三個命令

三個命令
聖經閱讀：利未記19:15-18 現代中譯本|合和本
2013年12月4日(三)

今天經文的第18節說：「不可報仇；也不可埋怨本國的同胞。要愛自己的鄰人，像愛自己一樣。我是上主。」這些命令當時是賜給上帝的選民，以色列人，但是我們也應該遵行這些命令。 　讓我們來看看如何才能遵行第18節中的三個命令。我們要如何才能忘掉別人對我們做的錯事而不埋怨他們呢？我們可以決定讓上帝用祂的時間和方式來懲罰這些人。 　我們又該做什麼而不試著去報仇呢？我們應該要原諒那些傷害我們的人。而在我們遵行了前面兩個命令之後，我們就能夠遵行第三個命令，去愛別人像愛我們自己一樣，而這意味著我們會為他們禱告，並且希望他們得到最好的祝福。 　一個經節和三道命令，就請求上帝幫助你遵行所有這些命令。 —GT 「『愛人如己』……要當心哪，如果你們像禽獸一樣相咬相吞，你們一定同歸於盡。」 加拉太書5:14b-15 禱告：天上的父，謝謝?幫助我遵行祢的命令。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (尤榮輝譯)

Three Commands
Bible Reading: Leviticus 19:15-18
Wednesday, December 4, 2013

Verse 18 of our Bible Reading says, “Forget about the wrong things people do to you. Don’t try to get even. Love your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord.” These commands were for God’s people, the Israelites, but we should obey these commands, too. 　Let’s look at how we can obey the three commands in verse 18. How do we forget the wrong things people have done to us? We decide to let God punish these people in His way and His time. 　What should we do instead of trying to get even? We should forgive people who have hurt us. And after we have obeyed the first two commands, we will be able to obey the third command to love people as we love ourselves. This means that we will pray for them and want what is best for them. 　One verse and three commands. Ask God to help you obey them all. —GT “Love your neighbor the same as you love yourself.’ If you continue hurting each other and tearing each other apart, be careful, or you will completely destroy each other.” Galatians 5:14b-15 PRAYER: Heavenly Father, thank You for helping me obey Your commands. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
