親近耶穌

親近耶穌
聖經閱讀：路加福音8:43-48 現代中譯本|合和本
2013年10月13日(日)

在現今的世界，我們會賦予某些事物價值。身為基督徒，是什麼賦予我們價值呢？是我們委身的教會使我們重要嗎？還是我們奉獻給別人的金錢使我們重要呢？我們身為基督徒的價值應該是以我們跟上帝的關係為基礎。 　今天的經文告訴我們一個婦人的故事，這個婦人患血崩已經12年了，從來沒有醫生能夠幫助她。這個婦人大概不是什麼有錢或有勢的人，她只不過是群眾裡的其中一人，但是她卻願意靠近耶穌，觸摸祂的外衣，然後就得到了醫治。 　對這個婦人來說，要靠近耶穌也許並不容易，因為人潮十分擁擠，但是她相信耶穌，並且願意竭盡所能來碰觸祂。 　我們必須像這個婦人一樣，我們應該願意竭盡所能來親近耶穌。今天，就來親近祂吧！—BL 「耶穌對她說：『孩子，你的信心救了你！平安地回去吧。』」 路加福音8:48 禱告：上帝，我願親近耶穌，並且永遠服事祂。奉主的名，阿們！ (林煜茹譯)

Near to Jesus
Bible Reading: Luke 8:43-48
Sunday, October 13, 2013

In our world today, we give value to certain things. As Christians, what gives us value? Are we important because of the church we attend? Are we important because of the money we give to others? Our value as a Christian should be based on our relationship with God. 　Our Bible verses tell us about a woman who had been bleeding for twelve years. No doctors had been able to help her. This woman was probably not powerful or rich. She was just a person in the crowd. But she was willing to come near to Jesus. She touched his coat, and she was healed. 　It was probably not easy for that woman to get close to Jesus. There were many people in the crowd.?But she believed in Jesus and was willing to do whatever she had to do to reach Him. 　We need to be like that woman. We should be willing to do whatever we have to do so we can be close to Jesus. Come near to Him today! — BL “Jesus said to her, ‘My daughter, you are made well because you believed. Go in peace.’”?Luke 8:48 PRAYER: God, I want to be close to Jesus and serve Him always. In His name. Amen.
