蒙召事主

“学生不能高过先生；仆人不能高过主人。”

马太福音10:24

耶稣邀请每一个跟随他的人作他的门徒。耶稣对他们说：「来跟从我，我要叫你们得人如得鱼一样。」”（马可福音1:17）我们得救是为了服事，我们得生命是为了更多的生命。我们是“从淤泥中被拉上来”，也做得人的渔夫。

在我们的布道大会上，成千上万的年轻人愿意把自己奉献给基督，成为全职传道人。每一个基督徒都应该把事奉主当作是全职的，无论他的使命是什么。有证据显示，新一代的年轻人比美国历史上任何时期都更渴慕神。

年轻人追求冒险和刺激，但是他们想要更多的东西——一种信仰，一种可以为之奉献自己的事业、一面可以追随的旗帜。最崇高的事业就是信仰耶稣基督，最伟大的旗帜就是加略山上救赎全人类的、十字架的宝血。

作主的门徒，是人类最伟大的呼召。想一想，与神同工，拯救世界！“若有人服事我，就当跟从我；我在哪里，服事我的人也要在那里；若有人服事我，我父必尊重他。」”（约翰福音12:26）

基督门徒身份让我们跟基督更亲近。一个真正的忠心事奉主、荣耀主的门徒，必蒙神的喜悦和称赞。

今日祷告：

天父，让我成为结出果子的门徒。我将我的生命奉献给祢，尽心尽意尽力侍奉你。祈求祢帮助我使其他门徒也全心跟随祢；奉耶稣的名，阿门。

SAVED TO SERVE

[Jesus said:]The disciple is not above his master,nor the servant above his lord.Matthew 10:24

Jesus invites each of His followers to become His disciple.“Jesus said unto them,Come ye after me,and I will make you to become fishers of men”(Mark 1:17).We are saved to server;we are redeemed to reproduce spiritually;we are“fished out of the miry clay”so that we in turn may become fishers of men.

During our Crusades thousands of young people have surrendered their lives to Christ for full-time vocational Christian service.(All Christians ought to consider themselves in the service of God full time,no matter what their calling.)There is evidence that the new generation of young people is responding to Christ more than any previous generation in American history.

Young people seek adventure and excitement;but youth wants more-it wants something to believe in;it wants a cause to give itself to and a flag to follow.The only cause that is big enough is the cause of Jesus Christ;and its flag is the bloodstained body that was lifted on the cross of Calvary for the redemption of the world.

This invitation to discipleship is the most thrilling ever to come to mankind.Just imagine being a working partner with God in the redemption of the world!Jesus challenged,“If any man serve me,let him follow me;and where I am,there shall also my servant be:if any man serve me,him will my Father honor”(John 12:26).

Christian discipleship gives us the privilege of being associated with Christ intimately.And the faithful discharging of the glorious responsibilities of true discipleship invokes the approval and favor of God Himself.

Pray for the Day:

Father,make me a disciple worth reproducing.I dedicate my life to You to serve You with all my heart and all my soul and all my strength.I pray that You will help me to make other disciples who will follow you with all their heart as well;in Jesus’Name,Amen.
