保祿的話語幫助我們認識到聖神已經在我們內動工,因為我們不可能對耶穌沒有絲毫的信心和愛。
我們正在閱讀這些文字,這本身就說明我們對祂有所關注。
這本身就是聖神的作為。
不僅如此,聖神不僅使我們與耶穌合而為一,祂也賜給我們恩典,使我們能夠透過自身的一些特殊恩賜(即使沒有特殊恩賜本身已經是一種特殊的恩賜)與他人合作,造福他人。
根據保祿的說法,我們所領受的恩賜使我們更親近聖神。
透過這些恩賜所賜予的喜樂、能力和熱情,我們成為他人認識和享受上主的工具,這需要我們的參與和貢獻。
我們需要睜開雙眼,發現聖神在我們內動工的程度。
並為此感謝祂,讚美祂。
Paul’s words help us to acknowledge that the Holy Spirit is already working in us, because we cannot not find in us some faith and love for Jesus. The very fact that we are reading these words means that we are somehow interested. This is already action of the Holy Spirit.
Not only this: the Holy Spirit not only makes us one with Jesus; He also gives us the grace to cooperate to the good of others through some special gifts we have (even not to have special gifts is a special gift). According to Paul, the gifts we receive bring us closer to the Holy Spirit. Through the joy, competence and enthusiasm they give us, we become instrumental for others to know and enjoy God through our presence and contribution.
We need to open our eyes and discover how much the Holy Spirit is already at work in us. And thank and praise Him.
