耶穌的命令

耶穌的命令
聖經閱讀：約翰福音13:31-35 現代中譯本|合和本
2013年10月9日(三)

「愛人」是什麼意思呢？如果我們真的愛人，我們就會幫助他們，並且原諒他們。但有時候，愛別人是很難的。 　今天經文的第34b節，耶穌命令說：「要彼此相愛。我怎樣愛你們，你們也要怎樣彼此相愛。」而在馬可福音12:31，耶穌又命令：「你要愛鄰人，像愛自己一樣。」另外，耶穌在馬太福音5:44又說到，我們應該愛我們的仇敵。 　耶穌說得很清楚，祂並沒有賜給我們選擇的機會。耶穌沒有說我們可以選擇愛人或不愛人，祂說我們一定要彼此相愛。 　首先，我們必須向其他基督徒表現我們的愛。其次，我們必須去愛未信主的人，讓他們看見上帝的愛。第三，我們必須愛我們的仇敵，並幫助他們找到耶穌。 　我希望今天你會遵從耶穌的命令並且去愛所有的人。—GT 「親愛的朋友們，我們要彼此相愛，因為愛是從上帝來的。那有愛的，是上帝的兒女，也認識上帝。」 約翰一書4:7 禱告：天上的父，請讓我知道，我如何才能夠依照耶穌的命令去愛所有的人。奉主的名，阿們！ (姜冠群譯)

Jesus’ Commands
Bible Reading: John 13:31-35
Wednesday, October 9, 2013

What does it mean to love someone? If we really love someone, we will help them and forgive them. But sometimes it is hard to love other people. 　In verse 34b of our Bible Reading Jesus commanded, “Love each other. You must love each other just as I loved you.” In Mark 12:31 Jesus commanded: “Love your neighbor the same as you love yourself.” And, Jesus said in Matthew 5:44 that we should love our enemies. 　Jesus makes it very clear. He does not give us a choice. Jesus didn’t say that we can choose to love people or not. He said we must love each other. 　First, we need to show love to other Christians. Second, we need to show God’s love by loving people who are not Christians. And third, we need to love our enemies and help them find Jesus. 　I hope you will obey Jesus’ commands today and love all people. —GT “Dear friends, we should love each other, because love comes from God. Everyone who loves has become God’s child. And so everyone who loves knows God.” 1 John 4:7 PRAYER: Heavenly Father, show me how I can love all people as Jesus commanded. In His name. Amen.
