FURTHER ENCOURAGEMENT

1. The Lord Jesus sought to encourage those who came to Him,

a. They were anxious about many mundane matters:
i. Money matters.
ii. Basic provisions for life (food and clothing).
b. But worrying resolved nothing at all.
i. The challenge was to learn how to trust God.
ii. God values us even more than we realise.

DEALING WITH THE PROBLEM OF ANXIETY

“And which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? If you then are not able to do the least, why are you anxious for the rest? Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. If then God so clothes the grass, which today is in the field and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will He clothe you, O you of little faith?”

Luke 12:25-28

1. Worrying is a useless activity.

a. If we are bothered by our physical stature.
b. Worrying is not going to make us any taller.

2. Powerless

a. If we are unable to do the least.
b. Why be anxious about all the other things we have no control over?

3. The lilies of the field.

a. They grow beautifully.
b. But they do not toil and spin.
c. The glory of Solomon (e.g. “his wealth”).
i. He would array himself with beautiful clothes.
ii. But he could not compare with the natural glory of the flowers in the field.

4. God cares for:

a. The birds of the air.
b. The lilies of the field.
c. Even the grass.
i. It grows for a while.
ii. It is soon cut down.

5. God cares for us even more deeply.

a. God cares.
b. He will take care of us (“clothe us”).

6. Our problem is highlighted:

a. We have but “a little faith”.
b. Because our faith is small, we tend to be anxious about many things.
c. Let us seek to cultivate our faith very much more.

经文：路加福音 12：25-28

进一步的鼓励

1. 主耶稣试着鼓励前来找祂的人们

a. 他们为许多尘俗的事而忧虑

i. 钱财的事

ii. 生命基本的供应（饮食与衣裳）

b. 但忧虑解决不了任何事

i. 我们的挑战是学会如何信靠上帝

ii. 上帝对我们的重视胜过我们所察觉的

对抗忧虑的问题

25 你们哪一个能用思虑使寿数多加一刻呢？
26 这最小的事你们尚且不能做，为什么还忧虑其余的事呢？
27 你想百合花怎么长起来，它也不劳苦，也不纺线，然而我告诉你们：就是所罗门极荣华的时候，他所穿戴的还不如这花一朵呢！
28 你们这小信的人哪！野地里的草今天还在，明天就丢在炉里，神还给它这样的装饰，何况你们呢！

《路加福音 12：25-28》

1. 忧虑是不中用的

a. 若我们因为外表高度感到烦扰

b. 忧虑并不会让我们长得更高

2. 无能为力

a. 若最小的事我们都不能做

b. 为什么还忧虑其余我们无法控制的事呢？

3. 野地的百合花

a. 它们长得非常美丽

b. 但它们不劳苦，也不纺线

c. 所罗门的荣华（例如他的财富）

i. 他会穿上美丽的衣服

ii. 但他还不如野地的花的自然荣耀

4. 上帝在乎：

a. 天上的鸟儿

b. 野地里的百合花

c. 甚至草

i. 它生长一阵子

ii. 但不久就被割下

5. 上帝更在乎我们

a. 祂在乎

b. 祂会照顾我们（给我们的“装饰”）

6. 我们的问题被强调：

a. 我们拥有的只不过是“小信”

b. 因为我们的信小，我们容易为许多事感到忧虑

c. 让我们试着更加的培养我们的信
