聖經閱讀：歷代志下33:1-17 現代中譯本|合和本
2015年1月12日(一)
瑪拿西是猶大國王，今天讀的經文告訴我們，他比之前的所有君王更加邪惡。瑪拿西崇拜偶像，他殺害上帝的先知。瑪拿西甚至將自己的兒女獻祭給偶像！他所做的可怕事情讓上帝很生氣。巴比倫王俘虜了瑪拿西，將他下到監獄裡。當瑪拿西待在牢裡時，他終於為所有做過的壞事感到抱歉。瑪拿西懇求上帝赦免他，而上帝就赦免了瑪拿西。 就算瑪拿西做了可怕的事，上帝仍然赦免他；無論你的罪是多麼的糟糕，上帝仍然可以赦免你。如果你真的對自己的罪感到抱歉，就改變你的心思意念，接受藉著耶穌而來的上帝恩典，上帝就會赦免你。 瑪拿西不再做邪惡的事並順服上帝，上帝的恩典改變了瑪拿西的生命。上帝也可以改變你的生命。 －MK 「由於他的恩典，我們得以跟上帝有合宜的關係，而得到所盼望那永恆的生命。」 提多書3:7
禱告：天父，求祢改變我的生命讓我更像耶穌。奉主的名，阿們！

Grace: Manasseh
Bible Reading: 2 Chronicles 33:1-17

Manasseh was a king of Judah. Our Bible Reading tells us that he was more evil than all the kings who were before him. Manasseh worshiped idols, and he killed God’s prophets. Manasseh even sacrificed his own children to idols! The terrible things he did made God very angry. The king of Babylon captured Manasseh and threw him in prison. When Manasseh was in prison, he finally became sorry for all the evil things he had done. Manasseh begged God to forgive him, and God forgave Manasseh. Even though Manasseh had done terrible things, God forgave him. No matter how bad your sins are, God can forgive you. If you are truly sorry for your sins, change your heart and mind, and accept God’s grace through Jesus, God will forgive you. Manasseh stopped doing evil things and obeyed God. God’s grace changed Manasseh’s life. God can change your life, too. —MK “We were made right with God by his grace. God saved us so that we could be his children and look forward to receiving life that never ends.” Titus 3:7
PRAYER: Father, change my life to become more like Jesus. In His name. Amen. |
