聖經閱讀：使徒行傳1:6-8 現代中譯本|合和本
2014年8月31日(日)
上帝教會計劃的最後部份是「甚至到天涯海角，為我作見證」（第8b節）。使徒行傳的其餘部份告訴我們，十二個使徒和保羅如何將福音傳到世界各地。保羅在羅馬帝國各地進行三次佈道旅行，向猶太人和外邦人傳講耶穌。保羅是一個宣教士──是被差派去分享上帝信息的人。保羅遇到了很多困難，但是上帝總是與他同在。 我們也有責任去向全世界分享耶穌的福音，但也許你會想：「我沒辦法環遊世界，我怎麼能去分享耶穌的福音呢？」有個方法讓你可以去支持在其他國家服事的宣教士，就是你可以為他們禱告並且在資金上支持他們。 此外，或許你也可以進行一次海外的短期宣教之旅，或是一次國內的宣教。就讓上帝來幫助你參與祂拯救全世界的計劃。 —JK 「所以，你們要去，使萬國萬民都作我的門徒，奉父、子、聖靈的名給他們施洗，並且教導他們遵守我所給你們的一切命令。」 馬太福音28:19-20a
禱告：父神，我願全世界都來認識祢和耶穌。奉主的名，阿們！

God's Plan (4)
Bible Reading: Acts 1:6-8

The last part of God's plan for His church was to go to “every part of the world” (verse 8b). The rest of the book of Acts tells us how the twelve apostles and Paul spread the Good News throughout the world. Paul made three trips around the Roman Empire to tell Jews and non-Jews about Jesus. Paul was a missionary — someone who is sent to share God's message. Paul faced many hard times, but God was always with him. We, too, have a responsibility to share Jesus with the whole world. But maybe you are thinking, “I can't travel around the world. How can I share Jesus?” One way is for you to support missionaries who are serving in other countries. You can pray for them and support them financially. Also, you may be able to go on a short-term mission trip to another country or a mission in your own country. Let God help you be a part of His plan to save the whole world. —JK “So go and make followers of all people in the world. Baptize them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach them to obey everything that I have told you to do.” Matthew 28:19-20a
PRAYER: Father, I want the whole world to know about You and Jesus. In His name. Amen. |
