讀經:使徒行傳第八章

默想:「使徒既證明主道,而且傳講,就回耶路撒冷去,一路在撒馬利亞好些村莊傳揚福音。」(徒 8:25 )

默想一:基督徒傳福音的中心信息是什麼?就是關於耶穌基督的好消息:祂為我們的罪被釘在十字架,賜給我們救恩;祂為我們從死裡復活,賜給我們生命;祂為我們還要再來,賜給我們盼望。面對黑暗的世界,基督徒有責任把基督的真光點燃出來,藉著個人平日的生活見證所信的真道。

默想二:基督徒蒙恩的目的什麼?就是傳福音。但傳福音最好的時機、地點在哪裡?就是你所在的地方。傳福音最好的對象是誰?就是跟你接觸的人。保羅說:『務要傳道!無論得時不得時,總要專心。』(提後4:2)不要怕不會傳,只要肯傳,其他的事交給神。

禱告:感謝神,因祢的愛子為我的罪負上極大的代價,使我蒙恩得救,如今是我的機會回報祢。求祢賜我愛靈魂的心以及敏銳於周圍人的需要,我願與他們分享來自天上的好消息。奉耶穌基督的聖名禱告,阿們!

Bible Reading: Acts 8

Insight:  “After they had further proclaimed the word of the Lord and testified about Jesus, Peter and John returned to Jerusalem, preaching the gospel in many Samaritan villages.” (Act 8:25)

Insight one: What is Christian’s essential evangelism message? It is the good news about Jesus Christ: He was crucified for our sins and gives us salvation; He rose from the dead for us and gives us life; He will come again for us and gives us the hope. To face this dark world, Christians have the responsibility to kindle the true light of Christ and through their daily lives to testify the true faith.

Insight two: What is the purpose of giving the grace to Christians? What is the best occasion and location to preach the gospel? It is the very place where you are. Whom should you focus on to preach the gospel? They are the people whom you interact with. Paul said: “Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season”. Do not worry about lacking the eloquence, as long as you are willing to preach, leave everything else to God. 

Prayer: Thank You God, because Your beloved Son has paid a great price for my sins, saved me by grace, and now it is my opportunity to respond Your grace. Give me the heart of loving people’s souls, sensing the needs of those around me. I am willing to share the heavenly good news with them. I pray in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ, Amen!
