对今日诗句的想法
今天，我的世界是美好的——好天气、很棒的教会、爱我的伴侣、出色的子女，并且受祝福得到了一切我所真正需要的。然而这一切都会改变：生命与死亡相捆绑；爱的另一头系着不完美的人；因距离、分歧和死亡而产生的分离，也起到一定的推动作用。然而在主里，我却有着不可思议的祝福，我真正的、永恒的生命已经与基督一同藏在神里面了。现在我生命中的事物也许很美，它们总会面临死亡。但当主降临时，一切将变得荣耀、完美，再也不会被魔鬼、死亡或衰败所玷污。多好的消息啊！
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
My world is beautiful today — great weather, wonderful church, loving spouse, great kids, and blessed with all I truly need. But this will certainly change. Life is bound up with mortality. Love is connected to imperfect people. Separation by geographical distance, disagreement, and death are bound to happen at different points in our lives. However, my incredible assurance in Christ is that my true and lasting "life is now hidden with Christ in God." While things may be good in my life now, they're always vulnerable to being touched by mortality — changed by our broken world, flawed people, and personal missteps. When Christ comes, however, my life with God will be made gloriously perfect and unstained by evil, death, or decay. Now that's good news — and not just for me, but also for you as you center your life in Jesus!
我的祷告
圣洁、公义的神啊，感谢你遮盖我们，你丰盛的恩典救我们脱离了罪。感谢你赐下主耶稣！主耶稣从死里复活确保了我的复活，以及你所有子民的复活和联合。请接受我的感恩和赞美，直到我能当面称颂你的那一天，阿们！
My Prayer...
Holy and Righteous God, we thank you for your overwhelming and generous grace that saved us from sin. Thank you for Jesus, whose resurrection from the dead ensures our ultimate transformation into life forever with you and the resurrection reunion we will have with all who belong to you. Until that day when we get to praise you face to face, please receive our thanks and praise in Jesus' name. Amen.
