聖經閱讀：羅馬書16:3-4 現代中譯本|合和本
2014年9月7日(日)
在使徒行傳第18章裡，我們得知一對夫妻名叫亞居拉和百基拉，保羅「留下來跟他們一起工作；因為保羅一向靠製造帳棚維持生活，跟他們是同業」（使徒行傳18:3）。他們到以弗所（使徒行傳18:19）幫助保羅傳揚耶穌的福音。我們對亞居拉和百基拉知道的不多，但是今天的經文告訴我們一些關於他們的重要事情。首先，保羅說他們是事奉基督耶穌的同工（第3節）；第二，保羅在第4節說「他們為了我冒生命的危險。」 亞居拉和百基拉都願意受死好讓保羅的性命得救，他們是堅強的基督徒，而且他們也知道上帝在任何情況都會照顧他們。 不論未來你會遇到什麼事情，你可以知道上帝是你的保護和力量的來源。請學像亞居拉和百基拉信靠祂！ —JK 「在他裏面扎根，生長，建立信心；你們就是這樣受教的。你們也要充滿著感謝的心。」 歌羅西書2:7
禱告：上帝，謝謝祢保護我並賜給我力量。奉耶穌的名，阿們！

Traveling with Paul (7)
Bible Reading: Romans 16:3-4

In Acts, chapter 18, we learn about a husband and wife named Aquila and Priscilla. “They were tentmakers, the same as Paul, so he stayed with them and worked with them” (Acts 18:3). They traveled to the city of Ephesus (Acts 18:19) and helped him spread the news about Jesus. We do not know a lot about Aquila and Priscilla, but our Bible Reading for today tells us something important about them. First, Paul says that they worked with him for Christ Jesus (verse 3). Second, Paul says in verse 4, “They risked their own lives to save mine.” Aquila and Priscilla were willing to die so that Paul’s life would be saved. They were strong Christians, and they knew that God would take care of them in every situation. No matter what you will face in the future, you can know that God is your protection and source of strength. Be like Aquila and Priscilla and depend on Him! —JK “You must depend on Christ only, drawing life and strength from him. Just as you were taught the truth, continue to grow stronger in your understanding of it. And never stop giving thanks to God.” Colossians 2:7
PRAYER: God, thank You for protecting me and giving me strength. In Jesus’ name. Amen. |
