对今日诗句的想法
主耶稣基督的福音——就是我们盼望、救赎以及信心的根基。这就是使徒们最初所传讲并在早期教会中传播的福音。当今世界有如此之多的困惑与冲突,我们必须归回并且回想单纯的信心——主耶稣的死、埋葬与复活。我们必须将心灵合一,脱离各样导致教会、团契分裂的想法与事件,聆听那古老的旋律“我单单依靠你的十字架”。今天,就让我们提醒自己——主耶稣那单纯的福音并以此为我们生命的根基。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
The pure Gospel of Jesus Christ is our hope, salvation, and foundation for faith. The first century apostles passed on this Gospel to early believers as eyewitnesses of Jesus. Many backed up their testimony with their lives. We must regularly remind ourselves of this early faith centered on Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:1-7). With such a pure and clear Gospel, we can joyously live the words of the old hymn, Rock of Ages: "Nothing in my hands I bring, Simply to Thy Cross I cling." We take our stand with the apostle Paul when he stated to the Corinthians:
For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, and then to the Twelve. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers and sisters at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born (1 Corinthians 15:3-7).
我的祷告
全能而可贵的天父啊,我爱你!你的慈爱与恩典通过主耶稣做出了强有力的表达,我的感谢远不能及。我深知自己信心与生命的根基就是你爱子的福音。感谢你赐予我单纯却坚实、确定的福音。奉主耶稣之名祈求,阿们!
My Prayer...
Almighty and Precious Father, I love you. I cannot begin to thank you enough for your love and grace, which you displayed so powerfully to me in Jesus. I know the basis of my hope and the foundation on which I build my life is the Gospel of your dear Son. Thank you for giving me something so simple, steadfast, and sure based on the eyewitness testimony, people willing to back up their words with their lives. In Jesus' name, I thank you. Amen.
