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。 |
