優雅的服事

 今天 Stephen 在坪林教會說：「行善不是牧師一個人該做的，是教會每一個肢體都要去做。」（經文：「我們原是他的工作，在基督耶穌裏造成的，為要叫我們行善，就是神所預備叫我們行的。」以弗所書 2:10)，我想起山本由伸（MLB道奇隊的日本投手）關於他特殊的「BC訓練法」中的一句話：

「一塊肌肉出100分力，不如全身640塊肌肉各出1分力。」

只要每一分力量的連結、傳導順暢，結合起來的力量就會很驚人。就像我們服事一樣，相信神的帶領，彼此協作，每個人就都能輕鬆優雅的服事。

Today at Pinglin Church, Stephen said: “Doing good is not something only the pastor should do; it is something every member of the church needs to do.” (Scripture: “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.” — Ephesians 2:10)

It reminded me of a quote from Yamamoto Yoshinobu (the Japanese pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers in MLB) regarding his unique BC training method:

“One muscle giving 100 units of strength is not as good as all 640 muscles each giving 1 unit of strength.”

As long as the connection and transmission of every little bit of strength flow smoothly, the combined power becomes astonishing. In the same way, when we serve, we follow God’s guidance, work together, and each of us can serve with ease and grace.
