聖經閱讀：路加福音15:11-24 現代中譯本|合和本
2013年11月20日(三)
在今天的經文中，耶穌說了一個故事，是關於一個父親，他有兩個兒子。小兒子要求父親分給他應得的產業，這個兒子就帶著錢遠離家鄉。他揮霍無度，很快就花光所有的錢，連吃的東西都沒有。這個兒子終於明白，如果能回到家裡當僕人就好了，於是他決定回家去跟父親說對不起。這個故事有一個美好的結局──父親以兒子的身分接納了這個年輕人，並且歡慶他回到家裡。 這個故事提醒我們，如果我們過著罪惡的生活，但是對我們的罪感到愧疚的話，我們可以請求上帝原諒我們，祂將會歡迎我們回轉向祂的國度──就像今天經文中的父親歡迎他的兒子一樣。 也許今天你離遠了上帝而需要請求祂的原諒，請不要等待──今天就去親近祂。 —CW* 「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。」 路加福音15:20b
禱告：天父，對於過去所做的那些不對的事，我感到抱歉，請祢原諒我。奉耶穌的名，阿們！

Bible Reading: Luke 15:11-24

In our Bible verses today, Jesus told a story about a man with two sons. The younger son asked his father for his share of the family money. The son took his money and moved far away. He spent his money foolishly. Soon the money was gone, and the young man had no food to eat. The son realized that it would be better if he went home and worked as a servant. He decided to go home and tell his father that he was sorry. The story has a good ending — the father accepted the young man as his son and they rejoiced that he had come home. This story reminds us that if we live a sinful life and are sorry for our sins, we can ask God to forgive us. He will welcome us back into His kingdom - just like the father welcomed his son in our Bible verses. Maybe you are far away from God today and need to ask Him for forgiveness. Don’t wait — come near to Him today. —CW* “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.” Luke 15:20b
PRAYER: Father, I am sorry for the wrong things I have done. Please forgive me. In Jesus’ name. Amen. |
