    你要记念耶稣基督乃是大卫的後裔，他从死里复活，正合乎我所传的福音。-提摩太后书2章8节
    Remember that Jesus Christ, of the seed of David, was raised from the dead according to my gospel. □2 Timothy 2:8

    在1952年，倪柝声因信奉基督而被捕，遭到监禁，他在监狱中度过了馀生。1972年5月30日，他死在狱中。後来他的侄女去领取他的遗物时，拿到了一张警卫在他床边找到的纸条，上面写著他的生命见证：

    「基督是神的儿子，为人赎罪而死，三日复活。这是宇宙间最大的事实，我信基督而死。——倪柝声」

    据说，使徒保罗也是因为信仰基督而殉道。在他殉道前不久所写的一封信中，保罗劝戒他的读者：「要记念耶稣基督乃是大卫的後裔，他从死里复活，正合乎我所传的福音。我为这福音受苦难……然而，上帝的道却不被捆绑。」（提摩太后书2章8-9节）

    或许上帝并没有要我们像历代无数的基督徒那样，为见证基督而殉道，但上帝的确呼召我们成为活的见证，见证耶稣在我们身上所做的一切。无论结果如何，我们都应该对上帝所赐的恩典心怀感恩，将耶稣为我们所成就的一切，告诉他人。HDF

    荣耀归於主基督，藉我彰显他恩典；广传他的生命道，惟慕善工并做好。Whittle

    用口传扬福音，并以生命见证基督。
    Let your life as well as your lips speak for Christ.

Living Testament
March 13, 2013 □ by Dennis Fisher

    Remember that Jesus Christ, of the seed of David, was raised from the dead according to my gospel. □2 Timothy 2:8

    Watchman Nee was arrested for his faith in Christ in 1952, and he spent the rest of his life in prison. He died in his jail cell on May 30, 1972. When his niece came to collect his few possessions, she was given a scrap of paper that a guard had found by his bed. On it was written his life』s testimony:

    「Christ is the Son of God who died for the redemption of sinners and was resurrected after three days. This is the greatest truth in the universe. I die because of my belief in Christ□Watchman Nee.」

    Tradition says that the apostle Paul also was martyred for his faith in Christ. In a letter written shortly before his death, Paul exhorted his readers: 「Remember that Jesus Christ, of the seed of David, was raised from the dead according to my gospel, for which I suffer trouble . . . ; but the Word of God is not chained」 (2 Tim. 2:8-9).

    We may not be called upon to be martyred as witnesses to the reality of Christ□as millions of His followers through the centuries have been□but we are all called to be a living testament of Jesus』 work on our behalf. No matter the outcome, from a heart of gratitude for God』s gracious gift we can tell others what Jesus has done for us.

The Christ of God to glorify,
His grace in us to magnify;
His Word of life to all make known□
Be this our work, and this alone. □Whittle
