家
聖經閱讀：哥林多後書5:1-8 現代中譯本|合和本
2016年7月26日(二)

　幾年前，我在家裡發生了一件不幸的事，我有很多不好的記憶，甚至讓我不想待在家裡。
星期天教會禮拜結束後，我都會去一個朋友的家，她會為我準備晚餐，我們快樂地說話談心。但是天黑時，她說：「我知道妳不想回家，但是妳還是必須回去。」幾個月後，一場暴風雨摧毁了我的房子，我必須重建它，在房子被摧毁時，我感覺好像所有不好的記憶都被沖走了。
今天的經文閱讀談到跟上帝永遠同住的家，總有一天世上的一切都會被摧毁，就連我們的肉體也一樣。「如果我們所住的這地上的帳棚拆去了，上帝會給我們天上的住宅，是他親自建造、永遠存在的」（第1b節）。
我天天遵從並跟隨耶穌，我現在已經等不及要去天上的家跟上帝永遠同住。 —SAH

「更重要的是，無論在這地上的身體裡，還是穿上屬天的身體，我們都要討主的喜悅。」 哥林多後書5:9

禱告：天父，謝謝祢預備了一個我可以跟祢同住的地方。奉耶穌的名，阿們！

(尤榮輝譯)

Bible Reading: 2 Corinthians 5:1-8
Tuesday, July 26, 2016

　Many years ago, something bad happened to me in my house. I had so many bad memories that I didn't want to even be in my house.
On Sundays I went to a friend's house after church. She cooked dinner for me, and we laughed and talked. But when it became dark she said, “I know you don't want to go home, but you've got to go.” A few months later a hurricane destroyed my house, and I had to rebuild. I felt like all my bad memories were washed away when my home was destroyed.
Our Bible verses talk about our eternal home with God. One day everything here on earth will be destroyed, even our physical bodies. “But when that happens, God will have a home for us to live in. It will not be the kind of home people build here. It will be a home in heaven that will continue forever” (verse 1b).
I obey and follow Jesus every day. Now I can't wait to go to my heavenly home and live forever with God. —SAH

“Our only goal is to always please the Lord, whether we are living here in this body or there with him.” 2 Corinthians 5:9

PRAYER: Father, thank You for preparing a place where I can live with You. In Jesus' name. Amen.
