讀經：约翰福音第十六章。
默想：「我將這些事告訴你們，是要叫你們在我裏面有平安。在世上，你們有苦難；但你們可以放心，我已經勝了世界。」（約 16:33 ）
默想一：面對這場來勢洶洶的病毒，它已經造成世紀大災難。就是到今天，人對它仍束手無策。基督徒雖然不能避過這苦難，但我們有世人所沒有的平安，這平安是透過耶穌基督在十字架上的拯救和復活的大能而親自賜給所有信靠祂的人。主耶穌從死裡復活後，在天父上帝的右邊一直為我們代求。祂知道我們的處境，祂正在保護我們，如同保護眼中的瞳人（詩17:8）
默想二：這疫情會持續多久？沒有人有絕對的把握，就連明天也沒有人知道。其實，聖經告訴我們，基督再來前撒旦知道自己的時日不多，牠像死亡前的掙扎會瘋狂地製造不安，但我們深信掌管一切的主，祂已宣告：「但你們可以放心，我已經勝了世界。」你信靠主多少，你就放心多少。
禱告：慈愛的天父，感謝祢同在的應許。袮說：「我不撇下你們為孤兒」（約14:18）。求祢堅固我的信心，讓我的生命和生活建立在袮的應許上，只緊緊地跟隨祢，忠於袮的託付，直到行完天路。奉主耶穌基督的名禱告，阿們！
Bible Reading: John 16.
Insight: “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” (Joh 16:33)
Insight one: In the face of this raging virus, it has become the catastrophe of the century. Even today, people are still helpless about it. Although Christians cannot get away from this suffering, we have the peace that the world does not have. This peace is personally given to all who trust in Him through the power of Jesus Christ’s salvation and resurrection on the cross. After the resurrection of the Lord Jesus from the dead, he has interceded for us on the right side of God the Father. He knows our situation. He will protect us as the apple of the eye. (Psa 17: 8).
Insight two: How long will the epidemic last? No one is absolute certain, and no one even knows about tomorrow. In fact, the Bible tells us that before Christ coming again, Satan knew that it doesn’t have much time left. It would be like a struggle before death to crazily cause uneasiness. But we truly trust the Lord who rules everything, He has declared: “Take heart! I have overcome the world “. How much you trust in the Lord, then how much you can rest assured.
Prayer: Heavenly Father of Love, thank You for Your promise. You said, “I will not leave you as orphans.” (Joh 14:18). Please strengthen my faith, let my spiritual life and daily life build on Your promises, only follow You closely, and be loyal to Your trust, until the very end of the heavenly pathway. I pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen!
