當耶穌住在世上的時候，祂同等對待男人和女人，耶穌相信男人和女人都是重要而且寶貴的人。 　在新約聖經中，我們可以讀到耶穌醫治女人、跟她們交談、跟她們一起用餐，並且跟她們團契交流的故事。今天的經文告訴我們，最先得知耶穌復活的人是女人。 　第5-6a節說：「那天使向婦女們說：『不要害怕，我知道你們要找那被釘十字架的耶穌。他不在這裏，照他所說的，他已經復活了。』」在第7節，天使吩咐那個女人去告訴其他人耶穌已經復活。天使將傳揚耶穌復活消息的重責大任交託給那個女人。 　上帝的救贖計畫是同時為男人和女人準備的，祂可以使用所有人去傳揚耶穌的福音。 —GT 「於是上帝照自己的形像創造了人。他造了他們，有男，有女。」 創世記1:27 禱告：上帝，謝謝你創造了我，求祢幫助我更像祢。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (王亭惠譯)

Bible Reading: Matthew 28:5-7
Friday, April 4, 2014

When Jesus lived on earth, He treated men and women the same. Jesus believed that both men and women were important and valuable people. 　In the New Testament, we can read that Jesus healed women, had conversations with them, ate with them and fellowshiped with them. Our Bible Reading today tells us that women were the first people to learn about Jesus’ resurrection. 　Verses 5-6a say, “The angel said to the women, ‘Don’t be afraid. I know you are looking for Jesus, the one who was killed on the cross. But he is not here. He has risen from death, as he said he would.’” In verse 7, the angel told the women to tell other people that Jesus had risen. The angel gave the women the important responsibility of sharing the news about Jesus’ resurrection. 　God’s plan of salvation is for both men and woman. And He can use all people to spread the Good News about Jesus. —GT “So God created humans in his own image. He created them to be like himself. He created them male and female.” Genesis 1:27 PRAYER: God, thank You for making me. Help me to become more like You. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
