工具 (6)
聖經閱讀：約翰福音14:1-14 現代中譯本|合和本

我們談論「工具」已經好幾天了，今天我們就來談一種當你開門或發動車子時會用到的工具，這是什麼工具呢？是一把鑰匙！　 　大多數人會有許多把鑰匙，但是只有其中一把能打開你的家門或發動你的車子。成為上帝的兒女就像是一把鑰匙，而只有一種方法能讓我們和上帝有正確的關係並得到祂永生的禮物。 　今天閱讀的經文中，耶穌告訴祂的門徒說：「我就是道路、真理、生命；要不是藉著我，沒有人能到父親那裏去。」(第6節) 祭拜假神或金偶像並不能讓我們得救，我們得救的唯一方法就是要遵循並且順服上帝的話語──聖經。聖經告訴我們必須改變生命、承認耶穌是我們的救主、受洗、並且每天為祂而活。 　今天就把你所有的鑰匙拿給一位朋友看，然後跟他談一談那把能通往上帝和永恆生命的唯一「鑰匙」。—GT 耶穌說：「你們既然認識我，也會認識我父親的。從此你們認識他，而且已經看見他了。」 約翰福音14:7 禱告：天父，我願告訴我的家人和朋友如何得到與祢同在的永生。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (SDL譯/台南聖教會英語團契)

Bible Reading: John 14:1-14
Thursday, March 7, 2013

For the past few days we have talked about tools. Today we are going to talk about the tool you use to open the door of your house or start your car. What is that tool? A key! 　Most people have many keys. But only one key will open your house door or start your car. Becoming God’s child is like a key. There is only one way to have the right relationship with God and receive His gift of eternal life. 　In our Bible Reading today, Jesus told His disciples, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. The only way to the Father is through me” (verse 6b). We can’t worship a false god or a golden statue to be saved. The only way is to follow and obey God’s Word, the Bible. The Bible shows us that we need to change our lives, confess Jesus as our Savior, be baptized and continue to live for Him every day. 　Show someone your keys today. Then talk to them about the only “key” to God and eternal life. —GT [Jesus said,] “If you really knew me, you would know my Father too. But now you know the Father. You have seen him.” John 14:7 PRAYER: Heavenly Father, I want to show my family and friends how they can have life forever with You. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
