耶穌的母親馬利亞

耶穌的母親馬利亞

在新約聖經中有三個女人都叫馬利亞，今天和接下來的幾天，我會要來認識這幾個女人。

今天的經文是關於耶穌的母親馬利亞。在耶穌出生後，約瑟和馬利亞帶嬰孩耶穌到耶路撒冷的聖殿， 「要把他奉獻給主」（路加福音2:22），在那裡他們遇見了一個叫西面的人。
西面跟馬利亞談到耶穌，在第35b節，西面說：「憂傷要像利劍刺透你的心。」上帝賜給西面這些預言，這些話是在預表耶穌進行宣教事工時，人們會說祂的壞話、會對祂作惡事。對馬利亞來說，看見耶穌死在十字架上一定非常痛苦！

馬利亞是一個令人讚嘆的女子，她愛上帝並忠心服事祂，她是我們獻上一生給上帝的榜樣。 —BH

「馬利亞說：『我是主的婢女；願你的話成就在我身上。』」 路加福音1:38a

禱告：親愛的上帝，謝謝祢賜下馬利亞，她的生命鼓勵我為祢而活。奉耶穌的名，阿們！

禱告：親愛的上帝，謝謝祢賜下馬利亞，她的生命鼓勵我為祢而活。奉耶穌的名，阿們！

Mary, Jesus' Mother
Bible Reading: Luke 2:25-35
Saturday, January 30, 2016

　There are three women mentioned in the New Testament who are named Mary. Today and for the next two days we will learn about these women.

Today's Bible Reading is about Mary, the mother of Jesus. After Jesus was born, Joseph and Mary took baby Jesus to the temple in Jerusalem to “present him to the Lord” (Luke 2:22). While they were there, they met a man named Simeon.
Simeon talked to Mary about Jesus. In verse 35b, Simeon said that “things that happen will be painful for you — like a sword cutting through your heart.” God gave Simeon these words of prophecy. These words were talking about times during Jesus' ministry when people would say bad things about Him and do bad things to Him. It must have been very hard for Mary to watch her son die on the cross!

Mary was an amazing woman who loved God and faithfully served Him. She is an example of how we should give our lives to God. —BH

“Mary said, ‘I am the servant of the Lord God. Let this thing you have said happen to me!'” Luke 1:38a

PRAYER: Dear God, thank You for Mary. Her life encourages me to live for You. In Jesus' name. Amen.
