喜樂

喜樂
聖經閱讀：腓立比書3:7-11 現代中譯本|合和本
2016年11月20日(日)

　有一個小男孩用一元紙鈔舖滿整張床，那是他去幫人除草賺到的錢，這個小男孩內心充滿了喜樂。
有一個母親看著剛出生的孩子，她看著孩子的眼睛和笑容，這個母親洋溢著喜樂。
這些是都是帶給我們大喜樂的寶物，但是我們可以擁有、最珍貴的寶物是認識我們的救主耶穌。在今天讀的經文中，保羅說他「把萬事看作虧損的，因為我以認識我主基督耶穌為至寶」（第8b節）。有耶穌作為救主是我們可以擁有的最大喜樂。
我們都曾有過不信靠上帝來看顧自己的時候，但是我們可以知道祂永遠與我們同在，永遠不會讓我們失望。你想要經歷大喜樂嗎？請將一生交託給上帝並天天為祂而活。 —LHD

「我只渴望認識基督，體驗他復活的大能。」 腓立比書3:10a

禱告：主，祢對我的愛真偉大，謝謝祢因為我事奉耶穌而賜下喜樂。奉主的名，阿們！

Joy
Bible Reading: Philippians 3:7-11
Sunday, November 20, 2016

　A young boy placed $1 bills on his bed, covering the entire top of the bed. He had earned this money mowing lawns. The young boy was filled with joy.
A mother looked at her newborn child. She looked at the child’s eyes and smile. The mother was overflowing with joy.
These are examples of treasures that brought great joy. But the most precious treasure that we can have is to know Jesus as our Savior. In our Bible verses, Paul said that all the great things that happened to him were “worth nothing compared with the greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord” (verse 8b). Having Jesus as our Savior is the greatest joy we can have.
We have all experienced times when we did not trust God to take care of us. But we can know that He is always with us and will never let us down. Do you want to experience great joy? Give your life to God and live for Him every day. —LHD

“All I want is to know Christ and the power that raised him from death.” Philippians 3:10a

PRAYER: Lord, Your love for me is so great. Thank You for the joy I have because I serve Jesus. In His name. Amen.

寶貴的

寶貴的

2000年時，有一個人用45元買了一些攝影感光板，裡面有一些在優勝美地國家公園拍的照片。十年後，這些照片被發現是名攝影師安塞爾亞當斯所拍攝的，它們估計約價值2億美元！
馬太福音26:47-56告訴我們，猶大引領一些猶太人去捉拿耶穌，今天閱讀的經文告訴我們，有人付猶大30塊銀幣來做這件事，這是當時買一匹馬五分之一的價錢，對猶太人來說，耶穌的價值還不如一匹馬！
耶穌，全能上帝的獨生子，是那位救贖我們、應許我們永生的神。猶太人並不了解耶穌的價值，他們認不出祂就是來拯救他們脫離罪惡的彌賽亞，但是耶穌的價值遠高於30個銀幣或是2億元，祂就是我們生命的全部。
耶穌對你來說有多寶貴呢？你要讓祂成為你一生中最重要的部份。 —BL

「為了他，我損失了一切，當作垃圾，為要贏得基督」 腓立比書3:8b

禱告：上帝，謝謝祢賜下耶穌，我願一生以祂為至高至大。奉耶穌的名，阿們！

Valuable
Bible Reading: Matthew 26:14-16
Friday, July 8, 2016

　In 2000 a man paid $45 for some photographic plates of pictures taken in Yosemite National Park. Ten years later it was discovered that these photos were taken by the famous photographer, Ansel Adams, and they were valued to be worth $200 million!
Matthew 26:47-56 tells us that Judas led some of the Jews to arrest Jesus. Our Bible verses tell us that Judas was paid 30 silver coins for doing this. That was one-fifth of the price paid for a horse at that time. To the Jews, Jesus was worth less than a horse!
Jesus, the only Son of Almighty God, is the One who has redeemed us and promises us eternal life. The Jews did not realize Jesus' value. They did not recognize Him as the Messiah who had come to save them from their sins. But Jesus is worth far more than 30 pieces of silver or $200 million. He should mean everything to us.
How valuable is Jesus to you? Make Him the most important part of your life. —BL

“...now I think that all things are worth nothing compared with the greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord.” Philippians 3:8b

PRAYER: God, thank You for Jesus. I want Him to be most important in my life. In Jesus' name. Amen.
