讀經:馬可福音12章

默想:「匠人所棄的石頭,已作了房角的頭塊石頭。」(可12:10)

默想一:你跟主耶穌的關係如何?祂在你生命中佔有多少的份量?是你可有可無的主嗎?還是你有事才去找的主?你可知,祂為了救拔你和我脫離死亡線,祂把自己的生命百分之百地給了你我?因祂受的刑罰,我們得平安;因祂受的鞭傷,我們得醫治(賽53:5)。在默念耶穌受難時,你願意相信並讓祂成為你人生中百分之百的主人(Lord,Master)嗎?

默想二:你所認識的耶穌是怎樣的一位?祂雖是匠人所棄(看不起)的石頭,但在神的眼中像是整棟建築物的寶貴房角石。基督若不是房角石,祂就無法為我們和我們的罪而死,也無法與我們同死;祂若不是房角石,我們就無法與祂一同活過來,並與祂一同坐在天上(弗2:6);祂若不是房角石,祂就不能作什麼。請記得,祂所是的一切,祂所作成的一切,以及祂正在作的一切,都在於祂是房角石這事實。

禱告:親愛的主,感謝祢成為我的房角石。無論在教會、在家裡、在我的生命裡,祢是我的依靠。離了祢,我就不能做什麼,一切屬靈的追求與虔敬就等於沒有意義。主!祢為我捨了自己,死在十字架上,我願把我餘下的光陰獻給祢,求祢來使用。奉主耶穌得勝的名祈求,阿們!

Bible Reading: Mark 12.

Insight: “The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.” (Mark 12:10) 

Insight 1: How is your relationship with the Lord Jesus? How significant does He weigh in your life? Is He your dispensable master? Or is He the one you just look for when something happened? Do you know that in order to save you and me from the edge of death, He gave you and me His entire life? the punishment that brought us peace was on Him, and by His wounds we are healed (Isaiah 53:5). While meditating on the crucifixion of Jesus, are you willing to believe and let Him become the exclusive master (Lord, Master) in your life?

Insight 2: Who is the Jesus you know of? Although He is a stone rejected (looked down) by the builders, in God’s eyes, it is indeed the precious cornerstone of the entire building. If Christ is not the cornerstone, He cannot die for us and our sins, nor can He die with us; if He is not the cornerstone, we cannot resurrect with Him and be seated with Him in the heavenly realms (Eph 2 :6); If He is not the cornerstone, then He can’t do anything. Remember, everything He is, everything He has done, and everything He is doing lies in the fact that He is the cornerstone.Prayer: Dear Lord, thank You for being my cornerstone. Whether in the church, at home, or in my life, You are my support. Without you, I cannot do anything. All spiritual pursuits and piety will become meaningless. My Lord! You gave Yourself up for me and died on the cross. I would like to dedicate my remaining time in my life to You. May You use me. I pray in the victorious name of the Lord Jesus, Amen!
