1/10/2022 人子来

路19:10

人子来、为要寻找拯救失丧的人。

For the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost."

主耶稣！祢来的目的, 所要做的工, 和所要成就的事, 祢都非常清楚。祢来了, 成就神一切的工, 将我们寻见, 拯救, 差派。主啊！我要更加认识神, 我求圣灵更多的感动, 也要操练与主圣灵同工, 积极地去寻找拯救失丧的灵魂。

30/9/2022 行动派

路19:5,6,8

耶稣到了那里、抬头一看、对他说、撒该、快下来、今天我必住在你家里。他就急忙下来、欢欢喜喜的接待耶稣。撒该站着、对主说、主阿、我把所有的一半给穷人．我若讹诈了谁、就还他四倍。

When Jesus came to the place, he looked up and saw him, and said to him, "Zacchaeus, hurry and come down, for today I must stay at your house." He hurried, came down, and received him joyfully. Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, "Behold, Lord, half of my goods I give to the poor. If I have wrongfully exacted anything of anyone, I restore four times as much."

主耶稣！我看到一组的对话, 快下来和急忙下来。我也看到撒该早有预备。在人眼中的撒该, 是个罪人, 在神眼中, 是神所寻找的人。主啊！求圣灵时常开启我心中的眼睛来看人, 求圣灵感动我, 我相信这时代有许多像撒该的人, 他们就在我们的身边。

29/9/2022 要看耶稣

路19:2-3

有一个人名叫撒该、作税吏长、是个财主。他要看看耶稣是怎样的人．只因人多、他的身量又矮、所以不得看见。就跑到前头、爬上桑树、要看耶稣、因为耶稣必从那里经过。

There was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector, and he was rich. He was trying to see who Jesus was, and couldn't because of the crowd, because he was short. He ran on ahead, and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was to pass that way.

主耶稣！撒该听闻有祢, 心中就起了意念, 要看到祢, 那天终于有机会见到祢, 虽然困难重重, 却是很有创意, 克服障碍。主啊！我要效法撒该的心志, 面对艰难时, 要尽一切努力, 寻求突破, 尤其是对神的事, 要看到神的荣耀。

28/9/2022 我要坚信的心志

路18:38-42

他就呼叫说、大卫的子孙耶稣阿、可怜我吧。在前头走的人、就责备他、不许他作声．他却越发喊叫说、大卫的子孙、可怜我吧。耶稣站住、吩咐把他领过来．到了跟前、就问他说、你要我为你作甚么．他说、主阿、我要能看见。耶稣说、你可以看见．你的信救了你了。

He cried out, "Jesus, you son of David, have mercy on me!" Those who led the way rebuked him, that he should be quiet; but he cried out all the more, "You son of David, have mercy on me!" Standing still, Jesus commanded him to be brought to him. When he had come near, he asked him, "What do you want me to do?" He said, "Lord, that I may see again." Jesus said to him, "Receive your sight. Your faith has healed you.”

主耶稣！我看到瞎眼病人要视觉得到恢复的坚决。我发现, 许多时候我向父神祈求, 很容易放弃。主啊！我承认, 我缺乏坚信的心志, 求圣灵帮助我, 我要坚定不移的信心。

27/9/2022 自相分争自取灭亡

可3:22-26

从耶路撒冷下来的文士说、他是被别西卜附着．又说、他是靠着鬼王赶鬼。耶稣叫他们来、用比喻对他们说、撒但怎能赶出撒但呢。若一家自相分争、那家就站立不住。若一国自相分争、那国就站立不住。若撒但自相攻打分争、他就站立不住、必要灭亡。

The scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, "He has Beelzebul," and, "By the prince of the demons he casts out the demons." He summoned them, and said to them in parables, "How can Satan cast out Satan?

If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand. If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. If Satan has risen up against himself, and is divided, he can't stand, but has an end.

主耶稣！谢谢祢的教诲, 我在思想, 自相分争必自取灭亡, 这是人人都晓得的自然道理, 为什么今天许多夫妻仍旧要自相分争。主啊！求祢赐给我们有敬畏神的心, 有属天温柔的智慧, 拥有彼此相爱的力量, 远远大过彼此相争。

26/9/2022 在人所不能的事

路18:24-27

耶稣看见他就说、有钱财的人进神的国、是何等的难哪。骆驼穿过针的眼、比财主进神的国、还容易呢。听见的人说、这样、谁能得救呢。耶稣说、在人所不能的事、在神却能。

Jesus, seeing that he became very sad, said, "How hard it is for those who have riches to enter into the Kingdom of God!

