愛是服事別人

愛是服事別人
聖經閱讀：加拉太書5:13-18 現代中譯本|合和本
2015年10月20日(二)

耶穌說：「你們要別人怎樣待你們，就得怎樣待別人」（馬太福音7:12a），耶穌又說最重要的誡命是「愛主－你的上帝」，另一個最重要的誡命是「愛鄰人，像愛自己一樣」（馬太福音22:37-39）。 　耶穌向我們示範了遵守這些誡命的方法。耶穌藉著聽從上帝的話、透過禱告跟上帝溝通，以及抗拒罪的誘惑來向上帝表達祂的愛。耶穌同時藉著愛人來展現祂愛上帝。 　耶穌藉著服事人來向人施展祂的愛。當有人餓了，耶穌就餵飽他們；當有人病了，耶穌就醫治他們。耶穌也分享上帝的話語給那些需要聽的人，最後，當耶穌死在十字架上時，祂為人的罪接受了刑罰。 　看看耶穌展現愛的方式，然後想一想今天你可以如何效法祂的榜樣。 —MK 「因為全部法律都綜合在『愛人如己』這條命令裡面。」 加拉太書5:14 禱告：親愛的主，我願效法耶穌的榜樣。奉主的名，阿們！ (江惠蓉譯)

Love Serves Others
Bible Reading: Galatians 5:13-18
Tuesday, October 20, 2015

Jesus said, “Do for others what you would want them to do for you” (Matthew 7:12a). Jesus also said that the most important command is to “love the Lord your God,” and the second most important command is to “love your neighbor the same as you love yourself” (Matthew 22:37-39). 　Jesus showed us the way to obey these commands. Jesus showed love for God by always obeying God’s Word, by communicating with God through prayer and by resisting temptations to sin. Jesus also showed His love for God by loving other people. 　Jesus showed His love for other people by serving them. When people were hungry, Jesus fed them. When people were sick, Jesus healed them. Jesus also shared the Word of God with people who needed to hear it. Finally, Jesus took the punishment for people’s sins when He died on the cross. 　Look at the ways Jesus showed His love. Then think about how you can copy His example today. —MK “The whole law is made complete in this one command: ‘Love your neighbor the same as you love yourself.’” Galatians 5:14 PRAYER: Dear Lord, I want to follow Jesus’ example. In His name. Amen.
