阅读经文 

《以弗所书》二章1至9节，特别是8至9节，是《圣经》中最为人熟知的经文之一，但第10节却往往被人忽略了。这节经文教导我们，我们得救是本乎恩和因着信，这不仅仅是为了确保我们可以永远与神同在，也是为了让我们能够按着神在我们身上的计划去行善。

不过，事实证明，我们有时也会对行善感到厌烦。

我们之所以这样，是有几个原因的。有时我们觉得我们所做的善行起不了什么作用。有时我们又太忙于处理自己的事，以致忽略了关心别人的责任。（参腓 2:4）

然而，好消息是，我们若敞开心灵不断接受圣灵的敦促，祂便会继续在我们心中结出良善的果子的。圣灵会引导我们找到新的侍奉岗位，并为我们开启祝福别人的机会。

对我来说，校牧这个侍奉岗位所带来的喜乐，一方面是看见忙碌地预备终身在神的国中全然侍奉的神学生们，仍然拨出时间来向他人行善。

Ephesians 2:1-9, especially verses 8-9, are among the best-known verses in the Bible, but verse 10 is often neglected. This verse teaches that we are saved by grace through faith not simply to spend eternity with God but so that we may do good works that God has planned for us to do.

And yet the reality is that, at times, we tire of doing good.

There are several reasons for this. Sometimes we feel that our good works aren't making a difference. At other times we become too busy looking after our own interests, and we ­neglect to look to the interests of others (Philippians 2:4).

But the good news is that if we remain open to the promptings of the Holy Spirit, he will continue to produce good fruit in our lives. The Spirit will lead us to new areas of service and will open new opportunities for us to bless others.

To me, one of the joys of serving as a chaplain is to watch busy students as they take time to do good to others even as they prepare for a lifetime of serving in God's kingdom.
