2014年6月1日(日)

在今天的經文中，我們得知保羅在特羅亞行的一個神蹟。特羅亞是位於亞洲的一個城市。 　在某一個主日，保羅跟一些基督徒一起聚會，他們領用聖餐，而保羅向他們講道，「因為他第二天就要動身，所以一直講下去，到了半夜」。會眾當中有一個叫猶推古的年輕人，猶推古坐在窗口，「他漸漸困倦，終於沉沉入睡，從三層樓上掉了下去。大家扶他起來，發現他已經死了」（第9b節）。 　保羅讓猶推古復活，「他們把那年輕人活活的送回家，大家都大受安慰」（第12節）。上帝與保羅同在並賜給他行神蹟的能力。有很多到各處傳揚上帝話語的人都能夠行神蹟，這些神蹟幫助人們認識上帝的信息是真實的。 　今天就謝謝上帝賜下祂的大能！ —JK 「使徒們行了許多神蹟奇事；人人都因此起了敬畏的心。」 使徒行傳2:43 禱告：上帝，謝謝祢是這麼的滿有能力。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (尤榮輝譯)

Cities in Acts (6)
Bible Reading: Acts 20:7-12
Sunday, June 1, 2014

In our Bible verses today, we learn about a miracle that Paul performed in the city of Troas. Troas was a city in Asia. 　On a Sunday, Paul met together with some Christians. They ate the Lord’s Supper, and Paul preached to them. “Because he was planning to leave the next day, he continued talking until midnight” (verse 7b). There was a young man named Eutychus in the group. Eutychus was sitting in the window, and “he went to sleep and fell out of the window. He fell to the ground from the third floor. When the people went down and lifted him up, he was dead” (verse 9b). 　Paul made Eutychus alive again. “The Lord’s followers took Eutychus home alive, and they were all greatly comforted” (verse 12). God was with Paul and gave Him the power to perform miracles. Many of the people who traveled and spread God’s Word were able to do miracles. These miracles helped the people know that God’s message was true. 　Thank God for His great power today! —JK “Many wonders and miraculous signs were happening through the apostles, and everyone felt great respect for God.” Acts 2:43 PRAYER: God, thank You for being so powerful. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
