对今日诗句的想法
“罪人的朋友”。在主耶稣所有的称呼中，我相信这是主耶稣最喜悦的称呼。细想一下，我相信这耶稣我最喜爱的称呼！
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Jesus' opponents said that he was "a friend of tax collectors and sinners" (Luke 7:34). Of all the things people called Jesus, I believe that was one of his favorites. Come to think of it, I believe it's my favorite, too! Jesus came to seek and save all of us who are lost because God wanted us to find salvation in Jesus (John 3:16-17). He did this when we were "powerless," "ungodly," "sinners," and "God's enemies" (Romans 5:6, 8, 10). So, let's praise God that Jesus is not only "a friend of tax collectors and sinners,", but he also came to be our friend, to save us, and to bring us back to God (Romans 5:10; 2 Corinthians 5:20),
我的祷告
天父啊，我知道你恨恶罪，以及罪在我们生命中的破坏。感谢你来到世间做我们的救主，而非降下审判。你是我们的朋友。我承诺，今天要更加领悟你对失丧之人的爱，因我知道被寻回的意义。奉主耶稣之名祈求，阿们！
My Prayer...
Almighty God, while I know you hate sin and the havoc it creates in our lives, I am so thankful that when you came to earth as Jesus, Immanuel, God with us,* you were not our judge but our Savior. You came to make us your friends and family.** I promise to live today more aware of your love for the lost because I know what it means to be found by you. Thank you! Praise you! I pray in deep appreciation for all you have done and by the power of Jesus' name. Amen.
* John 1:14-18; Matthew 1:23; Hebrews 1:1-3.
** John 15:15; Mark 3:33-34.
