共同生活

Doing Life Together

「都恆心遵守使徒的教訓，彼此交接，掰餅，祈禱。」 - 徒 2:42

They devoted themselves to the apostles』 teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. — Acts 2:42

靈修

我們在早期教會中學到很多關於社區的事。它包括分享飯食，彼此照顧，一起崇拜，一起祈禱。早期教會很重視社區。它不是一個偶然的事件或集會，而是有規律的、不間斷的。他們看重一起度過美好的時光，而且經常這樣做。

We learn a lot about what community looked like in the early church. It included things like sharing meals, caring for one another, worshiping together, and praying together. The early church took community seriously. It wasn』t just an occasional event or gathering. It was regular and ongoing. They valued spending quality time together, and they did it often.

在早期教會中，我們看到它專註在那些重要的事上——神的話，團契，敬拜和禱告。我們看到重要的是什麼——基督的身體一起生活。我們看到這不只是每周一次的活動，也不只是在某個地方或者某個建築物里的教會。聖經上說，主將得救的人，天天加給他們。教會為其他人留出空間——越來越多。

We see in the early church a focus on what matters—the Word of God, fellowship, worship, and prayer. We see who matters—the body of Christ doing life together. And we see that it isn』t just a once-a-week event. It also isn』t about being a church in one place or even in a building. The Bible says the Lord added to their number every day. There was room for others—more and more.

在我們如此注重個人慾望的文化中，合乎聖經的社群對我們來說可能有點奇怪。但最重要的是關係，即使在這個「我優先」的世界裡，這也是我們可以抓住的東西。關係總是會涉及到分享——時間、經歷、物質財富，另外——分享需要一種持續的個人投入。時間越長，分享就越需要堅持，因為會經歷喜樂與掙扎。共同生活是合乎聖經的社群的一個強項。我們分享的禮物總為他人留出空間，即使是混亂之時。

In our culture of focusing so much on individual desires, biblical community can seem a bit strange to us. But it』s all about relationships, and that is something we can grasp even in this 「me first」 world. Relationships always involve sharing—time, experiences, material goods, and more—and sharing requires an ongoing personal investment. It endures through joys and struggles over the long haul. Doing life together is one of the strengths of biblical community. The gift we share always has room for others, even when it is messy.

今天，你能以怎樣的方式在與神和他人的關係中投入更多呢？

In what ways can you invest more in your relationships with God and others today?
