　我有一份從曾祖母流傳下來、製作巧克力豆餅乾的食譜，我已經做很多次這種餅乾，現在已經把食譜背下來了。
但是我知道，不可以漏掉食譜中的任何一種原料，如果漏掉了什麼，做出來的餅乾就跟我曾祖母做的不一樣了，如果我確實按照食譜來做，我知道餅乾會很好吃！
今天讀的經文跟我們談到耶穌的受洗，在第15節，耶穌說：「現在就這樣做吧，因為這樣做是實行上帝的要求。」耶穌希望遵從上帝做對的事，為什麼呢？因為祂希望蒙上帝喜悅。
我很仔細按照曾祖母的食譜來做餅乾，同樣的道理，我們也要仔細研讀聖經並遵行上帝在我們生命中的計劃。 —MP*

「但是，嚴密查考那完整又使人得自由的法則而謹守的人，不是聽了就忘掉，而是切實行道的人；這樣的人在他所做的事上一定蒙上帝賜福。」 雅各書1:25

禱告：親愛的上帝，求祢讓我知道如何遵從祢。奉耶穌的名，阿們！

(尤榮輝譯)

Jesus' Life (3)
Bible Reading: Matthew 3:13-17
Saturday, October 15, 2016

　I have a delicious chocolate chip cookie recipe that was passed down to me from my great-grandma. I have made these cookies so many times that now I have the recipe memorized.
But I have learned that I should never miss one single ingredient of the recipe. If I do, the cookies will turn out differently than my great-grandma's cookies. If I follow the recipe exactly, I know that the cookies will be delicious!
Our Bible Reading today tells us about Jesus' baptism. In verse 15 Jesus said, “We should do whatever God says is right.” Jesus wanted to obey God and do what is right. Why? Because He wanted to please God. This is a good example for us. We should always try to do what is right.
I am careful to follow my grandma's cookie recipe. In the same way, we should be careful to study the Bible and follow God's plan for our lives. —MP*

“But when you look into God's perfect law that sets people free, pay attention to it. If you do what it says, you will have God's blessing. Never just listen to his teaching and forget what you heard.” James 1:25

PRAYER: Dear God, show me how I can obey You. Thank You. In Jesus' name. Amen.
