“你们就要意念相同，爱心相同，有一样的心思，有一样的意念，使我的喜乐可以满足。” - 腓 2:2
在今天的经文中，保罗敦促所有相信基督的人要同心合意，显明同样的意念，转向耶稣和祂对众人的爱。基督的到来是为了让所有人得着丰盛的生命（约 10:10），这是神一直以来的心意。
保罗列举了一些我们和腓立比人作为在基督里的神儿女从祂所领受的好处：劝勉、安慰、慈悲、怜悯、谦卑和价值。与基督联合就是要像耶稣那样生活。
耶稣向每个人显明爱和怜悯。祂以神的无条件的爱来爱人类。祂无私地服事人，降卑自己，抬举人类。没有任何人是微不足道的，是太微小或太卑贱，以至于无法得到祂的关注。
我们被呼召成为耶稣的仆人，就要摆脱结党纷争和虚荣自负。我们被呼召要看别人比自己强，我们若在别人有需要时服事他们，就是在服事基督（见太 25:31-40）。
与耶稣联合，你和我有责任以这样的方式来生活，祂的爱和性情应该从我们身上流露出来。使所有与我们接触的人都能感觉到耶稣在带领着我们。
的确，我们的责任何等荣耀！
祷告
感谢你，天父，谢谢你藉着耶稣，我们的救主和君王，用你的生命充满我们。用你的灵浇灌我们，使我们能够像耶稣一样生活，愿你的荣耀超于一切。阿们。
腓立比书 2:1-4
1所以，在基督里若有什么劝勉，爱心有什么安慰，圣灵有什么交通，心中有什么慈悲怜悯，
2你们就要意念相同，爱心相同，有一样的心思，有一样的意念，使我的喜乐可以满足。
3凡事不可结党，不可贪图虚浮的荣耀，只要存心谦卑，各人看别人比自己强。
4各人不要单顾自己的事，也要顾别人的事。
Being United With Christ
"Make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind." - Philippians 2:2
In our reading for today, Paul urges all who believe in Christ to live together in unity, showing a like-mindedness that points to Jesus and the love he has for everyone. Christ came so that all people could have life "to the full" (John 10:10), as God has always intended.
Paul lists some of the benefits that we, like the Philippians, have received from God as his children in Christ: encouragement, comfort, tenderness, compassion, humility, and value. Being united with Christ is to live as Jesus did.
Jesus showed love and compassion to everyone. He loved people with God's unconditional love. He served people selflessly, humbling himself and lifting others up. No one was unimportant or too small or low-down to receive his attention.
We are called to live as servants of Jesus, free of selfish ambition and vain conceit. We are called to value others above ourselves, and when we serve others in their need, we are serving Christ himself (see Matthew 25:31-40).
In union with Jesus, you and I have a responsibility to live in such as way that all who come into contact with us will sense that Jesus is leading us. His love and character should flow from of us.
Indeed, we have an awesome responsibility!
Prayer
Thank you, Father, for filling us with life through Jesus, our Savior and King. Fill us to overflowing with your Spirit so that we can live like him, honoring you above all. Amen.
