对今日诗句的想法
不要惧怕！什么能够消除面对神荣耀使者时的惧怕呢？喜乐——知道神已经来到世间，带来了对罪与撒但诅咒的终结，为全人类带来了救赎！当我们知道神已经打破一切阻碍，带着他的奇异恩典来到我们中间，惧怕必不能占据我们的心灵。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
"Do not be afraid." That's what the angel of the Lord tells the shepherds as they see him and the glory of the Lord" shining around them. They were terrified because the angel was unexpected, glorious, and overwhelming.
So, what can cast away fear in such a moment of heaven's glorious radiance? The joy of knowing that God has come to earth to end the domination of sin, death, and hell over human existence (Hebrews 2:14-15). God has come himself in Jesus as Immanuel (Matthew 1:23) to end the evil one's curse and bring salvation for all people. Terror must not master our hearts, only holy fear, a deep reverence and awe as we realize that God has broken through every barrier to reach us with his overwhelming grace and presence in Jesus. Yes, we welcome this "news of great joy for all the people," and pledge to share it with the world because the Lord has come!
我的祷告
全能的神啊，我要赞美你！你所赐的喜乐消除了一切恐惧。愿你的喜乐充满我的心。当我试图理解你对我的爱时，你以惊叹充满我的心思意念。对于那些还未听到或还未接受你通过爱子耶稣所赐恩典的人们，愿你激发我内心更深的关切。奉主耶稣之名祈求，阿们！
My Prayer...
We praise you, Almighty God, for the gift of joyous love that chases away all of our fear.* Fill our hearts with your joy and fill our minds with reverent wonder as we lean close to comprehend your love for us. Stir us with greater concern for those who have not heard of your Son's coming, don't understand the power of his love, and have not yet accepted your offer of grace in him. We pray in thanks, joy, and praise for Jesus' coming and his intercession for us as we pray. Amen.
* 1 John 4:18.
