对今日诗句的想法
“耶稣是主！”这不仅仅意味着我们信靠他的恩典，将我们的生命降服于他的旨意之下。 “耶稣是主！”这也意味着一切的被造都是属他的。所有的天使、魔鬼和灵都在他以下，他们被造的目的是为了荣耀和服侍他。即使魔鬼选择不荣耀和服侍他，这一选择并没有改变他们存在本应有的目的，也不会改变耶稣在自己的受死和复活上胜过了他们这一事实。这意味着整个宇宙，如此浩瀚和荣耀，是为了他而造的，为了彰显他的荣耀。他是神的形象，是向我们显明的神的同在，他是我们的王、主和救主。如果我们的生命在他手中，我们的心降服于他的旨意，那没有任何人或任何事物能够阻挡他为我们并在我们里面取得终极的得胜。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
"Jesus is Lord!" This means everything in all creation ranks below Jesus in authority and power. Every angel, demon, and spirit is subservient to Jesus. Their purpose, and the purpose of all creation, is to honor and serve Jesus. Even though demons have chosen not to honor and serve Jesus as Lord now, their rebellion does not change their purpose or alter the truth of Jesus' triumph over them. He showed his superiority over them through his crucifixion and resurrection (Colossians 2:12-15). With its vast expanse and magnificence, the universe was made by Jesus to declare his supremacy. When Jesus returns in glory, "every knee [will] bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father (Philippians 2:10-11).
Saying "Jesus is Lord!" doesn't necessarily mean that we have yielded our lives to his will and trusted in his grace, but it does mean we should recognize this truth and yield our lives in obedience before he returns in glory (Matthew 7:21-23). As God's image in human flesh, Jesus is Immanuel, God's presence among us as our King, Lord, and Savior (Matthew 1:23; John 1:1-18; Hebrews 1:1-3). When our lives and hearts are yielded to his will, then no one and nothing can prevent his ultimate victory for us from becoming God's ultimate reality for us!
我的祷告
圣洁全能的神，感谢你在耶稣里显明你自己。感谢你胜过了一切的权势和被造。感谢你赐我信心，因我属你，任何外部的权势或被造的力量都无法将属你的夺走。奉创造之主和万有之王的名求，阿门！
My Prayer...
Holy and Almighty God, thank you for revealing yourself in Jesus. Thank you for triumphing over all powers and every created thing and being. Thank you for giving me the confidence that I belong to you; no outside force nor any power in creation can have what belongs to you. In your name, O God, the Creator and King of all, I pray. Amen.
