对今日诗句的想法
永恒并非新事，而成为主耶稣的样式则彻底、永远是新的。当主耶稣从死里复活，我们也得到了保证，死亡不再掌控我们。真正关键的死亡，是我们在洗礼中与主耶稣同死。若我们与主同死，必定与主同活(参见罗马书6：1-14)。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Being eternal is nothing new; God made us that way, in the beginning, for fellowship with him. Being like Jesus (1 John 3:1-3) completely, eternally, will be new. When Jesus' lifeless body was placed in the ground, our lives with God, forever in glory, hung in the balance with him. Praise God. The Spirit of God revived Jesus from his death sleep. Jesus' resurrection also ensures our own, because our lives are hid with Christ in God (Colossians 3:1-4), that death can no longer claim us. The only death that really matters for us is dying to our sin, through faith in baptism with Jesus (Romans 6:4). If we have shared in that death, we will most certainly share in his resurrection (Romans 6:5). Jesus was "the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep." This means that because God raised Jesus from the dead, we too can be confident that we "will be made alive" in Christ and live with him forever. His resurrection forever guarantees our own (Romans 8:11). Praise God!
我的祷告
伟大的全能神啊，因着你的恩典和主耶稣的复活，我深知自己将得见你的面。愿你帮助我，使我能够活出复活的生命，更像主耶稣。奉复活的主耶稣之名祈求，阿们！
My Prayer...
Almighty and graciously powerful God, I praise you. I praise you today because of your grace given to me through the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. I know I will see you face-to-face and share in your glory.* Help me now to live that resurrected life before others, as the Holy Spirit transforms me each day into greater and glorious likeness to Jesus.** In the name of my risen Lord I pray. Amen.
* 1 John 3:1-3 & Colossians 3:1-4.
** 2 Corinthians 3:18.
