对今日诗句的想法
今天世人最需要听到的是什么？是以生命来诠释我所相信的恩典。彼得劝勉信徒以行善和效法基督来回应反对、讥讽和逼迫。我们在主耶稣里是自由的，然而自由意味着我们不必夸张地证明自己的自由。相反，我们要为主而活。他藉着舍去性命胜过了死亡，又放弃了天国里绝对的自由使我们能够得自由。我们就有自由去服侍人，最重要的是服侍神。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
What does the world most need to see and hear from you and me today? I believe the world needs to see our lives tuned to the melody of grace we claim comes from God in Jesus. Doing good and being like Christ is Peter's answer to opposition, cynicism, and even persecution (1 Peter 3:15-19). We are free in Jesus, but freedom doesn't mean we have to flaunt it pretentiously. Instead, we can live for Jesus, who died to conquer death and renounced the evil one's power over us, to give us heavenly freedom so we could find life in him (Philippians 2:6-11). Like Jesus, we can live as servants to bless others, and we can serve God as we seek to lead others to discover Jesus!
我的祷告
圣洁的天父，我伟大的拯救者，你舍去了你的爱子，救我脱离了罪、律法和死亡。今天，我要向你敞开心灵，向你表明我爱你。我要感谢你奇妙的救赎之恩。我将我日常的行为、口中的言语、心中的意念和内心的情感作为感谢祭献给你，求你接纳。奉你的爱子我的救赎者主耶稣之名求，阿们！
My Prayer...
Holy Father, our great Emancipator, you have freed us from sin, law, and death at the cost of your precious Son. Jesus, we recognize that you gave up your rights and your freedom to serve us and save us. We open our hearts to your grace, forgiveness, and freedom. Thank you for your gift of redemption and the freedom it brings from fear, sin, death, hell, and purposelessness. Please accept the actions of our lives, the words of our mouths, the thoughts of our minds, and the emotions of our hearts today as our offering of thanks as we serve others in the name of Jesus. Amen.
