约翰福音 John 1:16

Wednesday, March 5, 2025

约翰福⾳ 1:16 从祂的丰盛⾥， 我们⼀次⼜⼀次地领受了恩典。(圣经当代译本)
John 1:16 Out of the fullness of his grace he has blessed us all, giving us one blessing after another. (GNT)

恩典是来领受的，且是⼀个⼜⼀个的祝福接憧⽽来。世界要你关注的都是负⾯的消息，但今天，天⽗祂要赐给你的恩典如同不断涌来的波浪，是⼀波接着⼀波的祝福。让我们时刻都紧紧抓住这个应许 - 神要赐下恩惠和世上的祝福在我们⽣命中。 这不意味因着神⽆条件地爱我们，我们就可以随⼼所欲地⽣活。透过恩典的眼光意 味着当你在关系中出现冲突时，你可以踏出第⼀步道歉来缓和状况，因为你知道神有得多爱你。今天恩丰牧师宣称，神要你过⼀个圣洁的⽣命。祂要你爱你的妻⼦， 祂要你饶恕你的仇敌；你不需要为你的⽣ 意操⼼，⽽是全然来依靠祂。这些都是住 在恩典⾥的果⼦；这让我们认清⼀件事，仅靠意志⼒是很难过着圣洁的⽣活。 那么，我们要如何在实际⽣活中活出圣洁与善⾏呢？

Grace is always meant to be received. One blessing after another. The world may want you to focus on the bad report, but today, your heavenly Father is giving you grace upon grace, never-ending waves of grace, one blessing after another. Let us all hold onto this promise – that our God wants to bless us with favor and earthly blessings in our lives. It does not mean that we can live our lives without any care just because God loves us unconditionally. Viewing things through the lens of grace means that when there is strife in your relationships, you can take the first step to apologize because you know how much God loves you. Today, Pastor Aaron proclaims that God desires you to live a holy life. God wants you to love your wife, to forgive your enemy, to not worry about your business and to depend on Him. These are the fruits of living in grace. It is difficult to live a holy life with just willpower alone. So, how do we work out all these holiness and good works?

罗⻢书 Romans 8:32

Tuesday, March 4, 2025

罗⻢书 8: 32 神既不爱惜⾃⼰的⼉⼦为我们众⼈舍了，岂不也把万物和他⼀同⽩⽩的赐给我们吗？(现代标点和合本)
Romans 8:32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? (NKJV)

神为我们赐下祂的独⽣爱⼦。祂既不爱惜⾃⼰的⼉⼦，却为我们众⼈舍了。神若将祂的⼉⼦给了我们，岂不也把万物和祂⼀同⽩⽩的赐给我们吗？因此在⽣命中，我们当专注的不应当是在“事物”上 ，不单只是在医治、⾦钱、或者关系上，⽽是应当专注在神为我们舍下祂“⼉⼦”的这件事上。 当你有启⽰明⽩这⼉⼦为我们牺牲所付上的代价，你所寻求的⼀切“万物”都会⽩⽩的赐给你。因此，次序是以“耶和华是我的牧者，我必不致缺乏”为开始 (诗篇23) —— 我们所寻求的应当是这位⼤牧者。然后在第六节说道，⼀⽣⼀世必有恩惠慈爱随着我们。因此，我们当把专注⼒聚焦在主耶稣⾝上，⽽不是在事物上， 然⽽在我们所过的属天⽣活中，我们会拥有我们所需要的⼀切，因为主耶稣必供应。简⽽⾔之，神若将祂最宝贵的独⽣⼦赐给我们，为何祂还留着次要的不给我们呢？神若将祂的⼉⼦赐给我 们，还有什么⽐祂的⼉⼦更有价值呢？

God gave His Son for us. He did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us. If God is willing to give us His Son, how shall He not also freely give us all things? Hence, our focus in life should not be on “things” – healing, money, or relationships, but rather on “the Son” which God did not spare but delivered up for us. If you have a revelation of the price of the Son which God sacrificed for you, all the “things” you seek will come to fruition. Psalm 23 starts with The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want -it is the Shepherd we should always seek. Furthermore, verse 6 says that goodness and mercy will chase after you all the days of your life. Hence, we will all put our focus on the Lord and not on things, and yet in the heavenly life that we live, we will have all the things that we need because Jesus will supply. Simply put, if God could give us His only Son, why would He withhold all these lesser things from us? If God can give us His Son, what else is of more value than the Son?

诗篇 Psalm 27:1b

Monday, March 3, 2025

诗篇 27: 1b... 耶和华是我的堡垒，我还怕谁？(圣经当代译本)
Psalm 27:1b …The Lord is the stronghold of my life— of whom shall I be afraid? (NIV)

主耶稣是你⽣命中的堡垒 。当你⽆法坚强时，主耶稣就是你的堡垒 。当你沮丧时，主耶稣是你⽣命的保障，你还怕谁呢？让这个真理扎实的在你⼼中存留。 如果你觉得已经筋疲⼒尽，⽆法继续前⾏，主耶稣今天告诉你，祂是你坚固的堡垒。回来吧！主耶稣要对你说：“⼉⼦，不要再往别处去了；⼥⼉，别在外头哭泣了。 回来吧，回到家⾥来，回到我这⾥来。我是你最坚固的堡垒。我也是你的道路、真理和⽣命。”世界的⼈可能在诉说他们的问题，但在教会中，在基督的肢体中，我们是⾼举主耶稣基督的名。祂是我们唯⼀当仰望的。来到主耶稣这⾥，⼈可能伤害你，但祂永远是来保护你的。返回堡垒这⾥吧。阿们！

The Lord is the stronghold of your life. When you cannot be strong, the Lord is your stronghold. When you are depressed, the Lord is the stronghold of your life, so of whom shall you be afraid? Let that settle in your heart and mind today. If you feel like you have no more strength to move on, the Lord is telling you today that He is your stronghold. Return to the stronghold. Jesus is telling you, “Son, do not go anywhere else anymore. Daughter, stop crying outside anymore. Return. Come back home. Come back to Me. I am your stronghold. I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life.” The world may be discussing their problems, but in the church, in the body of Christ, we are lifting the name of Jesus. He is our sole focus. Come to Jesus. People can hurt you, but the Lord will never do that. Return to the stronghold. Amen!

