《今日靈修默想》:他們(門徒)吃完了早飯,耶穌對西門彼得說:「約翰的兒子西門,你愛我比這些更深嗎?」(約21:15)

默想一:如果主耶穌問你「你愛我嗎?」你能像使徒彼得說「主啊,是的,祢知道我愛祢。」嗎?反省一下,你最近跟神的關係如何?你愛主,但你為祂擺上了多少?你愛主,但你給祂多少時間?你愛主,但你愛祂所愛的嗎?

默想二:你愛主耶穌,但你跟從祂嗎?這不只是意願的問題,而是有沒有行動的問題—你愛神但有愛人嗎?你有信心但有行為嗎?你敬拜神但從心靈和誠實嗎?你奉獻但甘心嗎?你到教會但愛教會嗎?你唱詩但口唱心和讚美主嗎?你禱告但求神的旨意成全嗎?你相信神但順服祂嗎?

禱告:天父上帝,感謝祢神聖的呼召。祢為拯救我傾倒了一切,祢捨命的愛,我怎能忘記?求祢時時提醒我,我願以愛主更深來回報袮,一生跟隨祢、事奉祢、傳揚祢。奉耶穌基督的聖名禱告。阿們!

代禱:為在一線的醫務人員、警察、消防、快遞、治安人員禱告。求主保守他們,賜下平安、力量、信心。求神恩待他們以及他們的家人;也為失去親人的家庭禱告,讓神成為他們的安慰並經歷神醫治的大能。

《Today’s spiritual meditation》:  “When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, ‘Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?’” (Joh 21:15)

Meditation one: if the Lord Jesus asks you, “Do You Love Me”? Can you say, like the apostle Peter, “Lord, yes, You know I love You”.  Have you introspected on your recent relationship with God? You love the Lord, but how much have you committed for Him? You love the Lord, but how much time have you dedicated to Him? You love the Lord, but do you love what He loves?

Meditation two: You love the Lord Jesus, but do you follow Him? It’s not just a matter of will, it’s a question of action – do you love God and also love people? Do you have faith and also have deeds? Do you worship God in spirit and truth? Do you give willingly? Do you go to church and also love the church? Do you sing hymns and also make melody in your heart to the Lord? Do you pray for having God’s will to be fulfilled? Do you believe in God and also obey Him?

Prayer: God heavenly Father, thank You for Your divine calling. For the sake of saving me, You laid down everything. How can I forget Your sacrificing love? Please always remind me so I can requite with loving You more. I will be following You, serving You, and proclaiming You for my entire life. I pray in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ. Amen!

Intercession: Pray for frontline medical staff, police officers, fire fighters, delivery workers, and law and order personnel. Pray that the Lord will keep them safe and give them peace, strength and faith. Pray that God have compassion on them and their families; also pray for families who have lost loved ones, so that God can be their comfort and experience the power of God’s healing.
