《今日靈修默想》:耶穌說:「我就是生命的糧。到我這裡來的,必定不餓;信我的,永遠不渴。」(約6:35)

默想一:耶穌所賜的「生命的糧」為什麼跟一般的糧不一樣?因為祂所賜的糧是「必定不餓」與「永遠不渴」。世人已嘗盡了各種方法要填滿人的空虛,但都無法滿足,吃了再餓,喝了再渴。唯有耶穌能滿足人的心靈, 因為祂是生命的糧。

默想二:你吃喝的目的是什麼?是為了求生存,還是為了求生活?可悲的是,有許多人只為生存,卻沒有生命;只為肉體的飽足,卻沒有生命的意義。唯有耶穌基督是人生的滿足,耶穌說:「我來了,是要叫羊(或作人)得生命,並且得的更豐盛」(約10:10b)。你只管來信靠祂,祂會拯救你到底。

禱告:阿爸父神,感謝祢在基督裡所賜的生命的糧。因著祢的救恩,我有份於祢應許的永生—不餓、不渴、不死的生命。求祢幫助我,讓我日日勤讀祢的話如鹿切慕溪水,並活出袮豐盛的生命。奉耶穌基督的名禱告,阿們!

《Today’s spiritual meditation》:  “Then Jesus declared, ‘I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.’” (Joh 6”35)

Meditation one: Why is “the bread of life” that Jesus granted different from our daily food? For the bread He granted will “never go hungry ” and “never be thirsty”. The worldly people have tried all kinds of ways in order to fill people’s emptiness, but cannot be satisfied, eat and then hungry, drink and then thirsty again. Only Jesus can fulfill people’s souls, for He is the bread of life.

Meditation two: What is the purpose of your eating and drinking? Is it for survival, or for life? Sadly, there are many people who just exist and have no life. It is merely to satisfy the needs of flesh but no meaningful purpose of life. Only Jesus Christ is the fulfilment of life. Jesus has promised that “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full” (John 10:10b). You simply come and trust Him, He is able to save you to the uttermost.

Prayer: Abba heavenly Father, thank You for the bread of life that you granted to me in Christ. Because of Your salvation, I can become partaker of the eternal life You promised – no longer hungry, thirsty, and will never die. Help me Lord, let me have a longing soul for Your words as a deer pants for streams of water, and live out Your abundant life. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!
