对今日诗句的想法
我曾站在朋友、家人和陌生人的坟墓前，所以我明白死亡的终结是什么感受，也知道人类是何等脆弱。然而基督的死却提醒我们死亡是关乎视角和信心的事。我深信神使主耶稣从死里复活，作为我们所信之人初熟的果子。主耶稣活着，不单在灵里活着，他的肉身也活着。因为主耶稣活着，我们也将活着！
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Having stood over the open graves of friends, family, and strangers, I know the feel of death's finality and our human frailty. Christ's death, however, powerfully reminds us that death's hold on us depends on our perspective and faith rooted in the saving work of Jesus. I believe God raised Jesus from the dead and that Jesus is the firstfruits of those of us who believe in him (1 Corinthians 15:20-23). I believe he was raised from the dead, not just in spirit form, but in bodily presence to defeat death and bring us "life and immortality to light" beyond death (2 Timothy 1:10). Because Jesus lives, so will we! No grave could hold him, and because of him, no grave can hold us. And in that new life that is ahead, Jesus will bring us to God, and to each other who believe in him, in glory (1 Thessalonians 4:16-18).
我的祷告
全能的神啊，感谢你所赐的恩典、圣灵、饶恕和生命。最重要的是，感谢你赐下爱子，他的救恩带给我们生命和永生。我并不盼望早日离世，但我知道因着你在基督里赐给我的得胜，我已看透了死亡的真相。求你赐我勇气，让我每日为你而活，直到你接我回天家的那一日。奉主耶稣之名求，阿们！
My Prayer...
Almighty God, thank you for the gifts of your grace, Spirit, forgiveness, and eternal life. Most of all, thanks for the gift of your Son, who brought "life and immortality to light" in me through your salvation. While I have no great desire to die, or go through the process of dying, I know I can look through death to being with you and sharing your victory with me through Jesus. Please give me the courage to live confidently for you each day until the day you take me home to you in glory. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
