耶穌的生平 (10)

2016年10月22日(六)

耶穌吩咐祂十一個特別的門徒前往加利利的一座山上，他們在山上向耶穌下拜。
今天讀的經節跟我們談到耶穌對門徒說話時，祂給了他們一個特別的命令，耶穌說：「所以，你們要去，使萬國萬民都作我的門徒，奉父、子、聖靈的名給他們施洗，並且教導他們遵守我所給你們的一切命令」（第19-20a節）。
這個命令也適用現今的基督徒，但有時候去向人分享耶穌是一件困難的事，當我們害怕或感到灰心去向人分享福音時，聖靈會幫助我們，祂是我們基督信仰生活中的安慰者、指導者和幫助者。
今天就找機會向人分享耶穌的福音，懇求聖靈幫助你、帶領你。 —BC*

「可是聖靈臨到你們的時候，你們會充滿能力，要在耶路撒冷、猶太，和撒馬利亞全境，甚至到天涯海角，為我作見證。」 使徒行傳1:8

禱告：天父，謝謝祢差派聖靈來幫助我。奉耶穌的名，阿們！

Jesus' Life (10)
Bible Reading: Matthew 28:16-20
Saturday, October 22, 2016

　Jesus told His eleven special followers to go to a mountain in Galilee. On that mountain, they worshiped Jesus. Our Bible verses tell us that while Jesus was talking to His followers, He gave them a special command. Jesus said, “So go and make followers of all people in the world. Baptize them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach them to obey everything that I have told you to do” (verses 19-20a).
This command is for Christians today, too. But sometimes it is hard to tell other people about Jesus. When we are scared or discouraged about sharing the Gospel with others, the Holy Spirit helps us. He is our comforter, counselor and helper in our Christian life.
Look for opportunities today to share the Good News about Jesus with someone. Ask the Holy Spirit to help and guide you. —BC*

“But the Holy Spirit will come on you and give you power. You will be my witnesses. You will tell people everywhere about me — in Jerusalem, in the rest of Judea, in Samaria, and in every part of the world.” Acts 1:8

PRAYER: Father, thank You for sending Your Holy Spirit to help me. In Jesus' name. Amen.

我和先生信主之後，我們很積極向家人和朋友分享耶穌的福音！我弟弟和他的朋友從加州來拜訪我們時，我們就向他們傳講耶穌，後來他們兩個都信了主、娶基督徒為妻，還搬到我們家附近住。
我的父母也搬來作我們的鄰居，當時我不知道他們會不會信主，但我禱告懇求上帝幫助我向他們傳講耶穌。我的公婆從來沒有去過教會，但我們禱告求他們會信主。在我公公心臟病發時，他在手術後說的第一件事是希望信主成為基督徒，於是我先生很高興同時為他的父母和我的父母施洗。
剛信主的基督徒都很火熱向人分享耶穌的福音，在今天的經文中，我們讀到在耶路撒冷第一間教會的故事，因為這些人向人分享耶穌，所以教會不斷地增長！ —DF

「許多人領受了他的信息，並接受洗禮；那一天信徒約增加了三千人。」 使徒行傳2:41

禱告：主，我要積極向人分享耶穌的福音，求祢幫助我信心不斷成長。奉耶穌的名，阿們！

Faith Journey (5)
Bible Reading: Acts 2:36-41

　When my husband and I became Christians, we were so excited to share Jesus with our family and friends! My brother and his friend came to visit us from California. We told them about Jesus. They both became Christians, found Christian women to become their wives and made their homes near us.
My parents moved close to us, too. I did not know if they would become Christians, but I prayed that God would help me tell them about Jesus. My husband's parents never went to church, but we prayed that they would also believe. When my father-in-law had a heart attack, the first thing he said after his surgery was that he wanted to become a Christian. My husband had the pleasure of baptizing both his parents and my parents.
New Christians are excited to tell others about Jesus. In our Bible verses for today, we read about the first church in Jerusalem. Because these people shared Jesus with others, the church grew and grew! —DF

“Then those who accepted what Peter said were baptized. On that day about 3000 people were added to the group of believers.” Acts 2:41

PRAYER: Lord, I am excited to tell other people about Jesus. Help my faith to continue to grow. In Jesus' name. Amen.