哥林多前书 1Corinthians 4:7

Sunday, March 2, 2025

哥林多前书 4:7 使你与⼈不同的是谁呢？你有什么不是领受的呢？若是领受的，为何⾃夸，仿佛不是领受的呢？(现代标点和合本)
1Corinthians 4:7 For who makes you differ from another? And what do you have that you did not receive? Now if you did indeed receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it? (NKJV)

使你与⼈不同的是谁呢？是什么使你更出⾊呢？你有什么不是领受的呢？你所拥有的⼀切都是从神⽽来的。如果你已经领受 了，为何还⾃夸，仿佛不是领受的呢？我们往往会⾃夸，仿佛这⼀切都是我们⾃⼰赚取的。我们为⼦⼥的成功、我们的财富与外貌等夸⼝，好像这⼀切都是凭借我们⾃⼰努⼒得来的。但圣经说：“你有什么不是领受的呢？” 你所拥有的⼀切，都是从神那⾥领受的。那么，你为什么要⾃夸呢？ 圣经在哥林多后书12:9 写道 - 他对我说：我的恩典够你⽤的，因为我的能⼒，是在⼈的软弱上显得完全，所 以我更喜欢夸⾃⼰的软弱，好叫基督的能⼒覆庇我。 保罗说他更喜欢夸⾃⼰的软弱和不⾜。当你晓得你所拥有的⼀切都是神⽽来，如同保罗⼀样，你会更愿意夸⾃⼰的软弱，好 叫基督的能⼒覆庇你。与其夸⼝你的财产，不如夸⼝你的软弱。让我们能够坦然承认其实我们⼀⽆所有，我们所有的⼀切都是从神来的，好叫基督的能⼒得以覆庇我。 尽管我们尚未看到，但我们知道基督的能⼒在我们⾝上。我们在⾼⼭上，在街道上宣告主耶稣的名，我们祷告在⿊暗中主耶稣的能⼒胜过每⼀个敌⼈。主耶稣是为我们的家庭，所以我们宣告主耶稣的圣名。阿们！

Who makes you different from another? What makes you better? What do you have that you did not receive? Everything you have is received from God. If you have received it, why do you boast as if you had not received it? Very often we boast as though we earned it by ourselves. We boast about our children’s success, our possessions, our looks, etc as if all these are by our own efforts. But the Bible says, “What do you have that you did not receive?” All that you have, you received from God. So why do you boast? Bible in 2Corinthians 12:9 - And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Paul said he would rather boast in his infirmities or weaknesses. When you know that all you have was received from the Lord, like Paul you would want to boast in your weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon you. Instead of boasting about your possessions, it would be better to boast about your weaknesses. Let us come to a point where we can say that in fact, we have nothing because all that we have is from the Lord, that the power of Christ may rest upon us. Although we cannot see it yet, we know the power of Christ rests upon us. We speak Jesus from the mountains, we speak Jesus in the streets, and we pray Jesus’ power in the darkness over every enemy. Jesus is for our family, so we speak the holy name of Jesus. Amen!

以弗所书 Ephesians 5:16

Saturday, March 1, 2025

以弗所书 5:16 要爱惜光阴 (kairos)，因为现今的世代邪恶。(现代标点和合本)
Ephesians 5:16 redeeming the time (kairos), because the days are evil. (NKJV)

当我们谨慎⾏事，我们就是在爱惜光阴，因为现今的世代邪恶。这⾥所说的“光阴”不是指世上的时间计算法，⽽是指 “kairos”，即神安排的适当时机或机遇。在希腊⽂中，它指的是神为你所安排，在对的时间，对的地点，提供了给你的机遇。神在祂完美的时间⾥供应 了你。 在你的⼈际关系中，神为你安排在适当的时候遇到对的⼈，那个⼈是以良善待你， 叫你得益处。身为⽗⺟，我们能为孩⼦安排⼀切吗？不能，因为有很多我们不知道 的事，但神参透万事。当我们学习谨慎⾏事，我们就会爱惜光阴，⾛在神为我们安排美好的时机与机遇。 每⼀天，我们都可以按着神为我们预先安排的机遇⾥前⾏。你会在对的时间与对的⼈结婚，在适当的时候有孩⼦。你将在对的时机为你的公司争取到⼀个⼤型的企划。神会赐予我们智慧，让我们能够赎回神在我们⽣命中所赐下的“kairos”祝福和时机，让⼀切都按照祂的计划进⾏。

When we walk wisely, we will redeem the time because the days are evil. The” time” does not refer to chronology but it refers to “kairos”, meaning the right time or the opportune time which comes from God. In Greek, it refers to a season of godly-arranged opportunities in your life. God provides in His perfect timing. In your relationships, God can arrange for you to meet the right person at the right time, and that person will be good for you. Can we, as parents, arrange that for our children? We cannot because there are many things we do not know, but God is all-knowing. When we learn how to walk wisely, we can redeem the time and utilise God's appointed time in our lives. Each day, we can walk along paths that have been pre-arranged for us by God. You will be married at the right time to the right person. You will give birth at the right time to the right child. You will secure a mega project at the right time for your company. God will grant us wisdom so that we can redeem God’s “kairos” blessings and timing in our lives so that all things will work according to His plan.

