聖經閱讀：啟示錄3:7-13

2015年10月31日(六)

在啟示錄這卷書裡，耶穌向七間教會說話。每一次耶穌傳一個信息給教會時，祂都用這句話作結束：「聖靈向各教會所說的話，有耳朵的，都聽吧！」（啟示錄 3:13）

「聖靈向各教會所說的話......都聽吧！」是甚麼意思呢？當我們跟上帝有親密的關係時，我們就會留心聆聽祂說的話。也許講員告訴我們要停止做不對的事，但我們卻選擇不理會講員的話；我們已經聽見了傳講的信息，但我們卻不願意悔改。如果我們是真心跟隨上帝，就會留意祂和聖靈，也會時時刻刻選擇聽從上帝和祂的話語。

如果我們每天都留心聆聽上帝的話語，就會更容易順服祂，這樣，我們就會領受跟祂永遠同住的應許。讚美上帝！ —SH*

「所以，所有聽我這些話而實行的，就像一個聰明人把房子蓋在磐石上」
馬太福音7:24

禱告：天父，祢是唯一我願敬拜並遵從的那一位。奉耶穌的名，阿們！

Bible Reading: Revelation 3:7-13

Saturday, October 31, 2015

In the book of Revelation, Jesus spoke to seven churches. Each time Jesus gave a message for a church, He ended the message with these words: “Every person that hears these things should listen to what the Spirit says to the churches” (Revelation 3:13).

What does it mean to “listen to what the Spirit says to the churches”? When we have a close relationship with God, we will pay attention to what He says. Maybe a preacher tells us to stop doing what is wrong, but we choose to ignore the preacher’s words. We have listened to the words, but we do not want to repent. But if we are truly following God, we will pay attention to Him and the Holy Spirit. We will always choose to obey God and His Word.

If we pay attention to God’s words every day, it will be easier to obey Him. Then we will receive the promise of eternal life with Him. Praise God! —SH*

“Whoever hears these teachings of mine and obeys them is like a wise man who built his house on rock.”

2015年10月30日(五)

舊約時期，人們透過先知來聽上帝說話，但是這些人卻不理會先知的預言。今天的經文告訴我們，上帝的救贖計劃是要賜給祂的特別選民猶太人，但很多猶太人拒絕耶穌，因此上帝也將救恩賜給外邦人（非猶太人）。

現今人們閱讀聖經故事，但大部份時候，他們並沒有改變自己的生活方式。人們讀了上帝美好的應許，卻仍然感到憂愁，這些人是怎麼了？我要藉由一個例子來回答這個問題。

假設我有一塊香皂，這塊香皂並不會讓我就變乾淨直等到我去使用它。讀經也是一樣，只讀經是不夠的，我們還必須相信它、遵行它。

不要學像那些聽見上帝話語卻什麼都不做的人，要懇求上帝幫助你將上帝的話語化作生活中的行動。 —SH*

「你們聽見了，領受了，並不以為是領受人的信息，而是領受那確確實實出自上帝的信息；因為上帝在你們信的人當中工作。」

Bible Reading: Hebrews 4:1-7
Friday, October 30, 2015

In the Old Testament, the people heard God speak through the prophets. But these people ignored the prophets. Our Bible Reading today tells us that God’s plan of salvation was for His special people, the Jews. But many Jews rejected Jesus. So God also offered salvation to the Gentiles (non-Jews).

People today read Bible stories. But most of the time, they do not change the way they live. People read God’s wonderful promises, but they are still sad. What’s wrong with these people? I will answer that question by giving you an example.

Suppose I have a bar of soap. That soap will not make me clean until I use it. It’s the same with the Bible. Only reading the Bible is not enough. We need to believe it and obey it, too.

Don’t be like people who hear God’s Word and do nothing. Ask God to help you put His Word into action in your life. —SH*

“You heard it and accepted it as God’s message, not our own. And it really is God’s message. And it works in you who believe.”

