週二《耶穌受難靈修默想》:「匠人所棄的石頭,已作房角的頭塊石頭」(可12:10)

默想一:你生命的根基穩固嗎?一座建築物必須有一個良好的根基。頭塊房角石必須是正位的,因為其餘的石頭都將以這頭塊房角石的標準,在其上建造起來。猶太宗教領袖自命為建造天國的匠人,卻把耶穌基督棄絕,甚至釘祂在十字架上,神卻叫祂復活,成了『房角的頭塊石頭』。

默想二:你信仰的根基建立在什麼事上?建立在人際關係上、在教會上、建立在牧師、佈道家或神學家身上嗎?信仰若依靠人遲早會垮台的!耶穌基督是我們生命建造的房角石,是唯一的根基。我們若偏離這塊石頭,一切屬靈的追求與虔敬終必歸於無有。

禱告:阿爸父神,感謝袮在基督裡立好了根基。袮為了我們的罪犧牲了袮的愛子耶穌,捨命在十字架上,袮一切的作為正顯明了袮的愛。為了回應袮的愛,我願將一生的焦點放在耶穌身上,一心跟隨祂到底。奉耶穌基督的名禱告,阿們!

代禱: 為所有疲於奔命的醫護人員禱告,賜他們夠用的防護器材。也為醫生/專家能早日研發疫苗及特效藥。求神賜他們有健康的身心靈。

Tuesday《Today’s spiritual meditation》: “The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.” (Mar 12:10)

Meditation one: Is the foundation of your life firm? A building must have a solid foundation. The corner stone must be positioned correctly, as the rest of the stones will be built along it with the alignment of the corner stone of the house. The religious leaders of Jews thought to be the craftsmen who built the kingdom of heaven, but as a result of their rejection of Christ, they instead crucified Him on the cross. Yet God resurrected Him and made Him “the cornerstone of the house.”

Meditation two: Where do you build your foundation of faith upon? Is it built on interpersonal relationships, or churches, or Pastors, or missionaries, or theologians? Faith will collapse sooner or later if it is built over people! Jesus Christ is the corner stone of our lives, and is the very only foundation. If I deviate from this stone, then all spiritual pursuits and piety will perish eventually.

Prayer: Abba heavenly Father, thank You for having laid the foundation in Christ. You sacrificed Jesus, Your only begotten son and gave His life on the cross for our sins. All You have done revealed Your love. In response to Your love, I want to focus my life upon Jesus and follow Him throughout. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!

Intercession: Pray for all the exhausted medical staffs and let them receive adequate protective equipment. Also pray God to give them healthy bodies, minds, and spirits so the doctors/experts can quickly develop vaccines and effective medicines.
