聖經閱讀：詩篇103:1-22 現代中譯本|合和本
2012年12月25日(二)
今天就是聖誕節了，我們要來談談上帝在聖誕節的感受。想像你將一切所有──你的財產、你的愛，和你的時間──都給了某個人，然後想像這個人回過頭來嘲笑你、傷害你，你會有什麼感受呢？你也許會感到悲傷、痛心、生氣，或失望。 當耶穌誕生在伯利恆時，上帝就賜下了祂所有的一切，祂也賜下了祂最珍貴的禮物──耶穌。上帝賜下祂的獨生子，但有些人卻不接受耶穌，這些人拒絕了上帝奇妙的禮物，我確定這會讓上帝感到悲傷。 但是，當人們接受耶穌並且跟隨祂時，上帝會很高興。今天經文的第17節提醒我們「…上主永遠愛惜敬畏他的人；他的公義持續到萬代」。 今年的聖誕節，上帝就要賜給你一份奇妙的禮物，你要接受這份救恩的禮物並且跟隨祂。 —GT 「天離地多高，對敬畏他的人，他的慈愛也同樣宏大。東離西多遠，他使我們的罪離開我們也那麼遠。」 詩篇103:11-12
禱告：天父，我接受祢藉著耶穌所賜下的奇妙救恩禮物。奉耶穌的名，阿們！

Christmas Emotions (10)
Bible Reading: Psalm 103:1-22

Today is Christmas Day, and we will talk about how God must feel at Christmas. Imagine that you gave everything you had — your possessions, your love and your time — to someone. Then imagine that this person laughed at you and was mean to you. How would you feel? Probably you would feel sad, hurt, angry or disappointed. When Jesus was born in Bethlehem, God gave everything He had. He gave the most valuable gift He had — Jesus. God gave His Son, but some people do not accept Jesus. These people reject God’s wonderful gift. I am sure that must make God feel sad. But God is happy when people accept Jesus and follow Him. Verse 17a of our Bible Reading reminds us that “...the Lord has always loved his followers. And he will continue to love his followers forever and ever!” God is giving you a wonderful gift this Christmas. Accept His gift of salvation and follow Him. —GT “God’s love for his followers is as high above us as heaven is above the earth. And God has taken our sins as far away from us as the east is from the west.” Psalm 103:11-12
PRAYER: Father, I accept Your amazing gift of salvation through Jesus. In Jesus’ name. Amen. |