以弗所书 Ephesians 6:15

Friday, February 28, 2025

以弗所书 6:15 ⼜⽤平安的福⾳，当作预备⾛路的鞋穿 在脚上。(现代标点和合本)
Ephesians 6:15 “readiness” and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. (NIV)

以弗所第六章说到神的全副军装，其中提到了关于脚的部分。你的双脚很重要，因 为它意表着你在⽣命中所⾛的每⼀个步伐。今天我们正处 在⼀场属灵的争战中，但当我们进⼊平安，当我们的⼼思意念停留在主耶稣⾝上，当晓得在神⾯前我们是义⼈，平安的福⾳就装备我们的⼼，使我们准备好面对⽣活中的各样挑战，这样，⽆论发⽣什么 事，我们都可以⼤声说，那在我⾥⾯的，⽐那在世界上的更⼤。今天，我们可以⼤胆宣告，在主耶稣⾯前，我们的问题都必消化如蜡。有时候， 我们觉得⾃⼰还没有准备好⾯对未知的明天，这就是压⼒的源头。然后我们失眠，对周围的⼈变得易怒和暴躁。这⼀切，都源于内⼼深处的惧怕。圣经说，因我们并不是与属⾎⽓ (⼈) 的争战，乃是与那些执政的、掌权的、属灵⽓的恶魔争战。 因此，问题不是出于你的配偶，也不是在于那个总挑剔你的⼈，⽽是天空属灵的， 是恶者 (魔⻤) 要来偷窃、杀害和毁灭你的⽣命。但今天⾝为教会，当我们宣告我们要进⼊四境平安，我们的⼼思意念就不再停留在别的事物上，只停留在主耶稣⾝ 上，我们将看到更多的神迹奇事发⽣在教会。

In Ephesians 6 which speaks about the armour of God, there is one part about your feet. Your feet is important because it signifies where you walk in life. Today we are in a spiritual warfare but when we go into peace, when our mind is stayed on Jesus, when we understand that we are the righteousness of God, this gospel of peace gives us a readiness to walk our life, so that no matter what comes we can say that My God, who is inside me is greater than the one outside.Today, we can boldly declare that in the presence of Jesus, our problems will melt like wax. Sometimes we may feel that we are just not ready to face tomorrow and that is why stress comes in. Then we start losing sleep and get irritable and grumpy with the people around us. All these stems from fear in the first place. The bible says that our battle is not against flesh and blood (people) but against spiritual authority. Therefore, the problem is not your spouse, the problem is not that person who is always picking on you but the problem is something spiritual, the devil who wants to steal, kill, and destroy your life. But today, as a church, when we declare that we want to enter that place of shalom peace, where our mind is not stayed on anything else but only on the person on Jesus, we will be ready to see more miracles happen in church.

以弗所书 Ephesians 5:14

Thursday, February 27, 2025

以弗所书 5:14 所以主说：你这睡着的⼈ (⽆动于衷)， 当醒过来，从死⾥复活，基督就要光照 你了。(现代标点和合本)
Ephesians 5:14 Awake, you who sleep (having no concern), Arise from the dead, And Christ will give you light. (NKJV)

很多时候，我们以为⾃⼰是醒着的，但实 际上我们是“睡着”的。为什么呢？因为我 们往往被这世界上的许多事情扰乱了⼼ 志，以⾄于忘了珍惜⽣活中微⼩的事。这节经⽂中的“睡着”的意思是“⽆动于衷”。纵然神的话说我们是蒙福，且是蒙福胜过万⺠，但很多时候，我们就如同⽔从鸭⼦的背上滑落⼀样。我们的反应是“⽆动于衷”。我们在沉睡，对周遭的⼀切毫不关⼼。但教会，我们不属于那些“睡着”且漠 不关⼼的⼀群⼈。我们是醒着的。阿们！ 我们是清醒的⼀群⼈，因为晓得被提的⽇ ⼦临近了。我们没有时间总是忧虑或嫉妒他⼈；我们没有时间陷⼊冲突；我们没有时间去怀恨在⼼。因为很多时候，与我们有过节的⼀⽅早就把事情给忘了，是我们⾃⼰还在耿耿于怀。 所以今天不要再“沉睡”了。不要再浪费时间过于思虑 或沉湎于过往。醒悟过来吧！活在当下！ 基督就要光照你。⽆论你有否察觉到，你已经在祂的光照之下了。因此，醒悟过来 并警醒。你从来没有想过要过着疾病或忧 虑的⽣活；你不应该有破裂的关系；你⽣来就不是为了过匮乏的⽣活。为什么呢？ 因为基督已经光照你了。

We frequently believe we are awake while, in fact, we are "sleeping". Why is this the case? It is because we tend to be distracted by many things in this world to the extent we neglect to treasure the simple things in life. In this passage, the Bible defines "sleep" as "having no concern." Even though the word of God says that we are so blessed, wealthier than many nations, we often brush it off like water off a duck's back. We have no concern for it. We are just "sleeping," oblivious about what is happening around us. Church, we do not belong to this group who sleep and have no concern. We have been woken. Amen! We belong to the group who is awake because we are aware that the rapture draws near. We have no time for worry or jealousy; we have no time for conflicts; we have no time to harbour petty grudges. Unfortunately, we tend to hold on to resentment when the other party has completely forgotten all about it and is unconcerned about the resentment within you. Therefore today not to "sleep" any longer. Let us not waste any more time fretting or reflecting on the past. Live in the present moment. Awake! And Christ will give you light. The light of Christ shines upon you, whether you realise it or not. As a result, be awake and vigilant. You were never intended to live a life of disease or worry; you were not meant to have shattered relationships; you were not designed to live a life of scarcity. Why? Because Christ has already shone His light upon us.

