憐憫
聖經閱讀：以弗所書2:4-7 現代中譯本|合和本
2016年1月26日(二)

　我們今天閱讀的經文中，保羅談到上帝極大的憐憫。就算我們死在罪中、一點都不完美，上帝依然愛我們，這就是憐憫！
上帝透過差派祂的兒子耶穌來到世上，並為我們的罪死在十字架上，來向我們施展祂極大的憐憫。約翰壹書4:10說：「這就是愛：不是我們愛上帝，而是上帝愛我們，差了他的兒子，為我們犧牲，贖了我們的罪。」上帝原本可以讓我們死來懲罰我們的罪，祂原本可以選擇不拯救我們，但是上帝選擇憐憫我們，就算我們不配，祂依然選擇拯救我們！

每一天當我們向上帝請求饒恕我們的過犯時，祂都向我們施憐憫。希伯來書4:16說：「所以，我們應該大膽地來到上帝恩典的寶座前，好領受慈愛和恩典，作為我們及時的幫助。」要讚美上帝，好讓身為基督徒的我們可以每天經歷祂的憐憫！
祂的憐憫是多麼的美好！ —CPE*

「但是，上帝有豐盛的憐憫；他對我們的愛浩大無窮。」 以弗所書2:4

禱告：親愛的上帝，雖然我不配，但謝謝祢向我施憐憫。奉耶穌的名，阿們！

Merciful
Bible Reading: Ephesians 2:4-7
Tuesday, January 26, 2016

In our Bible Reading for today, Paul talks about God's great mercy. Even though we are dead in our sins and far from perfect, God still loves us. That is mercy!
God showed His great mercy to us when He sent His Son, Jesus, to come into this world and die on the cross for our sins. 1 John 4:10 says, “True love is God's love for us, not our love for God. He sent his Son as the way to take away our sins.” God could have let us die as punishment for our sins. He could have decided not to save us. But God chose to be merciful. He chose to save us even though we do not deserve it!

God also shows His mercy to us everyday when we ask Him for forgiveness of our sins. Hebrews 4:16 says, “With Jesus as our high priest, we can feel free to come before God's throne where there is grace. There we receive mercy and kindness to help us when we need it.” Praise God that we, as Christians, can experience His mercy every day!
How wonderful is His mercy! —CPE*

“But God is rich in mercy, and he loved us very much.” Ephesians 2:4

PRAYER: Dear God, even though I don't deserve it, thank You for showing me mercy. In Jesus' name. Amen.
