主讲：郑伟健传道

 引言：模型的组装

一、圣灵带领，进入合一（徒15:1-35）

1. 意见不同，容易分裂（v1-5）
法利赛背景的信徒认为，外邦人若不受割礼、守律法，就不能得救。他们不是不爱神，而是把传统加进福音里。于是保罗与巴拿巴大大争辩。很多时候，人不是拒绝耶稣，而是觉得“只有耶稣还不够”。神提醒我们，真正得救不是靠行为，而是靠恩典与信心。

2. 属灵领袖，起来发声（v6-11）
彼得没有急着讲话，而是等大家辩论后才起来。他不是用权柄压人，而是把众人带回神的作为。神已经赐圣灵给外邦人，证明神已经接纳他们。彼得说：“不要把我们不能负的轭放在人身上。”真正属灵的带领，不是增加重担，而是帮助人更靠近耶稣。

3. 回到真理，合一核心（v12-21）
巴拿巴与保罗见证神的工作，雅各则引用圣经确认这是神的心意。真正的合一，不是妥协，而是一起回到真理。雅各说：“不可难为那归服神的外邦人。”真理上不能妥协，但关系上需要舍己。不要把自己的习惯，变成别人的重担。

4. 同心同行，坚固肢体（v22-35）
使徒、长老与全教会“同心定意”，并说：“圣灵和我们定意。”他们不只是写信，也派人亲自安慰与坚固弟兄姐妹。真正的合一，不只是停止争论，而是让人重新得安慰、被建立，并继续一起前行。

二、追求成熟，继续同行（徒15:36-41）

1. 即使不同，仍然相爱（v36-39）
保罗与巴拿巴因为马可的问题起了争论。一个重视使命，一个重视恢复。两边都爱主，只是看重不同。圣经没有记载他们彼此攻击，后来保罗也重新肯定马可。成熟不是永远没有冲突，而是在冲突之后，仍然愿意彼此尊重。

2. 即使分开，仍然前行（v40-41）
虽然他们分开了，但没有停止服事。一支宣教队变成两支，神继续使用他们。安提阿教会也没有选边站，而是把他们交托给主。真正成熟的人，不会因为一次冲突，就停止跟随神。

总结：先关系、后事工，追求合一，进入成熟




  

Acts Chapter 15:  Unity First, Then Launch’
 GK611 Morning Devotion

Speaker: Ps Asher Chang

 Introduction: Assembling a Model

I. Led by the Holy Spirit into Unity (Acts 15:1–35) 

1. Differences of Opinion Lead to Division (v1–5)
Believers with a Pharisaic background believed that Gentiles could not be saved unless they were circumcised and kept the Law. It was not that they did not love God, but that they had added tradition to the gospel. Consequently, Paul and Barnabas had a heated debate. Often, people do not reject Jesus, but feel that ‘Jesus alone is not enough’. God reminds us that true salvation comes not through works, but through grace and faith.

2. Spiritual Leaders Rising to Speak (v6–11)
Peter did not rush to speak, but waited until the debate had run its course before rising. He did not use authority to suppress others, but led everyone back to God’s work. God had already poured out the Holy Spirit upon the Gentiles, proving that He had accepted them. Peter said, ‘Do not place a yoke on people that we ourselves cannot bear.’ .” True spiritual leadership is not about adding burdens, but helps them draw closer to Jesus.

3. Returning to the Truth: The Core of Unity (v12–21)
Barnabas and Paul testified to God’s work, whilst James quoted Scripture to confirm that this was God’s will. True unity is not compromise, but a collective return to the truth. James said, ‘we should not trouble those from among the Gentiles who are turning to God’. We cannot compromise on the truth, but in relationships we need self-sacrifice. Do not turn your own customs into a burden for others.

4. Walking in Unity, Strengthening the Body (v22–35)
The apostles, elders, and the whole church came to one accord and said, “It seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us.” They not only wrote a letter, but also sent people personally to encourage and strengthen the brothers and sisters. True unity is not merely stopping arguments, but helping people regain comfort, be built up, and continue moving forward together.

 II. Pursuing Maturity, Continuing the Journey Together (Acts 15:36–41) 

1. Loving One Another Despite Differences (v36–39)
Paul and Barnabas had a disagreement over the matter of Mark. One prioritised the mission, whilst the other prioritised restoration. Both loved the Lord, but their priorities differed. The Bible does not record them attacking one another, and later Paul reaffirmed his trust in Mark. Maturity does not mean the absence of conflict, but rather a willingness to respect one another even after conflict.

2. Moving Forward Even When Parted (v40–41)
Although they parted ways, they did not stop serving. One missionary team became two, and God continued to use them. The church in Antioch did not take sides, but entrusted them both to the Lord. Truly mature people do not cease following God because of a single conflict.

 Conclusion: Relationship Before Ministry, Pursue Unity and Move Towards Maturity
