引言
Prelude
教会不是出于人的发明,而是耶稣基督所吩咐设立的。当彼得认信耶稣是基督,是永生神的儿子以后,我们的主说祂要在这磐石般的认信上建造属祂的教会。祂赐给教会天国钥匙的权柄,使教会在地上作天国的代表,在世人面前彰显那本不可见的天国的荣耀。教会,这是一个何等荣耀的存在,也是一个何等令人振奋的存在!
The Church is not an invention by man, but the commandment by Jesus Christ. When Peter confessed that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of living God, our Lord said He will build His church on this rock-like solid confession. He authorizes His church the keys of the kingdom of God, to represent the heavenly kingdom on the earth, to reveal the glory of the invisible kingdom to the world. Church, what a glorious existence, what an exciting existence.
为此,我们渴望在普世华人中,推动合乎圣经的教会建造运动:遵照圣经的教导,忠心地顺服基督的命令,传扬福音使人成为耶稣的门徒,在地上建造荣耀天国的教会,使我们君王耶稣的名被见证,广传并得荣耀。
Therefore, we desire to promote the "building biblical churches" movement among global Chinese: following the biblical teaching, faithfully obeying the commandments of Christ, proclaiming the gospel to make people the disciples of Jesus, building churches on the earth that glorify the kingdom of the heaven, making our King Jesus's name be testified, known, and glorified.