你可以很努力來讓一個失明的人看見嗎？或者，你可以照著食譜而使水變成酒嗎？你懂輪椅就可以讓瘸腿的人行走嗎？這些都是很愚蠢的問題，我們不能做什麼來讓這些事發生。

但是有時候我以為可以靠自己來完成上帝的工，我企圖不倚靠上帝的能力來幫助我做事。但我必須記得，只有上帝能幫助我活出潔淨的生命，只有上帝能賜給我內心真正的平安，也只有上帝能赦免我的罪並賜給我與祂同住的永生。

在經文閱讀的第5節，保羅對加拉太的基督徒說：「上帝賜給你們聖靈，又在你們當中行各樣神蹟，是因為你們遵行法律，還是因為你們聽信福音呢？」

我必須停止靠自己的努力來做上帝的工，我必須留心聆聽上帝的話語並且做好自己的部份，而且我也必須相信上帝會做好祂的部份。今天就信靠上帝吧！ —SH*

Bible Reading: Galatians 3:1-9

Thursday, October 29, 2015

Could you work really hard and make a blind person see? Or could you read a recipe and change water into wine? Could you learn about wheelchairs and make a lame person walk? Those are all silly questions. We can’t do anything to make those things happen.

But sometimes I think I can do God’s work on my own. I try to do things without depending on God’s power to help me. I need to remember that only God can help me live a pure life. Only God can give me real peace in my heart. Only God can forgive my sins and give me eternal life with Him.

 In verse 5b of our Bible Reading Paul tells the Christians in Galatia, “God gives you his Spirit and works miracles among you because you heard the message about Jesus and believed it.”

I need to stop trying so hard to do God’s work. I need to pay attention to God’s Word and do my part. And I need to trust God to do His part. Trust God today! —SH*

有時候我希望自己更有信心，這讓我想到今天閱讀的經文，其中的第17節說：「可見信是從聽而來的，而聽是從基督的話語來的。」所以，我可以藉著聆聽上帝的話語而更有信心。但有些人喪失了聽力，如果他們不能「聆聽」上帝的話語，要如何有信心呢？

今天閱讀的經文不是說要用我們肉體的耳朵來聆聽，而是說要閱讀並留意上帝的話語。

有時候我們對發生在自己身上的事感到疑惑、不了解，但是如果我們讀經，就可以知道上帝了解我們的問題，也可以知道上帝對我們的生命有一個計劃，並且知道祂要祝福我們，這樣，我們就會覺得比較舒服，為什麼呢？因為我們知道上帝正透過祂的話語在對我們說話。

你需要更有信心嗎？就讀經吧！讓上帝透過你所閱讀的經文來對你說話。 —SH*

Bible Reading: Romans 10:14-17
Wednesday, October 28, 2015

Sometimes I wish I had more faith. Then I think about today’s Bible Reading. Verse 17a says, “So faith comes from hearing the Good News.” So I can have more faith by hearing the Good News. But some people are deaf. How can they have faith if they cannot “hear” the Good News?

Our Bible verses are not talking about hearing with our physical ears. Instead, they are talking about reading God’s Word and paying attention to it.

Sometimes we are confused and don’t understand what is happening to us. But if we read the Bible, we can learn that God knows about our problems. We can also learn that God has a plan for our lives and that He wants to make good things happen to us. Then we can feel better. Why? Because we know God is speaking to us through His Word.

Do you need more faith? Read the Bible. Let God speak to you through the Bible verses you read. —SH*

“The same Lord is the Lord of all people. And he richly blesses everyone who looks to him for help. Yes, ‘everyone who trusts in the Lord will be saved.’”

是不是有些人聽到一些事卻不明白所聽到的？或者，是不是有些人看到一些事卻不了解所看到的？今天我們閱讀的經文中，耶穌說：「他們視而不見，聽而不聞，又不明白」（第13節）。

有時候我們就像耶穌所說的人那樣，我們有讀到告訴我們要停止犯罪的經文，但是我們卻仍然繼續犯罪，或者，我們有讀到告訴我們要讚美上帝的經文，但是我們卻常常抱怨、發牢騷。

有些人讀上帝的話語卻沒有留心，也許你有讀經，但是卻忽略其中要你去做的事。問題不在於你的耳朵，問題是在於你的心和態度，你必須留心聆聽上帝和祂在聖經中的話語。

就請求上帝幫助你留心聆聽祂的話語，這樣你就會知道如何愛祂、順服祂。 —SH*

Bible Reading: Matthew 13:10-17
Tuesday, October 27, 2015

Can some people hear something and not understand what they heard? Or can some people see something and not understand what they saw? In our Bible Reading today Jesus said, “They see, but they don’t really see. They hear, but they don’t really hear or understand” (verse 13b).

Sometimes we are like the people Jesus was talking about. We read a Bible verse that tells us to stop sinning. But we continue to sin. Or a Bible verse tells us to praise God. Instead, we grumble and complain.

Some people read God’s Word but they do not pay attention to it. Maybe you read the Bible, but you ignore what it tells you to do. The problem is not your ears. The problem is your heart and your attitude. You need to pay attention to God and His words in the Bible.

