爸爸的靈修文 (7)
聖經閱讀：路加福音2:41-52 現代中譯本|合和本
2015年2月19日(四)

在今天閱讀經文的第49節，我們讀到了耶穌說的第一句話，那時祂十二歲，正跟著家人一起到耶路撒冷過逾越節。 　當馬利亞和約瑟從耶路撒冷回家的途中，他們發現耶穌沒有跟在身邊，於是他們折返回到耶路撒冷並在聖殿裡找到祂。在第48節，馬利亞對祂說：「孩子，為甚麼你這樣待我們？」耶穌回答說：「難道你們不知道我必須在我父親的家裏嗎？」（第49b節）。 　我們應該學像耶穌，我們應該會想要待在上帝的家裡。上帝的家就在任何可以為祂行善的地方——跟別人分享聖經、為宣教士奉獻金錢、幫助孤兒寡母，或是送飯給生病、受傷的人。 　今天你可以做什麼來學像耶穌呢？ —GM 「既然你們為我的跟從者中最微小的一人做，就是為我做！」 馬太福音25:40b 禱告：親愛的上帝，今天我願作祢的工，謝謝祢賜下服事祢的機會。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (尤榮輝譯)

Bible Reading: Luke 2:41-52
Thursday, February 19, 2015

In verse 49 of our Bible Reading today, we read the first words of Jesus. He was twelve years old and had just traveled with His family to Jerusalem for the Passover festival. 　As Mary and Joseph traveled home from Jerusalem, they discovered that Jesus was not with them. They returned to Jerusalem and found Jesus in the temple. In verse 48b Mary said to Him, “Son, why did you do this to us?” Jesus answered, “You should have known that I must be where my Father’s work is” (verse 49b). 　We should be like Jesus. We should want to be where God’s work is. God’s work is anywhere we can be doing good things for Him — sharing the Bible with someone, giving money to missionaries, helping orphans and widows or serving a meal to someone who is sick or hurt. 　What can you do to be like Jesus today? —GM “The truth is, anything you did for any of my people here, you also did for me.” Matthew 25:40b PRAYER: Dear God, I want to do Your work today. Thank You for opportunities to serve You. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
