尊崇耶穌

尊崇耶穌

想像今天是你的生日，很多人被邀請來參加你的派對，擺飾已佈置妥當，餐點也準備好了。那些人來參加你的生日派對，但卻沒有一個人關注你。這是很奇怪的事情！ 　這就是耶穌來到世上發生的狀況。今天經文的10b-11節說：「上帝藉著他創造世界，而世人竟不認識他。他來到自己的地方，自己的人卻不接受他。」想到耶穌創造了這個世界卻被祂自己的子民拒絕，真是悲哀。 　也許有一些人嫉妒耶穌，或許他們就是不願意接受祂是上帝的兒子，但耶穌配得我們的尊崇和順服，祂就是愛我們、為我們受死的那一位。 　你認為耶穌是誰呢？祂是否只是另外一個好人？或者耶穌是上帝唯一真正的兒子？－SH* 「耶穌一受了洗，從水裏出來，天為他開了；他看見上帝的靈好像鴿子降下來，落在他身上。接著，從天上有聲音說：『這是我親愛的兒子，我喜愛他。』」 馬太福音3:16-17 禱告：上帝，請幫助我尊崇並順服耶穌。奉主的名，阿們！ (尤榮輝譯)

Honor Jesus
Bible Reading: John 1:10-14
Thursday, February 27, 2014

Imagine that it is your birthday. Many people are invited to your party. Decorations are hung and food is prepared. The people come to your birthday party, but no one pays attention to you. That would be very strange! 　That’s exactly what happened when Jesus came to live on earth. Verses 10b-11a of our Bible Reading say, “The world was made through him, but the world did not know him. He came to the world that was his own. And his own people did not accept him.” It is sad to think that Jesus, who made the world, was rejected by His own people. 　Maybe some people were jealous of Jesus. Or maybe they just didn’t want to accept Him as God’s Son. Jesus deserves our honor and obedience. He is the One who loves us and died for us. 　What do you think about Jesus? Is He just another good man? Or is Jesus the only true Son of God? —SH* “So Jesus was baptized. As soon as he came up out of the water, the sky opened, and he saw God’s Spirit coming down on him like a dove. A voice from heaven said, ‘This is my Son, the one I love. I am very pleased with him.’” Matthew 3:16-17 PRAYER: God, help me to honor and obey Jesus. In His name. Amen.
