聖經閱讀：以弗所書3:14-19 現代中譯本|合和本
2014年9月26日(五)
今天我們將會在保羅在書信中看到更多寫給以弗所基督徒的經文，在這些經文中，保羅跟這些人談到他為他們所作的禱告。保羅祈求上帝賜給這些人在靈裡剛強的能力，他也祈求耶穌住在他們心裡，使他們「在他的愛中有根有基」(第17b節)。 最後，保羅禱告祈求所有上帝的子民有能力來了解「基督的愛是多麼的長闊高深」（第18節）。有時候，我們人類的頭腦並不能理解耶穌對我們的愛是多麼的大，但是我們可以明白祂是如此愛我們，以致於祂願意為我們而死。 當我們為別人禱告時，我們應該祈求上帝幫助這些人明白上帝奇妙的愛，這樣他們也將會領受上帝特別的祝福。 —CW* 「願你們能理解基督那超越知識所能領悟的愛，好使你們能完全被上帝的完美所充滿。」 以弗所書3:19
禱告：親愛的天父，我禱告祈求所有人都會認識耶穌的愛，並且將祂看作是生命的主及拯救者來跟從祂。奉主的名禱告，阿們！

Letter to Ephesus (3)
Bible Reading: Ephesians 3:14-19

Today we will look at more verses in Paul’s letter to Christians in Ephesus. In these verses Paul told the people about his prayer for them. Paul asked God to give these people the power to be strong in their spirits. He also asked that Jesus would live in their hearts and that they would be “strong in love and built on love” (verse 17b). Finally, Paul prayed that all God’s people would have the power to understand the “greatness of Christ’s love — how wide, how long, how high, and how deep that love is” (verse 18). Sometimes our human minds cannot understand the greatness of Jesus’ love for us. But we can understand that He loves us so much that He was willing to die for us. When we pray for other people, we should ask God to help them understand Jesus’ amazing love. Then they, too, will receive God’s special blessings. —CW* “Christ’s love is greater than anyone can ever know, but I pray that you will be able to know that love. Then you can be filled with everything God has for you.” Ephesians 3:19
PRAYER: Dear Father, I pray that all people will know about Jesus’ love and follow Him as their Lord and Savior. In His name. Amen. |
