《今日靈修默想》:「唯有基督在我們還作罪人的時候為我們死,神的愛就在此向我們顯明了。」(羅5:8)

默想一:我們怎麼知道神真的愛我們?因為在我們莽撞無知甚至頂撞神的時候,神子耶穌為我們的罪死在十字架上,這是神愛我們的明證。如果犧牲能衡量愛的程度,那麼世上沒有比耶穌這份禮物更珍貴了。「上帝愛世人,甚至將祂的獨生子賜給他們」(約3:16)。你願意犧牲多少,你的愛就有多深。

默想二:神的愛與一般人的愛最大的不同是什麼?神的愛不因為你是好人、可愛、配得或你為祂作了什麼,而是因為你是祂造的,祂愛你,祂在乎祢。你想明白神的愛是什麼嗎?相信主就必得救並經歷神的豐富。

禱告:親愛的主,感謝祢捨己的愛。像我這樣經常軟弱與悖逆,但袮還是愛我。因祢愛的激勵,我願用我的一生來彰顯祢的愛,讓別人也認識祢和祢的愛。奉耶穌基督的名禱告,阿們!

《Today’s spiritual meditation》:  “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Rom 5:8)

Meditation one: How do we know that God really loves us? Even though we have neglected God and even are against Him, God’s love had been demonstrated through His only begotten son, Jesus, who died on the cross for our sins. If the sacrifice can quantify the degree of love, then nothing in the world is more precious than the gift of Jesus. “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son.” (John 3:16). How much you are willing to sacrifice can show how deep your love is.

Meditation two: What is the major difference between God’s love and the love of an ordinary person? God’s love is not because you are good, lovable, worthy, or you have done something for Him, but because you are created by Him. He loves you and He cares about you. Do you want to know what God’s love is? Believe in the Lord then surely you will be saved as well as experiencing God’s abundance.

Prayer: Dear Lord, thank You for your selfless love. A person like me who is often weak and rebellious, but You still love me. Because of the inspiration of Your love, I would like to use my whole life to reveal Your love, so that others can also know You and Your love. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!
