讀經:使徒行傳第九章

默想:他(逼迫耶穌的掃羅)說:「主啊,你是誰?」(徒9:5)

默想一:你口稱耶穌「主啊,主啊」多年了,但你對耶穌基督的認識有多少?你受過洗了,也在教會熱心服事,但你跟耶穌是『我與主』的直接關係嗎?這跟『我與它』的間接關係不同。千萬不要以為父母信神了,自己理當是神的兒女。相信神是你個人與神建立親密關係。聖經明示:『凡接待祂的,就是信祂名的人,祂就賜他們權柄,作神的兒女』(約1:12)

默想二:我們是神的兒女,但我們有沒有在凡事上順服聖靈的引導?並尊主耶穌基督為主為王?基督徒不僅過著「相信主」的生活,也過著「順服主」的生活。只有『信而順服』才能經歷神的同在及豐富。

禱告:感謝讚美主,因祢是我生命的救主,也是我生活的主人。求祢幫助我,我願把人生的焦點放在竭力追求祢—更進深地認識祢,更單純地愛慕祢,更謙卑地服事祢。奉耶穌基督的名禱告,阿們!

Bible Reading: Acts 9

Insight:  ““Who are you, Lord?” Saul (who persecuted Jesus) asked.” (Act 9:5)

Insight one: You have called Jesus “Lord, Lord” for many years, but how much do you know about Jesus Christ? You have been baptized and you are eager to serve in the church, but do you and Jesus have a direct relationship of “I and the Lord”? This is not the same as the indirect relationship of “I and it”. Do not assume that your parents believe in God so you naturally become be a child of God. Believe in God is a personal close relationship built between you and God. The Bible said clearly: “Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God” (John 1:12).

Insight two: We are children of God, but have we obeyed the guidance of the Holy Spirit in all things? Have we also revered Lord Jesus Christ as Lord and King? Christians not only live the life of “believing in the Lord”, but also live the life of “obeying the Lord”. Only through “trust and obey”, one can experience God’s presence and abundance.Prayer: Dear Lord Jesus, You are the savior of my life and the Master of my life. Help me to focus my life on pursuing You – to know You more deeply, to love You more purely, and to serve You more humbly. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!
