君王

君王
聖經閱讀：詩篇45:1-17 現代中譯本|合和本
2012年12月26日(三)

詩篇第45篇是寫給君王的，這位君王可能是所羅門王，是一位屬世的君王；然而，有些人認為這詩篇是在描寫耶穌，那位在多年後來到世上的屬天君王。 　這詩篇如何描寫這位君王呢？首先，祂為了良善和公義征戰（第4a節）；第二，祂行奇妙的事（第4b節）；第三，祂的國度永遠長存（第6a節）；最後，祂喜愛公義，憎恨罪惡（第6節）。 　第10節提到了一位女子，這也許是指教會，也就是耶穌的新婦。以弗所書5:27節說：「可以獻給自己，作個榮耀的教會，毫無玷污、皺紋等類的病，乃是聖潔沒有瑕疵的。」 　今天詩篇的最後一節說：「我必叫你的名被萬代記念，所以萬民要永永遠遠稱謝你！」的確，耶穌的名不斷地被讚美。今天，就因著祂的良善和慈愛讚美祂！—JK 「…你的寶座永遠長存；你以公道治理你的王國。你喜愛正義，憎恨邪惡；」 詩篇45:6-7a 禱告：上帝，謝謝祢賜下耶穌成為我們的君王。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (SDL譯/台南聖教會英語團契)

The King
Bible Reading: Psalm 45:1-17
Wednesday, December 26, 2012

Psalm 45 is written to a king. This king may have been Solomon. Solomon was an earthly king. However, some people think that this psalm may have been written about Jesus, who would come to earth many years later as our Heavenly King. 　What does this psalm tell us about the king? First, He fights for goodness and fairness (verse 4a). Second, He does amazing things (verse 4b). Third, His kingdom continues forever (verse 6a). And finally, He loves goodness and hates evil (verse 7). 　Verse 10 mentions a lady. This may be talking about the church, who is Jesus’ bride. Ephesians 5:27 says, “Christ died so that he could give the church to himself like a bride, full of glory (beauty).” 　The last verse of this psalm says, “I will make your name famous forever. People will praise you forever and ever!” Truly Jesus’ name continues to be praised. Praise Him today for His goodness and love! —JK “...your throne continues forever! Goodness is your royal scepter. You love goodness and you hate evil.” Psalm 45:6-7a PRAYER: God, thank You for sending Jesus to be our King. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
