赦免

赦免

2015年12月26日(六)

今天的經文是關於一個欠了國王很多錢的僕人。這個僕人欠了太多錢，以致於無法償還。
當僕人跟國王見面說話時，他並沒有向國王請求免了他的債，反而要求給他多一點時間來償還所欠的錢。之後，在國王免了僕人的債時，這個僕人並沒有表現出謙卑或感謝的心，事實上，這個僕人出去後並沒有寬容欠他錢的人。

今天有一些人就像這個僕人，當意識到自己犯了罪時，他們並沒有懇求上帝的赦免，反而認為可以靠著行善來贖罪。之後，當知道上帝願意赦免他們的罪時，他們並沒有表現出謙卑去寬恕別人。
請接受上帝奇妙的赦免禮物，然後願意去寬恕人。 —BL

「如果你們各人不肯從心裏饒恕弟兄，我的天父也要這樣對待你們。」 馬太福音18:35

禱告：上帝，對於祢賜下的赦罪大禮，我心存感謝。奉耶穌的名，阿們！

(李信儀譯)

Forgiveness
Bible Reading: Matthew 18:21-35
Saturday, December 26, 2015

Our Bible verses today are about a servant who owed a lot of money to the king. The servant owed so much money that he could never pay it back.
When the servant talked with the king, he did not ask for forgiveness of his debt. Instead, he asked for more time to pay the money he owed. Then, when the king forgave his debt, the servant showed no humility or thankfulness. In fact, that servant went out and did not show mercy to someone who owed him money.

Some people today are like that servant. When they realize that they have sinned, they do not ask God for forgiveness. Instead, they think that they can do good deeds to pay for their sins. Then, when they know that God is willing to forgive their sins, they are not humble and willing to forgive others.
Accept God's wonderful gift of forgiveness. And then be willing to show forgiveness to others. —BL

This king did the same as my heavenly Father will do to you. You must forgive your brother or sister with all your heart, or my heavenly Father will not forgive you.” Matthew 18:35

PRAYER: God, I am so thankful for Your great gift of forgiveness. In Jesus' name. Amen.
