水的神蹟 (8)

水的神蹟 (8)

　在愛荷華州的夏天我們常常會有很大的暴風雨，烏雲密佈、風強雨大讓人感到害怕，當這種情況發生時，任何人都沒辦法使風雨停下來。
在今天的經文閱讀中，耶穌和祂的一些門徒正在湖上，有一場暴風雨來襲，狂風將水吹進船裡，耶穌的門徒開始感到害怕，耶穌就站起來命令風浪平息。哇！風和浪都聽從耶穌，但在耶穌這麼做之後，祂的門徒仍然感到害怕，他們說（第41節）：「這個人究竟是誰，連風浪也聽從他！」耶穌的門徒已經看過祂行了許多神蹟，但是他們仍然感到害怕。
所有聖經裡的神蹟都向我們顯明上帝的能力，如果上帝可以行這些奇妙的神蹟，祂就可以賜給我們一個罪得赦免的方法，這個方法就是要透過耶穌。上帝的救恩計劃就是最偉大的神蹟！ —JK

「耶穌說：『我就是道路、真理、生命；要不是藉著我，沒有人能到父親那裡去。』」 約翰福音14:6

禱告：上帝，謝謝祢藉由耶穌賜下救恩。奉主的名，阿們！

Water Miracles (8)
Bible Reading: Mark 4:35-41
Monday, April 25, 2016

　In Iowa we
often have
very bad
storms in
the summer.
It can be
scary when
the clouds
become black, the wind blows hard and the rains come down. When that happens, there is nothing any person can do to stop the wind and the rain.
In our Bible verses, Jesus and some of His followers were on the lake. A very bad storm came up. The wind was so strong that water came into their boat. Jesus' followers became afraid. Jesus stood up and told the wind and the waves to stop. Wow! The wind and the waves obeyed Jesus. After Jesus did this, His followers were still afraid. They said (verse 41), “What kind of man is this? Even the wind and the water obey him!” Jesus' followers had seen Jesus perform many miracles. But they were still afraid.
All the miracles in the Bible show us God's power. If God can do these wonderful miracles, then He can also give us a way to have our sins forgiven. This way is through Jesus. God's plan of salvation is the greatest miracle of all! —JK

“Jesus answered, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. The only way to the Father is through me.’” John 14:6

PRAYER: God, thank You for salvation through Jesus. In His name. Amen.
