寶貴的

寶貴的

2000年時，有一個人用45元買了一些攝影感光板，裡面有一些在優勝美地國家公園拍的照片。十年後，這些照片被發現是名攝影師安塞爾亞當斯所拍攝的，它們估計約價值2億美元！
馬太福音26:47-56告訴我們，猶大引領一些猶太人去捉拿耶穌，今天閱讀的經文告訴我們，有人付猶大30塊銀幣來做這件事，這是當時買一匹馬五分之一的價錢，對猶太人來說，耶穌的價值還不如一匹馬！
耶穌，全能上帝的獨生子，是那位救贖我們、應許我們永生的神。猶太人並不了解耶穌的價值，他們認不出祂就是來拯救他們脫離罪惡的彌賽亞，但是耶穌的價值遠高於30個銀幣或是2億元，祂就是我們生命的全部。
耶穌對你來說有多寶貴呢？你要讓祂成為你一生中最重要的部份。 —BL

「為了他，我損失了一切，當作垃圾，為要贏得基督」 腓立比書3:8b

禱告：上帝，謝謝祢賜下耶穌，我願一生以祂為至高至大。奉耶穌的名，阿們！

(尤榮輝譯)

Valuable
Bible Reading: Matthew 26:14-16
Friday, July 8, 2016

　In 2000 a man paid $45 for some photographic plates of pictures taken in Yosemite National Park. Ten years later it was discovered that these photos were taken by the famous photographer, Ansel Adams, and they were valued to be worth $200 million!
Matthew 26:47-56 tells us that Judas led some of the Jews to arrest Jesus. Our Bible verses tell us that Judas was paid 30 silver coins for doing this. That was one-fifth of the price paid for a horse at that time. To the Jews, Jesus was worth less than a horse!
Jesus, the only Son of Almighty God, is the One who has redeemed us and promises us eternal life. The Jews did not realize Jesus' value. They did not recognize Him as the Messiah who had come to save them from their sins. But Jesus is worth far more than 30 pieces of silver or $200 million. He should mean everything to us.
How valuable is Jesus to you? Make Him the most important part of your life. —BL

“...now I think that all things are worth nothing compared with the greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord.” Philippians 3:8b

PRAYER: God, thank You for Jesus. I want Him to be most important in my life. In Jesus' name. Amen.
