傳揚福音
聖經閱讀：使徒行傳20:17-28 現代中譯本|合和本
2014年8月24日(日)

在今天的經文中，保羅跟以弗所教會來的長老見面，這是一個感性的聚會，為什麼呢？因為保羅就要前往耶路撒冷，而聖靈告訴保羅，他在耶路撒冷會遇到麻煩（第23節）。 　保羅並不知道他到耶路撒冷會發生什麼事，但是他確實知道一件事。在第24b節，保羅說：「為的是要完成我的使命，成就主耶穌交給我的工作，就是見證上帝恩典的福音。」 　我們每一個人每天都有例行性的事情要做、有固定的地方要去。我們知道，在我們經歷的每一天中，都可能會遇到麻煩，但是我們要記住，一天中我們可以做的最重要的事，是去向世人分享耶穌的福音。 　今天就決定去愛人、服事人，去向他們傳講耶穌，以及祂白白賜給他們的救恩。 —SH* 「無論對猶太人或外邦人，我都鄭重地勸告他們，要他們悔改，轉向上帝，並且信我們的主耶穌。」 使徒行傳20:21 禱告：天父，我今天願為耶穌而活，求祢幫助我向世人傳揚祂的福音。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (李信儀譯)

Tell the Good News
Bible Reading: Acts 20:17-28
Sunday, August 24, 2014

In our Bible Reading today, Paul met with the elders from the church in Ephesus. It was an emotional meeting. Why? Because Paul was going to Jerusalem. The Holy Spirit had told Paul that there would be trouble for him in Jerusalem (verse 23). 　Paul did not know what would happen to him in Jerusalem. But he did know one thing. Paul said in verse 24b, “I want to finish the work that the Lord Jesus gave me to do — to tell people the Good News about God’s grace.” 　Each of us has a daily routine of things we do and places we go. We know that as we go through our day, we may face troubles. But we should remember that the most important thing we can do all day is to share the Good News about Jesus with others. 　Choose today to love and serve other people. Tell them about Jesus and the salvation He freely gives to them. —SH* “I told everyone — Jewish and non-Jewish people — to change and turn to God. I told them all to believe in our Lord Jesus.” Acts 20:21 PRAYER: Father, I want to live for Jesus today. Help me to tell others about Him. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