For it is easier for a camel to enter in through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of God." Those who heard it said, "Then who can be saved?" But he said, "The things which are impossible with men are possible with God."

主耶稣！在神凡事都能, 我想到的是, 人不可能永远不死, 神却是说, 在神那里有永生。主啊！我的思维不再聚焦只相信在人不能做到的事, 而是要把信心聚焦在神凡事都能。

24/9/2022 让小孩子到我这里来

路18:15-16

有人抱着自己的婴孩、来见耶稣、要他摸他们．门徒看见就责备那些人。耶稣却叫他们来、说、让小孩子到我这里来、不要禁止他们．因为在神国的、正是这样的人。

They were also bringing their babies to him, that he might touch them. But when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them. Jesus summoned them, saying, "Allow the little children to come to me, and don't hinder them, for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

主耶稣！祢说, 让小孩子到我这里来。我看到的是, 小孩子在祢眼中, 有特殊的地位。 主啊！求圣灵启示教会的领袖, 从神的角度去看儿童在教会的重要角色。求圣灵也启示父母, 认识神对小孩的爱。

23/9/2022 仗着自己是义人

路18:9-14

耶稣向那些仗着自己是义人、藐视别人的、设一个比喻、说、有两个人上殿里去祷告．一个是法利赛人、一个是税吏。法利赛人站着、自言自语的祷告说、神阿、我感谢你、我不像别人、勒索、不义、奸淫、也不像这个税吏。我一个礼拜禁食两次、凡我所得的、都捐上十分之一。那税吏远远的站着、连举目望天也不敢、只捶着胸说、神阿、开恩可怜我这个罪人。我告诉你们、这人回家去、比那人倒算为义了．因为凡自高的、必降为卑．自卑的、必升为高。

He spoke also this parable to certain people who were convinced of their own righteousness, and who despised all others. "Two men went up into the temple to pray; one was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector. The Pharisee stood and prayed to himself like this: 'God, I thank you, that I am not like the rest of men, extortioners, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week. I give tithes of all that I get.' But the tax collector, standing far away, wouldn't even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful to me, a sinner!' I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted."

主耶稣！我在思考, 信主多年以后, 不知不觉, 会不会倾向仗着自己是义人。什么时候我觉得比别人更有善心, 更有信心, 更有爱心, 主啊！在当下, 求主及时让我看见, 我在许多的事上, 亏缺了神的荣耀, 求主赦免。

22/9/2022 祷告不灰心

路18:1,7

耶稣设一个比喻、是要人常常祷告、不可灰心．..神的选民、昼夜呼吁他、他纵然为他们忍了多时、岂不终久给他们伸冤么。

He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray, and not give up,..Won't God avenge his chosen ones, who are crying out to him day and night, and yet he exercises patience with them?

主耶稣！感谢祢的教诲, 教导我们祷告不灰心, 要常常祷告。主啊！我向神祷告, 是凭信心祈求, 也要凭信心凡事感恩, 且要用耐心等候。

21/9/2022 到底要的是什么

路17:32

你们要回想罗得的妻子。凡想要保全生命的、必丧掉生命．凡丧掉生命的、必救活生命。

Remember Lot's wife! Whoever seeks to save his life loses it, but whoever loses his life preserves it.

主耶稣！我在思想, 我的一生到底要的是什么？有什么是我放不下的？什么是我生命中不可少的？我看到的是, 灵魂比身体重要, 家人比朋友重要, 温馨家庭比房产重要, 家人的优质时间比上餐馆享受美食重要。主啊！我要的是在基督里面的生命, 圣灵中的和平, 和喜乐。不可少的是行公义, 好怜悯, 存谦卑的心与神同行。

20/9/2022 人子的日子

路17:26-30

挪亚的日子怎样、人子的日子也要怎样。那时候的人又吃又喝、又娶又嫁、到挪亚进方舟的那日、洪水就来、把他们全都灭了。又好象罗得的日子．人又吃又喝、又买又卖、又耕种、又盖造．到罗得出所多玛的那日、就有火与硫磺从天上降下来、把他们全都灭了。人子显现的日子、也要这样。

As it happened in the days of Noah, even so will it be also in the days of the Son of Man. They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ship, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. Likewise, even as it happened in the days of Lot: they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built; but in the day that Lot went out from Sodom, it rained fire and sulfur from the sky, and destroyed them all. It will be the same way in the day that the Son of Man is revealed.

