用一張圖說明神的恩典

用一張圖說明神的恩典。

Using a diagram to illustrate God’s grace. 如果海水是從上澆灌而來的，那麼圖中淹水的順序是丙→乙→丁→甲。 If the seawater flows from above, then in the diagram the sequence of flooding is C → B → D → A. 如果神的恩典是海水，順序也是一樣，因為所處的位置越低，人生的苦難就越多，對神恩典的需求也就越迫切。 If God’s grace is like seawater, the sequence is the same, because the lower the position, the greater the sufferings in life, and the more urgent the need for God’s grace. 這就是為什麼主耶穌總是接近苦難、殘缺、犯罪的人。 This is why the Lord Jesus always draws near to those who suffer, who are broken, or who have sinned. 也就是為什麼有錢人、高學歷者……越不容易接受福音的原因。 This also explains why the wealthy and highly educated often find it harder to receive the gospel. 耶穌聽見就說：「康健的人用不著醫生，有病的人才用得著。……我來本不是召義人，乃是召罪人。」（太9:12-13） Jesus heard this and said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick… For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.” (Matthew 9:12-13)
