耶穌是光

耶穌是光

最近我買了一些燈泡，包裝盒上說，這些燈泡可使用一年。我很興奮地認為，製造這些燈泡的公司保證它們有一年的壽命。於是，我把這些燈泡裝在門廊的吊燈上。 　每一次開門廊燈，我就會想，這些燈泡還有幾天的壽命？幾個月後，我開燈，燈竟然不亮了。顯然，這個製造商並沒有信守承諾。 　今天的經文告訴我們，耶穌跟我的燈泡不一樣，祂說祂是世界的光。耶穌的光現在就發亮，並且會持續不斷到永恆。選擇跟從耶穌的人「會得著生命的光，絕不會在黑暗裏走」（第12b節）。 　你願意讓耶穌的光照亮你生命的每一個地方嗎？就求告耶穌帶領你，並且保守你每天都行在祂的光中。 —CN 「這城不需要太陽或月亮的光；因為有上帝的榮光照耀著，而羔羊就是這城的燈。」 啟示錄21:23 禱告：主，懇求祢的光充滿我，並幫助我向其他人傳揚?的愛。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (李信儀譯)

Jesus, the Light
Bible Reading: John 8:12-20
Friday, April 11, 2014

Recently I bought some light bulbs. The box said that the bulbs would last a year. I was excited to think that the company who made the bulbs promised they would last a year. I put the bulbs into a hanging lamp on my porch. 　Every time I turned on the porch lamp, I thought about how many more days the bulbs would last. A couple of months later, I turned on the lamp. There was no light. The manufacturer had not kept his promise. 　Our Bible verses today tell us that Jesus is different than my light bulbs. He said that He is the light of the world. Jesus is shining now and will continue for all eternity. People who choose to follow Jesus “will never live in darkness. They will have the light that gives life” (verse 12b). 　Do you let Jesus’ light shine in all areas of your life? Ask Him to lead you and keep you in His light every day. —CN “The city did not need the sun or the moon to shine on it. The glory of God gave the city light. The Lamb [Jesus] was the city’s lamp.” Revelation 21:23 PRAYER: Lord, fill me with Your light and help me to share Your love with others. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
