聖經閱讀：啟示錄1:9-19 現代中譯本|合和本
2014年2月2日(日)

約翰是雅各的弟弟，當耶穌死去時，約翰就在十字架旁。耶穌吩咐約翰要照顧祂的母親馬利亞。之後，約翰向猶太人佈道、傳講耶穌的福音，他也寫了新約聖經中的五卷書。 　約翰後來被放逐到拔摩島，為什麼呢？因為他傳講耶穌的福音。當約翰在島上時，上帝賜給他一個特別的信息來分享給世人，這個信息就寫在啟示錄這卷書裡。 　上帝告訴約翰天堂會是什麼樣子，以及什麼人才可以跟祂永遠同住。能知道更多天堂的事情，約翰一定興奮不已。今天的經文告訴我們一些約翰看見的事。 　知道耶穌有一天會再來，並接祂的信徒去跟祂同住，我們應該因此感到興奮。上帝已經為對祂忠心的基督徒預備了奇妙的事情！你務必要持續不斷地跟隨上帝，並且每天順服祂。 －DF 「為這一切事作證的那一位說：『是的，我快要來了！』阿們。主耶穌啊，請來吧！」 啟示錄22:20 禱告：上帝，我很高興知道耶穌將會再來。謝謝祢藉著耶穌賜下救恩。奉主的名，阿們！ (尤榮輝譯)

John
Bible Reading: Revelation 1:9-19
Sunday, February 2, 2014

John was the brother of James. John was at the cross when Jesus died. Jesus told John to take care of His mother, Mary. Later John preached to the Jews about Jesus. He also wrote five books in the New Testament. 　John was sent away to the island of Patmos. Why? Because he was preaching about Jesus. While John was on the island, God gave him a special message to share. This message is written in the book of Revelation. 　God told John what heaven will be like and who will be able to live with Him forever. John must have been excited to learn more about heaven. Our Bible verses today tell us some of the things that John saw. 　We should be excited that Jesus will come back someday and take His followers to live with Him. God has wonderful things prepared for Christians who are faithful to Him! Be sure that you continue to follow and obey God every day. —DF “Jesus is the one who says that all of this is true. Now he says, ‘Yes, I am coming soon.’ Amen! Come, Lord Jesus!” Revelation 22:20 PRAYER: God, I am happy to know that Jesus will come again. Thank You for salvation through Him. In His name. Amen.
