在我小的時候，我們教會在夏天會舉辦「暑假聖經學校」。有兩週的時間，我早上都有課程，學習認識上帝和耶穌。我很喜歡到暑假聖經學校上課，有時候我們會做手工藝，也有作業練習簿，並且會唱很多快樂的詩歌。 　今天的經文告訴我們，當耶穌十二歲的時候，祂在聖殿裡，坐在猶太教師們中間，「邊聽邊問」（第46節）。這件事給我們一個好榜樣，我們必須學習更加認識上帝和耶穌──無論我們年紀多大。 　當我長更大時，每一次讀經，我就更加認識上帝和耶穌。更多的研讀和學習，我就更加地愛祂們，也更加明白上帝如何在世上作工。 　我希望你會每天持續不斷地學習更認識上帝和耶穌，這樣你就可以向那些還不認識耶穌的人分享你所學到的。 －CW* 「耶穌的身體和智慧一齊增長，深得上帝和人的喜愛。」 路加福音2:52 禱告：親愛的上帝，我願花時間認識祢和祢的兒子耶穌。奉主的名，阿們！ (林威妮譯)

Jesus as a Boy (1)
Bible Reading: Luke 2:41-52
Monday, March 24, 2014

When I was a child, our church had Vacation Bible School (VBS) during the summer. For two weeks, I had classes in the morning where I learned about God and Jesus. I liked going to VBS. Sometimes we made a craft item. We also had workbooks and sang lots of happy songs. 　Our Bible Reading today tells us that when Jesus was twelve years old, He sat in the temple with the religious teachers, “listening and asking them questions” (verse 46). This is a good example for us. We need to learn more about God and Jesus — no matter how old we are. 　As I get older, I learn more about God and Jesus every time I read the Bible. The more I study and learn, the more I love them. I also become more aware of how God works in the world. 　I hope that you will continue to learn more about God and Jesus every day. Then you can share what you have learned with people who do not know about Jesus. —CW* “As Jesus grew taller, he continued to grow in wisdom. God was pleased with him and so were the people who knew him.” Luke 2:52 PRAYER: Dear God, I want to spend time learning about You and Your Son, Jesus. In His name. Amen.
