Take Up Your Cross and Follow Jesus
W5 2011-04-01 (太16)
經文: 馬太福音 16:25-26 因為,凡要救自己生命(生命:譯靈魂;下同)的,必喪掉生命;凡為我喪掉生命的,必得著生命。人若賺得全世界,賠上自己的生命,有什麼益處呢?人還能拿什麼換生命呢?
默想: 主耶穌這裡教導我們,有關我們生命的逆理 (paradox)。生命是上帝所賞賜給我們非常寶貴的禮物。這個禮物是緊抓就會失去,為主放下的人,反而會得到生命到永生。生命是無價的禮物,是無法商品化或價格化,是無可取代的。求主幫助我,會寶貝珍惜你所賞賜給我的生命。讓我學會將自己的生命獻上給主用,當作活祭,是聖潔的,是會察驗上帝的心意,活出討神喜悅的見證。好讓我的生命,能夠被主接入永生的帳幕裡。
題目: 對於求神蹟你有何看法?曾否這樣的經驗?有何期待與感受。
Many non-Christians asked me for a sign so they would believe in Him. But I couldn’t share with them mine but others’. I decided to be a Christian not because of a sign shown to me but because of pure belief. It is said, “…blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed” (Joh 20:29). What an inspiring verse!
回覆刪除I believe there is a sign from heaven, but you must believe that is a true, and then that is a true. While I want to give up something, some sound always reminds me that you must keep it and then the grace of God will happen.
回覆刪除May
『一個邪惡淫亂的世代求神蹟,除了約拿的神蹟以外,再沒有神蹟給他看。』
回覆刪除約拿的神蹟對約拿而言是一個生命的轉變,從抗拒神的人成為順服神的人。
約拿的神蹟對尼尼微人而言是一個救贖的恩典,過去所犯的罪因著悔改而得赦免。
