拖拉牽引。我們不能盲從附和，反要說服眾人認識基督；我們不能因為宗教之故，情願當鄉愿，反要伸張正義，做社會的燈台。上帝不是要祂的百姓做祭司嗎？這是教導人的工作，而不是向世俗的哲學家學東西。我們不是在主裡統管這世界嗎？我們又怎能隨從世上的小學及世界的思潮？

親愛的弟兄姐妹，你有沒有為上帝而站穩立場？很多人因怕惹事生非，單求明哲保身，我們怎能把燈藏在桌子底下，不站出來為上帝說話﹖我們豈能不挺身而出，登高而呼並組織眾人，匯出一股改變人心的力量？


Lead the Way

Scripture: "The LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail"(Deuteronomy 28:13).

If we obey the LORD, He will compel our adversaries to see that His blessing rests upon us. Though this be a promise of the law, yet it stands good to the people of God; for Jesus has removed the curse, but He has established the blessing.
It is for saints to lead the way among men by holy influence: they are not to be the tail, to be dragged hither and thither by others. We must not yield to the spirit of the age, but compel the age to do homage to Christ. If the LORD be with us, we shalt not crave toleration for religion, but we shall seek to seat it on the throne of society. Has not the LORD Jesus made His people priests. Surely they are to teach and must not be learners from the philosophies of unbelievers. Are we not in Christ made kings to reign upon the earth? How, then can we be the servants of custom, the slaves of human opinion?
Have you, dear friend, taken up your true position for Jesus? Too many are silent because diffident, if not cowardly. Should we allow the name of the LORD Jesus to be kept in the background? Should our religion drag along as a tail? Should it not rather lead the way and be the ruling force with ourselves and others?
