　今天的經文告訴我們一則很悲傷的故事，是關於施洗約翰的死。約翰傳講耶穌的信息，並且讓人們知道他們必須侮改，但是當約翰告訴這些人必須改變自己的生活時，有一些人就生氣了。
「希律怕約翰，知道他是一個正直聖潔的人」（第20b節），但是希律允許約翰被處死。後來，當耶穌開始祂的事工時，希律以為耶穌是死裡復活的施洗約翰，希律王並不明白耶穌的真正身分。
現今許多人仍然不明白耶穌是誰，有些人甚至相信耶穌是魔鬼的兄弟，其他宗教則教導人，說耶穌只是一個好人——不是上帝的兒子。
今天我們要小心，當人們跟你傳講耶穌的事蹟時，要確定他們說的是來自聖經中的真理。 —SH*

「親愛的朋友們，對於自稱有聖靈的，你們不要都相信，總要察驗他們的靈是不是出於上帝，因為已經有許多假先知到處出現了。」 約翰壹書4:1

禱告：上帝，我願更認識耶穌，求祢幫助我讀祢的話語並且作好準備。奉耶穌的名，阿們！

Lessons from Mark (4)
Bible Reading: Mark 6:14-29
Tuesday, February 16, 2016

　Our Bible verses today tell us a very sad story about the death of John the Baptizer. John preached the message about Jesus and showed people that they needed to repent. But some people were upset when John told them they needed to change their lives.
“Herod was afraid to kill John, because he knew that he was a good and holy man” (verse 20b). But Herod allowed John to be killed. Later, when Jesus began His ministry, Herod thought that Jesus was John the Baptizer raised from the dead. King Herod did not understand who Jesus really was.
Today many people still do not understand who Jesus is. Some people believe that Jesus is the brother of the devil. Other religions teach that Jesus was just a good man — not the Son of God.
Be careful today. When people tell you about Jesus, make sure that they are telling the truth found in the Bible. —SH*

“My dear friends, many false prophets are in the world now. So don't believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see if they are from God.” 1 John 4:1

PRAYER: God, I want to learn more about Jesus. Help me to study Your Word and be ready. In Jesus' name. Amen.
