《今日靈修默想》:「你們既然接受了主基督耶穌,就當遵他而行, 在他裡面生根建造,信心堅固,正如你們所領的教訓,感謝的心也更增長了。」(西2:6-7)

默想一:『主耶穌基督』所代表意義是什麼?表明耶穌基督的權威和地位,我們與祂是主人與僕人的關係。我們接受主,不僅是接受祂作我們的救主。更是要將我們人生的主權完全交付給祂,由祂掌管我們的一切。主怎麼做,我們也怎麼做。

默想二:你還記得第一次決志信主的心境嗎?但那並不能證明你得救。真正能證明你得救的是你信主之後所活出來的新生命。有生命的信仰會渴慕神,他會積極地追求長進,願在神的話語上下工夫。他的渴慕會使他經歷神的豐富,並發現愈認識神,就愈喜樂;愈喜樂,愈感恩。可見一個基督徒的喜樂與感恩是跟他的信心的成長有關。

禱告:全能的父上帝,感謝袮。因袮本性一切的豐盛,都有形有體地居住在基督裡面,我們在祂裡面也得了豐盛(西2:9)。為了要更深地認識袮,追求靈命進深,我願把每日靈修列為我生活的第一優先,並持之以恆。奉耶穌基督的名禱告,阿們!

《Today’s spiritual meditation》:  “So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.” (Col 2:6-7)

Meditation one: What does the “Lord Jesus Christ” mean? It represents the authority and status of Jesus Christ, and our relationship with Him is the master and servant. We accept the Lord not only to accept Him as our Savior. More importantly, we must fully entrust the sovereignty of our lives to Him, and let Him reign everything we have. Whatever the Lord does, we do it accordingly.

Meditation two: Do you remember your mind when you first determined to believe in the Lord? But that does not prove that you are saved. What really proves that you are saved is the renewed life you live out after believing in the Lord. A living faith will long for God, will actively pursue to grow, and is willing to strive after God’s Word diligently. The longing will bring the experience of God’s fullness and discover that the more one knows God, the more the joy will be; with more joy, brings more thankfulness. It is clear that a Christian’s joy and thankfulness are in line with the growth of the faith.

Prayer: God Almighty Father, thank You. For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form (Col 2:9). In order to know You more and pursue deeper in spiritual life, I am willing to make daily meditation as my first priority in everyday life, and persevere. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!
