詩篇 119 (20)
聖經閱讀：馬太福音2:1-12 現代中譯本|合和本
2016年12月13日(二)

　今天是最後一篇談星象家的靈修文。這些人一定有做好長途旅行的計劃和準備，他們也有做過研究才知道那宣告新王出生的兆頭。
當那顆星出現時，星象家備齊了特別的禮物要帶去獻給剛出生的王，他們準備好旅途所需的補給品，當他們到達耶路撒冷時，星象家停下來問希律王哪裡可以找到新生的王。
星象家盡力準備好一切去朝見耶穌，他們在兩千年前耶穌在世上時見到了祂，有一天耶穌會再回到世上，那時我們一定要準備好面見祂。
我們要如何才能準備好面見耶穌呢？我們可以藉著讀經並遵行聖經的教導來讓自己每天更親近祂，到那一天，我們就可以親眼看見耶穌再來。 我希望你已經準備好面見耶穌！ —GT

「所以，你們也應該隨時準備好，因為人子要在你們料想不到的時間忽然來臨。」 馬太福音24:44

禱告：天父，求祢在我準備面見耶穌時幫助我。奉耶穌的名，阿們！

(李信儀譯)

Wise Men (6)
Bible Reading: Matthew 2:1-12
Tuesday, December 13, 2016

　Today is our last devotion about the wise men. These men must have planned and prepared for their long trip. They had studied and knew the sign that would announce the birth of the new king.
When the star appeared, the wise men gathered special gifts to give to the king. They loaded supplies for the journey. When they arrived in Jerusalem, the wise men stopped and asked King Herod where they could find the new king.
The wise men did everything necessary to prepare themselves to be ready to meet Jesus. The wise men saw Jesus when He was on earth more than 2000 years ago. Someday Jesus will come back to earth. Then we must be prepared to meet Him.
How can we be ready to meet Jesus? We can read and obey the Bible and continue to grow closer to Him every day. Finally, we can watch for Jesus to return. I hope you are ready to meet Jesus! —GT

“So you also must be ready. The Son of Man will come at a time when you don’t expect him.” Matthew 24:44

PRAYER: Father, help me as I prepare to meet Jesus. In Jesus' name. Amen.
