赦免

赦免

你可能會發現原諒別人是一件困難的事情。也許有家人虐待你，或者是你的丈夫或太太對你不忠，像這樣的情形，要去原諒別人也許很困難。 　我讀到一則故事，說一個拿槍的人開始在戲院向觀眾掃射的時候，有一位信主的弟兄正好在其中。這位弟兄被那槍手射傷，但是他說他原諒那個拿槍射他的人。 　在今天的經文中，耶穌說如果我們希望上帝赦免我們，我們就必須原諒別人。有時候要說出「我原諒你」是很困難的，但是當我們真正原諒了別人時，我們就擺脫了在我們心裡面的傷害和怒氣。 　也許有人傷害了你，就求上帝幫助你去愛並原諒那個人，然後去連絡他們並跟他們說：「我原諒你！」原諒那個人會在你的生活中帶給你平安。 －BP* 「你們若饒恕別人的過錯，你們的天父也會饒恕你們；你們若不饒恕別人的過錯，你們的天父也不會饒恕你們的過錯。」 馬太福音6:14-15 禱告：上帝，謝謝祢賜下赦罪之恩。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (尤榮輝譯)

Forgiveness
Bible Reading: Matthew 6:9-15
Tuesday, July 15, 2014

You may find it hard to forgive some people. Maybe someone in your family has abused you. Or maybe your husband or wife has been unfaithful to you. In situations like this, it may be difficult to forgive. 　I read about a Christian man who was in a theater when a gunman started shooting at the crowd. The man was injured by the shooter. But he said he forgave the man who shot him. 　In our Bible verses Jesus said that if we want God to forgive us, we need to forgive other people. Sometimes it is very hard to say, “I forgive you.” But when we truly forgive others, we get rid of the hurt and anger inside us. 　Maybe there is someone who has hurt you. Ask God to help you love and forgive that person. Then contact them and tell them, “I forgive you!” Forgiving that person will give you peace in your life. —BP* “Yes, if you forgive others for the wrongs they do to you, then your Father in heaven will also forgive your wrongs. But if you don’t forgive others, then your Father in heaven will not forgive the wrongs you do.” Matthew 6:14-15 PRAYER: God, thank You for Your forgiveness. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
