成為宣教士

成為宣教士
聖經閱讀：使徒行傳11:19-24 現代中譯本|合和本
2014年6月21日(六)

我的孫子是一名宣教士，他想要向人傳講耶穌，所以他就去了肯亞。之後我孫子聽到利比亞人需要認識耶穌，所以他就去到那裏。現在他在利比亞幫忙建立一間教會。 　在耶穌升天之前，祂吩咐門徒去世界各地傳講上帝救恩計畫的福音。今天的經文告訴我們，有些耶穌的門徒遭受迫害，所以他們就搬到其他地方，然後這些門徒就成為新城市的宣教士。 　在耶路撒冷的教會聽到在安提阿有新的信徒時，他們就差派巴拿巴去幫助他們。巴拿巴勸勉那裡的人，「要大家專心一意地信靠主」（第23b節）。 　我的孫子和巴拿巴去不同的地方向人傳講耶穌，你也可以成為一名宣教士──就在你所住的地方。今天就去向人傳講耶穌吧！ －DJH* 「傳福音的人，他們的腳蹤多麼佳美！」 羅馬書10:15b 禱告：天父，求祢幫助我今天去向人傳講耶穌。奉主的名，阿們！ (陳萍萍譯)

Be a Missionary
Bible Reading: Acts 11:19-24
Saturday, June 21, 2014

My grandson is a missionary. He wanted to tell people about Jesus, so he went to Kenya. Then my grandson heard that people in Liberia needed to know about Jesus, so he went there. He is now helping start a church in Liberia. 　Before Jesus went back to heaven, He told His followers to go everywhere in the world and tell them the Good News about God’s plan of salvation. Our Bible Reading today tells us that some of Jesus’ followers were being persecuted. So they moved to other places. Then these followers became missionaries in new cities. 　When the church in Jerusalem heard that there were new believers in Antioch, they sent Barnabas to help them. Barnabas encouraged the people by saying, “Always be faithful to the Lord. Serve him with all your heart” (verse 23b). 　My grandson and Barnabas went to different places to tell people about Jesus. You can be a missionary, too — right where you live. Tell someone about Jesus today! —DJH* “How wonderful it is to see someone coming to tell good news!” Romans 10:15b PRAYER: Father, help me to tell someone about Jesus today. In His name. Amen.