Ask God to help you pay attention to His Word. Then you will know how you can love and obey Him. —SH*

參觀豪宅是我很喜歡做的一件事，我總是會注意那些高大的窗戶和華麗的窗簾，我好奇想知道他們是如何保持這些窗戶和窗簾的乾淨！

我們今天閱讀的經文跟我們談到聖幕中一幅華麗的帳幔，這是上帝設計的帳幔，所以我們知道它一定非常美麗，第31節說：「要用麻紗和藍色、紫色、深紅色的毛線織成一幅帳幔，上面繡著基路伯圖案。」這幅帳幔把聖所和至聖所隔開，大祭司會每年一次進入至聖所為以色列人的罪獻祭。

新約聖經跟我們談到有一幅類似的帳幔掛在耶路撒冷的聖殿中，當耶穌死在十字架上的時候，這幅帳幔裂成兩半，這向我們顯明，唯有耶穌能赦免我們的罪並且帶領我們親近上帝。你要感謝上帝差派耶穌為了你的罪受死！ －DB

「那麼，弟兄姊妹們，我們藉著耶穌的死可以坦然無懼地進到至聖所。」

Curtains

Bible Reading: Exodus 26:31-36

Monday, October 26, 2015

One thing I enjoy doing is touring old mansions. I always notice the tall windows and the fancy curtains. I wonder how they kept those windows and curtains clean!

Our Bible Reading today tells us about a fancy curtain in the Holy Tent. God designed this curtain, so we know that it must have been very beautiful. Verse 31 says, “Use fine linen and make a special curtain for the inside of the Holy Tent. Use blue, purple, and red yarn and sew pictures of Cherub angels into the curtain.” This curtain separated the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place. One time a year, the high priest would enter the Most Holy Place to make a sacrifice for the sins of the Israelites.

The New Testament tells us about a similar curtain that hung in the temple in Jerusalem. When Jesus died on the cross, that curtain was torn in two. That shows us that Jesus is the only one who can forgive our sins and bring us close to God. Thank God for sending Jesus to die for your sins! —DB

在今天閱讀的經文中，我們看到一首摩西和以色列人向上帝唱的歌，他們為什麼要唱這首歌呢？因為上帝才剛帶領他們過紅海並且消滅了埃及軍隊。

想像你就在那裡，跟著以色列人一起走在乾地、越過紅海，你有沒有看到兩邊的海水豎起的高牆？你有沒有看見魚和其他海中生物在你身旁的水中游泳？這一定是一個令人驚嘆又害怕的場面！

在以色列人到達海的另一邊之後，他們看到緊追在後的埃及軍隊，心中一定非常害怕。以色列人看到上帝使紅海恢復原狀的時候，一定感到很驚奇。埃及軍隊後來都被淹沒了。

我們絕對不能忘記上帝是多麼的強大和神聖！

第11b節告訴我們：「在諸神中有像你的嗎？誰像你神聖威嚴？誰像你行神蹟奇事？」 －JB*

Amazing God

Bible Reading: Exodus 15:1-18

Sunday, October 25, 2015

In our Bible Reading today we find a song that Moses and the Israelites sang to God. Why did they sing this song? Because God had just led them through the Red Sea and destroyed the Egyptian army.

Just imagine that you were there with the Israelites walking on dry ground through the Red Sea. Do you see the great wall of water on either side? Do you see the fish and other sea creatures swimming in the water around you? How awesome and terrifying that must have been!

After the Israelites reached the other side of the sea, they must have been frightened to see the Egyptian army coming after them. The Israelites must have been amazed as God caused the Red Sea to flow back as it was before. The Egyptian army was drowned.

We must never forget how powerful and holy God is! Verse 11b tells us, “No, there are no gods like you — you are wonderfully holy! You are amazingly powerful! You do great miracles!” —JB*

“The Lord is my strength. He saves me, and I sing songs of praise to him. He is my God, and I praise him. He is the God of my ancestors and I honor him.” Exodus 15:2

God, My Shepherd

Bible Reading: Psalm 23:1-6
Saturday, October 24, 2015

I am deaf, but I have been attending a hearing school in Burundi for five years. Before I started going to the hearing school, I was afraid I would not pass the entrance tests.

As I was thinking about the entrance tests, I remembered Psalm 23. Verse 1 says, “The Lord is my shepherd. I will always have everything I need.” After I thought about those verses, I was comforted to know that God was with me.

