基督徒朋友
聖經閱讀：使徒行傳18:1-3 現代中譯本|合和本
2015年3月15日(日)

彼此團契對基督徒來說是很重要的。在使徒行傳第2章，我們讀到耶路撒冷的基督徒每天都花時間相聚。 　我有許多很棒的基督徒朋友，一些基督徒朋友跟我有相同的興趣。在今天的經文閱讀中，我們得知保羅旅行到哥林多，他在那裡遇到了亞居拉和他的妻子百基拉，他們和保羅一樣都是靠製造帳棚維持生活，所以保羅就「留下來跟他們一起工作」（第3b節）。 　保羅持續跟亞居拉和百基拉同工來傳揚耶穌的福音。在羅馬書16:4，保羅談到亞居拉和百基拉，說「他們為了我冒生命的危險」。哇，他們真是良善的基督徒朋友！ 　想一想你的基督徒朋友，你們是否彼此分享並相互幫助來更加親近上帝呢？今天就為你的基督徒朋友禱告，花時間跟他們相聚，並且為上帝的教會一起同工。—JK 「他們…參加團契生活，分享愛筵，一起禱告。」 使徒行傳2:42 禱告：天父，謝謝祢賜給我基督徒朋友，今天我願去愛他們、鼓勵他們。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (江惠蓉譯)

Christian Friends
Bible Reading: Acts 18:1-3
Sunday, March 15, 2015

It is very important for Christians to fellowship with one another. In Acts, chapter 2, we read that the Christians in Jerusalem spent time with each other every day. 　I have many wonderful Christian friends. Some of my Christian friends are people who have the same interests as I do. In our Bible Reading today, we learn that Paul traveled to the city of Corinth. There he met Aquila and his wife, Priscilla. They were tentmakers, just like Paul. So Paul “stayed with them and worked with them” (verse 3b). 　Paul continued to work with Aquila and Priscilla to spread the Good News about Jesus. In Romans 16:3, Paul said about Aquila and Priscilla, “They risked their own lives to save mine.” Wow – they were really good Christian friends! 　Think about your Christian friends. Do you share with each other and help each other grow closer to God? Pray for your Christian friends today. Spend time with them and work together for God’s church. —JK “The believers...shared everything with each other. They ate together and prayed together.” Acts 2:42 PRAYER: Father, thank You for my Christian friends. I want to love and encourage them today. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
