SACRIFICE

犧牲

Sacrifice is the ecstasy of giving the best we have to the one we love the most.

J. Oswald Sanders

犧牲是將我們所有最好的給予我們最愛之人的喜悅。

He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.

Jim Elliot

一個人將自己無法擁有的給予別人,好得著不會喪失的,這個人可不是個傻子。

Too much of our Christianity today is drenched with sentiment, but devoid of sacrifice.

Frank Farley

今天有太多的教會沈醉在激情之中,而沒有絲毫犧牲。

Sacrifice without obedience is sacrilege.

William Gurnall

沒有順服的犧牲只是褻瀆而已。

The sign of our professed love for the gospel is the measure of sacrifice we are prepared to make in order to help its progress.

Ralph P. Martin

我們說自己愛福音,最能看出來的,就是我們願意為福音的傳揚付出多少代價。

Nothing less than a living sacrifice is demanded.  Not a loan, but a gift; not a compromise, but a sacrifice, not our poorest, but our best; not a dead but a living offering.  Each drop of our blood, each ounce of our energy, each throb of our heart, we must offer to God.

Joseph Pearce

神所要求的,不是少於全然的「活祭」──不是借出,而是獻上;不是妥協,而是犧牲;不是我們最微薄的,而是最上好的;不是死的,而是活著的奉獻。我們每一滴血、每一分力、每一次心跳,都當獻給神。

If Jesus Christ be God and died for me, then no sacrifice can be too great for me to make for him.

C. T. Studd

若耶穌基督是神,且為我捨命,那麼我為祂所獻上的任何犧牲,都不為過。

God is looking for some wicks to burn.  The oil and the fire are free.

J. Hudson Taylor

神正在尋找可以燃燒的燈芯—油與火,祂已白白賜下。

The only life that counts is the life that costs.

Frederick P. Wood

惟有付上代價的生命,才是真正有價值的生命。
