耶稣的付出、摆上、牺牲，他所做的一切，到底什么促使他有这个永不言弃、直到一切都成就的动力？为什么他能够那么甘心、那么愿意、至死不渝？

答案就在于他跟父神亲密的关系：父的心就是他的心，父的心跳就是他的心跳，他脑子里想的也尽都是要父神喜悦，要父神得荣耀，没想过自己的需要。那就是真正的爱的关系，那就是爱的力量。

唯愿我们的服事，所谓的“付出”和“摆上”，那微不足道的一点禁食祷告，也出自于在乎耶稣和爱耶稣的心，不是单单因为要国家进步，不是单单因为要教会复兴，更不是单单因为个人蒙福和利益。

主啊，帮助我们所做的一切都真的真的是因为爱你、在乎你、喜欢跟你在一起。。。

“他就稍往前走，俯伏在地，祷告说：“我父啊！倘若可行，求你叫这杯离开我！然而，不要照我的意思，只要照你的意思。”
～ 太26：39 ～

The sacrifice, offering up of Himself, price He paid, and all that Jesus did, what was the thing that motivated Him to never give up till everything was accomplished? What made Him so willing, giving His all to the point of death?

The answer lies in His intimate relationship with Father God: Father God’s heart was His heart, Father God’s heartbeat was His heartbeat, all that was in His mind was to please Father God and to bring glory to Father God, never considered anything for Himself. That is a true love relationship, such is the power of love.

If only our serving, the so-called “sacrifice” and “price we pay”, and that meagre fast and prayer, are really all because of our thought and love for Jesus, and not just because we want our country to improve, or our church to have revival, and even more so, not because of personal blessings and benefits.

O Lord, help us to truly truly do everything because we love You, think of You and love to be with You…

“Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.””
~ Matthew 26:39 ~

圣经很清楚告诉我们，主耶稣已为我们立了榜样，叫我们学习他，跟随他的脚踪行。。。耶稣走过的路，也有崎岖和辛苦的，所以让我们不要被肉体和世界价值观给蒙蔽，以为十架的道路就是轻松舒服，以为遇到困难就是没有主的恩宠。反而，神的话清楚告诉我们绝对会有困难和考验，所以我们非常需要主的恩典和力量扶持我们渡过。

唯愿我们走这条路时，不要盲目的看到前面有脚踪就跟随，也可不要忘记时刻都抬头看看带路的还是不是主，还是我们已经偏行己路或跟错人了。。。

“你们蒙召原是为此，因基督也为你们受过苦，给你们留下榜样，叫你们跟随他的脚踪行。”
～ 彼前2:21 ～

The Bible very clearly tells us, the Lord Jesus had set an example for us to learn from Him and to follow His footsteps… The path that Jesus had walked on was not always easy and smooth, so let us not be deceived by our own flesh and worldly values to think that the journey of the cross is always light and easy, and misunderstanding that encountering difficulties means we have lost God’s favour. Instead the Word of God clearly tells us there will be difficulties and trials, that is why we so need God’s grace and strength to carry us through.

May we all as we walk on this journey, not to follow blindly just because we see footsteps in front, but rather always remember to lift up your head to see whether it is still Jesus leading the way, or we have already gone wayward to our own path or are actually following others…

“To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps.”
~ 1 Peter 2:21 ~

我相信很爱我们的天父很愿意赐福给我们，让我们在地上的生活无忧无虑。。。但物质上再怎么蒙福，那些也都是短暂的！因此让我们不要在很“蒙福”的时候而迷失方向，开始体贴肉体，只追求舒适生活，最后选择走宽敞道路，失去纪律，而忘记了主耶稣的警告。。。

^“你们要进窄门。因为引到灭亡，那门是宽的，路是大的，进去的人也多；引到永生，那门是窄的，路是小的，找着的人也少。”
～太7:13-14～

I believe our Heavenly Father who loves us very much is very willing to bless us, so our lives on earth are free of worries and anxieties… but no matter how blessed you are materially, it is still temporary! Therefore, let us not lose our direction while being very “blessed” and start pleasing our flesh and desiring a comfortable life only, ending up choosing the wide and easy road, losing discipline and forgetting the warning of our Lord Jesus…

“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.”
~ Matthew 7:13-14 ~
