幫助他人
聖經閱讀：使徒行傳9:36-40 現代中譯本|合和本
2016年1月27日(三)

今天我們的靈修經文談到一個叫大比大的女人，她住在約帕這個城市。大比大很喜歡幫助人，她捐助金錢給有需要的人，又為寡婦縫製衣服。
有一天大比大病死了，先前受到她幫助的寡婦都很傷心，約帕的基督徒就派兩個人去找彼得，並帶他到大比大的家裡。當彼得抵達時，這些寡婦正傷心地哭著，她們把大比大生前為她們縫製的衣服給彼得看。。 「彼得吩咐大家都出去，就跪下禱告，然後轉向屍體，說：『大比大，起來！』她睜開眼睛，看見彼得，就坐起來」（第40節）。接著，彼得給那些人看已經復活的大比大。

大比大是我們的好榜樣，我們要像她一樣幫助貧窮的人；當幫助別人時，我們就向他們分享了上帝的愛。今天就找方法來幫助需要的人。 —DJH*

「這消息傳遍了約帕，有許多人信了主。」 使徒行傳9:42

禱告：天父，我願意像大比大一樣幫助他人。奉耶穌的名，阿們！

Helping Others
Bible Reading: Acts 9:36-40
Wednesday, January 27, 2016

Our Bible Reading today talks about a woman named Tabitha. She lived in the city of Joppa. Tabitha liked to help people. She gave money to people who needed it and made clothes for women whose husbands had died.
One day Tabitha became sick and died. The women that Tabitha had helped were very sad. The Christians in Joppa sent two men to find Peter and bring him to Tabitha's house. When Peter arrived the women were crying. They showed Peter the clothes that Tabitha had made for them.
“Peter sent all the people out of the room. He knelt down and prayed. Then he turned to Tabitha's body and said, ‘Tabitha, stand up!’ She opened her eyes. When she saw Peter, she sat up” (verse 40). Then Peter showed the people that Tabitha was alive.

Tabitha is a good example for us. We should be like her and help people who are poor. When we help others, we are sharing God's love with them. Look for ways today to help people in need. —DJH*

“People everywhere in Joppa learned about this, and many believed in the Lord.” Acts 9:42

PRAYER: Father, I want to be like Tabitha and help other people. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
