等候耶穌

等候耶穌

聖經閱讀：帖撒羅尼迦前書4:13-18
2015年10月23日(五)

我有幾次去機場接朋友或親人，在等待的時候，看到他們的飛機降落讓我感到很興奮。在機場總是有很多人看著天空，他們希望能親眼看見所等候的班機。

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）。

期待我們可以跟耶穌永遠同住、奇妙的那一天的來到！ －PD

「我們這些還活著的人都要跟他們一起被提到雲裡，在空中跟主相會。從此，我們就永遠跟主在一起了。」帖撒羅尼迦前書4:17b

禱告：天父，我信靠祢並且期盼耶穌的再來。奉耶穌的名，阿們！

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

“We will be taken up in the clouds and meet the Lord in the air. And we will be with the Lord forever.” 1 Thessalonians 4:17b

PRAYER: Father, I trust You and look forward to Jesus’ return. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
