聖經閱讀：希伯來書11:1-40 現代中譯本|合和本
2013年1月5日(六)
許多人稱希伯來書第11章為「信心的篇章」或「信心名人堂」。這一章列出許多舊約時代對上帝有信心的人物，同時也解釋了他們如何對上帝有信心；這些人用許多不同的方式來表達對上帝的信心。以諾讓神喜悅，挪亞尊崇上帝，而亞伯拉罕順服並且信靠上帝。以撒祝福別人，摩西的父母親保護了他，但摩西在埃及地與以色列人一同受苦。以色列人在耶利哥城遵從上帝的指示，而喇合對待以色列人如同朋友一般。基甸、巴拉、參孫、耶弗他、大衛、撒母耳，以及其他先知都做了上帝眼中看為對的事情。 你也想要成為「信心名人堂」的一員嗎？你要學像上面提到的人物，要討上帝的喜悅並且尊崇祂，要順服上帝並且信靠祂。你也要祝福並且保護其他人，你要為耶穌受苦，並且謹慎遵從上帝的指示。你要對待其他人像朋友一般，包括你的敵人，並且你要做對的事。 你一定辦得到！要對上帝有信心。—CPE* 「這些人的信心都有著很不平凡的記錄；」
希伯來書11:39a 禱告：親愛的上帝，幫助我對祢有信心。奉耶穌的名，阿們！

Many people call Hebrews 11 the “Faith Chapter” or “Faith Hall of Fame.” This chapter lists many people in the Old Testament who were faithful to God. This chapter also explains how these people were faithful to Him. They were faithful to God in many different ways. Enoch pleased God. Noah had respect for God. Abraham obeyed and trusted God. Isaac blessed others. Moses’ mother and father protected him. Moses suffered with the Israelites while they were in Egypt. The Israelites followed God’s instructions in Jericho. Rahab treated Israelites as her friends. Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel and the prophets all did what was right for God. Do you want to be part of the “Faith Hall of Fame”? Be like all the people listed above. Please and respect God. Obey and trust Him. Bless and protect others. Suffer for Jesus. Follow God’s instructions carefully. Treat others, including your enemies, as your friends. Do what is right. You can do it. Be faithful to God. —CPE* “God was pleased with all of them because of their faith.” Hebrews 11:39a
PRAYER: Dear God, help me to be faithful to You. In Jesus’ name. Amen. |
