聖經閱讀：提摩太後書2:14-15 現代中譯本|合和本
2013年12月12日(四)
每次的聖誕節，我都對許多基督徒不知道耶穌誕生的真實情形感到驚訝。如果我們想跟人分享耶穌降生到世上的故事，就必須確定我們知道的是正確的。很多人都會談到那三個來敬拜耶穌的博士。馬太福音2:11提到他們送禮物，但是我們並不知道有幾個博士，有可能是2個，也有可能是15個！聖經並沒有告訴我們有多少人。 此外，有些人說，是一顆星帶領牧羊人在伯利恆找到嬰孩耶穌，而馬太福音2:2說，是那些博士跟隨一顆星。牧羊人並沒有跟著一顆星，而是一個天使告訴他們去哪裡可找到耶穌。 經文的第15節提醒我們總是要「按著正意講解真理的話。」在這個聖誕季節裡，就花一些時間仔細閱讀馬太福音1:18-2:23和路加福音2:21裡面關於耶穌誕生的經節，並且查考聖經所說的事情，然後去跟每一個你遇到的人分享關於耶穌的真實信息！ —JK 「你當竭力在 神面前作一個經得起考驗、無愧的工人。」 提摩太後書2:15a
禱告：天父，我很興奮能在這個聖誕季節裡向人傳講耶穌。奉主的名，阿們！

Know the Bible
Bible Reading: 2 Timothy 2:14-15

Every Christmas I am surprised at how many Christians do not know the facts about Jesus’ birth. If we want to share the story about Jesus coming to earth, we need to be sure that we are accurate. Many people talk about the three wise men who came to worship Jesus. Matthew 2:11 mentions that they gave gifts, but we don’t know how many wise men there were. There might have been two wise men or fifteen! The Bible does not tell us how many. Also, some people say that a star led the shepherds to find baby Jesus in Bethlehem. Matthew 2:2 says that the wise men followed a star. The shepherds did not follow a star. An angel told them where to find Jesus. Verse 15 of our Bible Reading reminds us to always apply “the true teaching in the right way.” Take time this Christmas season to carefully read through the Bible verses about Jesus’ birth in Matthew 1:18-2:23 and Luke 2:1-21 and study what the Bible says. Then share the true message about Jesus with everyone you meet! —JK “Do your best to be the kind of person God will accept.” 2 Timothy 2:15a
PRAYER: Father, I am excited to tell others about Jesus this Christmas season. In His name. Amen. |
