耶穌長大成人

耶穌長大成人
聖經閱讀：路加福音2:51-52 現代中譯本|合和本
2014年1月28日(二)

人們都喜歡看孩子的相片，我們在相簿裡放滿了孩子跟孫子的相片。當我們看這些相片時，就可以看見孩子是如何從小嬰孩長大成人。 　聖經並沒有告訴我們太多耶穌小時候的事情，但是今天的經文給了我們一些關於耶穌的重要訊息。首先，我們知道耶穌順服他的父母：「耶穌和他們回拿撒勒去，事事都順從他們」(第51節)。 　其次，我們知道耶穌身體上的成長，經文的第52節說祂長得更高了。第三，我們知道耶穌「深得上帝和人的喜愛」(第52b節)。 　我們必須學像耶穌，我們應該要順服，並且應該活出蒙上帝喜悅的生命。今天就研讀上帝的話語，然後你就會做出正確的選擇，並成為上帝真正的僕人。 －PD* 「我為你們禱告的是：你們的愛心會不斷地跟真知識和判斷力一齊增進……你們的生活會充滿著憑藉耶穌基督才能有的仁義果子，來榮耀讚美上帝。」 腓立比書1:9-11 禱告：天父，謝謝祢為我賜下耶穌和祂的榜樣。奉主的名，阿們！ (陳萍萍譯)

Jesus Grew Up
Bible Reading: Luke 2:51-52
Tuesday, January 28, 2014

People enjoy looking at pictures of children. We fill photo albums with pictures of our children and grandchildren. As we look at the pictures, we can see how children grow from tiny babies into adults. 　The Bible does not tell us much about Jesus as a child, but our Bible verses today give us some important information about Jesus. First, we learn that Jesus obeyed His parents. “Jesus went with them to Nazareth and obeyed them” (verse 51b). 　Second, we learn that Jesus grew physically. Verse 52 says that He grew taller. And third, we learn that “God was pleased with him and so were the people who knew him” (verse 52b). 　We need to be like Jesus. We should be obedient, and we should live so that God is pleased with us. Read and study God’s Word today. Then you will make right choices and be a true servant for God. —PD “This is my prayer for you: that your love will grow more and more...that your life will be full of the many good works that are produced by Jesus Christ to bring glory and praise to God.” Philippians 1:9-11 PRAYER: Father, thank You for Jesus and His example for me. In His name. Amen.
