讀經：提摩太前書第一章.
默想：『基督耶穌降世，為要拯救罪人。』」（提前1:15）
默想一：基督教信仰的重心是什麼？是道成肉身，主耶穌是神成為人，祂具有完全的神性。如果上帝不成為人，而只是靈，是我們眼不能見，手不能摸的靈，我們怎能了解祂的心意，領受祂的慈愛，並與祂親密交往呢？祂本是至高神的兒子，原與神同等，卻為我們而降世為人。基督若不降世，我們永不能得救。
默想二：神可以用其他方式拯救世人，幹嘛要犧牲祂的獨生愛子耶穌？因為神愛世人！祂為要拯救世人，就透過無罪的耶穌為我們的罪被釘死在十字架。衪來不是要拯救好人，事實上沒有人好到配神所愛，因世人的好無法達到神的標準。主耶穌自己說：「人子來，為要尋找拯救失喪的人」（路19:10）世人憑自己的努力不能拯救自己，只有透過主耶穌在十字架上代贖之工，才能使罪得赦免，蒙救贖，得生命。
禱告：感謝天父上帝的大愛，藉著基督耶穌的道成肉身，把道路、真理和生命賜給所有相信的人。因袮拯救的大能，讓我成為神的兒女。求袮的聖靈時刻地提醒，我的蒙恩都是袮的憐憫。我要善用餘下光陰，完全為袮而活。奉耶穌基督的名禱告，阿們！

Insight:“Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners” (1Ti 1:15)
Insight one: What is the focal point of Christians’ faith? It is the Word became flesh, the Lord Jesus is God but became human, and He has the complete divine nature. If God does not become a human being, but only a spirit, a spirit that we cannot see with our eyes or touch with our hands, how can we understand His mind, receive His love, and communicate with Him intimately? He is the Son of the Most High God and is like the Most High, but He came to the world as a man for us. We will never be saved unless Christ comes to the world.
Insight two: God can save the world in some other ways, why should He sacrifice His only beloved son Jesus? It is because God loves the world! In order to save the world, He was crucified for our sins through the sinless Jesus. He did not come to save good people. In fact, no one is good enough to be worthy of God’s love, since there is no worldly goodness can reach God’s standard. The Lord Jesus Himself said: “For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost” (Luk 19:10). People in this world cannot save themselves by their own work. Only through the ransom of the Lord Jesus paid on the cross can forgive sins, be redeemed, and have life.
Prayer: Thank the great love of God heavenly Father, through Christ Jesus Who became flesh and gives the way, the truth, and the life to all those who believe. Because of Your power of salvation, I become a child of God. May Your Holy Spirit always reminds me that the grace I received is all by Your mercy. I want to make good use of the remaining of my life and live entirely for You. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!