主耶稣！挪亚和罗得, 那时代道德沦丧, 生活只是为了吃喝, 嫁娶, 买卖, 耕种盖造。我留心看这个时代, 与他们那时代相差不远, 主啊！求圣灵保守我的心思意念, 不以地上的事为念, 更多思想天上的事。

19/9/2022 人子降临的日子

路17:23-24

人将要对你们说、看哪、在那里．看哪、在这里．你们不要出去、也不要跟随他们．因为人子在他降临的日子、好象闪电、从天这边一闪、直照到天那边。

They will tell you, 'Look, here!' or 'Look, there!' Don't go away, nor follow after them, for as the lightning, when it flashes out of the one part under the sky, shines to the other part under the sky; so will the Son of Man be in his day.

主耶稣！许多自称为先知的, 发出预言关于祢回来的日子, 会有什么现象, 有的还计算出祢什么时候会回来。祢告诉我们, 没有人知道祢什么时候再回来。主啊！每当看见天空出现闪电, 我已经得到启示, 看到异象, 我就要告诉自己, 要儆醒, 预备迎接祢的回来。

18/9/2022 归荣耀与神的心

路17:15-18

内中有一个见自己已经好了、就回来大声归荣耀与神．又俯伏在耶稣脚前感谢他．这人是撒玛利亚人。耶稣说、洁净了的不是十个人么．那九个在哪里呢。除了这外族人、再没有别人回来归荣耀与神么。

One of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice. He fell on his face at Jesus' feet, giving him thanks; and he was a Samaritan. Jesus answered, "Weren't the ten cleansed? But where are the nine? Were there none found who returned to give glory to God, except this stranger?"

主耶稣！十个长大麻疯的病人, 只有一个回来归荣耀给神。我的心里有一种的感受, 好像神在我身上, 赐给我许多的祝福, 我只为其中的一件来感谢神的感觉。主啊！求祢赦免我, 有些地方像九个长大麻疯的病人, 蒙神祝福, 却没有归荣耀给神的心。

17/9/2022 去的时候就洁净了

路17:12-14

进入一个村子、有十个长大痲疯的迎面而来、远远的站着。高声说、耶稣、夫子、可怜我们吧。耶稣看见、就对他们说、你们去把身体给祭司察看。他们去的时候就洁净了。

As he entered into a certain village, ten men who were lepers met him, who stood at a distance. They lifted up their voices, saying, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!" When he saw them, he said to them, "Go and show yourselves to the priests." It happened that as they went, they were cleansed.

主耶稣！我看见痲疯病人信心, 他们以简单的信心, 遵从你的指示。主啊！这是我所需要的, 简单的信心, 相信你的话, 也要遵照你的指示去行, 不是等到看见才去行 。

16/9/2022 求主加增我们的信心

路17:3-5

你们要谨慎．若是你的弟兄得罪你、就劝戒他．他若懊悔、就饶恕他。倘若他一天七次得罪你、又七次回转说、我懊悔了、你总要饶恕他。使徒对主说、求主加增我们的信心。

Be careful. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him. If he repents, forgive him. If he sins against you seven times in the day, and seven times returns, saying, 'I repent,' you shall forgive him." The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith."

主耶稣！我想到, 我们何尝不是常常得罪神, 常来到神面前, 祈求神的赦免吗？主啊！求主加增我们的信心, 相信神饶恕我们的过犯之恩, 我们也要以同样的信心去饶恕那得罪我们的人。

15/9/2022 绊倒人的有祸了

路17:1-2

耶稣又对门徒说、绊倒人的事是免不了的．但那绊倒人的有祸了。就是把磨石拴在这人的颈项上、丢在海里、还强如他把这小子里的一个绊倒了。

He said to the disciples, "It is impossible that no occasions of stumbling should come, but woe to him through whom they come! It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, rather than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble.

