聖經閱讀：路加福音19:1-10 現代中譯本|合和本
2013年7月26日(五)
耶穌經常對一大群人說話，但也有時候，耶穌只服事一個人。今天閱讀的經文告訴我們一個故事，是關於一個人當他遇見耶穌時生命被改變了。撒該是一名稅務長，大部份的稅務長都不誠實，他們會竊取百姓的錢，所以大多數的猶太人大概都不喜歡撒該。但這對耶穌來說並不重要，因為耶穌愛他！ 今天的經文告訴我們，撒該是個矮子。也許因為他長得矮，所以人們就取笑他，或忽視他。但這對耶穌來說並不重要，耶穌仍然花時間陪他並和他說話。 有時候我們或許會認為，我們對上帝來說並不重要。上帝如何能夠關注世上的所有人是難以理解的，但詩篇139:3b說，上帝知道我們所做的每一件事情。 今天要記得上帝愛你，並記得你對上帝來說是重要的。 －NW (耶穌說)「因為這個人同樣是亞伯拉罕的子孫。人子來是要尋找和拯救迷失的人。」 路加福音19:9b-10
禱告：天父，謝謝祢愛我並了解我的一切。奉耶穌的名，阿們！

You Are Important
Bible Reading: Luke 19:1-10

Jesus often spoke to large groups of people. But sometimes Jesus ministered to just one person. Our Bible Reading today tells us about a man whose life was changed when he met Jesus. Zacchaeus was a tax collector. Most tax collectors were dishonest and stole money from the people. So probably most Jews did not like Zacchaeus. But that didn’t matter to Jesus. Jesus loved him! Our Bible Reading tells us that Zacchaeus was a short man. Perhaps people made fun of him or ignored him because he was short. But that didn’t matter to Jesus. Jesus took time to be with Zacchaeus and talk with him. Sometimes we may think that we are not important to God. It is hard to understand how God can pay attention to all the people in the world. But Psalm 139:3b says that God knows everything we do! Remember today that God loves you and that you are important to Him! —NW [Jesus said], “Yes, even this tax collector is one of God’s chosen people. The Son of Man came to find lost people and save them.” Luke 19:9b-10
PRAYER: Heavenly Father, thank You for loving me and knowing all about me. In Jesus’ name. Amen. |
