聖經閱讀：希伯來書13:1-9 現代中譯本|合和本
2014年6月28日(六)

在今天的經文中，作者列舉了蒙上帝喜悅的事情──彼此相愛、幫助人、尊榮婚姻和遠離罪惡。 　第7節經文還提到其他蒙上帝喜悅的事：「你們要記念從前帶領你們、向你們傳上帝信息的人。回想他們生前怎樣生活，怎樣死；要效法他們的信心。」在讀這節經文時，我想起一位名叫艾達的女士。我在猶他州鹽湖城遇見她，當時沒有家人在我身邊，所以艾達就成為我的屬靈母親。她曾經告訴我，她和她的先生曾經贏得一項曲目是「田納西華爾滋」的跳舞比賽。直到今天，每當我聽到這首歌時，就會想到艾達，也會回想起她的信心以及她對我作的見證。 　對我們來說，記得某些典範人物來幫助我們在基督裡成長是很好的。今天就花點時間來思想曾經幫助過你的基督徒，然後感謝上帝賜下這些人！—JL* 「可是要以謙恭溫和的態度回答。要有清白的良心，讓那些侮辱你們、對你們作為基督徒所表現的好品行妄加毀謗的人，自己覺得慚愧。」 彼得前書3:16 禱告：天父，謝謝祢賜下曾經幫助我更加親近祢的人。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (李信儀譯)

Remember
Bible Reading: Hebrews 13:1-9
Saturday, June 28, 2014

In our Bible Reading today, the writer lists things that please God — loving each other, helping people, honoring marriage and keeping away from sin. 　In verse 7 there is something else that pleases God. “Remember your leaders. They taught God’s message to you. Remember how they lived and died, and copy their faith.” When I read this verse, I think about a woman named Ida. I met her in Salt Lake City, Utah. I had no family near me, so Ida became my spiritual mother. She used to tell me about the time when she and her husband won a contest, dancing to the song, “The Tennessee Waltz.” Today when I hear that song, I think about Ida and remember her faith and testimony to me. 　It is good for us to remember people who have been examples for us and helped us grow in Christ. Take time today to think about Christians who have helped you. Then thank God for these people! —JL* “But answer them in a gentle way with respect. Keep your conscience clear. Then people will see the good way you live as followers of Christ.”1 Peter 3:16a PRAYER: Father, thank You for people who have helped me grow closer to You. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
