Chapter 67: Reappointment of Sven

Sven became a newcomer. It's his own feelings.

In the past, he felt that although he was not informal, he always maintained a big festival. Now he realized that he had only been a subsection before, and some aspects were reasonable, not the worst, but he had lost a lot of money in the most critical sections.

I used to know nothing about the Creator and Redeemer, and I thought that I had learned five cars and was complacent all day long, but now I think that I am really ashamed of myself, and all I know is the stuff of ignorant naughty children.

In the past, I was a good teacher, and intentionally or unintentionally showed off my first name and qualifications, but now that I think about it, I really don't know how high the sky is. I'm afraid that my little knowledge is not qualified as a student.

Not to mention comparing with God, this Mai Ke in front of me, I am far behind. Martial arts knowledge is still secondary, looking at his knowledge, I can't reach it.

I am truly sinful and ignorant, useless and useless. In this way, have I not only failed my father's expectations of me, but also the Creator's purpose for creating me?

Those who are proud and conceited, once they are frustrated, will be more depressed, and it will take longer to get rid of this feeling. Obviously, Sven is also caught in this strange circle.

This is why some people, after becoming Christians, want to throw away all the things they have before and not let them serve the new owner of life.

Mai Ke understood this kind of thinking very thoroughly, and immediately gave Sven Bible counseling.

"Brother Sven, don't deny yourself too much. As a disciple of Christ Jesus, we are to deny the motives, methods, and purposes that are not in accordance with God's will. If all three aspects are resolved, all of your original abilities, knowledge, wealth, equipment, and wisdom can continue to be retained and used in the service of God. ”

Mai Ke explained to him the principles of the Christian faith, and then gave examples.

For example, if you have a specialty of being a teacher and teaching students, you can continue to play it to the glory of God for the benefit of those who love Him. How about a brother himself try to put your new life into practice according to the principles I just mentioned?"

"Okay! I'll try. Mai Ke's words were like a bright light, showing him a road that leads to the boundless sky. My heart suddenly flashed with the regrets that I had hidden in my heart before. That is, he didn't continue after he got Xie Yuan, and he didn't have a chance to confront the emperor's court. Well, let me now take this answer as an answer to the question of the Lord of heaven and earth. The master of my life is much older than that Emperor Raushzi.

"The motivation is not to teach students to be famous, or to maintain Manchu rule, or to serve anyone else, but to let them know that they are sinners, that God requires of them, and that they will return to God's family, just like you and me. ”

Seeing Mai Ke's first approval, Sven was greatly encouraged and continued to say the second content.

"In terms of approach, I think the main thing is that there is a new type of relationship between teachers and students. I will no longer be on high and serve the students, because they are the objects of God's work for me. ”

Mai Ke once again bowed his head and further told him, "The direction and foundation you said are correct. God has perfect teachings on the specific methods. These teachings are recorded in the Bible. The Bible is the supreme authority of our Christian faith. I'll get you a copy later. ”

Third, the purpose of my teaching is to make people saved, because only when sinners are saved can God be glorified and God's purpose for creating man. ”

"That's good! That's the whole thing. However, judging from the specific content of your teaching, it may be part of the purpose rather than the end itself. But no part of it can be countered to efforts to achieve that goal. Of course, it does not affect the realization of this purpose, or does not contribute to the realization of this purpose at all. ”

"Okay, thank you Mai Ke...... Brother, I know, remember. It must be done. Sven straightened out the issue and was relieved.

After a pause, Sven asked apprehensively. "I reconsidered my original choice and felt that it would be inappropriate to go to prison again. Can I change my job?"

Mai Ke pondered for a while, and then said to Sven, "Brother Sven, God has God's will, and His will is higher than what man thinks. God has known about this change in you, but he has not stopped you, and he has saved you only after you have chosen, which shows the special significance of God's plan for you.

Sven showed a confused look, thinking as he watched Mai Ke speak.

The Bible teaches us that Christians are not going to change careers, but to change lives in their original occupations. After our lives are changed, we will work for God in the profession God raises us up.

In general, the reason why God saved a person in that occupation, or by extension, in that environment, is to have that person who is saved work with God, and also to save people in that environment, to save those who need to be saved in the same circumstances. Got it?"

"I see! Not only does my post of deputy minister need to be changed, but it should not be changed. Okay, I'll just keep it the same. ”

Thank you, brother, for our work for God in different places. However, I would like to remind you that your position is not static, but fundamentally changing. ”

Sven's eyes showed a little confusion. What's the matter with this brother Mai Ke? It hasn't changed for a while, but why has it changed so much for a while?

"Brother, do not be in a hurry. You're new to Christ, and you're not familiar with the two different perspectives of Christians. I'll give you a brief explanation, and you'll soon understand.

