光 (3)

光 (3)
聖經閱讀：馬太福音5:14-16 現代中譯本|合和本
2015年1月6日(二)

我可以記得小時候在主日學校唱的一首歌，歌名是「我的小小光」。當唱這首歌時，我們會舉起食指假裝那是一根蠟燭，我們會唱：用我們的光為耶穌照耀全世界。 　這首歌不是在說真實的光，而是在說我們對上帝的信心。今天讀的經文說，我們就是光。當向人傳講耶穌時，我們就是在讓自己的光閃閃發亮；當我們對人行善的時候，也就讓我們的光發出光芒。 　我們對上帝的信心應該成為充滿罪惡與黑暗世界的光，我們?不應該企圖隱藏對上帝的信心，而應該大大發光，好讓每個人都知道我們是基督徒。 　今天就找機會讓你的光為耶穌閃耀。 －CW* 「同樣，你們的光也該照在人面前，讓他們看見你們的好行為，來頌讚你們在天上的父親。」 馬太福音5:16 禱告：親愛的天父，我稱頌祢的名，求祢幫助我天天為祢作明亮的光。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (尤榮輝譯)

Light (3)
Bible Reading: Matthew 5:14-16
Tuesday, January 6, 2015

I can remember singing a song in Sunday School when I was a child. The name of the song was “This Little Light of Mine.” We held up our index fingers as we sang and pretended they were candles. We sang about shining our lights around the world for Jesus. 　That song was not talking about a real light. It was talking about our faith in God. Our Bible Reading today tells us that we are lights. When we tell other people about Jesus, we are letting our lights shine. We also let our lights shine when we do good things for other people. 　Our faith in God should be light in a world full of sin and darkness. We should never try to hide our faith in God. We should shine brightly so that everyone will know we are Christians. 　Look for opportunities to let your light shine for Jesus today. —CW* “In the same way, you should be a light for other people. Live so that they will see the good things you do and praise your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:16 PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, I praise Your name. Help me to be a bright light for You every day. In Jesus' name. Amen.
