《今日靈修默想》:「我們既然蒙憐憫,受了這職分,就不喪膽,乃將那些暗昧可恥的事棄絕了,不行詭詐,不謬講神的道理,只將真理表明出來,好在神面前把自己薦與個人的良心。」(林後4:1-2)

默想一:十字架的道路為什麼崎嶇難行?因那是一條窄路,每一步都有爭戰。但那呼召我們的主耶穌說:「不要喪膽!」祂叫我們不要喪膽,因為祂已經從死裡復活了。我們要走的路,祂走過了;我們要打的仗,祂打過了,而且得勝有餘。

默想二:行事為人都憑良心並對得起良心不就是夠好了嗎?幹嘛還要信主?良心是每個人都有,是神造人時將它放在人的心裡,使人能鑑別是非善惡。但自從人犯罪墮落後,良心受到罪的玷污,以致良心軟弱、污穢。只有當我們悔改蒙恩得救,並追求聖靈的充滿時,祂就能使我們成聖,過無虧良心的生活。

禱告:主耶穌,我感謝祢。因祢復活的大能讓我的今生充滿盼望。求祢的聖靈光照我,不要成為只會口說真理卻在生活上行不出真理的人,讓人在我身上看見祢是滿有恩典有真理的基督。禱告奉祢至尊的聖名,阿們!

 《Today’s spiritual meditation》:  “Therefore, since through God’s mercy we have this ministry, we do not lose heart. Rather, we have renounced secret and shameful ways; we do not use deception, nor do we distort the word of God. On the contrary, by setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to everyone’s conscience in the sight of God” (2Co 4:1-2)

Meditation one: Why is the road of the cross so rough? Because it is a narrow way and every step of the way is a battle. But the Lord Jesus, who called us, said, “Do not lose heart”! He told us not to lose heart because HE has already risen from the the dead. He has already finished the the course we are going to face. He has fought the fight we will be fighting. We are more than conquerors through Him.

Meditation two: Is it good enough to do things and to treat people with a conscience and to abide by the conscience? Why do we have to trust in the Lord? Conscience is something everyone has, is placed in everyone’s heart when God created them, so that people can distinguish between good and evil. But since people have cast down and sinned, conscience has been defiled by sin, so that conscience is weak and impure. Only when we repent, the salvation are granted to us, and pursue the fullness of the Holy Spirit, He then can make us holy and live a life in good conscience.

Prayer: Lord Jesus, I thank You. Because of the great power of Your resurrection, my life is full of hope. Please have the Holy Spirit to shine on me, not to be a person who only talks about the truth but cannot live out the truth in everyday life. Let people see through me that You are the Christ full of grace and truth. I pray in Your honorable holy Name, Amen!
