經文:提摩太前書四章
鑰節:「你要謹慎自己和自己的教訓,要在這些事上恆心,因為這樣行又能救自己,又能救聽你的人。」(4:16)
提要

        正如在導論中所說,保羅給提摩太寫這書信時,提摩太還沒到廿五歲,卻已在牧養以弗所教會了。不論當時,還是現在,這麼年輕的人牧養一座大教會一定會產生一點問題。教會中有很多年老的「聖徒」認為,他們所知道的比「站在講壇上的這個小子」多得多。這就是為什麼保羅要說:「不可叫人小看你年輕」(4:12)。接著,他又慈愛的給這位年輕的牧者一些忠告。

        這是個相當高的期勉,保羅告訴提摩太:「在行為、愛心、信心、清潔上,都作信徒的榜樣」(4:12)。自律、一致,及信實必須成為這位年輕宗教領袖的角色。他要做一個沒有人可以批評,及人人要效法的人。問題是他如何達到這個目標?

        也許答案就是要專心。提摩太所受的教導是不可輕忽他的恩賜(4:14),擴大他「宣讀、勸勉、教導」的能力(4:13)。「他要殷勤去作,並要在此專心,使眾人看出他的長進來」,這樣他至少不會離譜。

        專心,持之以恆,及負責──不論是對年長的或年輕的人而言,都是三大要素,使一個人的生活在上帝面前有果效。也就是我們常說的那句「言行合一,身體力行」。

禱告

        父啊,當我們看到我們主耶穌在地上的事奉時,我們看到一個「言行合一」的完美榜樣。今天,我們知道要堅守您的話語向我們保證的應許──如果我們自己謹慎教訓,以及「不僅要做您的話語的所有者,而且也要做實行者」,我們就會體驗到救恩的好處,而且那些聽我們與看我們的人也會得到這個好處。奉主耶穌基督聖名,阿們!

Scriptures:Read 1 Timothy 4
Key Verse:"Take heed to yourself and to the doctrine. Continue in them, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you."(1 Timothy 4:16)
Overview

        As stated in the introduction, these letters were written by Paul to Timothy when Timothy was less than twenty-five years old and pastoring the church in Ephesus. Being young in the ministry, then as now, could be a problem. There were lots of older "saints" in the congregation who thought they knew more than "the kid in the pulpit". This is why Paul says, "Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young" (v.12- NIV). Then he goes on to give this young pastor some good fatherly advice.

        It's a pretty tall order. Paul tells Timothy to "set an example" in what he says — in lifestyle, in seeking the best for others, in faith, and in morality (v.!2b). Self-discipline, consistency and faithfulness are to characterize this youthful religious leader. He's to be someone no one can fault and everyone can emulate. The question is, how?

        Perhaps the answer is singleness of purpose. Timothy is instructed to focus on his gift (v.14) and expend his energies on "public reading of Scripture", and "preaching and teaching" (v.13). He is to give himself "wholly to them" (v.15) in a visible and accountable way. That way he'll stay on track.

        Singleness of purpose, follow-through, and accountability — these are the key ingredients, for both young and old, to make one's life count for God. It's the old story of practising what you preach.

Prayer

        Father, as we look at our Lord Jesus' ministry on earth, we see the perfect example of "practising what you preach". Today we grasp hold of the promise Your Word holds out to us — if we ourselves take heed to the doctrine and "be not just hearers of the Word but doers also", we will experience all the benefits of salvation, and so will those who hear and watch us.
