上帝看重的

上帝看重的
聖經閱讀：詩篇8:1-9 現代中譯本|合和本
2016年9月6日(二)

現今許多人認為老人、弱勢者或是病人並不重要，但是今天閱讀的經文提醒我們，上帝看所有人都重要。
上帝差派耶穌到世上來顯明祂看重我們，彼得前書3:18a告訴我：「因為基督也曾一舉而竟全功地為罪而死，是義的代替不義的，為要把你們帶到上帝面前。」這跟你有多堅強、你是什麼膚色或有多聰明無關，上帝看你是重要的，所以祂差派耶穌為你而死！
今天當你遇見人的時候，不可用他們的外表，或是看他們有多少錢，或穿什麼衣服來論斷他們，你反而要記住，上帝愛他們並賜下祂的愛子來受死，好讓他們的罪可以得赦免並且與祂永遠同住。 —BL

「人算甚麼，你竟顧念他！必朽的人算甚麼，你竟關懷他！然而，你造他僅低於你自己；你用光榮尊貴作他的華冠。」 詩篇8:4b-5

禱告：上帝，當我用錯誤的方式論斷人時，求祢饒恕我。奉耶穌的名，阿們！

Important to God
Bible Reading: Psalm 8:1-9
Tuesday, September 6, 2016

　Many people today think that people who are old or weak or sick are not important. But in our Bible verses today, we are reminded that God thinks all people are important.
God sent Jesus to the earth to show us that we are important to Him. 1 Peter 3:18a tells us, “Christ himself suffered when he died for you, and with that one death he paid for your sins. He was not guilty, but he died for people who are guilty. He did this to bring all of you to God.” It doesn't matter how strong you are, what color your skin is or how smart you are. God thinks you are important, and He sent Jesus to die for you!
When you see other people today, don't judge them by the way they look or how much money they have or the kind of clothes they wear. Instead, remember that God loves them and gave His Son to die so they can have their sins forgiven and live with Him forever. —BL

“Why do you care so much for humans? Why do you even notice them? But you made them almost like gods and crowned them with glory and honor.” Psalm 8:4b-5

PRAYER: God, please forgive me when I judge people in the wrong way. Thank You for loving everyone. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
