Why The Invitation
Because:
1. Student suicide rate probably highest in world
2. Psychology relatively new field in China
3. Cultural revolution from 1966–1976 closed universities,
caused immense psychological and spiritual damage
4. Looking for new values and ethics

以他人為中心的三一愛
Other Centered
Trinitarian Love
"I will not speak much
more with you, for the ruler
of the world is coming, and
he has nothing in Me;
31 but that the world may
know that I love the
Father, and as the Father
gave Me commandment,
even so I do. Arise, let us
go from here.
(John 14:30-31 NAS)
30
我不会再跟你们讲很多
的事，因为这世界的统
治者将到；他在我身上
毫无作用，
但这些事是要使世人知
道我爱父，并且知道父
怎样吩咐了我，我就怎
样作。起来，我们走吧！
" (CNVS)(John 14:3031)
Other Centered Love
以他人為中心的愛
John 13:1 Now before
the Feast of the
Passover, Jesus
knowing that His hour
had come that He
should depart out of this
world to the Father,
having loved His own
who were in the world,
He loved them to the
end. (John 13:1 NAS)
逾越节以前，耶稣知
道自己离开这世界回
到父那里去的时候到
了。他既然爱世上属
于自己的人，就爱他
们到底。 (John
13:1 CNVS)
慈悲為懷的神
The Humble God
At that time Jesus answered and said, "I praise 25 就在那时候，耶稣说："父啊，
Thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that
天地的主，我赞美你，因为你把
Thou didst hide these things from the wise and
这些事向智慧和聪明的人隐藏起
intelligent and didst reveal them to babes.
来，却向婴孩显明。
26 "Yes, Father, for thus it was well-pleasing in
26 父啊，是的，这就是你的美意。
Thy sight.
27 我父已经把一切交给我；除了
27 "All things have been handed over to Me by
My Father; and no one knows the Son, except the 父没有人认识子，除了子和子所
Father; nor does anyone know the Father, except 愿意启示的人，没有人认识父。
28 你们所有劳苦担重担的人哪，
the Son, and anyone to whom the Son wills to
reveal Him.
到我这里来吧！我必使你们得安
28 "Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy息。
laden, and I will give you rest.
29 我心里柔和谦卑，你们应当负
29 "Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me,
我的轭，向我学习，你们就必得
for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you
着心灵的安息；
shall find rest for your souls.
30 我的轭是容易负的，我的担子
30 "For My yoke is easy, and My load is light."
(Mat 11:25-30 NAS)
是轻省的。" Mat 11:25-30
25
以他人為中心的神
The Other Centered God
Do nothing from selfishness or empty
conceit, but with humility of mind let each of
you regard one another as more important
3
than himself;
4 do not merely look out for your own
personal interests, but also for the
interests of others.
Have this attitude in yourselves which was
also in Christ Jesus,
6 who, although He existed in the form of
God, did not regard equality with God a thing
to be grasped,
7 but emptied Himself, taking the form of a
bond-servant, and being made in the likeness
of men.
8 And being found in appearance as a man,
He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to
the point of death, even death on a cross. (Phi
2:3-8 NAS)以他人為中
5
不要自私自利，也不要贪图虚
荣，只要谦卑，看别人比自己强；
4 各人不要单顾自己的事，也要
顾别人的事。
5 你们应当有这样的意念，这也
是基督耶稣的意念。
6 他本来有 神的形象，却不坚
持自己与 神平等的地位，
7 反而倒空自己，取了奴仆的形
象，成为人的样式；
8 既然有人的样子，就自甘卑微，
顺服至死，而且死在十字架上。
(Phi 2:3-8 CNVS)
