什么叫奉耶稣的名而做？
What Does It Mean To Do In the Name Of Lord Jesus?
当一个臣仆奉王帝的名做事的时候，他已经不是因那事的结果来要取得任何自己的功劳或益处了。他唯有要从王帝取得赏赐，所以便会中心到底。同样的，如果我们是奉主耶稣的名而做的时候，我们首先是带着一个基本的忠心（向主的忠心)，另外是带着主的托付（领受主给的使命）。有时，我们在做父母或员工时，我们会一时之间失去这种忠心与使命感。可能我们会将教导孩子的成果看得太重，或是将人给予我们的待遇看得太重要。虽然我们对人有一种基本的情感与效忠，但我们一定要记得我们终极的效忠对象就是主，而我们是奉祂的名做事的仆人。
When an officer works in the name of the emperor, he is no longer receiving any credit or benefits according to the outcomes of the tasks. He only wants to receive rewards from the emperor, and he will be loyal to the end. Similarly, if we do in the name of Lord Jesus, we need to have the basic loyalty (to the Lord), and carry out the task entrusted by the Lord (the mission given by the Lord). Sometimes, as parents or workers, we may lose this kind of loyalty and sense of mission in a split second. Perhaps, we may value the outcomes of teaching our children too much, or we may value the benefits people can give us too much. Although we have a basic emotion and allegiance towards people, we need to remember the Lord is the ultimate object of our allegiance, and we are servants who work in His name.
