像耶穌一樣愛人

像耶穌一樣愛人
聖經閱讀：馬太福音9:35-38 現代中譯本|合和本
2013年9月17日(二)

今天經文的第36節說：「當他看見一群群的人，動了惻隱之心；因為他們孤苦無助，像沒有牧人的羊群一般。」這一個經節是在描述那些沒有跟隨耶穌的人。 　沒有跟隨耶穌的人也許會感到迷失、孤單、緊張、害怕，和不安。他們並不知道要往哪裡去，而且他們也幫不了自己。 　耶穌也愛這些人，而且祂也希望我們用祂的愛去愛他們。我們可以有很多方式來向人表達我們的愛：我們可以擁抱他們、花時間陪他們，可以幫助他們、鼓勵他們，也可以安慰他們、為他們代禱。而最重要的是，我們可以向他們傳講耶穌和祂的救贖計畫。 　今天你將會有機會去愛那些還不認識耶穌的人，當你愛他們時，你就是在帶領迷失的羊回到好牧者──耶穌──的身邊。 —GT 「耶穌一登岸，看見這一大群人，動了惻隱的心，因為他們好像沒有牧人的羊群。」 馬可福音6:34a 禱告：天父，請讓我知道如何能像祢愛人的方式去愛人。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (尤榮輝譯)

Love Like Jesus
Bible Reading: Matthew 9:35-38
Tuesday, September 17, 2013

Verse 36 of today’s Bible Reading says, “Jesus saw the many people and felt sorry for them because they were worried and helpless — like sheep without a shepherd to lead them.” This verse describes people who do not follow Jesus. 　People who do not follow Jesus may feel lost, alone, nervous, afraid and uncomfortable. They don’t know where they are going, and they can’t help themselves. 　Jesus loves these people, too. And He wants us to show them His love. There are many ways we can show people that we love them. We can hug them. We can spend time with them. We can help and encourage them. We can comfort them and pray for them. Most importantly, we can tell them about Jesus and His plan of salvation. 　You will have opportunities today to show love to people who don’t know Jesus. When you love them, you are guiding lost sheep back to Jesus, the Good Shepherd. —GT “As Jesus stepped out of the boat, he saw a large crowd waiting. He felt sorry for them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd to care for them.” Mark 6:34a PRAYER: Father, show me how I can love people the way You do. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
