今天的經文告訴我們一個父親愛兒子的奇妙故事，然而這個兒子想要拿走屬於他的那份家產並且離家，所以父親就給了他的兒子一些錢。這個兒子就「到了遙遠的地方，在那裏揮霍無度，過放蕩的生活。」（第13b節）這個兒子花光所有的錢，而且沒有東西吃，他很快就明白過去的愚蠢，所以就決定回家。他希望父親願意給他一份僕人的工作。 這個父親那時正等候著兒子，「他離家還遠，父親望見了他，就充滿愛憐，奔向前去，緊抱著他，不停地親吻」(第20b節)。這個父親送給兒子新衣新鞋，並且開派對來慶祝兒子的歸來。 為什麼這個父親要做這些事呢？因為他愛他的兒子。上帝希望我們向家人表達愛，今天你能做什麼來向家人表達你的愛呢？ —JK 「『因為我這個兒子是死而復活、失而復得的。』於是大家歡宴起來。」 路加福音15:24
禱告：上帝，謝謝祢賜給我家人，今天我會對他們表達我的愛。奉耶穌的名，阿們！

Love for Family
Bible Reading: Luke 15:11-24

Our Bible Reading today tells us a wonderful story about a father who loved his son. But the son wanted to take his share of the family wealth and go away. So the father gave his son some money. The son “traveled far away to another country, and there he wasted his money living like a fool” (verse 13b). The son spent all his money and had nothing to eat. Soon he realized that he had been foolish, so he decided to go home. He hoped his father would give him a job as a servant. The father was watching for the son. “While the son was still a long way off, his father saw him coming and felt sorry for him. So he ran to him and hugged and kissed him” (verse 20b). The father gave his son new clothes and shoes and celebrated his return with a party. Why did the father do all this? Because he loved his son. God wants us to show love for our family members. What can you do today to show your love to your family? —JK “My son was dead, but now he is alive again! He was lost, but now he is found! So they began to have a party.” Luke 15:24
PRAYER: God, thank You for my family. I will show them my love today. In Jesus’ name. Amen. |
