聖經閱讀：使徒行傳 2:5-11 現代中譯本|合和本
2014年5月18日(日)

在美國，當我們吃東西時，我們使用叉子、刀子，以及湯匙。世界各地的人們都有不同的用餐習慣。 　在菲律賓，人們用手或用一支大湯匙來吃飯。在香港、日本，和其他許多亞洲國家，人們用筷子吃東西。在一些國家，人們拿刀叉的方式跟我們美國人不一樣。有些人任何時候都會一直把刀子拿在手裡，有些地方像是烏干達、厄利垂亞，和迦納，那裡的人用手指頭抓東西吃，他們把麵包或是肉當作湯匙來使用。 　吃東西有很多不同的方法，但每一個人都同樣需要吃東西。同理，所有的人都需要上帝的靈糧，而這些靈糧來自上帝的話語，也就是聖經。 　今天的經文談到來自許多不同國家的人，使徒們向這些人宣講耶穌。去向其他人傳講耶穌也是我們的任務。 —DK/VLD 「所以，你們要去，使萬國萬民都作我的門徒。」 馬太福音28:19a 禱告：親愛的上帝，求祢幫助我去向人分享祢的話語。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (李信儀譯)

Bible Reading: Acts 2:5-11
Sunday, May 18, 2014

In the United States, we use a fork, a knife and a spoon when we eat. People all over the world have different customs for the way they eat. 　In the Philippines, they eat rice with their hands or a big spoon. In Hong Kong, Japan and many other Asian countries, people eat with chopsticks. In some countries, people hold their knife and fork differently than we do in the United States. Some people keep their knife in their hand at all times. In places like Uganda, Eritrea and Ghana, people eat with their fingers. They use bread or meat as their spoon. 　There are different ways to eat, but all people need to eat food. In the same way, all people need God’s spiritual food. This food comes from God’s Word, the Bible. 　Our Bible Reading today talks about people from many different countries. The apostles taught these people about Jesus. It is our job to teach other people about Jesus, too. —DK/VLD “So go and make followers of all people in the world.” Matthew 28:19a PRAYER: Dear God, help me to share Your Word with other people. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
