獻上感謝 (4)

我們關於獻上感謝的下一個問題是：誰應該獻上感謝？讚美上帝和獻上感謝是基督徒要做的兩件非常重要的事情。聖經裡有許多次命令基督徒要獻上感謝並讚美上帝，詩篇107:1-2a說：「要感謝上主，因他至善；他的慈愛永遠長存。他所救贖的人哪，要重述這頌讚。」 　今天的經文告訴我們，耶穌醫治了十個得痳瘋病的人，這是一種可怕的皮膚病。這十個人懇求耶穌醫治他們，而耶穌也醫治了他們所有人，但是只有其中一個人感謝耶穌。耶穌一定感到傷心，因為其他九個人沒有感謝祂。 　而你呢？也許你正像那九個人，也許你享受著生活並領受從上帝而來的事物，卻沒有感謝上帝賜下這些祝福。我希望你學像那一位感謝耶穌的人。 　要學像那一位感謝耶穌的人，今天和今後的每一天都感謝上帝並讚美祂！ —NW 「一切有生命的被造物都要頌讚上主。要讚美上主！」 詩篇150:6 禱告：天父，我願因著祢賜給我的所有祝福真實地心存感謝。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (尤榮輝譯)

Giving Thanks (4)
Bible Reading: Luke 17:11-19
Tuesday, November 25, 2014

Our next question about giving thanks is: Who should give thanks? Praising God and giving thanks are two very important things for Christians to do. Many times in the Bible, Christians are commanded to give thanks and praise God. Psalm 107:1-2a says, “Praise the Lord because he is good! His faithful love will last forever! Everyone the Lord has saved should repeat that word of thanks.” 　Our Bible Reading today tells us that Jesus healed ten men with leprosy, a terrible skin disease. These ten men asked Jesus to heal them, and Jesus healed all of them. But only one man thanked Jesus. Jesus must have been sad that the other nine men did not thank Him. 　What about you? Maybe you are like the nine men. Maybe you enjoy life and accept things from God but do not thank God for these blessings. I hope you are like the one man who thanked Jesus. 　Be like the man who thanked Jesus. Thank God and praise Him today and every day! —NW “Everything that breathes, praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!” Psalm 150:6 PRAYER: Father, I want to be truly thankful for all of my blessings. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
