宣教士 (5)
聖經閱讀：使徒行傳12:1-17 現代中譯本|合和本
2016年2月27日(六)

　要當一名宣教士並不容易，有時候人們會對宣教士做不好的事，為什麼呢？因為這些人希望宣教士停止教導關於耶穌的事。今天閱讀的經文告訴我們，希律王對一些基督徒做了不好的事，他逮捕彼得、將他關入監獄，希律王命令16個士兵看守彼得。
彼得在監獄中時有一位天使向他顯現，這位天使幫助彼得逃出監獄。在第11b節，彼得說：「現在我知道這是真的；主差遣祂的天使，救我脫離希律的手和猶太人要加給我的一切災害」。

上帝照顧彼得，聖經中充滿了上帝如何照顧那些愛祂並且順服祂的人的故事。有時候當宣教士是一件困難的事，但是你必須記住上帝會一直照顧你。 不要害怕去向人傳講耶穌，要倚靠上帝的力量和保護。 —JK

「他……向他們解釋主怎樣帶他出了監獄。彼得又吩咐他們把消息告訴雅各和信徒們」 使徒行傳12:17b

禱告：天父，我知道當我向人分享耶穌時，祢會賜給我力量並且保護我。奉耶穌的名，阿們！

Missionaries (5)
Bible Reading: Acts 12:1-17
Saturday, February 27, 2016

　It is not easy to be a missionary. Sometimes people do bad things to missionaries. Why? Because these people want the missionaries to stop teaching about Jesus. Our Bible verses today tell us that King Herod did bad things to some Christians. He arrested Peter and put him in jail. King Herod had 16 soldiers guard Peter.
An angel came to Peter while he was in jail. The angel helped Peter escape from jail. In verse 11b Peter said, “Now I know that the Lord really sent his angel to me. He rescued me from Herod and from everything those Jews thought would happen to me.”

God took care of Peter. The Bible is full of stories about how God took care of people who loved and obeyed Him. Sometimes it is difficult to be a missionary. But you need to remember God will always take care of you. Don't be afraid to tell people about Jesus. Depend on God's strength and protection. —JK

“He explained to them how the Lord led him out of jail. He said, ‘Tell James and the other brothers what happened.'” Acts 12:17b

PRAYER: Father, I know that You will give me strength and protect me as I share about Jesus with others. In His name. Amen.
