當知道要找三段與作門徒+Make
Disciples相關的經文或金句時,即時想到在前一天晚上在小組聚會中說出的一句,是馬太福音五16:「你們的光也當這樣照在人前,叫他們看見你們的好行為,便將榮耀歸給你們在天上的父。」
作門徒是要榮神益人,這句金句正是要我們藉著真光在人面前有好行為,用生命影響生命,在人面前見證基督的愛,使人得著益處,將榮耀歸給神。
另外有一節經文也差不多同時出現,便是約翰福音十五5,後來再打開聖經看下去,於是再加上接著的幾節,即約翰福音十五5-8:「5我是葡萄樹,你們是枝子。常在我裡面的,我也常在他裡面,這人就多結果子;因為離了我,你們就不能做什麼。6人若不常在我裡面,就像枝子丟在外面枯乾,人拾起來,扔在火裡燒了。7你們若常在我裡面,我的話也常在你們裡面,凡你們所願意的,祈求,就給你們成就。8你們多結果子,我父就因此得榮耀,你們也就是我的門徒了。」在這裏也指出怎樣成為主的門徒。
作主的門徒,我們所作的都要以神為中心,而因著與神同在,我們便會多結果子,神也會成就我們所求,祂也因此得著榮耀。如果我們離開了神或不以神為中心,那麼我們便不能作甚麼。想到這裡,另一節經文也立時浮起,便是腓立比書四13:「我靠著那加給我力量的,凡事都能作。」這節經文與以上約翰福音十五5的最後兩句互相呼應。
「因為離了我,你們就不能做什麼。」和「我靠著那加給我力量的,凡事都能作。」提醒我們凡事都要依靠神,讓神的話在我們心裡作指引,讓真理在我們心裏時刻提醒我們,叫我們隨時隨地作主的門徒。

Psalms
#105: 5-7
Remember
the wonders he has done,
his miracles, and the judgments he pronounced,
you
his servants, the descendants of Abraham,
his chosen ones, the children of Jacob.
He
is the LORD our God;
his judgments are in all the earth.
As a follower of Jesus, the source of strength
derives from remembering God's wonders done for us. What were recorded in
the bible is actually proved by our own experience. We have the mutual
acknowledgment. God chose Abraham and blessed him to be Father of Nations
(Gen 17:5), we are all children of Abraham, by the grace of Jesus'
salvation/redemption. Not only that, "His judgments are in all the
earth" gives the sound comfort and encouragement to those who are in down
time, darkness or being unfairly treated. Vice versa, also a reminder
that we have to treat people with His standard, to love one another as His
precepts.
