誕生的故事 (12)

　我們經常說耶穌是一個卑微、無助的嬰孩，但是耶穌也同時是萬民的主。
「主」是一個對其他人擁有權柄、管理他們的人，當接受耶穌作為我們的救主時，祂也同時成為我們的主。我們告訴耶穌，希望祂掌管我們的生活，並擁有管理我們的權柄。
有些人並不願意讓耶穌掌管他們的生活，這些人認為耶穌會奪走他們隨自己心意做事的自由。當耶穌成為我們的主時，我們就得著自由了；我們可以自由地生活而沒有恐懼和憂慮，我們可以自由地過一個尊榮上帝、美好又令人興奮的生活！
今天經文閱讀的第1節說：「既然我們因信得以被稱為義人，就藉著我們的主耶穌基督跟上帝有了和睦的關係。」讚美上帝藉著耶穌賜給我們平安！ —GT

「你們知道，他藉著萬人之主耶穌基督傳給以色列人的信息是和平的福音。」
使徒行傳10:36

禱告：天父，我好高興能藉著耶穌得著平安。奉主的名，阿們！

(尤榮輝譯)

Birth Story (12)
Bible Reading: Romans 5:1-5
Wednesday, December 23, 2015

Often we talk about Jesus being a humble, helpless baby. But Jesus was also the Lord over all people.
A lord is a person who has authority, control and power over other people. When we accept Jesus as our Savior, He also becomes our Lord. We tell Jesus that we want Him to be in control of our lives and have authority over us.
Some people are not willing to let Jesus control their lives. These people think that Jesus will take away their freedom to do what they want. But that’s not true. When Jesus becomes our Lord, we become free. We are free to live without fear and worry. We are free to live a wonderful, exciting life that honors God!
Verse 1 of our Bible verses for today says, “We have been made right with God because of our faith. So we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” Praise God for the peace that Jesus gives us! —GT

“God has spoken to the people of Israel. He sent them the Good News that peace has come through Jesus Christ, the Lord of all people.”
Acts 10:36

PRAYER: Father, I am so happy that I have peace through Jesus. In His name. Amen.
