聖經閱讀：約翰福音6:16-21 現代中譯本|合和本
2016年8月8日(一)

我以前住在一個鄉間的小山坡上，那裡好像一直都吹著風，有時候我對風感到厭倦，希望它停下來。風是地球天氣很重要的部分，風形成雲，並把雲吹到各地降下雨水。
今天閱讀的經文告訴我們有一次在加利利湖刮起一陣強風，耶穌的門徒正在船上，那時候是晚上，風興起了湖上的浪。突然間，門徒看見耶穌「在水上朝著船走過來」（第19節），門徒都感到害怕！但耶穌跟他們說：「是我，不要怕！」這是一個神蹟──是一個只有靠上帝大能才可能發生的事情。耶穌行了許多神蹟來幫助人，並讓人知道祂真是上帝的兒子。
我們可以在聖經中讀到耶穌的神蹟，這幫助我們確信耶穌是我們得救並和上帝永遠同住的唯一方法。 —JK

「只有一位上帝，在上帝和人之間有一位中間人，就是成為人的基督耶穌。」 提摩太前書2:5b

禱告：上帝，謝謝祢賜下耶穌。奉主的名，阿們！

Weather (9)
Bible Reading: John 6:16-21
Monday, August 8, 2016

　I used to live on a hill out in the country. It seemed that the wind was always blowing there. Sometimes I got tired of the wind and wished that it would stop blowing. But the wind is a very important part of our weather here on earth. The wind produces clouds and moves precipitation from place to place.
Our Bible Reading today tells us about a time when the wind was blowing very hard on Lake Galilee. Jesus' disciples were in a boat. It was nighttime, and the wind was blowing and making waves on the lake. Suddenly these disciples saw Jesus “walking on the water, coming to the boat” (verse 19). The disciples were afraid! But Jesus told them, “Don't be afraid. It's me” (verse 20b). This was a miracle — something that could only happen by God's power. Jesus did many miracles to help people and to show them that He was truly God's Son.
We can read about Jesus' miracles in the Bible. These help us know for sure that Jesus is the only way we can be saved and live forever with Him. —JK

“There is only one God, and there is only one way that people can reach God. That way is through Christ Jesus.” 1 Timothy 2:5a
