《今日靈修默想》:『因為我曾定了主意,在你們中間不知道別的,只知道耶穌基督並祂釘十字架』(林前2:2)

默想一:在這邪惡滿佈、潮流充斥的世代裡,你把人生的焦距放在哪裡?一生愛世界?還是愛耶穌基督?世人所誇耀的常使人驕傲而遠離真理,耶穌基督卻使人謙卑而接受真理;世上科學給人更高物質享受但也帶給人心靈的空虛,耶穌基督卻給人內在的平安;世上的榮華轉眼成空,耶穌基督卻使人豐豐富富的進入永恆。

默想二:你對耶穌基督的認識有多少?你與祂的關係如何?今天有許多人只喜歡耶穌降生的聖誕節,卻不知道耶穌為拯救人而死在十字架上的受難節。對保羅而言,光是基督,沒有十字架,是不完整的福音。十字架在我們身上破碎有多少,基督出來就有多少;十字架在我們身上作工有多少,基督的彰顯就有多少。沒有基督,就沒有生命;沒有十字架,就沒有道路。

禱告:天父上帝,感謝袮。因袮藉著耶穌基督並祂釘十字架,我們才有得救的途徑。求袮的聖靈指引我,我願更深地認識袮。而不是只喜歡聽有條理、引經據典、動聽的話語。我定了主意,不知道別的,只知道一生要高舉耶穌基督並祂釘十字架。奉主耶穌寶貴的名禱告,阿們!

《Today’s spiritual meditation》:  “For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.” (1Co 2:2)

Meditation one: In this evil and trendy-leaning era, where do you set your focus of life? Love the world for the rest of your life? Or love Jesus Christ? What the world is boasting about often makes people proud and away from the truth, but Jesus Christ makes people humble and accepts the truth. The science of this world gives people a sophisticated material pleasure but also brings the emptiness in their souls, but Jesus Christ gives people the peace inside; the world prosperousness is soon gone, but Jesus Christ leads people bountifully into eternity.

Meditation two: How much do you know about Jesus Christ? How is your relationship with Him? There are many people today who only like the Christmas of Jesus’ birth, but do not know the Good Friday that Jesus died on the cross to save people. For Paul, Christ alone, without the cross, is an incomplete gospel. How much the cross has deciphered in us, as much Christ can be seen out of us; how much the cross has worked in us, as much the Christ can be revealed through us. Without Christ, there is no life; without the cross, there is no way.

Prayer: God heavenly Father, thank You. Because of the crucifixion through Jesus Christ, we have a way to be saved. Please let Your Holy Spirit guide me, I would like to know You more deeply. It is not just want to hear well-organized, well-quoted, and well-composed words. For I have determined not to know anything except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified. I pray in the precious name of the Lord Jesus, Amen!
