管家职责(之一)

Jun 26, 2024

把帐目交代清楚……(路加福音16:2)

“所有权”的问题是理解合乎圣经要义的“管家职责”的关键。管家并不拥有他所管理的产业,因此在处理事情时需要留心取悦老板,也就是产业的所有者。这个做法在今天令我们感到很不舒服。我们心想:“时间是我自己的,用来开发职业的能力也是我的,因为是自我努力培养出这些能力的。这是我自己的东西,是花钱买来的。”《圣经》说:“谁使你与众不同呢?你有哪一样不是领受的呢?既然一切都是领受的,你为什么还自夸,好像不是领受的?”(哥林多前书4:7)尽可能记住:你所拥有的每一样美好的东西都是上帝赐给的!如同一个明智的投资者,良善的管家会做以下三件事:一、他展望未来,拒绝那些只顾当下及时行乐而挥霍无度之人的影响。二、他训练有素,颇有耐性。在人生的跌宕起伏中始终保持稳定,他深知“行善不可灰心气馁,因为到时候必有收获。”(加拉太书6:9)三、他为主人的利益而冒险。这并非愚蠢冒进,而是在祷告和深思熟虑后冒险,因为没有任何投资者能完全保证发生剧变时,他的经济不会受损。然而,不同在于,当我们跟从上帝对我们生命的引领时,即便我们在地上受损失,在天上仍然有丰富的收益。
