今日靈修默想》:耶穌嘗了那醋,就說:「成了!」便低下頭,將靈魂交付神了。(約19:30)

默想一:主耶穌為人類完成了人不可能完成的任務是什麼?就是祂在十字架上宣告「成了!」的事實。這表明耶穌成功地成就了神託付的救贖大工。祂在十字架上擔當了所有人的罪,藉著祂的死付清了我們犯罪的代價。「成了!」並不是「完蛋了。」而是主耶穌為人類的罪債「付清了!」,藉著祂打開了永生之門。

默想二:主耶穌的生命是被人奪去的嗎?是被罪人逼死的嗎?都不是!乃是祂自願為人捨命(約10:18),也是為完成父神的旨意。的確,主耶穌為我們的罪曾經死了,但如今已復活且永遠活著。

禱告:主耶穌,感謝祢在十字架上的得勝。祢沒有在十字架上死,而是將靈魂交付於永生神。因祢的救恩,我將今後的餘生獻給祢用。奉祢寶貴的尊名禱告,阿們!

《Today’s spiritual meditation》:   “When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.” With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.” (John 19:30)

Meditation one: What is the task that is impossible for human beings to achieve but was accomplish by Jesus the Lord? It has been a fact that He declared “It is finished!” on the cross. This shows that Jesus succeeded in fulfilling the great work of redemption given by God. He carried all our sins on the cross and payed the price of our sins through His death. “It is finished!” does not mean “It is ended.” It means the debts of our sins have been “paid off” by Jesus. Through Him, the door to the eternity has been opened.

Meditation two: Was the life of the Lord Jesus been taken away by human beings? Was He forced to death by sinners? Neither is true! He not only laid Himself down of His own accord (John 10:18), but also fulfilled the will of the Father. The Lord Jesus died for our sins, but now He is resurrected and lives forever.

Prayer: Lord Jesus, thank You for your victory on the cross. Instead of dying on the cross, You gave Your soul to the God of eternity. For your salvation, I will dedicate the rest of my life to you. I pray in Your precious name, Amen!
