马太福音6：1-18

救主教导门徒要行义施善

Jesus Christ preaching to a multitude of people. Christ is seated on a rocky hillside. He is dressed in red and blue robes. He has one arm raised. Some of the figures have their hands clasped in devotion.

耶稣继续祂的山上宝训，教导我们应该做好事来取悦我们的天父，而不是为了获得他人的注意。在本课中，你会有机会评估你做好事的动机，并决定要如何改善。

想想以下句子：古斯塔沃修好了他邻居的篱笆。

  • 你觉得古斯塔沃怎样？

将「古斯塔沃修好了他邻居的篱笆」这句话的句点擦掉，在后面接着写上因为……。请学生用古斯塔沃修理篱笆可能会有的各种理由，来完成这个句子。答案可能有「他人很好」、「他参加了他妈妈要他加入的服务计划」、「他想要让邻居的女儿对他有好感」、「他不想让邻居的狗跑进他家的院子」以及「他一怒之下将篱笆打坏，他爸爸要他修好它」。

  • 动机为什么很重要？

在 马太福音第6章 中，我们读到救主继续祂的山上宝训，并教导做好事的动机。进行以下活动，帮助你思考你做这类的好事的理由，例如施助、为人服务、祈祷以及参加福音进修班。

在你的研读日记中画一个有三个栏位的图表。在图表上方写出以下问题：

What are three good works you have done in the past week? (List one per row.)

What were your reasons for doing them?

How did you feel after you did these good works?

阅读 马太福音6：1-6，16-18 ，找出救主对于我们正义行为的动机，作了哪些教导。善事这个词指的是「宗教的奉献行为」，例如救济穷人。假冒为善的人指的是伪君子。

  • 你会如何总结救主的教导？

重要的是要明白，公开祷告并非只因为不是「在暗中」作的，就是错的（ 马太福音6：6 ）。祈祷和其他宗教行为，只要是出于诚心、虔敬，和为了荣耀神，是可以公开进行的；禁食也是如此。 马太福音6：16 里「脸上带着愁容」与「他们把脸弄得难看」这两个形容指的是，在耶稣的时代，有些人刻意表现出自己在禁食，好引起他人的注意。

  • 你认为主为什么如此在意我们的动机，即使我们做的是正义的事？

再看看你的图表，将你做好事的理由跟 马太福音第6章 里救主的教导相比较。

  • 你认为你为什么应该「努力的为那最崇高和最好的理由而服务」？（达林 邬克司，「我们为何服务？」，1985年1月，圣徒之声，第10页）。

  • 如果有人正苦于难以为正确的理由行事，你会建议他们怎么做？

Official portrait of Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, 2006. Called as Second Counselor in the First Presidency, 3 February 2008. Made official portrait in 2008 replacing portrait taken in 2004.

The greatest, most capable, most accomplished man who ever walked this earth was also the most humble. He performed some of His most impressive service in private moments, with only a few observers, whom He asked to “tell no man” what He had done [see Luke 8:56 ]. When someone called Him “good,” He quickly deflected the compliment, insisting that only God is truly good [see Mark 10:17–18 ]. Clearly the praise of the world meant nothing to Him; His single purpose was to serve His Father and “do always those things that please him” [ John 8:29 ]. We would do well to follow the example of our Master.

(Dieter F. Uchtdorf, “On Being Genuine,” Ensign or Liahona, May 2015, 83)

想一些例子来说明，救主做祂事工的动机。

  • 这些例子中哪个部分，让你印象深刻？

  • 关于救主的爱，还有祂为什么要为我们赎罪，这些例子如何增加你的了解？

回答以下问题：

  • 关于你做好事的动机，你有什么感觉？

  • 你做好事的动机，会在哪些方面影响你跟天父的关系？

  • 你可以做哪件事，来跟随救主做好事的榜样？

Official Portrait of President Dallin H. Oaks taken March 2018.

The prophet Moroni taught that if our works are to be credited for good, they must be done for the right reasons. If a man “offereth a gift, or prayeth unto God, except he shall do it with real intent it profiteth him nothing.

“For behold, it is not counted unto him for righteousness.” ( Moro. 7:6–7 .) …

… Our service should be for the love of God and the love of fellowmen rather than for personal advantage or any other lesser motive.

(Dallin H. Oaks, “Why Do We Serve?” Ensign, Nov. 1984, 12, 14)

Official portrait of Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, 2006. Called as Second Counselor in the First Presidency, 3 February 2008. Made official portrait in 2008 replacing portrait taken in 2004.

Our motives and thoughts ultimately influence our actions. The testimony of the truthfulness of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ is the most powerful motivating force in our lives. Jesus repeatedly emphasized the power of good thoughts and proper motives: “Look unto me in every thought; doubt not, fear not” ( D&C 6:36).

… Our testimony motivates us to live righteously, and righteous living will cause our testimony to grow stronger. …

… A testimony motivates us to choose the right at all times and in all circumstances. It motivates us to draw nearer to God, allowing Him to draw nearer to us (see James 4:8).

(Dieter F. Uchtdorf, “The Power of a Personal Testimony,” Ensign or Liahona, Nov. 2006, 37, 39)
