管家职责(之二)

Jun 27, 2024

过了很久,这些奴仆的主人回来了,要跟他们结帐。(马太福音25:19)

在关于才干的这个出色比喻中,耶稣指出我们要对上帝履行管家职责的两件事:一、“按各人的才干分别交给……”(马太福音25:15)上帝知道你的管理能力,祂不会给与超出你能力的范围,所以不要向祂多求。祂知道祂对你的呼召。比喻里的主人并没有把管理五千银币的职责强加于只能管理一千银币的仆人,反之亦然。当然我们并非是指管理很多东西的人就是最好的管家,而管理不多东西的人就一定是糟糕的管家。上帝非常清楚我们每个人的才干,并据此来分派职责。因此,你不必为祂所没有给你的托付负责,也没有必要替别人负责。你只需要承担自己的责任。无论上帝托付你去管理什么,都是因为知道你能胜任。二、“过了很久,这些奴仆的主人回来了,要跟他们结帐。”看起来好像是“很久”,但耶稣必定再来!祂没有改变祂的决定或旨意。祂第一次来是拯救,第二次来是掌权,并且赏赐祂的管家。“谁是那个受主人委托管理……又忠心又精明的管家呢?主人回家时,看见他尽忠职守,他就有福了。”(路加福音12:42-43)不要灰心,也不要分心,要定睛在奖赏上。试想当主耶稣对你说“做得好”,你那时的感受如何?那就是你想听到的,不是吗?
