19. 『在基督裏』如同在
『那地』得產業
以弗所書 2:11–3:6
In Christ as
in the Land
- “Old Testament Ethics for
the People of God”
Life in Community, The Saint John’s Bible, 2008
“這奧秘就是:外族人在基督耶穌裏,藉着福音,可以同
為承受產業的人,同為一體,同為應許的承受人。”
22. 教會的三重職能
What do prophets do? Their work is discerning,
communicating, exposing, seeing that justice is
done, revealing outcomes - the very thing God’s
people can do in corporations and homes.
What do priests do? Their work is bridge
building, mediating, expressing meaning, evoking
faith blessing bringing grace — again what the
whole of God’s people is able to do in the world.
What do kings do? King work is ruling,
organising, planning, providing, nurturing,
integrating, settling arguments, solving problems,
co-ordinating, expediting, consummating — again
ways that God’s people serve in so-called secular
occupations, in church and in the home.
— The Other Six Days, R.Paul Stevens
