梦游圣经66本书

📜 经文：歌罗西书 4:10

「与我一同坐监的亚里达古问你们安。巴拿巴的表弟马可也问你们安。（说到这马可，你们已经受了吩咐，他若到了你们那里，你们就接待他。）」

🌿 灵修默想

在保罗书信的结尾，

他没有急着谈教义，

也没有总结神学，

而是一个一个地提起人名。

这些名字，

不是成功案例，

而是被福音更新的生命故事。

亚里达古——

不是因犯罪被囚，

而是因基督被捆锁。

在世人眼中是失败者，

在神国里却是荣耀的同工。

马可——

曾经中途退场，

曾经引发分裂，

甚至一度不被信任。

但如今，他被重新提名，

被重新推荐，

被重新接待。

保罗特别嘱咐教会：

“你们要接待他。”

这不是情感上的喜欢，

而是属灵上的顺服。

不是因为马可完美，

而是因为基督已经在他身上动工。

这一节经文提醒我们：

教会不是记住人的过去，

而是见证神的更新。

不是拒绝跌倒的人，

而是为悔改的人预备位置。

今天，我们是否也在无声中为人贴上标签？

是否因一次失败，

就不再给人机会？

然而，

若神愿意重新接纳、重新差派，

我们是否愿意打开门，

学习接待？

🙏 祷告

主啊，

求你赐我一颗像你一样的心。

不只看人的过去，

而是看你正在成就的更新。

让我尊荣为你受苦的人，

也让我有勇气接待曾经跌倒、

却正在被你恢复的生命。

使我的生命，

成为一个让人重新站立的地方。

奉主耶稣基督的名，

阿们。

📖 Accepted Co-Workers: Restored to Trust in Christ

📅 Date: December 25, 2025

📜 Scripture：Colossians 4:10

“Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, greets you, as does Mark, the cousin of Barnabas (concerning whom you have received instructions—if he comes to you, welcome him).”

🌿 Devotional Reflection

At the close of Paul’s letter,
he does not rush to discuss doctrine,
nor does he conclude with theology.
Instead, he carefully mentions names—
one by one.

These names
are not success stories,
but life stories renewed by the gospel.

Aristarchus—
imprisoned not because of crime,
but bound for the sake of Christ.
In the eyes of the world, a failure;
in the kingdom of God,
a co-worker crowned with honor.

Mark—
one who once withdrew midway,
whose actions once caused division,
and who was even, for a time, mistrusted.
Yet now, he is named again,
commended again,
and received again.

Paul gives the church a clear instruction:
“Welcome him.”

This is not emotional preference,
but spiritual obedience.
Not because Mark is flawless,
but because Christ has already been at work in him.

This verse reminds us:
the church is not a place that remembers people’s pasts,
but a community that bears witness to God’s renewal.
Not a place that rejects those who fall,
but one that prepares room
for those who repent and are restored.

Today, do we silently label others?
Do we deny someone another chance
because of a single failure?

Yet if God is willing
to receive again and to send again,
are we willing to open the door
and learn to welcome?

🙏 Prayer

Lord,
grant me a heart that reflects Yours.
Teach me not to dwell on a person’s past,
but to discern the renewal
You are bringing to pass.

Help me honor those who suffer for You,
and give me the courage to welcome those
who once fell,
yet are now being restored by You.

May my life become
a place where others can stand again.
In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Amen.