约翰福⾳ John 2:7

Wednesday, February 26, 2025

约翰福⾳ 2:7 耶稣对⽤⼈说：把缸倒满了⽔，他们就倒 满了，直到缸⼝。 (现代标点和合本)
John 2:7 Jesus said to them, “Fill the water-pots with water.” And they filled them up to the brim. (NKJV)

在迦拿地的⼀场婚宴上，当时酒⽤尽了。 主耶稣吩咐佣⼈把缸倒满了⽔。你是否知晓我们每⼀个⼈都是⼀⼝⽔缸吗？圣经中 的“⽔”意表着什么呢？⽔就是神的话。于是，佣⼈们把⽔缸倒满了⽔，直到缸⼝。 同样在我们的⽣命中，我们需要被神的话语来充满我们的⽇常。我们都知道故事的结尾——当缸倒满了⽔，⽔就变成酒。 神愿你从内而外来享受生命的喜乐。神的话在你⼿中可能显得很平常。有些⼈认为他们可以通过阅读如励志书籍来领受 更多知识使他们过上更好的⽣活的，或如何快速致富等。但你晓得吗？神的话语， 可以使你⼿中的⽔变成酒。当你有了神的话，它是从内⾄外，把你的⽣命中的⽔变成酒。只有神的话语与主耶稣才有这样的能⼒。因此，每当你感到绝望或不知所措，当你⾯对⽣活中的困境时，以神的话语充满⾃⼰；⽤诗章，颂词，灵歌，彼此 对说：⼝唱⼼和的赞美主。

In the land of Canaan, at a wedding feast, the wine had run out. Jesus instructed them to fill the water-pots with water. Do you know that we are all water-pots? What does water in the Bible mean? Water means the word of God. In the verse, they filled the water-pots with water, and they filled them up to the brim. Similarly for us, we need to fill our lives with the word of God. We all know the ending of the story - when the water-pots were filled to the brim, the water turned into wine. The Lord desires you to enjoy life from the inside out. The word of God may appear ordinary in your hands. Some people think that they can gain more knowledge by reading other books such as motivational books that can teach them the steps to live a better life, how to get rich quick etc. Do you know that the word of God , this water in your hands, can turn into wine? When you have the word of God , it can turn into wine, inside out. Only the word , only Jesus can do this. Therefore, whenever you feel hopeless, when you don’t know what to do or when you face challenges in your life, remember to fill yourself to the brim with God’s word by speaking and singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs.

哥林多前书 1Corinthians 3:19a & 1:27

Monday, February 24, 2025

哥林多前书 3: 19a 因这世界的智慧在神看是愚拙... (现代标点和合本)
哥林多前书 1:27 神却拣选了世上愚拙的，叫有智慧的羞愧；⼜拣选了世上软弱的，叫那强壮的羞愧。(现代标点和合本)
1Corinthians 3:19a For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God… (NKJV)
1Corinthians 1:27 But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; (NKJV)

圣经提到了两种智慧——属世的智慧和属 神的智慧。神看这世界的智慧是愚拙的。世界看为重要的，在神看来却是微不⾜道的。毫⽆疑问，学识很重要，但这不应该是我们⾸要的依靠。世界上有很多⾼等学历的⼈在⽣活上也可能是个失败者。尽管有经验的⼈在很多⽅⾯都处于优势，但这不应成为我们唯⼀的根基。因此，在我们所⾏的⼀切事上都必须以神的智慧为⾸。 在世界看来是有智慧的，在神看来却是愚拙的。另⼀⽅⾯，世界视之为愚拙的，在神⼿中可以变得有智慧。世界认为微不⾜道的，在神⼿中可以变得强⼤。世界可能告诉你，背诵 圣经节只能叫你在属灵⽅⾯得着益处，它不能在你的现实⽣活中给你任何帮助。但我们晓得，神藉着祂的话赋予我们智慧，⽽这智 慧会结出美好的果⼦。当世界看到我们的孩⼦在背诵神的话⽽不是学习时，可能会称之为愚昧，但背诵神的话却是与神的智慧为⼀致的；⾄少我们的孩⼦不是参与不健康的活动。神却拣选了世上看为愚拙的，叫有智慧的羞愧。教会，要明⽩，我们要以追求智慧为⾸要之事。

The bible describes two types of wisdom – wisdom of the world and wisdom from God. God deems the wisdom of this world as foolishness. What holds significance in the world's eyes is considered insignificant in God's perspective. Undoubtedly, education holds importance, but it should not be our primary dependence. Despite the presence of many highly educated individuals in the world, failure can still occur. While experience is valuable, it should not be our sole foundation. Therefore, all our actions in life should be guided by wisdom from God.What is wise in the sight of the world is foolishness with God. Conversely, what is labeled as foolish by the world can transform into wisdom through God's intervention. What the world dismisses as insignificant can be made mighty by God. The world might tell you that memorizing bible verses holds only spiritual value and lacks real-life applicability, but we know that His word imparts divine wisdom and God’s wisdom bears good fruits. The world may view our children memorizing the word of God instead of studying as foolish, but memorizing the word aligns with the wisdom of God. It is a better choice than engaging in harmful activities. God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise. Church, it is vital to understand that wisdom is the most essential thing to seek.

腓⽴⽐书 Philippians 4:6-7

Sunday, February 23, 2025

腓⽴⽐书 4:6-7 应当⼀⽆挂虑，只要凡事借着祷告、祈求和感谢，将你们所要的告诉神。神所赐出⼈意外的平安，必在基督耶稣⾥，保守你们的⼼怀意念。(现代标点和合本)
Philippians 4:6-7 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. (NKJV)

让我们的祷告是感恩的祷告，⽽不是乞求的祷告。神要我们把⼼⾥所求所想的都带到祂⾯前。让我们开始与神交谈。 告诉祂我们内⼼深处的害怕、担忧和焦虑。与祂谈论你的事业和⼈际关系，甚⾄睡眠问题；把⼀切我们所要的都告诉祂。当你如此⾏，你的关注⼒就不再是⾃⼰，⽽是在神那⾥。神所赐出⼈意外的平安，必在基督耶稣⾥，保守你们的⼼怀意念。你也是借着基督耶稣，把⼀切都陈明在神⾯前。因为离了主耶稣， 我们不能做什么。因此，若不是主为你 建造，你所建造的都枉然劳⼒。当主为你建造房屋时，你将收获不是你所撒种的。在你的⼀⽣中，神的恩惠与慈爱必追随着你。阿们！

Let our prayers be prayers of thanksgiving and not prayers of pleading. God wants us to bring all our requests to Him. Let us start talking to God. Let us tell Him about our fears, our worries, and our anxieties. Talk to Him about your business and your relationships. Talk to Him about your sleep problem. Tell Him everything. When you do that, your focus is not on yourself but on God. And the peace of God which surpasses all understanding will guard your heart and mind through Christ Jesus. When you present your requests to God, it is also always through Christ Jesus. Apart from Jesus, we can do nothing. Therefore, unless the Lord builds your house, you build it in vain. When the Lord builds your house, you will reap what you did not sow. You will walk through life with the blessings of God chasing after you. Amen!

