永遠以愛待人

永遠以愛待人
聖經閱讀：雅各書2:1-9 現代中譯本|合和本
2013年9月15日(日)

今天經文的第8節說：「你們若遵從聖經上所記載『愛人如己』那新國度的法則，那就對了。」 　我們每一天所做的每一件事都應該是「愛上帝」和「愛人」的事。當我們選擇去做一些事來表達我們的愛時，就永遠可以知道，我們做了對的選擇。 　去愛某一些人並不難。如果對方讓我們感到舒服，或者我們喜歡他們的外表，那麼愛他們是容易的。但是，如果對方奇裝異服、身上有怪味道，或是做一些奇怪的事情，那麼要我們去愛這個人有時就有困難了。上面提到的這些外在的事都無關緊要，上帝希望我們去愛所有的人。 　今天當你遇見人的時候，不必擔心他們的穿著，也不必擔心他們是貧窮或富有，只要去愛他們，並讓他們認識上帝。—GT 「不可報仇；也不可埋怨本國的同胞。要愛自己的鄰人，像愛自己一樣。」 利未記19:18a 禱告：親愛的上帝，謝謝祢以慈愛待我，我願永遠以愛待人。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (尤榮輝譯)

Always Show Love
Bible Reading: James 2:1-9
Sunday, September 15, 2013

Verse 8 of our Bible Reading today says, “One law rules over all other laws. This royal law is found in the Scriptures: ‘Love your neighbor the same as you love yourself.’ If you obey this law, you are doing right.” 　Everything we do each day should show our love for God and for other people. When we choose to do things that show our love, we can always know that we have made the right choice. 　It is easy to love some people. If we feel comfortable with them or we like the way they look, it is easy to love them. But if a person dresses differently, smells strange or does weird things, it is sometimes hard for us to love that person. None of those things should matter. God wants us to love all people. 　When you meet people today, don’t worry about the clothes they wear or if they are rich or poor. Just love them and teach them about God. —GT “Forget about the wrong things people do to you. Don’t try to get even. Love your neighbor as yourself.” Leviticus 19:18a PRAYER: Dear God, thank You for showing me Your love. I want to always show love to other people. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
