聖經閱讀：希伯來書6:16-19a 現代中譯本|合和本
2013年6月20日(四)
最近我讀到一則消息，說有一艘油輪棄錨後開始在海上漂流。這艘船最後被停下來而且被固定好；如果這艘船沒被停下來，可能就演變成一個危險的情況。船具備船錨是重要的，這樣它們才不會漂走；同樣的，基督徒擁有「生命之錨」也是重要的。這些「生命之錨」就是幫助我們與上帝保持親近的事物。 今天的聖經閱讀告訴我們上帝不會說謊，如果上帝不會說謊，這表示所有祂的應許都會成真。上帝已經應許我們藉著耶穌賜下救恩和永生，這讓我們感到安全可靠。上帝信守祂的應許，這個事實就是一個「生命之錨」，幫助我們親近祂。 接下來的幾天，我們將會學到更多關於「盼望」的事。但是當你今天面對困難和試探時，就想一想那些藉著耶穌而擁有的盼望、想一想與上帝永遠同住，然後因著上帝永達信守祂的應許而讚美上帝。—JK 「我們有這盼望，正像生命之錨，又安全又可靠」 希伯來書6:19a
禱告：上帝謝謝祢永遠信守祢的應許。奉耶穌的名，阿們！

Hope Like an Anchor
Bible Reading: Hebrews 6:16-19a

Recently I read that an oil company ship slipped its anchor and started drifting in the ocean. The ship was finally stopped and anchored. But if the ship had not been stopped, it could have become a dangerous situation. It is important that ships have anchors so they do not drift away. In the same way, it is important that Christians have “anchors,” too. These “anchors” are things that help us stay close to God. Our Bible Reading today tells us that God cannot lie. If God cannot lie, that means all of His promises will come true. God has promised us salvation and eternal life through Jesus. This makes us feel safe and secure. The fact that God keeps His promises is an “anchor” that helps us stay close to Him. During the next few days, we will learn more about “hope.” But as you face problems and trials today, think about the hope that you have through Jesus. Think about living forever with God. Then praise God for always keeping His promises. —JK “This hope is like an anchor for us. It is strong and sure and keeps us safe.” Hebrews 6:19a
PRAYER: God, thank You for always keeping Your promises. In Jesus’ name. Amen. |
