聖經閱讀：哥林多後書5:11-21 現代中譯本|合和本
2013年12月30日(一)
再過兩天就是2014年了，對新的一年，你有什麼計劃嗎？也許你正計劃買新衣服，或許你會交到新朋友，或者到從來沒去過的地方旅行。新年是作為一個全新開始的好時機，如果你還沒有信主，一個全新的開始可能意味著你決定要跟隨耶穌。今天的經文談到跟隨耶穌，第17節說：「無論誰，一旦有了基督的生命就是新造的人；舊的已經過去，新的已經來臨。」也許2014年就是你願意將生命獻給耶穌的一年。 如果你已經信主，今天是你思考2013年的好時機。想一想在這一年你所做的錯事，求上帝赦免你，並幫助你在2014年改善。 就讓2014年成為你天天愛上帝、天天服事祂的一年！ —IMJ 「他為眾人死，為要使那些活著的人不再為自己活，而是為那位替他們死而復活的基督活。」 哥林多後書5:15
禱告：親愛的上帝，謝謝祢賜下新的一年來服事祢。奉耶穌的名，阿們！

A New Start
Bible Reading: 2 Corinthians 5:11-21
Monday, December 30, 2013

In two days, it will be 2014. What plans do you have for the new year? Maybe you are planning on buying new clothes. Or maybe you will make new friends or travel to new places. The new year is a good time for a new start. If you are not a Christian, a new start may mean that you decide to follow Jesus. Our Bible Reading talks about following Jesus. Verse 17 says, “When anyone is in Christ, it is a whole new world. The old things are gone; suddenly, everything is new!” Maybe 2014 is the year when you will give your life to Jesus. If you are already a Christian, today is a good time for you to think about 2013. Think about things you did wrong this year. Ask God to forgive you and help you improve in 2014. Make 2014 a year when you will love God and serve Him every day! —IMJ “He [Jesus] died for all so that those who live would not continue to live for themselves. He died for them and was raised from death so that they would live for him.” 2 Corinthians 5:15
PRAYER: Dear God, thank You for a new year to serve You. In Jesus’ name. Amen. |
