跟從耶穌

跟從耶穌
聖經閱讀：路加福音9:23-27 現代中譯本|合和本
2014年2月14日(五)

在今天的經文中，耶穌告訴我們基督徒必須做的事。第23b節說：「如果有人要跟從我，就得捨棄自己，天天背負他的十字架來跟從我。」 　所以耶穌說我們必須做什麼呢？我們必須停止正在做的錯事，我們必須停止驕傲。因為我們跟從祂，我們必須願意去面對發生在我們身上的壞事。 　第24節說：「那為了我喪失生命的，反要得到生命。」耶穌這句話是在說，如果跟從祂，我們也許必須面對死亡，但是沒關係，因為跟從耶穌是世上最重要的事情。 　不要以耶穌為恥，甚至在人們對你做壞事的時候，也要信心堅定。今天和今後的每一天，就跟從耶穌吧！ －DVH* 「如果有人以我和我的話為恥，人子在他的榮耀中，跟在他父親與聖天使們的榮耀中來臨的時候，也要以他為恥。」 路加福音9:26 禱告：天父，謝謝祢賜下耶穌，今天我願服事並遵從祂。奉主的名，阿們！ (陳萍萍譯)

Follow Jesus
Bible Reading: Luke 9:23-27
Friday, February 14, 2014

In our Bible Reading today, Jesus tells us what Christians need to do. Verse 23b says, “Any of you who want to be my follower must stop thinking about yourself and what you want. You must be willing to carry the cross that is given to you every day for following me.” 　So what did Jesus say we need to do? We need to give up the wrong things we are doing. We need to stop being proud. We need to be willing to face the bad things that happen to us because we follow Him. 　Verse 24 says, “But you who give up your life for me will save it.” Jesus is saying that if we follow Him, we might have to face death. But that’s okay, because following Him is the most important thing in the world. 　Don’t be ashamed of Jesus. Be willing to stand strong even when people are doing bad things to you. Follow Jesus today and every day. —DVH* “Don’t be ashamed of me and my teaching. If that happens, I will be ashamed of you when I come with my divine greatness and that of the Father and the holy angels.” Luke 9:26 PRAYER: Father, thank You for Jesus. I want to serve and obey Him today. In His name. Amen.