希伯来书 Hebrews 12:2a

Saturday, February 22, 2025

希伯来书12:2a 仰望 (aphorao - 从⼀件事上转眼看向另⼀ 件事) 为我们信⼼创始成终的耶稣... (现代标点和合本)
Hebrews 12:2a Looking (aphorao - turning away from one thing to look at another) unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith... (NKJV)

当我们谈论到信⼼时，并不是关乎如何来增强信⼼。这也不是关乎我们如何让⾃⼰更来信靠神。这都不关乎⾃⼰的努⼒；⽽ 秘诀就在于仰望主耶稣。圣经说祂是为我 们信⼼创始成终的 。祂是信⼼的起点和终点。这不关乎我们，我们在其中毫⽆能⼒。因此，信⼼不关乎我们⾃⼰的能⼒。 唯⼀要做的就是选择仰望主耶稣。如果你 正在历经⽣命的⻛暴，或是你正⾯临巨⼤的压⼒，⼜或你的前⾯有座⼤⼭阻挡了你的前路，⾝为主耶稣的新妇，选择转眼仰 望主耶稣，祂是为你信⼼创始成终的耶稣。 这⾥的希腊⽂单词 “仰望 ”的意思是“aphorao”，意思是从⼀件事上转眼看向另⼀件事。主耶稣在告诉你，要把不好的体检报告放下，只单单看向祂。你能否放开⽣命中的懊悔，⽽转眼看向祂？你能否放下那困扰你，使你彻夜难眠的问题，⽽转眼看向祂？我们能否都回转看向那位深爱我们的新郎？我们能否相信祂有能⼒来照顾我们？因为在我们⼀⽣中，祂⼀直都是如此信实。

When we talk about faith, it is not about how we can increase our faith. It is not about how we can make ourselves believe and depend on God. It is nothing about using our own efforts. The secret is to look unto Jesus. The bible says that He is the author and finisher of our faith. He is the start and the finisher of our faith. There is nothing of us there, nothing about what we can do in the middle of this faith. So, faith is nothing about us. The only thing we need to do is to look unto Jesus. If you are going through a storm in your life, if you are having a stressful time, if you see a big mountain in front of you, as a bride of Jesus, choose to look upon Jesus, the start and the finisher of your faith. The Greek word for “looking” here is “aphorao” which means turning away from one thing to look at another. Perhaps Jesus is telling you to turn away from that bad medical report and just look upon Him. Can you turn away from that regret in your life and look at Him? Can you turn away from that issue that is bothering you and making you sleepless at night, and look unto Him? Can we all turn to look at our bridegroom who loves us so much? Can we just trust Him to take care of our lives? Because all our lives, He has been faithful.

约翰一书 1John 2:16

Friday, February 21, 2025

约翰⼀书 2:16 因为凡世界上的事，就像⾁体的情欲，眼⽬的情欲并今⽣的骄傲，都不是从⽗来的，乃是从世界来的。(现代标点和合本)
1John 2: 16 For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. (NKJV)

⽆论我们是否愿意承认，我们的⽣活往往是围绕着今⽣的骄傲和⾃以为是。我们以我们的孩⼦、事业、财富和外貌为傲。⻢ 太福⾳6:32说天⽗知道我们需要的这⼀切， 但它告诉我们⾸先要寻求神的国和神的义。 世界上的财富和成就或许可以带来短暂的满⾜，但它们永远⽆法真正满⾜我们。拥有⼀ 辆新⻋的兴奋感会随着时间的推移⽽消退， 甚⾄婚姻的新鲜感也会随着时间⽽消逝。然⽽，神召唤我们追求更深⼊，更持久的东 西。在耶稣的第⼀个神迹中，祂在⼀场婚筵上把⽔变成酒。神呼召我们拥有⼀段令⼈陶醉如酒的婚姻⽣活，这意味着你的婚姻⽣活是随着岁⽉的流逝⽽变得更加精彩和充实。

Truth be told, our earthly journey often revolves around the pursuit of pride and self-importance. We find pride in various aspects of life, such as our children, businesses, wealth, and appearances. Matthew 6:32 says that the Father knows that we need all these things, but it tells us to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness. The allure of worldly possessions and achievements may bring temporary satisfaction, but they can never truly fulfill us. The excitement of acquiring a new car may fade over time, and even the initial thrill of marriage might diminish after several years. However, God calls us to something more profound and lasting. In the first miracle of Jesus, He turned water into wine at a wedding. God calls us to have a marriage that is intoxicating like wine, which means your marital life should grow more exciting and fulfilling as the years pass by.

使徒⾏传 Acts 17:28

Thursday, February 20, 2025

使徒⾏传 17: 28 因在他⾥⾯，我们⽣活、活动、存留... (译NKJV版)
Acts 17:28 for in Him we live and move and have our being... (NKJV)

教会，现在你晓得了如何住在主耶稣⾥⾯。当你领受祂的话语并应⽤在你的⽇常⽣活中，你就是住在主耶稣⾥⾯。当我们常在主耶稣⾥，我们⽣活，活动，存留都 在于祂。为什么很多时候我们失去喜乐 呢？因为我们忘了我们只是属⾎⽓的存 在。我们不断的被外在的需求和获取所消耗。神呼召我们只单单简单地“存留” - 晓得我们真实的存在，不要试图模仿别⼈或者伪装成他人。只有在主耶稣⾥⾯，我们才得以⽣活、活动、存留，成为真实的⾃⼰，并在属灵中得着满⾜。 ⻢太福⾳ 4:4 耶稣却回答说：“经上记着说： ⼈活着，不是单靠⻝物， 乃是靠神⼝⾥所出的⼀切 话。” "⼈活着，不是单靠⻝物，乃是靠神⼝⾥所出的⼀切话"。

