序论：我们信徒在跟从服侍主的当儿常常犯上两种错误。第一就是不尽责，第二就是没有得着一个已经毕业的责任感。“尽责”，是每个人都晓得，且具有的本分。《传12:13》：敬畏神谨守诫命为人当尽之分。《弗6:20》：我为这福音的奥秘做了戴锁链的使者——并使我照着当尽的本分放胆讲论。确实，我们都有当尽的责任。父母有父母当尽的责任，员工有员工当尽的责任。同样的，我们服侍主的人也有当尽的责任。没有一个不尽责的人能得着周围人的喜悦。因为他的失责，很多人会受亏损。例如：一个主日学老师不尽责时，主日学生在那一两个小时的上课是浪费了他们的光阴。可能他们一生能有机会听到某一方面的真理，就因为老师的失责而失去了。或者我们因为忙，没有尽做父母的责任，忙于工作，或是体贴自己的难处或方便，没有尽我们的责任全面的教导孩子，然后给自己借口说：“孩子长大会自然好的”，那孩子长大了，形成了一些不能改的体质，那是跟我们的失责有关系的。今天，很多服侍主的人如果在外头工作，很有责任感。但一旦做教会的工作，根本没有将“责任”这两个字放在心中为考量。他们认为按着恩典，靠着圣灵做事工是很自然而然，不需给自己压力的，因此就忽略了当尽的本分。其实，他们不知道很多人因他们这样的服侍受亏损，或者不得着益处。不管是任何理由，是懒惰、自卑、无力、忙碌等都好，责任感是跟这些没有关系的。责任感是从我们受了托付，被神与人信任，因此晓得自己必须完成的项目。但是，责任感的终极来源是来自我们已经明白了某些知识或道理。这好比，当做父母的已经明白了做父母的重任，他不能在忽视他们教导孩子的责任。同样的，当一个人已经投过真理明白了神的心意与圣工的价值，他的失责就是他的过犯了。倘若他继续留在这样的过犯中，必定自食其果。因此，被神所创造来管理与治理万有的人绝对有当尽的本分。但是，当我们继续谈到责任感时，谁的责任比较多呢？圣经说：因为多给谁，就向谁多取；多托谁，就向谁多要《路12:48》。这句话告诉我们正当每个人都有当尽的责任，圣经也将一种“已经毕业”的责任感告诉我们。当一个人从神领受更多的恩典时，他不能停留在“我只做好我分内的工作就够了”。因为神确实按着祂的主权将更多能以祝福众人的恩典赐给某些人，且嘱咐蒙受恩典的人要多给，这也是神要求的。倘若一个人能教导，他需要更多的教导。倘若一个人能牧养，他要更多的牧养。倘若一个人已经累积了很多服侍的经验与恩赐，像是弹琴、敬拜、教导孩子、做录制与音响、招待等，神要他站出来为圣民更多的服务。这不但是人要求他的，更是神所要求的。因为神说要向他多要。因此，从某个角度来讲，“能者多劳”的大原则是没有错的。在一间公司里，若有才能的员工不多付出，只有满足与自己已经做了分内的工作，这公司就没有前进的可能了。同样的，主的工作若没有那有才能的肢体更多的付出来设想、计划、构思、进行、检讨、寻求突破等，有些重要的圣工就停顿在一处了。今天，主告诉我们圣徒首先当要尽责，但在服侍多年之后也要得着一个“已经毕业”的责任感。

Prelude: We believers often make two mistakes in the course of following and serving the Lord. The first is not being responsible, and the second is not having a graduated sense of responsibility. “Being responsible” is a duty that everyone knows and has. <Ecc 12:13>: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the duty of all mankind. <Eph 6:20>: For which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should. Indeed, we all have our due responsibilities. Parents have their responsibilities as parents, and employees have their responsibilities as employees. Similarly, those of us who serve the Lord also have our due responsibilities. An irresponsible person cannot please the people around him. Because of his failure to carry out his responsibility, many people will suffer losses. For example: When a Sunday school teacher is not fulfilling his duties, Sunday school students would have wasted their time in those one or two hours. Maybe they could have the opportunity to hear a certain aspect of the truth in their lifetime, but they lose it because of the teacher’s negligence. Or perhaps we are busy, and hence do not fulfill our responsibilities as parents, we are occupied with work, or only consider our own difficulties or conveniences, we do not fulfill our responsibilities to teach our children comprehensively, and thereafter give ourselves an excuse, “The children will naturally grow up to be good.” Then when the children grow up, they form some nature that cannot be changed, and that has something to do with our negligence. Today, for many people who serve the Lord, if they work outside, they will have a sense of responsibility. But once they become a full-timer in the church, the word “responsibility” is not taken into their heart for consideration at all. They think that it is natural to work by relying on the Holy Spirit according to grace, and they do not need to put pressure on themselves, and as a result, they neglect their duty. In fact, they do not know that many people suffer losses or did not benefit due to such serving by them. No matter what the reason is - be it laziness, low self-esteem, powerlessness, busyness, etc., having a sense of responsibility has nothing to do with these. Responsibility comes from the fact that we have been entrusted, trusted by God and man, and therefore know the tasks we must complete. However, the ultimate source of responsibility comes from our understanding of certain knowledge or principle. This is like a parent who has understood the important responsibilities of being a parent, and he cannot neglect his responsibility to teach his children. In the same way, when a person has understood the value of God’s will and doing God's work through the truth, his breach of responsibility is also his transgression. If we continue to remain in such a transgression, there will be consequences. Therefore, those who are created by God to manage and rule over everything absolutely have a duty to perform. But when we continue to talk about a sense of responsibility, who has more responsibilities? The Bible says, “From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.” <Lk 12:48>. This verse tells us that everyone has a due responsibility, and the Bible also tells us a sense of “graduated” responsibility. When a person receives more grace from God, he cannot remain at “it is enough that I have completed my own area of work.” Because God in His sovereignty does give some people more grace to bless people, and hence He exhorts those who receive grace to give more, which is also what God expects. If a person can teach, he needs to teach more. If a person can shepherd, he needs to shepherd more. If a person has accumulated a lot of experiences and gifts in serving, such as playing the piano, worship, teaching children, recording and sound system, ushering, etc., God wants him to step forward and serve the saints even more. This is not only what people expect from him, but also what God expects. Because God said more will be asked. Therefore, from a certain perspective, the principle of “those who are capable can do more” is not wrong. In a company, if talented employees don’t contribute much, and are only content with the work they have already done, there is no possibility for the company to move forward. In the same way, if the Lord’s work does not have talented brethren to devote more effort to envisage, plan, conceptualize, execute, review, and seek breakthroughs, etc., some important work of the Lord will remain stagnant. Today, the Lord tells us that saints must first be responsible, but after many years of service, they must also have a sense of “graduated” responsibility.
