《今日靈修默想》：「不但如此，我也將萬事當作有損的，因我以認識我主基督耶穌為至寶。我為祂已經丟棄萬事，看作糞土，為要得著基督。」（腓3:8）
默想一：『好人』可以上天堂嗎？不可能！人不可能好到合乎神的標準，也不可能因行善而得救。成為上帝的兒女，不是因為有良好的家庭背景、宗教情操、修身養性、强制禁慾，也不是靠自己的好行為、打坐、氣功、瑜伽等，這都不能使我們與神有正確的關係。只有相信神，接受主耶穌基督的救恩才能得以稱義。不只是『壞人』需要救恩，『好人』更需要救恩。
默想二：基督徒『丟棄萬事，看作糞土』未免太消極了吧？是看破紅塵嗎？不是！當他們『以認識我主基督耶穌為至寶』時，所有一切攔阻他們認識基督的事就像是糞土。許多時候，我們不能把這世界的一些事物丟下的原因，主要是我們還沒有看它為有損，反倒看為可愛的。我們丟棄萬事有多少，就得著基督有多少；我們的心房倒空有多少，基督就充滿有多少。
禱告：阿爸父神，讚美袮。因袮的創造、救贖和啟示，使我們認識袮。更感謝袮，因我們是藉著『認識你獨一的真神，並且認識你所差來的耶穌基督，這就是永生』(約17:3)。求袮賜給我智慧，好讓我竭盡所能地追求袮，把認識袮當作我一生的至寶。我這一生最美的祝福，就是認識袮。我願意把因認識袮而有的祝福跟人分享，讓別人因我的見證認識袮。奉主耶穌的名禱告，阿們！
《Today’s spiritual meditation》: “Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ.” (Php 3:8)
Meditation one: Can “good people” go to heaven? This is not possible! People cannot be good enough to meet God’s standards, nor can they be saved through good deeds. Becoming a child of God is not because we have a good family background, religious attitude, self-cultivation, compulsory self-discipline, nor is it relying on our own good behavior, meditation, qigong, yoga, etc. None of these can lead us to have a correct relationship with God. Only by believing in God and receiving the salvation of the Lord Jesus Christ can we be justified. Not just “bad people” need salvation, “good people” are more needed to have salvation.
Meditation two: Is it too pessimistic for a Christian to “lose all things and count them as rubbish”? Does it mean to be disillusioned with the mortal world? It is not! When they “surpass worth of knowing Christ Jesus “, everything that prevents them from knowing Christ is like rubbish. Many times, the reason why we cannot give some worldly things up is mainly because we have not treated it as a loss, but rather as lovable. How many things we trash, we will gain that many in Christ; how much we empty our hearts, Christ will fill in our hearts that much.
Prayer: God Abba Father, I praise You. We can know You because of Your creation, redemption and revelation. Thank You even more, because we trust that “this is eternal life: that they know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent” (Joh 17:3). Please give me wisdom so that I can pursue You with all my strength, and regard knowing You as the surpassing worth of my life. The most beautiful blessing in my life is knowing You. I am willing to share the blessings I have gained from knowing You, and let others know You through my testimony. I pray in the name of the Lord Jesus, Amen!