Church, you now know what it is like to be in Jesus. When you apply His word in your life, you are abiding in Jesus. When we are in Jesus, we can live, move, and have our being. Why are we unhappy sometimes? We lose sight of the fact that we are just human beings. Let us not be obsessed by the never-ending quest for doing and acquiring. God has called us to "be" - to embrace our true selves without attempting to imitate others or trying to be someone else. Only in Jesus we can live and move, have our being, and be satisfied in our souls. Matthew 4:4 (NKJV) But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ” Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that comes from the mouth of God. ”

雅各书 James 1:5

Wednesday, February 19, 2025

雅各书1:5 你们中间若有缺少智慧的，应当求那厚 赐与众⼈，也不斥责⼈的神，主就必赐给他。(现代标点和合本)
James 1:5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. (NKJV)

你觉得缺少智慧吗？或许有些⼈觉得⾃⼰已经拥有智慧，认为现有的知识⾜以应对⽣活。然⽽，我们都必须承认，我们都缺少智慧。⽆论是在沟通技巧和⼈际关系，在经营⽣意和养育孩⼦⽅⾯都缺少智慧。但圣经告诉我们，如果我们缺少智慧，可以来寻求神，祂必厚赐与我们，并且不会斥责我们。祂必慷慨地赐与我们，且不会为难我们，因祂看我们为义⼈。 因耶稣的⼀次献祭，便叫那得以成圣的⼈永远完全 (希伯来书10:14)。这意味着我们 在基督⾥的位置和⾝份是永远完全的。在基督⾥我们是义⼈，但⾝为神的孩⼦，在我们的⽇常⽣活中，我们的⽣命是⼀个领受基督在⼗架所成就的过程。在领受智慧的过程中，我们的⽣命是越来越好的。圣经说，义⼈的道路是越来越明亮的。阿们！

Do you find yourself lacking wisdom? Some individuals may hold the belief that they already possess wisdom, deeming their existing knowledge sufficient for navigating life's journey. However, it is essential for us to know the truth that every one of us lacks wisdom. We lack wisdom in communication and in our relationships, managing our businesses and parenting our children. The bible tells us that if we lack wisdom, we can ask of God and He will give it to us all liberally and without reproach. God will give it to us generously without finding fault with us because God sees us as righteous. With one sacrifice, Jesus has perfected forever those who are being sanctified (Hebrews 10:14). By one sacrifice He has made perfect forever those who are being made holy. Our standing in Christ and our identity has been perfected forever. We are entirely righteous in Christ. As believers, in our daily living, we are continuously being sanctified and made holy. It is a process. As we receive wisdom, our life will progressively improve. The bible says the life of the righteous will be brighter and brighter. Let us all pray for divine wisdom today. Amen!

罗马书 Romans 6:4

Tuesday, February 18, 2025

罗⻢书 6:4 所以，我们借着洗礼归⼊死，和他⼀同 埋葬，原是叫我们⼀举⼀动有新⽣的样 式，像基督借着⽗的荣耀从死⾥复活⼀样。(现代标点和合本)
Romans 6:4 We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life. (NIV)

今天，我们在洗礼时浸⼊⽔中象征着我们与主耶稣在祂的死中合⼀。因此，想像我们与主耶稣⼀同被交在⼗字架上⾄关重要。这种想像使我们能够⼀同与祂复活， 叫我们的⼀举⼀动有新⽣的样式。我们过去的旧我已经与主耶稣⼀同埋葬在⼗字架 上，⽽在祂的复活中，我们也得了重⽣， 迎来了全新的⽣命。圣经确定的告诉我们，我们是新造的⼈，旧事已过，都变成新的了。阿们！ 此刻，我们都充满了年轻活⼒和朝⽓，被赋予全新的⽣命。在诗篇九⼗⼆篇说那些 栽于耶和华殿中的⼈，即使年⽼的时候仍要结果⼦，并发旺在神的院⼦⾥。我们要看到，当主耶稣⾛上⼗字架时，我们与祂⼀同在⼗字 架上被献了；当祂复活时，我们也与祂⼀同复活，所以我们是活祭。圣经说这是真实，合宜的敬拜。 所以，当你遇到任何的挑战，与其靠⾃⼰的知识和努⼒胜过，不如相信你已经与主耶稣⼀同被献祭和埋葬，与祂⼀同复活， 所以今天你可以有新⽣的样式。亲爱的朋友，圣经不断地告诉你，你并不孤单；以⻢内利与你同在，神永远与你同在。

Today, we have been buried with Jesus into death through baptism. Therefore, let us see ourselves buried together with Jesus on the cross to live a new life just as Jesus was raised from the dead. Our old selves have been buried with Jesus on the cross, and we have raised together with Him to a new life. According to the Bible, we are now a new creation; the old has passed, and the new has come. Amen! We are all young and revitalized today. We have a new life. The Bible in Psalms 92 states that those planted in the house of the Lord will bear fruit in old age, and you will be fresh and flourishing. We are to understand that when Jesus went to the cross, we were sacrificed together with Him. We were raised with Him when He was risen, hence we are a living sacrifice. Moreover, the Bible states that this is true and proper worship. Hence, whenever you encounter any issue, instead of depending on your own knowledge and efforts, believe that you have already been sacrificed and buried together with Jesus and raised up together with Him so that today you can expect to live a new life. Dear friends, the Bible continuously reminds you that you are not alone; Immanuel is with you, and God is always with you.

