《今日靈修默想》:『道成了肉身,住在我們中間,充充滿滿的有恩典有真理。』(約1:14)

默想一:一個有限的人能看見或認識無限的神嗎?不可能!但創造萬物的神,主動來到自己創造的世界中成為人。祂藉著耶穌的道成肉身降生在伯利恆。耶穌降生的目的是為要拯救我們脫離死罪,也為我們從死裡復活。我們透過耶穌的救恩而認識神並成為神的兒女。

默想二:我們蒙恩得救的人,當如何活出道成肉身的基督?主耶穌已經把神的恩典、真理和榮光顯明出來,讓人可以看見神的榮耀。今天是我們的責任,活出道路、真理、生命的主,讓別人在我們的生活看見神。活出基督的樣式,就是道成肉身的實踐。

禱告:感謝神,因袮的降世為人,讓我們成為上帝的兒女。求聖靈時時提醒我,我如今蒙恩,不是我配得的,也不是我很行,乃是袮的愛拯救了我。求袮幫助我,讓我不要沉睡於袮的恩典而是積極地與人分享袮的救恩,活出袮的美好。禱告是奉耶穌得勝的名,阿們!

《Today’s spiritual meditation》:  “The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us . . . full of grace and truth.” (Joh 1:14)

Meditation one: Can a limited human being see or know the Infinite God? This is not possible! But the God who created all things took the initiative to become a flesh in the world He created. As the Word became flesh Jesus was born in Bethlehem. The purpose of Jesus’ birth was to save us from being condemned to death and to raise us from the dead. We know God through Jesus’ salvation and become children of God.

Meditation two: How can we, as being saved, live out the Christ of the Word becomes flesh? The Lord Jesus has revealed God’s grace, truth, and glory so that people can see the glorious God. Today our responsibility is to live out the way, the truth, and the Lord of life, so others can see God in our lives. Living out the likeness of Christ is the repetition of the Word became flesh.

Prayer: Thank God for Your coming to the world and becoming a man so we can be children of God. May the Holy Spirit remind me from time to time that I am now granted the grace, not what I deserved, nor my own strength, but Your love that has saved me. Help me, let me not fall asleep in Your grace but actively share Your salvation with others and live in Your goodness. I prayer is the victorious name of Jesus, Amen!
