SACRIFICE

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

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

我們喜愛福音的記號端視我們為促進福音廣傳而預備犧牲的程度。
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

所要的是一個活祭。不是一個貸款而是禮物；不是妥協而是犧牲；不是最差的而是最好的；不是死的而是活的。我們的每一滴血、每一兩精力以及每一次心跳都必須獻給上帝。
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

如果耶穌基督是上帝並未我而死，對我而言，再也沒有甚麼樣為祂擺上的犧牲是太大的了。
God is looking for some wicks to burn.  The oil and the fire are free.

J. Hudson Taylor

上帝尋找一些燭心來燃燒。油與火都是免費的。
The only life that counts is the life that costs.

Frederick P. Wood

唯一計算的生命是用過的生命。
