牧者的话 - 27-07-2009

主内列位同道及朋友们平安:

外祖母林亚宇老姐妹在中年时被接回天家一天,她从死里复活后把在天上所看到的光景告诉家人,她提到在天上有许多的小孩子。昨天印尼9岁大的小女孩爱莉莎唱五首华文歌,感动许多人,还有10岁之利巡小弟弟弹鼓,会众都为他感恩。在中国有关“大学”一书的第一章孔子说到「正心、修身、齐家、治国及平天下」乃人生的成功秘诀。马可福音10:1~12先讲到夫妻是一体,到第14节主耶稣为门徒拒绝小孩而「恼怒」。主对彼得说若你爱我必喂养小羊(小孩子)。孟子说:为大人者,当有赤子之心,就是小孩的心性。马太福音18:4说:「你们若不回转,变成小孩的样式,断不得进天国。」让我们学习小孩的心性,有7点如下:
1) 天真无伪 2) 不持自己
3) 一心信赖 4) 恳切领受
5) 谦卑温柔 6) 安静等候
7) 爱念父母及弟兄姐妹
本主日虔守圣餐,请出席。领人归主可得喜乐的冠冕。敬祝

拥有小孩子的心性 信望爱聚会全体执委

Dear fellow and friends

Peace!

My maternal grandmother, in her mid aged, returned to the Heavenly Home for a day. When she resurrected, she related the heavenly scene to her family members. She mentioned that there were many children in heaven. Yesterday we had a little girl from Indonesia by the name of _______ who sang 5 Chinese songs to the congregation. She was only 9 years old and her songs touch many. Our very own Lemuel Ang played the drum and everyone was thankful to God for him. From China, in the 1st chapter of the “University”, Confucius said the secret of success in life lied on these 5 virtues “gravity, generosity of soul, sincerity, earnestness, and kindness.” Mark 10:1-12 first mentioned about husband and wife as one body and in verse 14 we saw Jesus was annoyed because the disciples had rejected the little children. The Lord told Peter that if he loved Him, he is to feed the little lambs (Little children). Mencius said “Great is the man who has not lost his childlike heart.” Matthew 18:4 stated “Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.”. Let us learn the following 7 virtues of a child:
1) adorable 2) not self centredness
3) dependence 4) receive with sincerity
5) humble 6) wait patiently
7) love of parents and siblings

This Sunday is Communion Sunday. Please invite your friends and relative to participate in the feast of joyous crown.

Be like children
