《今日靈修默想》:「你們要謹慎,儆醒禱告,因為你們不曉得那日期幾時來到。」(可13:33)

默想一:主耶穌再來為什麼是基督徒最大的盼望?因為再來是祂親自的應許,屆時神的國真正的實現如在天。基督徒在混亂的世代裡,要格外謹慎自守,警醒禱告,免得入了迷惑。曾否想過,主耶穌若今日來,你準備好了嗎?讓我們在基督再來前,多作主工,快傳福音。

默想二:既然基督的再來沒有人知道,天上的使者不知道,甚至聖子耶穌都不知道,惟有天父上帝知道,那我們該怎麼辦?不是花功夫去研究基督再來的時間、兆頭、現象、預言等等,而是花更多的時間在神的話裡面,而非人的話。人的責任並不是推測,而是準備好自己並儆醒。最要緊的,是要確定我們已經在神的國度裡。你有把主耶穌的再來,放在重要的位置上嗎?

禱告:主耶穌,感謝祢再來的應許,這是何等榮耀的盼望。求祢賜我剛強壯膽的心,敢於面對任何屬靈爭戰,讓我不驚慌、不逃避、不退縮、不妥協,直到祢的再來。唯願祢的國度、祢的榮耀和祢的旨意在我的身上自由運行並彰顯。奉主耶穌的名禱告,阿們!

《Today’s spiritual meditation》:  “Be on guard! Be alert! You do not know when that time will come.” (Mar 13:33)

Meditation one: Why is the Lord Jesus’ second coming the greatest hope of Christians? It is because the second coming is His own promise, by then the kingdom of God will truly be fulfilled as in heaven. In this chaos generations, Christians have to be extremely alert, and of sober mind. Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. Have you ever thought that if the Lord Jesus comes today, are you ready? Let us do more Lord’s work and preach the gospel before Christ returns. 

Meditation two: Since no one knows the timing of the return of Christ, the angels in heaven do not know, not even Jesus knows, but only God the Father knows, what should we do? One should not put efforts in the timing, signs, phenomena, and prophecies, etc. regarding Christ’s second coming, but devote more time in the Word of God instead of in the saying of man. Our responsibility is not to speculate, but to prepare ourselves and watch. The most important thing is to make sure that we are already in the kingdom of God. Have you placed the return of the Lord Jesus at a significant position? 

Prayer: Lord Jesus, thank You for the promise of Your second coming, what a glorious hope. Give me a strong and courageous heart, and dare to face any spiritual warfare, so that I will not be panic, or dodge, or flinch, or compromise until Your return. I only wish that Your kingdom, Your glory, and Your will can freely work within me and manifest in me. I pray in the name of the Lord Jesus, Amen!