主耶稣！我想起, 有圣经老师, 教会领袖, 他们晚节不保, 绊倒了许多信心比较弱的基督徒。主啊！今早的经文, 再次的提醒我, 要更谨慎度日, 在凡事上, 行事为人, 直到年老言行举止上, 都要荣耀神的名。

14/9/2022 信心不是凭眼见

路16:31

亚伯拉罕说、若不听从摩西和先知的话、就是有一个从死里复活的、他们也是不听劝。

"He said to him, 'If they don't listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if one rises from the dead.'"

主耶稣！经上说, 神的事情, 人所能知道的, 原显明在人心里, 因为神已经给他们显明。我回想, 对于神的事情, 信徒常犯的错误是要看见才相信。主啊！在这黑暗荒谬的时代, 我要更多的相信经上所说的, 且要听从神的话。

13/9/2022 神的标准

路16:18

凡休妻另娶的、就是犯奸淫．娶被休之妻的、也是犯奸淫。

Everyone who divorces his wife, and marries another, commits adultery. He who marries one who is divorced from a husband commits adultery.

主耶稣！圣经上说婚姻是神所设立的, 神憎恶离婚。主啊！求祢赦免我们偏行己路的罪, 求祢施恩, 拯救破裂的家庭, 求圣灵感动丈夫和妻子的心, 有力量悔改, 归回, 有智慧能力重建家园。

12/9/2022 神看为可憎恶的

路16:15

耶稣对他们说、你们是在人面前自称为义的．你们的心、神却知道．因为人所尊贵的是神看为可憎恶的。

He said to them, "You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts. For that which is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God.

主耶稣！我反复思想, 祢说, 人所尊贵的是神看为可憎恶的, 包括了什么？世人看为尊贵的, 所夸的是他们的身份, 权势, 财富, 才能, 手中所拥有的。 这一切若是用在不公义, 不公正的事上, 反成了他们的败坏。主啊！我祈求, 有敬畏神的智慧使用神加给我在地上的尊贵。

11/9/2022 藐视祢的教诲

路16:13-14

一个仆人不能事奉两个主．不是恶这个爱那个、就是重这个轻那个．你们不能又事奉神、又事奉玛门。法利赛人是贪爱钱财的、他们听见这一切话、就嗤笑耶稣。

No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. You aren't able to serve God and mammon." The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they scoffed at him.

主耶稣！那时代贪爱钱财的人, 如何嗤笑祢的话, 我们也有同样的过犯, 就是藐视祢的教诲。主啊！求祢赦免我们不重视真理的罪。

10/9/2022 你们自己的东西

路16:12

倘若你们在别人的东西上不忠心、谁还把你们自己的东西给你们呢。

If you have not been faithful in that which is another's, who will give you that which is your own?

主耶稣！我想起, 祢说、你们所听的要留心, 你们用甚么量器量给人, 也必用甚么量器量给你们, 并且要多给你们。因为有的, 还要给他, 没有的, 连他所有的也要夺去。我们什么时候不忠心, 连自己的东西也会失去。主啊！感谢你的教诲, 我要向家人忠心, 向我问责的上位者忠心。

9/9/2022 不义的钱财

路16:9-11

我又告诉你们、要借着那不义的钱财、结交朋友．到了钱财无用的时候、他们可以接你们到永存的帐幕里去。人在最小的事上忠心、在大事上也忠心．在最小的事上不义、在大事上也不义。倘若你们在不义的钱财上不忠心、谁还把那真实的钱财托付你们呢。

I tell you, make for yourselves friends by means of unrighteous mammon, so that when you fail, they may receive you into the eternal tents. He who is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much. He who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much. If therefore you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?

主耶稣！今天的经文, 让我想到不义的钱财在全世界的运作, 尤其是在金融市场。主啊！我祈求圣灵的感动, 对不义, 不合法的钱财有更高的敏锐度, 在管理钱财上更多有敬畏神的智慧。

8/9/2022 浪费主人的财物

路16:1

耶稣又对门徒说、有一个财主的管家．别人向他主人告他浪费主人的财物。主人叫他来、对他说、我听见你这事怎么样呢．把你所经管的交代明白。因你不能再作我的管家。

He also said to his disciples, "There was a certain rich man who had a manager. An accusation was made to him that this man was wasting his possessions. He called him, and said to him, 'What is this that I hear about you? Give an accounting of your management, for you can no longer be manager.'

