讀經:哥林多前書第二章

默想:「神為愛祂的人所預備的,是眼睛未曾看見,耳朵未曾聽見,人心也未曾想到的。」(林前2:9)

默想一:世人能憑著科學、學說、哲理來探究出神的智慧及真理嗎?不可能!只有在神面前虛心謙卑尋求真理的人,神會藉著聖靈的啟示讓人相信明白。十字架的真理完全出於神的智慧,是遠超乎人的想像及理解。

默想二:你曾否想過?全能的主,在祂無所不能;祂怎麼會道成肉身降卑為人來到這世界?無罪的耶穌為了拯救我們就甘願被釘在十字架,這是為了什麼?因為祂愛你愛我!這是我們心裡很難想像的。想到這難於形容的救恩,怎能不讚美神呢?

禱告:阿爸父,感謝袮,因袮已把最好的福分藉著耶穌賜給我們,袮也將萬物白白賜給袮的兒女。求神開啟我的心,因袮愛的激勵,我願盡心竭力地回報袮的愛,並活出袮的美好。奉耶穌基督得勝的名禱告,阿們!

Bible reading: 1 Corinthians 2.

Insight:  “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived. The things God has prepared for those who love him.” (1Co 2:9)

Insight one: Can people of this world explore God’s wisdom and truth by science, principle, and philosophy? This is not possible! Only those people who humbly seek the truth in front of God, God will then reveal through the Holy Spirit to make people believe and understand. The truth of the cross is entirely from God’s wisdom, which is far beyond what human beings can imagine and apprehend. 

Insight two: Have you ever thought about this? Since nothing is impossible with God the almighty Lord, how can He, the Word, became flesh and came into this world? The guiltless Jesus, for the sake of saving us, was willingly crucified on the cross. What is this all about? It is because He loves you and me! This is hard for us to imagine by heart. How can you not praise God when you think of this amazing grace?

Prayer: Abba Father, thank You for blessing us with the best since You have given all things freely to Your children through Jesus. Please open my heart and inspire me with your love, I want to make every effort to respond your love and live out Your beauty. I pray in the victorious name of Jesus, Amen!
