我們要談的下一位宣教士是保羅。保羅到很多城市向人傳講耶穌,使徒行傳跟我們談到保羅的旅程。
有一次保羅和西拉一起旅行,他們從一位年輕女子的身上趕走鬼,而女孩的主人就生氣了,他們把保羅和西拉關進監牢裡。保羅和西拉被關的時候,他們仍然禱告並且唱歌讚美上帝,「忽然有劇烈的地震……一下子所有的監門都開了」(第26節),保羅和西拉擺脫了鎖鍊、得到了自由。
獄卒很害怕保羅和西拉逃跑了,但是他卻看到保羅和西拉並沒有逃走,於是他將保羅和西拉帶回家。保羅和西拉向獄卒和他的家人傳講耶穌的事蹟,第33b節說:「他和他的一家立刻都受了洗禮」。
就算保羅和西拉身在監牢裡,他們仍然讚美上帝。當向人傳講上帝時,我希望你會一直讚美祂。 —JK
「他和全家滿有喜樂,因為他們都信了上帝。」
使徒行傳16:34b
禱告:親愛的上帝,因著祢為我所成就的一切,我感謝讚美祢。奉耶穌的名,阿們!

Bible Reading: Acts 16:16-40
Sunday, February 28, 2016
The next missionary we will talk about is Paul. Paul traveled to many cities to tell people about Jesus. The book of Acts tells us about Paul's travels.
One time Paul was traveling with Silas. They removed a demon from a young girl. The men who owned this girl became upset. They had Paul and Silas put in jail. While Paul and Silas were in jail, they prayed and sang praises to God. “Suddenly there was an earthquake...All the doors of the jail opened” (verse 26). Paul and Silas were freed from their chains.
The jailer was scared that Paul and Silas had escaped. But the jailer saw that Paul and Silas had not escaped. He took Paul and Silas to his home. Paul and Silas told the jailer and his family about Jesus. Verse 33b says that “the jailer and all his people were baptized.”
Paul and Silas praised God, even though they were in jail. I hope that you will continue to praise God as you tell other people about Him. —JK
“All the people were very happy because they now believed in God.”
Acts 16:34b
PRAYER: Dear God, I praise You and thank You for all You have done for me. In Jesus' name. Amen.
