聖經閱讀：帖撒羅尼迦後書1:1-10 現代中譯本|合和本

當我到非洲的一所孤兒院宣教時，我發現那裡有相當多人憎恨基督徒，他們對基督徒做了許多壞事，企圖阻止他們信耶穌。
當耶穌在世上時，人們也對祂做壞事，但是祂卻用耐心和愛心對待他們。這就是我要效法的榜樣，當我的信心受到考驗時，我想要在愛心和耐心上成長。
雅各書1:2-4提醒我們，在遭受逼迫時應該感到喜樂，為什麼呢？因為這樣我們能在耶穌裡學習作一個忍耐、成熟和完備無欠缺的人。 今天要對耶穌持守忠心，不論你發生了什麼事，要用耐心和愛心對待他人。 —JR*
「上帝是公道的；他不會忘記你們為他所做的工作和愛心，就是從你們繼續不斷地幫助其他的信徒所表現出來的。我們最大的願望是：你們每一個人自始至終熱心。」
希伯來書6:10-11a
禱告：天父，求祢幫助我對祢持守忠心。奉耶穌的名，阿們！
(周維音譯)
2 Thessalonians (2)
Bible Reading: 2 Thessalonians 1:1-10
Thursday, January 13, 2016
When I took a mission trip to an orphanage in Africa, I learned that there are many people there who hate Christians. They do bad things to Christians and try to keep them from following Jesus.
When Jesus was on earth, people did bad things to Him, too. But He was patient and loving. That is the example I want to follow. When my faith is tested, I want to grow in patience and love.
In James 1:2-4, we are reminded that we should be happy when we face times of persecution. Why? Because we will learn to be patient, mature and complete in Jesus.
Stay faithful to Jesus today, no matter what happens to you. Be patient and loving to other people. —JR*
“God is fair, and he will remember all the work you have done. He will remember that you showed your love to him by helping his people and that you continue to help them. We want each of you to be willing and eager to show your love like that the rest of your life.”
Hebrews 6:10-11a
PRAYER: Father, help me to stay faithful to You. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
