活水

活水
聖經閱讀：約翰福音4:7-15 現代中譯本|合和本
2015年8月6日(四)

每一天醒來的時候，我會喝一杯水。在喝水時，我感謝上帝創造水讓我有活力並維持生命。 　在今天閱讀的經文中，耶穌跟一個撒馬利亞的女人說話，耶穌告訴那女人，說祂可以賜給她「活水」。耶穌的意思是說，祂會賜下永恆的生命給跟隨並順服祂的人：「但是，誰喝了我所給的水，誰就永遠不再渴。我給的水要在他裡面成為泉源，不斷地湧出活水，使他得到永恆的生命」（第14節）。 　當我們跟隨並順服耶穌時，就是領受了祂的「活水」，我們就會改變並找到人生的新目標。上帝賜給我們祂的聖靈來引導我們、安慰我們，當每天服事上帝時，我們就被祂的平安所充滿並期盼永遠與祂同住！ 　我希望你已經接受了耶穌的活水，並且天天服事祂！ －CG 「人要是渴了，就該到我這裡來喝。聖經上說：『那信我的人有活水的河流要從他心中湧流出來。』」 約翰福音:7:37b-38 禱告：上帝，謝謝祢賜下救贖計劃，我祈求所有人都跟從祢並榮耀祢的名。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (尤榮輝譯)

Living Water
Bible Reading: John 4:7-15
Thursday, August 6, 2015

Every day when I get up, I drink a glass of water. As I drink the water, I thank God for making water to refresh me and keep me alive. 　In our Bible Reading today, Jesus talked with a woman from Samaria. Jesus told the woman that He could give her “living water.” What Jesus meant was that He will give eternal life to people who follow and obey Him. “But anyone who drinks the water I give will never be thirsty again. The water I give people will be like a spring flowing inside them. It will bring them eternal life” (verse 14). 　When we follow and obey Jesus, we accept His “living water.” We change and find a new purpose in life. God gives us His Holy Spirit to guide and comfort us. As we serve God every day, we are filled with His peace and look forward to living forever with Him! 　I hope that you have accepted Jesus’ living water and are serving Him every day! —CG “Whoever is thirsty may come to me and drink. If anyone believes in me, rivers of living water will flow out from their heart. That is what the Scriptures say.” John 7:37b-38 PRAYER: God, thank You for Your plan of salvation. I pray that all people will follow You and glorify Your name. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
