运用银子，学习照顾圣徒
在主的恢复里，我们没有牧师作照顾圣徒的工作。这种牧养的形式来自堕落的基督教。在主的恢复里，每位弟兄姊妹都必须接受负担照顾别人，特别是青年人和新人。散会之后，许多人习惯只与某些人谈话。然而，我们该利用这机会接触青年人、新人、甚至退后的人。你若有心这样作，并且愿意运用你的银子，尽管你也许很忙，你仍然能照顾人。甚至花十分钟接触人，我们也能给他许多造就。人这样得了建造之后，会觉得温暖，并且知道他得了照顾。然后他会渴慕得着更多的帮助。我们若都实行这事，就没有人会被忽略。
藉着照顾人，在教会中尽功用
许多人以为尽功用只是在聚会中说话。但肢体正确的功用乃是藉着照顾人，将生命的供应服事给人。服事主要的一面不仅是整洁会所或栽培花木。我们在这里乃是为着神的家业。尽管我不愿叫任何人停止说话，我却要指出，在教会生活中尽功用不仅仅是说话的事。
我们都需要学习使用我们的银子，繁增主的家业。主已经把祂家业的一部分当作银子赐给我们各人，我们的负担、责任、和职责，就是要看见这银子得繁增。不要替自己找借口，不要说你没有时间照顾别人。不管你多忙，即使你一周只能来聚会一次，你们可能藉着照顾别人尽功用。不要以为你很软弱。也许你很软弱；然而，别人更软弱，他们需要你。使用你的银子最好的路就是照顾别人。
使用银子照顾人，产生银子的繁增
二十七节说，“就当把我的银子放给兑换银钱的人，到我来的时候，可以连本带利收回。”把银子放给兑换银钱的人，表征运用主的恩赐引领别人得救，并将祂的丰富供应他们。“利”表征我们使用主的恩赐，为主工作所获得的有利结果。你若这样使用你的银子照顾别人，你不仅会使银子繁增，并且会迅速长大、得着变化。

Received Money Back with Interest – Matt. 25:26-27
Use Talent to Care for Saints
In the Lord’s recovery we do not have pastors to do the work of caring for the saints. This type of pastoring comes from fallen Christianity. In the Lord’s recovery every brother and sister must bear the burden to take care of others, especially the young ones and the new ones. After the meeting, many are accustomed to visit only with certain ones. Instead of doing this, they should take this opportunity to contact the new ones, the young ones, and even some backsliding ones for whom they have been praying. If we all did this, all the young ones and weak ones would be taken care of. Although you may be very busy, you can still take care of someone if you have the heart to do so and are willing to exercise your talent. By spending even ten minutes with someone, we can render him a great deal of edification. After someone has been built up in this way, he will feel warmed and know that he has been cared for. Then he will desire to receive more help. If we all practice this, no one will be neglected.
By Caring Others to Function in the Church
Many, however, consider that functioning is just a matter of speaking in the meetings. But the proper function of the members is to minister the life supply to others by taking care of them. The main aspect of the service is not simply to clean the meeting hall or take care of the gardening. We are here for God’s possessions. I do not wish to stop anyone from speaking, I want to point out that functioning in the church life is not merely a matter of speaking.
We all need to learn to use our talent to multiply the Lord’s possessions. The Lord has given each of us part of his possessions as a talent, and our burden, duty and responsibility are to see that this talent is multiplied. Do not make excuses for yourselves, and do not say that you have no time to take care of others. No matter how busy you are, it is still possible to use your function by taking care of others, even if you are able to come to only one meeting a week. Do not think that you are so weak. Perhaps you are weak; however, others are even weaker, and they need you. The best way to use your talent is to take care of others, to become interested in others and concerned for them.
Use Talent to Care for Others to Multiply the Talents
Verse 27 says, “You ought therefore to have deposited my silver with the bankers, and when I came I would have recovered what is mine with interest.” Depositing the silver with the bankers signifies using the Lord’s gift to lead others to salvation and to minister his riches to them. Interest signifies the profitable result we gain for the Lord’s work by using his gift. If you use your talent in this way to take care of others, you will not only multiply the talent, but you yourself will quickly grow and be transformed.
