《今日靈修默想》:「你們知道我們主耶穌基督的恩典;祂本來富足,卻為你們成了貧窮,叫你們因祂的貧窮,可以成為富足。」(林後8:9)

默想一:你知道你是世上富足的人嗎?在神面前富足與在人面前富足是不同的。當你明白主耶穌基督在十字架上為你所作的奇異恩典,你會向祂獻上感恩。你無法想像神的愛,竟然臨到我這卑微的人。為此,你不會輕易地把有限的人生花在將歸於無有的事上。

默想二:主耶穌的富足是怎麼變成我們的富足?祂道成肉身來到世上,倒空自己,取了奴僕的形像,順服神的旨意,死在十字架上。我們因信靠祂成為神的兒女。在父神的家裡,祂一切所有的豐盛都是我們的(路15:31)。

禱告:親愛的主,讚美祢,因祢的貧窮使我成為富足。求祢幫助我放下身段,效法祢的貧窮,藉著我的生命帶給別人靈裡的富足,使人因我得著基督的生命,並且得的更豐盛。奉耶穌寶貴的名禱告,阿們!

《Today’s spiritual meditation》:  :  “For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich.” (2Co 8:9)

Meditation one: Do you know that you are rich in this world? Being rich before God is different from being rich before people. When you understand the amazing grace of the Lord Jesus Christ on the cross, you will be grateful to Him. It is hard for you to imagine that God’s love can come to a low estate person like me. For this reason, you will not easily spend your limited life time on things eventually bring to nothing.

Meditation two: How can the richness of the Lord Jesus become our richness? He became flesh and dwelt in this world, emptied Himself, took the form of a servant, followed God’s will, and died on the cross. We become children of God by faith in Him. In God’s house, the abundance of everything God our Father has is ours. (Luk 15:31)

Prayer: Dear Lord, I praise You. Through Your poverty, I become rich. Please help me to put down myself and imitate the poverty of Your life. Through my life, I may bring the spiritual richness to others. Through me, may people have the life of Christ, and have it to the abundantly full. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, Amen!