I passed the tests and was able to start school soon after that. As I studied, I continued to pray and ask God to help me. At the end of the term, I was second in my class. I thanked God for helping me do well in school. I am now studying computer science and have two more years until I graduate.

God will take care of you, too. Talk to Him today. Tell Him your worries and thank Him for all He does for you. God will truly be your Shepherd. —PN*

身為基督徒我們應該盼望著耶穌的再來，我們知道聖經是真實的，聖經告訴我們有一天耶穌將會再來，這件事應該會讓我們感到非常興奮。
今天經文閱讀的第16a節告訴我們：「主的命令一下，天使長一喊，上帝的號筒一響，主本身要從天上降下。」

看見耶穌降臨會是一件很棒的事，我們必須一直等候祂的再來，可能是今天、明年，或是二十年之後，只有上帝知道耶穌再來的時間（馬太福音24:36）。

Watching for Jesus

Bible Reading: 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18

Friday, October 23, 2015

Several times I have waited for a friend or loved one to arrive at the airport. As I waited, I was excited for their plane to land. There are always many people in airports watching the sky. They hope to see the airplane that they have been waiting for.

As Christians we should be watching for Jesus to return. We know that the Bible is true. The Bible says that Jesus will come back someday. That should make us very excited. Verse 16a of our Bible Reading tells us about that. “The Lord himself will come down from heaven with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God.”

It will be wonderful to see Jesus coming. We need to be watching for His return. It could be today, next year or twenty years from now. Only God knows the time when Jesus will come (Matthew 24:36).

Look forward to that wonderful day when we will be able to live forever with Jesus! —PD

God Pays Attention

Thursday, October 22, 2015

Sometimes I talk with a person who just talks and talks and talks. Soon I stop listening to them. I begin to look around and look up at the ceiling. My mind wanders, and I ask myself, “When are they going to stop talking?” 　In that situation, I am not paying attention to the person who is talking. But it is always different with God. Verse 20a of our Bible Reading today says, “Praise God! He did not turn away from me — he listened to my prayer.” This verse means that when I talk to God, He doesn't think about other things or look away from me. God pays attention to my prayers! 　God listens to me when I talk with Him. He pays attention to every word or sign that I use. And He always answers my prayers in His time and in a way that is always best for me. 　When you pray today, you can be sure that God is paying attention! —SAH “I will call to God for help, and the Lord will save me. I speak to God morning, noon, and night. I tell him what upsets me, and he listens to me!” Psalm 55:16-17 PRAYER: Father, thank You for always paying attention to my prayers. In Jesus' name. Amen.

Love But Not Like?
Bible Reading: Luke 10:25-37
Wednesday, October 21, 2015

Many Christians say, “You have to love everyone, but you don't have to like them.” When a person says this, they are probably thinking about someone they do not get along with. The person who says this is making an excuse. Why? Because they do not want to associate with that person. 　Does this agree with the kind of love we read about in the Bible? No, the Bible teaches us to not worry about liking someone. Instead, we should reach out to all people, even someone who refuses to love us! 　In today's Bible Reading, Jesus taught us that we should not reject people who are different than we are. We should show these people our love by helping them. The Samaritan in our Bible verses could have walked away from the injured man. Instead, he helped him. 　Jesus wants us to be like the Samaritan. We should “go and do the same” for other people (verse 37b). —MK “My children, our love should not be only words and talk. No, our love must be real. We must show our love by the things we do.” 1 John 3:18 PRAYER: Father, please forgive me for rejecting other people. Help me to love them instead. In Jesus' name. Amen.

Love Serves Others
Bible Reading: Galatians 5:13-18
Tuesday, October 20, 2015

Jesus said, “Do for others what you would want them to do for you” (Matthew 7:12a). Jesus also said that the most important command is to “love the Lord your God,” and the second most important command is to “love your neighbor the same as you love yourself” (Matthew 22:37-39). 　Jesus showed us the way to obey these commands. Jesus showed love for God by always obeying God’s Word, by communicating with God through prayer and by resisting temptations to sin. Jesus also showed His love for God by loving other people. 　Jesus showed His love for other people by serving them. When people were hungry, Jesus fed them. When people were sick, Jesus healed them. Jesus also shared the Word of God with people who needed to hear it. Finally, Jesus took the punishment for people’s sins when He died on the cross. 　Look at the ways Jesus showed His love. Then think about how you can copy His example today. —MK “The whole law is made complete in this one command: ‘Love your neighbor the same as you love yourself.’” Galatians 5:14 PRAYER: Dear Lord, I want to follow Jesus’ example. In His name. Amen.
