星象家 (2)
聖經閱讀：馬太福音2:1-12現代中譯本|合和本

　馬太福音2:10跟我們談到東方來的星象家：「他們看見那顆星，真是歡欣快樂。」當星象家看見那顆星時，他們歡喜快樂，他們很高興上帝揀選他們看見耶穌誕生的記號。
我可以想像當星象家告訴希律王新的猶太王誕生的事時，他們是開心的，他們最後找到耶穌並敬拜祂時也一定非常高興。
身為基督徒，我們的罪已經得赦免，我們跟上帝永遠隔絶的生命也被拯救了，我們應該要感到很高興耶穌願意為我們受死，也要感到興奮可以親近耶穌並向人傳講祂的福音。
我們有很多方法可以向上帝表達我們的喜悅之情，我們可以用手語唱歌、吟詩、跳舞或是用手語來敬拜，我們可以去服事人，我們也可以禱告。
今天你要如何向上帝表達你的歡喜快樂呢？ —GT

「你會指示我生命的道路。在你面前，我滿有喜樂；在你身邊，我有永遠的幸福。」 詩篇16:11

禱告：親愛的上帝，求祢幫助我在祢和祢愛子裡面歡喜快樂。奉耶穌的名，阿們！

(李信儀譯)

Wise Men (2)
Bible Reading: Matthew 2:1-12
Friday, December 9, 2016

　Matthew 2:10 tells us about the wise men. “They were happy and excited to see the star.” When the wise men saw the star, they rejoiced. They were happy that God had chosen them to see the sign about Jesus' birth.
I can imagine that the wise men were joyful when they told King Herod about the birth of a new king. And they must have been very happy to finally find Jesus and worship Him.
As Christians, our sins are forgiven and we are saved from eternal separation from God. We should be very happy that Jesus was willing to die for us. We should also be excited to be close to Jesus and tell other people about Him.
There are many ways we can express our happiness to God. We can sign songs and poems, dance or sing as we worship. We can serve other people. And we can pray.
How will you show your happiness to God today? —GT

“You will teach me the right way to live. Just being with you will bring complete happiness. Being at your right side will make me happy forever.” Psalm 16:11

PRAYER: Dear God, help me to rejoice in You and Your Son, Jesus. In Jesus' name. Amen.
