我的大學朋友比爾曾在太平洋某個島嶼宣教多年。他告訴我一個故事，有一個年輕人離鄉背井到外地尋求發展，因緣際會跟朋友去了教會，在那裡他聽到耶穌帶來的福音，並接受基督成為他生命的救主。

過後，這年輕人想把福音帶給自己那些「迷信巫術」的鄉親們，於是他打算請一位宣教士去向他們傳福音。但宣教士卻告訴年輕人，只需把上帝為他所做的事都告訴他們（參閱馬可福音5章19節）。於是，年輕人照樣做了，不少鄉親們因此信了耶穌，但最大的突破是，連鎮上的巫醫都接受基督就是「道路、真理、生命」（約翰福音14章6節）。這個巫醫信主後，向全鎮的人宣講耶穌的事蹟。在四年的時間裡，因為這名年輕人的見證促使該地區建立了七間教會。

在哥林多後書，保羅制定明確的計劃，要將福音傳給還未認識基督的人，這與那位宣教士對年輕人所說的話一致。我們就是「基督的使者」，即祂的代表，就好像「上帝藉著我們勸告世人」（5章20節，新譯本）。每個基督徒都有一個獨特的生命故事，講述耶穌如何使我們變成「新造的人」，並與上帝和好（17-18節）。讓我們與人分享上帝為你我所做的一切！

My college friend Bill Tobias has served as a missionary on a Pacific island for many years. He tells the story about a young man who left his hometown to seek his fortune. But a friend took him to church where he heard the good news Jesus offers, and he trusted Christ as his Savior.

The young man wanted to take the gospel to his people who were “steeped in sorcery,” so he looked for a missionary to reach them. But the missionary told him to simply “go tell them what God did for you” (see Mark 5:19). And that’s what he did. Several people in his hometown received Jesus, but the biggest breakthrough came when the town’s witch doctor realized that Christ was “the way and the truth and the life” (John 14:6). After he put his faith in Jesus, he told the whole town about Him. Within four years, the witness of one young man had led to the establishment of seven churches in the region.

In 2 Corinthians, Paul sets forth a clear plan for introducing the gospel to those who don’t yet know Christ—and it aligns with what that missionary told the young believer in Jesus. We are to be “Christ’s ambassadors”—His representatives “as though God were making his appeal through us” (5:20). Every believer has a unique story to tell of how Jesus made them “a new creation . . . who reconciled” them to God (vv. 17-18 nasb). Let’s tell others what He’s done for us.
