聖經閱讀：以賽亞書52:1-15 現代中譯本|合和本
2015年5月17日(日)
今天閱讀的經文包含了鼓勵上帝的子民、以色列人的話。上帝懲罰以色列人犯罪，讓他們被擄到其他國家。在這些經節中，以賽亞告訴上帝的子民，說他們將可以回到耶路撒冷：「耶路撒冷的廢墟呀，大聲歡呼歌唱吧！上主要救贖他的城，要安慰他的子民」（第9b節）。路德布里奇斯（1884-1948）是一個在肯塔基州、到各地教會巡迴佈道的牧師。有一天他得知太太和三個兒子在一場火災中喪了命，在路德從這場悲劇復原的期間，他寫了「不住的歌唱」這首詩歌，歌詞的一部份寫說：「耶穌，耶穌，耶穌，最甜美之名，滿足我心渴慕，使我歌唱前行。」路德能夠寫出這些激勵人心的話是因為上帝賜給他安慰和力量。 上帝安慰了以色列人，並且安慰了路德布里奇斯，祂也會安慰你。今天就倚靠上帝的愛和力量！ —BH 「上主要運用神聖的力量拯救他的子民； 普天下的人都將看到我們上帝的救恩。」 以賽亞書52:10
禱告：天父，謝謝祢總是與我同在，求祢今天在任何的情況都幫助我信靠?。奉耶穌的名，阿們！

Bible Reading: Isaiah 52:1-15

Our Bible Reading today contains encouraging words for God’s people, the Israelites. God had punished the Israelites for their sin by letting them be taken to other countries. In these verses Isaiah told God’s people that they would be able to return to Jerusalem. “Rejoice because the Lord comforted his people and set Jerusalem free” (verse 9b). Luther Bridgers (1884-1948) was a pastor in Kentucky who traveled to different churches. One day he learned that his wife and three sons had died in a fire. While Luther was recovering from this tragedy, he wrote the hymn, “He Keeps Me Singing.” Some of the words of this hymn are: “Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, sweetest name I know. Fills my every longing, keeps me singing as I go.” Luther was able to write these encouraging words because God gave Him comfort and strength. God comforted the Israelites and comforted Luther Bridges. He will comfort you, too. Depend on God’s love and strength today! —BH “The Lord showed his holy strength to all the nations. All the faraway countries saw how God saved his people.” Isaiah 52:10
PRAYER: Father, thank You for always being with me. Help me to trust You in every situation today. In Jesus’ name. Amen. |
