聖經閱讀：約翰福音3:16-17 現代中譯本|合和本
2015年4月17日(五)
每年的夏天，我們鎮上會有一個叫作「瘋狂節」的活動，鎮裡的生意人會用比平常更低的價錢出清存貨，有時候人們可以在瘋狂節裡找到真正物美價選廉的東西。今年我去瘋狂節的活動裡採購，有人出清夏天的東西好騰出空間擺放秋天和冬天的商品，在地的一家店甚至在公園裡提供免費早餐。這真是一件很棒的事，很多人都感謝有那些免費的食物。 今天閱讀的簡短經文告訴我們，上帝已經賜給我們遠比一頓免費早餐更棒的東西。祂已經透過祂的獨生愛子耶穌白白賜給了我們救恩禮物。上帝賜給我們的禮物有什麼特別呢？上帝差派耶穌為我們受死，好讓我們能擁有與祂共享永生的應許。透過耶穌的死，我們的罪就得到赦免了。 耶穌是上帝賜給我們、最珍貴的禮物，我希望你相信祂，並且願意跟隨祂、順服祂。 —CW* 「上帝那麼愛世人，甚至賜下他的獨子，要使所有信他的人不致滅亡，反得永恆的生命。」 約翰福音3:16
禱告：天父，我們非常感謝祢為我們賜下祢的愛。奉耶穌的名，阿們！

Free Gift
Bible Reading: John 3:16-17

Every summer our town has an event called “Crazy Days.” Merchants in town sell things at lower prices than normal. Sometimes people can find real bargains at Crazy Days. This year I went shopping on Crazy Days. People sold summer items to make room for fall and winter merchandise. One of the local grocery stores even had a free breakfast in the park. That was a nice thing to do, and many people appreciated the free food. Our short Bible Reading today tells us that God has given us something much better than a free breakfast. He has given us the free gift of salvation through His Son, Jesus. What is so special about God’s gift? God sent Jesus to die for us so we can have the promise of eternal life with Him. Through Jesus’ death, our sins have been forgiven. Jesus is God’s most precious gift to us. I hope that you believe in Him and are willing to follow and obey Him. —CW* “Yes, God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him would not be lost but have eternal life.” John 3:16
PRAYER: Father, we are so thankful for Your love for us. In Jesus’ name. Amen. |
