تأملات فى آيــة اليوم...
قد تبدو المشاعر فى هذه الآية غريبة لمعظمكم. لكن بين هؤلاء الذين يدرسون الاضطهاد بعناية، نجد مؤمنين بالمسيح ربما يتحملون و يعانون من اكبر كم من الاضطهاد فى تاريخ المسيحية. اما الذين يعيشون فى اماكن مريحة حيث يوجد تسامح و حرية فى الاعتقادات و حيث يحيا المسيحيون في امان تام ، فعليهم ان يكونوا شاكرين ان حياتهم تصنع ما يكفى من الفرق الذي يتم ملاحظته. لكن فى نفس الوقت، علينا ان نصلى من أجل المؤمنين الاخرين فى باقي انحاء العالم الذين يواجهون غضب الجحيم من أجل ايمانهم.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
For many of us, the sentiments of this verse feel foreign and upside down to the world we know. However, those who have studied the persecution of Jesus' followers over the centuries remind us that current believers in Christ are enduring perhaps the greatest amount of persecution in the history of Christianity. However, many of us live in places where belief is tolerated. Christians are just considered a bit out of touch with reality and a bit naive, but tolerated. However, with worldliness creeping into God's people from every direction, maybe we should be thankful that Christian living makes us different enough from our cultures to be noticed, even if that notice is a bit unfavorable. At the same time, we need to pray for other believers throughout the world who are undergoing grievous trials, struggles for their faith, suffering, abuse, and martyrdom — these are all happening in many places in our world today. Jesus, however, wants all those who suffer for his sake and the sake of the gospel to know they are noticed, loved, and will be blessed by God when he makes all things right!
صلاتي
ايها المخلص العظيم، هناك العديد من الناس الذين ينادون اسمك بايمان بيسوع الذى واجه الاضطهاد والمشقة كل يوم. اصلى ألا يفقدوا ايمانهم. اصلى ان تنجيهم من الاضطهاد. اصلى ان تكون معاناتهم مصدر شهادة قوى لكى يأتي الاخرون ويروا قيمة يسوع العظيمة وولاءنا له. في اسم يسوع الغالى القدوس اصلى. آمين.
My Prayer...
Great Deliverer, many who have faith in Jesus today face daily persecution, abuse, hardship, trials, and even martyrdom. We pray that they do not lose heart and give up their confident faith. We pray that you will bring deliverance from their times of persecution. We pray that their sufferings will be a powerful witness, so others will come to see the great value of Jesus. We pray this in Jesus' precious and holy name. Amen.
