更像基督
以弗所書五章15至21節
15你們要謹慎行事，不要像愚昧人，當像智慧人。
16要愛惜光陰，因為現今的世代邪惡。
17不要作糊塗人，要明白主的旨意如何。
18不要醉酒，酒能使人放蕩，乃要被聖靈充滿。
19當用詩章、頌詞、靈歌彼此對說，口唱心和地讚美主。
20凡事要奉我們主耶穌基督的名，常常感謝父神。
21又當存敬畏基督的心，彼此順服。
信息分享
那是甚麼意思呢？我們每個人都有過被情緒控制的經驗，例如充滿恐懼或充滿愛。我們也見過有人被忿恨、嫉妒或怒氣所控制。當人充滿某種情緒的時候，他整個人的表現就會被那種情緒所控制。
被聖靈充滿就是被聖靈掌管；別人從我們的行動，特別是我們的反應，便看出我們是被聖靈的能力控制。別人將會看見我們的轉變，因為我們的生命會愈來愈多顯彰基督。
你只要繼續讀本章和下章的經文，就會清楚看見，一個被聖靈充滿的人會有哪些表現能顯彰基督。我們與其他信徒的關係；我們對神的稱頌和感謝；我們與家人的關係都包含在內。
我們怎能確保聖靈每天都掌管我們呢？若我們希望得到，我們就必須祈求。我們可以在每天早上向主祈求說：「主耶穌，我今天將自己交在你的手中，讓聖靈在我裡面成就祂的工作。願聖靈充滿我、掌管我，以致別人能在我的言行中看見主耶穌。」嘗試一下，今天就開始，並以後每天持之以恆。
BECOMING MORE LIKE CHRIST
Ephesians 5: 15-21
15 See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise,
16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
17 Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
18 And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit,
19 speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord,
20 giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, 21 submitting to one another in the fear of God.
Message
What does this mean? We all know what it is to be controlled by various emotions, such as fear or love. We may have seen others controlled or filled with hatred, jealousy, or anger. The whole personality and actions can be controlled by one or other of these types of emotions.
To be filled with the Holy Spirit is to be so controlled by Him that our actions and particularly our reactions will show it. The result will be evident to all we meet because Christ will be seen more and more in our lives.
If you are to read on in the remaining verses of this chapter and into the next chapter, you will easily see the areas in which the filling of the Holy Spirit will be, making it clear that Christ is in your life.
Our relationships with fellow Christians, our praise and thankfulness to God and our life within our own family are all covered here.
How can we make sure the Holy Spirit will be in control of our lives each day? If we want this, we must ask for it. Here is a simple prayer which could be used first thing every morning, “Lord Jesus, I give myself to you for this day so that your Holy Spirit can have His way in me today. May He fill and control me so that you, Lord Jesus, will be seen in all I do and say.” Try it. Start today and keep on saying it every morning.