主耶稣！我是神恩赐, 和祝福的管家, 包括了智慧, 知识, 和财物, 我在反思, 我有没有浪费神所赐给我的这一切。主啊！我要更多审查所做的一切, 更多发挥神所赐的恩赐, 去祝福更多有需要的人。

7/9/2022 无知的儿子

路15:31

父亲对他说、儿阿、你常和我同在、我一切所有的、都是你的。

"He said to him, 'Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours.

主耶稣！父亲对大儿子所说的, 今天我们都听见了。主啊！我们活在蒙恩蒙福中, 仍然像以色列人在旷野一样, 很容易的抱怨, 总是觉得受到不公平的待遇。求主赦免我的无知。

6/9/2022 父亲连连与他亲嘴

路15:17,18,20

他醒悟过来、就说、我父亲有多少的雇工、口粮有余、我倒在这里饿死么．我要起来、到我父亲那里去、向他说、父亲、我得罪了天、又得罪了你。于是起来往他父亲那里去。相离还远、他父亲看见、就动了慈心、跑去抱着他的颈项、连连与他亲嘴。

But when he came to himself he said, 'How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough to spare, and I'm dying with hunger! I will get up and go to my father, and will tell him, "Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in your sight. "He arose, and came to his father. But while he was still far off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.

主耶稣！经上形容浪子回头, 父亲连连与他亲嘴。这一幕让我看到天父的爱。主啊！我想像, 那一天, 当我见父面的时候, 天父同样会动了慈心, 将我抱在怀中。想到这一切, 我的心有说不出奇妙的感觉。

5/9/2022 任意放荡, 浪费资财

路15:11-13

耶稣又说、一个人有两个儿子。小儿子对父亲说、父亲、请你把我应得的家业分给我．他父亲就把产业分给他们。过了不多几日、小儿子就把他一切所有的、都收拾起来、往远方去了．在那里任意放荡、浪费资财。

He said, "A certain man had two sons. The younger of them said to his father, 'Father, give me my share of your property.' He divided his livelihood between them. Not many days after, the younger son gathered all of this together and traveled into a far country. There he wasted his property with riotous living.

主耶稣！在我脑海里, 出现任意放荡, 浪费资财的一幕又一幕景象。将天父所赐给的资财, 才能, 健康, 家庭, 亲情, 给毁掉。主啊！求天父赦免我们任意放荡, 浪费资财的过犯。求圣灵光照, 赐给我们灵里儆醒的恩典, 叫我们不再重犯。

4/9/2022 满足的的欢喜快乐

路15:6-7

就请朋友邻舍来、对他们说、我失去的羊已经找着了、你们和我一同欢喜吧。我告诉你们、一个罪人悔改、在天上也要这样为他欢喜、较比为九十九个不用悔改的义人、欢喜更大。

When he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!' I tell you that even so there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over ninety-nine righteous people who need no repentance.

主耶稣！我看到有地上和天上欢喜, 那是就大的欢喜。主啊！我要更多经历到地上和天上欢喜, 我要的是看到地上迷失的人归回到天父的怀抱中,  那是满足的的欢喜快乐。

3/9/2022 把九十九只撇在旷野

路15:4-6

你们中间谁有一百只羊、失去一只、不把这九十九只撇在旷野、去找那失去的羊直到找着呢。找着了、就欢欢喜喜的扛在肩上、回到家里。就请朋友邻舍来、对他们说、我失去的羊已经找着了、你们和我一同欢喜吧。

"Which of you men, if you had one hundred sheep, and lost one of them, wouldn't leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one that was lost, until he found it? When he has found it, he carries it on his shoulders, rejoicing. When he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!'

主耶稣！一般来说, 牧羊人不会为了寻回失去一头羊, 把其他的羊撇在旷野。但是, 牧羊人深爱羊的心, 催促他去冒险。主啊！我们明白了, 我们爱神也会爱失丧的灵魂, 就要去找寻迷失方向的人。
