《今日靈修默想》:『因他使我們和睦(原文作因他是我們的和睦),將兩下合而為一,拆毀了中間隔斷的牆;而且以自己的身體廢掉冤仇。』(弗2:14-15)

默想一: 世界有可能和平嗎?自從有聯合國以來,和平的夢想一直無法實現。若想要有真實的、永恆的和平,唯有藉著耶穌基督寶血的功效。世上所有的血都是有罪的,只有沒有罪的耶穌的寶血具有洗淨罪污及赦罪的功效。也只有祂是我們與神與人之間和睦的橋樑。耶穌基督能成就真平安與真和平,因為祂為此而生,祂的名字叫和平的君王。

默想二:今天我們為什麼能在教會/家庭裡彼此和睦相處?因為我們都是被主耶穌基督所造成的新人。照我們的本相要跟人生活在一起是不可能的,要同心服事主更不用說了。但當我們接受主而成為新造的人時,我們就能在聖靈的整合下,彼此互為肢體,靈裡合一,在基督的愛中建立自己。

禱告:天父上帝,感謝祢讓我在神國裡有分。因祢所成就的,我不再作外人和客旅,而是與聖徒同國,是神家裡的人了(弗2:19)。求祢幫助我,我願成為祢愛的使者,一生榮耀祢。奉耶穌基督的名禱告。阿們!

《Today’s spiritual meditation》:  “For he is our peace, who made both one, and brake down the middle wall of partition, having abolished in his flesh the enmity.” (Eph 2:14-15)

Meditation one: Is it possible for the world to have peace? Since the establishment of the United Nations, the dream of peace has never been materialized. If we want to have a true, eternal peace, the only way is through the blood of Jesus Christ. All the blood from this world is sinful, and only through the power of the blood of Jesus that does not have sin can wash away and forgive sins. He is the only bridge of reconciliation between God and human. Jesus Christ can achieve true peace and real harmony, for He was born for it, and His name is the Prince of Peace.

Meditation two: Why can we get along with one another in the church/family today? This is because we are all new creatures created by the Lord Jesus Christ. It is not possible to live together according to our own nature, and it is even harder to serve the Lord with one heart. But when we accept the Lord and become new creations, we can become members of one another under the integration of the Holy Spirit, unify in spirit, and build up ourselves in the love of Christ.

Prayer: God heavenly Father, thank You for letting me become a partaker in the kingdom of God. For what You have accomplished, I am no longer foreigner and stranger, but a fellow citizen with God’s people and also members of His household (Eph 2:19). Please help me to be willing to become the messenger of love, and glorify You with all my life. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen!
