弟兄姊妹平安:
主日崇拜的英文一般稱為Sunday Service 。
當以色列民被神呼召走三日的路程去敬拜神，也是去事奉神。出席主日崇拜就是敬拜主, 服事主, 為神作見證。有在台上服事，有在台下服事，我們分工合作、盡心竭力地在敬拜神、服事主。
舊約的利未支派是從十二支派分別出來作會幕和聖殿的事奉工作，利未支派的亞倫子孫更是被安派作祭司的專職服事，負責敬拜的祭祀，也處理民眾的生活事宜。
在新約, 彼得稱我們是活石。我們被建造在耶穌基督的磐石上，成為神的靈宮，作聖漯的祭司，是神百般恩賜的好管家，以口以手、彼此同心服事去榮耀神。
宗教改革提出的一個「凡是」，就是糾正教會歷史的錯誤，當時只有「神職人員」可以在教會事奉，其他的信徒是「平信徒」。馬丁路德把教會的偏差帶回正軌:「凡是信徒, 皆為祭司。」
每一個信耶穌的人，都是敬拜神的人，是從世界分別為聖的人，是心無旁騖地服事神的人。每一個基督徒都在全時間的服事主，一個敬拜服事神的人，就不只是在教會的圍牆中，也不只是在星期日內。
我們的敬拜和服事既在每天的生活中，也同時面臨著不同的考驗。一個人不能事奉兩個主，人若愛瑪門，愛父的心就不在他裡面了。當魔鬼以萬國的榮華去試探耶穌時，耶穌說：「當拜主你的神，單要事奉祂！」
這個昔日的試探，於今為烈！
當拜主你的神，單要事奉祂！

Dear brothers and sisters,
Sunday Worship is normally called Sunday Service.
When the Israelites were called to take a three-day journey to worship God, to serve God. Attending Sunday Service is to worship and serve the Lord, and to witness for God. Some served on the stage and some served off the stage. We worship and serve the Lord with all our heart together in different roles.
In the Old Testament, Levi was separated from the twelve tribes to serve in the tabernacle and the temple, and the descendants of Aaron were appointed and ordained to be full-time priests for the ministry on the altar and people’s daily life.
In the New Testament, Peter calls us living stones. On Jesus Christ we are built into God’s spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, to be faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms, serving together with one heart to glorify God.
One “All” of the Reformation is to correct the mistakes in the church history. At that time, only “priests” could serve in the church, and other believers were “laymen.” Martin Luther put the church’s deviation back on track: “All believers are priests.”
Everyone who believes in Jesus is a worshiper of God, a person separated from the world, serving the Lord whole-heartedly. Every Christian is serving the Lord full time, worshipping and serving God not only within the walls of the church, nor only on Sundays.
We worship and serve in our daily life, facing different tests. No one can serve two masters. If a man loves mammon, the love of the Father is not in him. When the devil tempted Jesus with the splendor of all the kingdoms of the world, Jesus said, “Worship the Lord your God, and serve Him only!”
The then temptation is even more severe today!
Worship the Lord your God, and serve Him only!
In Christ,
Sam Wong
