作好準備
有人問你們心中盼望的緣由，就要常作準備，…… 回答各人。—彼得前書3章15節
晴芳是個中學生，某天她跟一群基督徒同學，前往戒癮機構傳福音。她跟一名身材高大的20多歲男子展開交談。當他們談到信仰，晴芳的立場堅定，毫不退縮。
晴芳清楚講述耶穌的福音，而對方的回應卻是截然不同的宗教觀，但他們依然友善地互相交流。最後，對方看著晴芳說：「妳讓我心服口服，我無法反駁妳所說的。」
晴芳當然希望對方能立即歸信耶穌，但即使他拒絕了，福音的種子仍已種在他的心田裡。雖然這樣的結果難免讓晴芳感到失落，但她因一個事實得到安慰，就是那天她做了上帝呼召她去做的事：「要隨時準備答覆」（彼得前書3章15節，和合本修訂版），她已經用愛心向人分享了上帝的救贖計劃。
晴芳不以福音為恥（羅馬書1章16節），她已經作好準備，「去回答那些問你們為什麼懷有盼望的人」（彼得前書3章15節，新譯本）。她曉得自己的「言語要常常帶著和氣」，也「知道該怎樣回答各人」（歌羅西書4章6節），使她能以合宜的態度回應那名年輕人。
上帝賦予我們莫大的殊榮，使我們能向人傳揚基督！讓我們隨時作好準備與人分享福音，因祂必提供我們所需的一切。
白德夫
彼得前書3章13-17節的主題是：在基督裡充滿盼望的生命，能激發人們談論福音。請留意使徒彼得說：「有人問你們心中盼望的緣由，就要常作準備，以溫柔、敬畏的心回答各人」（15節）。在這令人心碎和絕望的世界裡，當人們看到我們抱持超越世俗的盼望而活，便能吸引他們，並讓他們渴望擁有這樣的盼望。當他們詢問怎麼會有這樣的盼望，我們便能和他們分享耶穌的信息，那就是上帝「藉著耶穌基督從死人中復活，重生了我們，使我們有永活的盼望，可以得著不能朽壞、不能玷污、不能衰殘、……的基業」（1章3-4節，新譯本）。當我們預備好與人分享上帝的愛，便能向人講述那使我們有永活盼望的耶穌。
Be Prepared to Share
Be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.
The teenager stood her ground. While her high school group was visiting a home for people in rehab from addictions, Claire engaged in conversation with a twentysomething man who towered over her in size. They talked about faith.
Claire clearly presented the gospel of Jesus. He countered with his spiritual views, which were very different. Back and forth they went in a friendly give-and-take way. Finally, the young man looked at Claire and said, “You got me. I can’t argue with what you’re saying.”
Though he didn’t put his faith in Jesus, a seed had been planted. And while Claire would have loved for the young man to have received Christ, her disappointment was balanced by the reality that she’d done what God had called her to do that day: “Be prepared to give an answer” (1 Peter 3:15). She had lovingly shared God’s plan of salvation.
Claire wasn’t ashamed of the gospel (Romans 1:16). She was prepared to “give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have” (1 Peter 3:15). And she knew how to let her “conversation be . . . full of grace” so she would “know how to answer” (Colossians 4:6) the young man in the right spirit.
What a privilege God gives us to make Christ known to others! Let’s be ready to share with others as He provides what we need.
Reflect & Pray
How can you prepare for an opportunity to share your faith? Who do you know who needs to hear the gospel?
Dear God, please encourage my heart and open my mouth so I can “give an answer” to others who need You.
Learn how to effectively share your witness.