以赛亚书 Isaiah 43:18-19

Monday, February 17, 2025

以赛亚书 43:18 耶和华如此说：你们不要记念从前的事，也不要待在过去中。(译 NIV版)
以赛亚书 43:19 看哪，我要作做⼀件新事，如今要发现，你们岂不知道吗？我必在旷野开道路，在沙漠开江河。(现代标点和合本)
Isaiah 43:18-19 Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland. (NIV)

然⽽，有些⼈即便活在当下，但思维仍然沉浸在过去。这可能是由于经历了不幸的童年，被亲近之⼈所背叛，或来⾃某⼈的侮辱，⼜或是其他不愉快的经历所导致。但，当神召我们活在当下时，为什么你还依然纠结于过去呢？神告诉你不要沉溺于过去。祂现在正在为你做⼀件新事。祂也在为你孩⼦的⽣活做⼀件新事。在今年剩下的⽇⼦，祂会为你做⼀件新事。如今这些新事已经出现了，你岂不知道吗？我们当中很多⼈都⽆法在⼼⾥看⻅主为我们所预备的。与其⽤⼼去感受，我们总在过度思考。当我们过于理性⽽只看到消极的⼀⾯时，我们就会失去⽣活中的乐趣。圣经说，神在旷野为你开辟道路，在沙漠为你开江河；祂正在供应你。阿们！今天神在问你：“你岂不知道我正在你的⽣命中做⼀件新事吗？”

Yet, some people dwell on the past despite being physically present. This may be caused by a bad childhood experience, the unfaithfulness of someone close, an insult by someone, or some other bad experience. Why are you still living in the past when God has called you to live in the present? God is telling you not to dwell on the past. He is now doing something new for you, giving you something new in your children's lives. He is doing something new for you for the rest of the year. Now it appears; do you not perceive it? Many of us cannot see in our hearts what the Lord has in store for us. We are not perceiving, but we are reasoning. When we infer too much and see only the negatives, we lose the joy in life. According to the Bible, God is providing a way for you in your wilderness and when you are thirsty. God says He is making streams for you and providing for you in the wasteland. Amen! Today, God is asking you, "Do you not perceive that I am doing a new thing in your life?"

路加福音 Luke 15:23

Sunday, February 16, 2025

路加福⾳ 15:23 把那肥⽜犊牵来宰了，我们可以吃喝快乐！(现代标点和合本)
Luke 15:23 Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate. (NIV)

这是⽐喻中最重要的⼀点。在整篇浪⼦的故事中，主耶稣要我们专注的重点不是在于浪⼦的过错，⽽是这肥⽜犊已经牵来被 宰了。如同在⼈⽣中，我们经常倾向于专注在⾃⼰的缺点、错误、软弱和易怒中。 然⽽，天⽗不要我们专注在⾃⼰的过失上，重点是肥⽜犊已经被宰了。神已经差遣祂的⼉⼦为我们死在⼗字架上了；耶稣的宝⾎已经为我们流了，祂的⾝体已经被掰开了。 ⽗亲说了什么呢 ？“我们可以吃喝快乐。”祂没有说，“你⾃⼰吃喝快乐。”⽽是“我们可以…”-- 就是⽗亲和⼉⼦⼀起。同 样，今天你正与天⽗⼀同坐在天上吃喝快乐。你与天⽗⼀同来欢庆，所以你的⽣命是可以喜乐起来的。 肥⽜犊代表什么呢？它意味着今天你在吃主耶稣的⾝体，你喝祂的⾎，这就是你得以喜乐的原因。这喜乐并不取决于我们的⾏为过失或缺乏。所以今天，即便我们有软弱，我们犯了错，我们也⽆需躲避神。 因为肥⽜犊已经牵来宰了。今天，天⽗要 我们守住我们的位置和⾝份。当我们领受主耶稣的⾝体和宝⾎时，我们就有满⾜与喜乐，⽽这并不取决于我们的⾏为表现。 重要的是，肥⽜犊已经被当成祭物献上了。所以今天，我们与天⽗可以⼀同吃喝快乐。阿们！

This particular aspect of the parable holds great significance. What Jesus wants us to grasp here is not the prodigal son's faults. The fattened calf has been killed. Often, we tend to dwell on our own shortcomings, mistakes, weaknesses, and temper issues. However, God is not preoccupied with our shortfalls. The fattened calf has already been sacrificed. God has already sent His Son to die on the cross for us. Jesus' blood has been shed, and His body has been broken. And what did the father say? ‘Let’s have a feast and celebrate.” He did not say, “You have a feast and celebrate.” It's "Let’s..." - involving both the father and the son. Likewise, today, you are sitting together with your heavenly Father and feasting. You are celebrating with your heavenly Father, so you can be joyful. What significance does the fattened calf hold? It means that today, you are feasting on Jesus’ body. You are drinking His blood, which is why you can be joyful. This joy is not dependent on our actions or lack thereof. Hence today, we do not need to hide from God even if we have made mistakes. The fattened calf has already been killed. Today, God desires us to remember our position and identity. When we partake of Jesus’ body and His blood, we will be satisfied and joyful, not related to our performance. What truly matters is that the fattened calf has already been sacrificed. Consequently, today, we can feast and celebrate in the presence of our heavenly Father. Amen!

罗马书 Romans 7:6

Saturday, February 15, 2025

罗⻢书 7: 6 但我们既然在捆我们的律法上死了，现今就脱离了律法，叫我们服侍主，要按着⼼灵的新样，不按着仪⽂的旧样。(现代标点和合本)
Romans 7:6 But now we have been delivered from the law, having died to what we were held by, so that we should serve in the newness of the Spirit and not in the oldness of the letter. (NKJV)

当我们还在律法下的时候，虽然律法是良善的，但它⽆法在⽣活上给予我们任何的帮助。它只能告诉我们，我们是不完美的，并设⽴了各样标准。但这些标准对我 们来说是不可能达到的。相反，在恩典之下，我们是按着⼼灵的新样，不是按着仪⽂的旧样。举⼀个例⼦，⽐如我们在约会的时候不是按照特定的步骤或 顺序⾏事，⽽是按着⼼的本意。 当你明⽩这两个丈夫之间的区别，你会选择那⼀个丈夫呢？当你接受耶稣，你就属 于耶稣。第⼀个丈夫亚当只会使你觉得你不配，总是在错误中打转。但另⼀⽅⾯， 在耶稣之下，因着祂的⼀滴⾎，形成了中⽂字“义”，意味着你在基督⾥是神的义。 因此，我们⾮常蒙福可以彻底脱离第⼀个丈夫 (律法) 的捆绑，并被第⼆个丈夫 (耶稣) 所接纳。今天，我们是何等的蒙福。

Previously when we were under the law, although the law is good, it could not help you. It could only tell you your imperfections and set the standard that needs to be fulfilled. The standard that needs to be met is impossible for us. Conversely, under grace, we serve in the newness of the Spirit and not in the oldness of the letter with our heart. For an example in a relationship, we do not follow particular steps or orders in a date, but rather is based on the heart. When you know the difference between these two husbands, which one do you choose? When you accept Jesus, you are under Jesus. The first husband, Adam, only deemed that you are unworthy, always in the wrong “X”. On the other hand, under Jesus, because of one drip of His blood, the Chinese word “ 义 ” is formed, meaning you are righteous in Christ. Hence, we are blessed to be freed from the first husband and accepted by the second husband. Let us now see what changed before and after we accepted Christ. Today, we are so blessed.

