幫助別人
聖經閱讀：路加福音10:25-37 現代中譯本|合和本
2015年6月20日(六)

在今天閱讀的經文中，耶穌說了一個關於一個猶太人的故事，祂說這個人在旅行時，強盜搶了他的衣服，「把他打個半死，丟在那裡」（第30b節）。 　有一個猶太祭司看見了這個人，卻沒有停下來幫助他，然後有一個利未人經過那裡，「他上前看看那人，也從另一邊走開」（第32b節）。 　然後有一個撒馬利亞人看見了這個受傷的猶太人，那時猶太人和撒馬利亞人不相往來，但是這個人卻停下來幫助那個猶太人。撒馬利亞人照料那人的傷口，帶他到一家可以休息、復原的旅館。 　在第37節，耶穌告訴我們應該要學像那個撒馬利亞人，他是唯一停下來幫助有需要的人。這個撒馬利亞人向一個被認為是他仇敵的人展現愛和憐憫。 　今天就找機會向人施展上帝的愛。 —AN 「要愛鄰人，像愛自己一樣。」 路加福音10:27b 禱告：上帝，我願以親切和慈愛待人，求祢今天向我顯明我可以如何幫助別人。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (尤榮輝譯)

Help Others
Bible Reading: Luke 10:25-37
Saturday, June 20, 2015

In our Bible verses today, Jesus told a story about a Jewish man. While this man was traveling, robbers took his clothes, beat him and “left him lying there on the ground almost dead” (verse 30b). 　A Jewish priest saw the man, but he did not stop to help him. Then a Jewish Levite walked by. “He saw the hurt man, but he went around him...He just walked away” (verse 32b). 　Then a man from Samaria saw the Jewish man who was hurt. Jews and Samaritans did not associate with each other, but this man stopped and helped the Jewish man. The Samaritan took care of the man's wounds and took him to an inn where he could rest and recover. 　In verse 37, Jesus tells us that we should be like the Samaritan man. He was the only person who stopped and helped someone who was in need. The Samaritan showed love and compassion to someone who was considered his enemy. 　Look for opportunities today to show God's love to others. —AN “Love your neighbor the same as you love yourself.” Luke 10:27b PRAYER: God, I want to be loving and kind to other people. Show me how I can help someone today. In Jesus' name. Amen.
