《今日靈修默想》:「基督就是我們的和平:祂使雙方合而為一,拆毀了隔在中間的牆,就是以自己的身體除掉雙方的仇恨」(弗2:14 現代譯本)

默想一: 世界有可能和平嗎?自從有聯合國以來,和平的夢想一直無法實現。若想要有真實的、永恆的和平,唯有藉著耶穌基督寶血的功效。世上所有的血都是有罪的,只有沒有罪的耶穌的寶血具有洗淨罪污及赦罪的功效。也只有祂是我們與神與人之間和睦的橋樑。

默想二:今天我們為什麼能在教會/家庭裡彼此和睦相處?因為我們都是被主耶穌基督所造成的新人。照我們人的本相要生活在一起是不可能的,要同心服事主更不用說了。但當我們接受主而成為新造的人時,我們就能在聖靈的幫助下,過肢體相助,愛中連結,彼此建立的生活。

禱告:天父上帝,感謝祢讓我在神國裡有分。因祢所成就的,我不再作外人和客旅,而是與聖徒同國,是神家裡的人了(弗2:19)。求祢幫助我,我願成為祢愛的使者,一生榮耀祢。奉耶穌基督的名禱告。阿們!

《Today’s spiritual meditation》:  “or he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility.” (Eph 2:14)

Meditation one: Is it possible for the world to have peace? Since the establishment of the United Nations, the dream of peace has never been realized. If we want to have a true, eternal peace, the blood of Jesus Christ is the only way. All the blood in this world is sinful, and only through the power of the blood of Jesus that does not have sin can wash away and forgive sins. He is the only bridge of reconciliation between God and men.

Meditation two: Why can we get along with each other in the church/family today? This is because we are all new creatures created by the Lord Jesus Christ. It is not possible to live together according to our own nature, and it is even harder to serve the Lord with one heart. But when we accept the Lord and become new creations, we can help each other with the help of the Holy Spirit to live a life of helping one another, unifying each other in love, and building each other up.

Prayer: God heavenly Father, thank You for letting me become a partaker in the kingdom of God. For what You have accomplished, I am no longer foreigner and stranger, but a fellow citizen with God’s people and also members of His household (Eph 2:19). Please help me to be willing to become the messenger of love, and glorify You with all my life. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen!