To put it simply, what does not change is the external form, which can also be said to be the material condition prepared by God. These material conditions were originally created by God for people to use to serve God's purposes, but as a result, sinners misused and misused them.

"It's not the fault of the material itself, it's not the fault of the environment, it's the fault of the people who use the material, the people who are within the environment. Because if people do not change, no matter how they change their material conditions and circumstances, they will still be sinful, but on the contrary, if they change, they will do things that glorify God and make God acceptable to them.

I think Brother Sven can understand this perspective. Isn't that so?" Mai Ke further confirmed with Sven.

"I can barely understand, although it still takes a lot of effort. I've never heard of your new terms and concepts. It's much more difficult than the questions in the exam. ”

Mai Ke secretly laughed, "I didn't let you do those questions in the priest qualification exam." You don't know what it means to be hard to answer when you see those questions. "After thinking about it, if I want to take the exam, I'm afraid I will also lose, not to mention anything else, I can't meet the requirements of the format of the eight-strand essay. ”

Mai Ke shook his head, pulled these drifting thoughts back, and then moved on to another, more important perspective.

"Although the external material conditions remain the same, although the environment is still the same, the essence of your work has been turned upside down, so it is a fundamental change. I'll give you a few changes to show you, and you'll know how important it is to look at the problem from this perspective.

"First of all, as we said earlier, once you change your life, the motivation, the way, and the purpose of doing things change, and you also use teaching as an example to connect with reality. But these are not air-to-air, but have rich concrete content. On this basis, your position, the daily affairs in which you perform it, have a specific purpose and a clear direction.

What we plan to do is to do God's will on earth as it is in heaven. How to do this, of course, is to remove the current Manchu rule, because it is the biggest obstacle. So your job is part of that big picture. Specifically, you want to do your best to turn the people in prison into people who serve the bigger picture.

"Since we're all working towards one goal, you're not alone. Whatever you need there, all the brothers and sisters will help you. At the same time, you need to help those in need. This includes what I told you before, if you need to take action when you fight against 100,000 sects, you have to help.

The difference is that what used to be a condition and a responsibility is now voluntary, because the brothers and sisters share the same feelings and weal and woe. The battle of the whole as one person is obviously very different from the efforts of the individual. This brother should be imaginable, even if he doesn't have a lot of experience.

"Yes, I can understand that working together adds more fun. Now I'm longing for it. "Sven probably has always been lonely before, so it's very emotional to mention this. Although some students adore him, it is not a substitute for the joy of like-mindedness.

"The most important difference is the difference in the results of your teaching. The most successful thing you have ever been in passing on your knowledge has been, and the result is that your students are better than the blue. Even this is unexpected, not in a hundred years.

"Now, your purpose and corollary is to change human life, and its essence is to save a mortal person from death and become a man with eternal life. I think that even if you taught 10,000 people who were born of the blue, it was not as good as 1/10,000 of the people who received eternal life.

"There's no way to compare that, and I think this is the most important dà. I'm going to call them all over in the dark night and be my student again. Sven fully agrees with Mai Ke's statement.

"There's another point that's particularly important. Although you are appointed by me as a deputy minister of a part of the prison system, this is only superficial. Mai Ke continued to list the differences between Sven and Sven.

In essence, you are God's representative because you are the only Christian. According to God's purpose for man, each person is a representative of God who has been appointed to govern the earth on behalf of God on earth.

"But after committing a crime, you are not up to the task. Christians are God-born people, so it is natural for them to take up this representational mission.

"As you fulfill your duties, you must not forget this mission. To be God's representative is to ensure the fulfillment of God's will and to manifest God's glory. I guess you haven't thought of this yet, Brother Sven?"

"I never thought that I, a sinner, would have the privilege of being God's representative. It seems that I can only work hard and die on my own. Sven was deeply shocked and never realized that he could be a co-worker of God, take on such a mission, and participate in the building of God's kingdom.

"In light of that. There are also adjustments to your surface work. Although this adjustment is relatively insignificant from the fundamental changes mentioned above. Huang Yukun is still the prison warden, and you still obey his management in the management of prison affairs. But when it comes to faith, you have leadership responsibilities.

"Your first task is to transform Huang Yukun as a person, and then transform everyone else. In order to accommodate your new assignment, I am appointing you Deputy Warden of Faith, in addition to your former position as Deputy Minister. ”

Associate Warden of Faith. Well, this official title is quite special. "No problem, I'll do my best to do whatever you ask me to do. I'll look for you if there's a problem anyway. That's fine, right?"

"Of course no problem!" said Mai Ke. But he added a conditional sentence in his heart: "As long as you can find me." ”
