復活節

復活節
聖經閱讀：馬太福音28:1-10 現代中譯本|合和本
2015年4月5日(日)

星期五我們談到上帝離開耶穌，這真是個壞消息！但好消息是，上帝並沒有跟耶穌斷絶關係。上帝拿走了耶穌所承受的罪並且將它們永遠抹去，然後上帝又跟耶穌再次相聚。 　今天是復活節──是我們特別記念耶穌死在十架上、並在第三天復活的日子。這是上帝計劃的完成，因為耶穌死去，我們的罪才能被赦免；又因為耶穌復活，我們才能擁有跟上帝在天國共享永生的盼望。 　我希望你今天會抽時間讓自己快樂！今天經文閱讀的第8節說：那些離開耶穌墳地的婦女「又驚訝又極歡喜」。你如何讓自己歡喜快樂呢？想一想耶穌為你所成就的事，想一想跟耶穌永遠同住會是什麼樣的情形。 　如果你對耶穌的死而復活感到高興，我相信你今天會想要去跟別人分享這個福音！ —JK 「所以，你們要去，使萬國萬民都作我的門徒。」 馬太福音28:19a 禱告：上帝，感謝祢賜下耶穌，今天我願去向人傳講祂的福音。奉主的名，阿們！ (江惠蓉譯)

Resurrection Day
Bible Reading: Matthew 28:1-10
Sunday, April 5, 2015

On Friday we talked about God leaving Jesus alone. That was bad news! But the good news is that God did not stay separated from Jesus. God took the sins that Jesus accepted and erased them forever. Then God and Jesus were together again. 　Today is Resurrection Day — the day when we especially remember that Jesus died on the cross and rose again on the third day. That was the completion of God’s plan. Because Jesus died, we can have our sins forgiven. And, because Jesus rose again, we can have the hope of eternal life with God in heaven. 　I hope that you will take time today to be happy! Our Bible Reading says in verse 8 that the women who left Jesus’ tomb “were afraid, but they were also very happy.” How can you be happy? Think about what Jesus did for you. Think about what it will be like to live with Him forever. 　If you are happy that Jesus died and rose again, I am sure you will want to share that Good News with someone today! —JK “So go and make followers of all people in the world.” Matthew 28:19a PRAYER: God, thank You for Jesus. I want to tell someone about Him today. In His name. Amen.