诗篇 Psalm 27:5

Friday, February 14, 2025

诗篇 27:5 因为我遭遇患难，他必暗暗地保守我， 在他亭⼦⾥，把我藏在他帐幕的隐密处，将我⾼举在磐⽯上。(现代标点和合本)
Psalm 27:5 For in the day of trouble He will keep me safe in His dwelling; He will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent and set me high upon a rock. (NIV)

你们有多少⼈想藏在祂的隐秘处？亲爱的，真理是：主⼀直与你同在；祂总不撇下你，也不丢弃你。但关键是：你是否意识到祂的同在呢？每早晨当你醒来， 你是否有意识到祂与你同在？⽆论你是否意识到，主都与你同在。阿们！然⽽，不 同之处在于你是活在惧怕中还是活在安息中。朋友，不要活在惧怕中；我们都不想要失眠的夜晚，不再要⾃⼰掌控⼀切。 让我们都意识到主的同在，祂必持续的提升我们的⽣命到更⾼处，祂必暗暗地保守我们；⼀⽣⼀世⼀必有恩惠和慈爱随着我们。我们成功是因为主与我们同在，⽽不是因为我们拥有什么或做了什么。祂不是遥不可及的神，祂与我们是相近的。祂说那住在⾄⾼神隐秘处的⼈必住在全能者的荫下。我们要如何住在祂的荫下呢？这需要与祂⾮常的靠近。你是否有察觉到主耶稣与你⾮常相近呢？祂晓得你⼼中的每⼀个惧怕，忧虑和苦楚。现在是你转向祂的时候，告诉祂你要把⼀切的忧虑和惧怕都交在祂⼿中。在这对的时机，你要把你的孩⼦、事业和健康都交托在祂⼿中。阿们！

How many of you desire to be safe in His dwelling? Beloved, the truth is that the Lord is always with you. He will never leave you nor forsake you. The question is: Are you conscious of His presence in your life? When you wake up tomorrow morning, will you be mindful of His presence? Regardless of whether you are aware of it or not, the Lord is still with you. Amen! However, the difference is that you will either live a life of fear or a life of rest. Friends, let us not live with fear in life. We do not want sleepless nights. We do not want to control everything ourselves. Let us all be conscious that the Lord is always with us and will raise us up in life. He will keep us safe. His goodness and mercy will pursue us all the days of our lives. We are successful because the Lord is with us, not because of what we have or do. He is not distant, He is very close. Those who dwell in the secret place of the Most High God will be under the shadow of the Almighty. How do we step into His shadow? We need to be very close to Him for it to be so. Do you realize that Jesus is very close to you right now? He understands every fear, every worry, and every bitterness in your heart. It is time for you to turn to Him and tell Him that you want to submit every worry and fear to Him. You want to entrust your children, business, and health into His hands under the kairos time. Amen!

路加福音 Luke 24:27

Thursday, February 13, 2025

路加福⾳ 24:27 于是从摩西和众先知起，凡经上所指着⾃⼰的话，都给他们讲解明⽩了。(现代标点和合本)
Luke 24:27 And beginning at Moses and all the Prophets, He expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself. (NKJV)

在与他们同⾏的时候，主耶稣向这两个⻔徒详细解释了圣经中关于⾃⼰的事，从摩西开始，直到众先知。如果你的⽣命要有盼望，如果你渴望突破，不想虚度这⼀年，来开始进⼊与耶稣基督有关的事 ⸺ 祂在你的⽣命中对你说什么？祂要告诉你什么？ 因此，将神的话语铭记在⼼中，以在有需要或抑郁时得着及时的帮助。⾯对惧怕时，朋友或家⼈安慰的话也⽆法提供持久的安慰；同样，朋友激励的话语也⽆法帮助你胜过你的瘾症。因此，我们需要⼀个坚固台或锚来⽀撑我们的⽣命，就是神的话。当我们在⼼中相信祂，我们也要来了解天⽗的⼼意。你看祂是审判的神，还是看祂为充满恩惠怜悯的神？圣经印证了主耶稣来是为了替我们成全了律法对我们的所有要求。你能在这真理中看到天⽗对我们的恩慈吗？没有⼀个罪是主耶稣的宝⾎⽆法洗净的。我们所需要做的就是相信在基督⾥我们是神的义。

While walking alongside them, Jesus expounded these two disciples the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures, beginning from Moses to all the Prophets. If you seek hope in life, desire breakthroughs, and are determined not to let this year go to waste, start delving into matters concerning this one man, Jesus Christ – what is He proclaiming in your life? What is He telling you? Hence, keep the word of God in memory for aid in times of need or depression. When confronted by fear, no comforting words from friends or family can provide lasting comfort. Similarly, words of encouragement from friends cannot help you combat your addictions. Hence, We need a steadfast platform or anchor, and that is the word of God which can sustain us in life. As we start believing Him in our hearts, let us also understand the heart of our heavenly Father. Do you perceive Him as a punitive God or are you seeing Him as a God of grace? The bible attests that Jesus came to fulfil all the requirements of the law on our behalf. Can you discern the grace of the Father in this truth? There is not a single sin which has not been addressed by the blood of Jesus. All we need to do is to believe that we have been made righteous in Christ.
