为教会祷告：愿“拥有敞开而有意义的会众关系”能够成为教会生活中的常态，愿“躲在教会里做一个无名氏”在这间教会变得不可能。（三之三）
约翰福音 13:34-35
“我赐给你们一条新命令，乃是叫你们彼此相爱。我怎样爱你们，你们也要怎样相爱。你们若有彼此相爱的心，众人因此就认出你们是我的门徒了。”
思考题：主耶稣这个彼此相爱的命令如何敦促每个教会成员积极站出来服事教会事工？
参考答案：
爱的动机：主耶稣教导我们彼此相爱，这种爱是无私的、奉献的。出于对他人的爱，教会成员会被激励去服事，满足教会和他人的需要。
示范效应：当教会中的一些成员积极参与服事，他们的行为会成为榜样，鼓舞和带动其他人也加入服事的行列。这种示范效应会在教会中形成一种积极的文化氛围。
建立关系：通过彼此相爱，教会成员之间的关系会更加紧密。这种关系的建立会使大家更加愿意共同参与和投入到教会的事工中，因为他们知道自己是在为他们所爱的人和大家庭服务。
责任感和归属感：爱能够增强教会成员的责任感和归属感。当人们感受到被爱和关心时，他们更愿意回报这种爱，积极参与教会的各种事工，为教会的发展和大家的益处贡献自己的力量。
成就感和满足感：参与服事不仅是给予，也是获得。在服事中，教会成员可以体验到帮助他人的成就感和满足感，看到自己的努力对他人和教会带来的积极影响，从而进一步激励他们持续参与服事。
主耶稣的榜样：主耶稣以自己的生命和行动示范了无私的爱和服事。教会成员遵循耶稣的教导，会自然而然地效仿他的榜样，愿意为他人和教会付出和奉献。
主耶稣的教导呼召我们每一个教会成员彼此相爱，也就是敦促我们积极参与教会（主耶稣基督的身体）的事工，使我们每个成员都能在服事中找到自己的位置，体验到爱的实际行动和果实。
Pray for the church: May ‘having open and meaningful relationships’ become the norm in the life of the church and may ‘hiding in the church as a nobody’ become impossible in this church. （3 of 3)
John 13:34-35
‘A new commandment I give to you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.’
Question: How does this command of the Lord Jesus to love one another urge every church member to actively step forward to serve in the ministry of the church?
Reference Answer:
Motivated by Love: The Lord Jesus teaches us to love one another, and this love is selfless and giving. Out of love for others, church members are motivated to serve and meet the needs of the church and others.
Exemplary Effect: When some members of the church are actively involved in ministry, their behaviour becomes an example that inspires and motivates others to join in the ministry. This modelling effect creates a positive culture in the church.
Building Relationships: Through loving one another, church members will grow closer to one another. This relationship building leads to a greater willingness to participate and commit to the ministry of the church together, knowing that they are serving their loved ones and extended family.
Sense of Responsibility and Belonging: Love enhances the sense of responsibility and belonging among church members. When people feel loved and cared for, they are more willing to return that love by actively participating in the various ministries of the church and contributing to the development of the church and the benefit of all.
Sense of accomplishment and satisfaction: Participating in ministry is not only giving, but also receiving. In serving, church members can experience a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction in helping others and see the positive impact of their efforts on others and the church, thus further motivating them to continue to participate in ministry.
The example of the Lord Jesus: The Lord Jesus exemplified selfless love and service through His life and actions. Church members who follow the Lord Jesus' teachings will naturally follow His example and be willing to give and give to others and to the church.
The Lord Jesus' teaching calls each of us church members to love one another, which means that we are urged to actively participate in the ministry of the church (the body of the Lord Jesus Christ), so that each of us can find our place in the ministry and experience the practical actions and fruits of love.
