对今日诗句的想法
《约翰福音》所记载的伟大故事之一就是关于尼哥底母的故事。他夜里来见耶稣,耶稣告诉他那爱真理的人会来就光。后来,尽管遭人嘲笑,他还为耶稣说话。然后,在政治和宗教都最为黑暗的时候,他表明自己是耶稣的门徒。他把耶稣的身体领走,协助亚利马太人约瑟一起将耶稣安葬在坟墓里。尼哥底母没有住在黑暗之中。我们也不当如此。耶稣是世界的光。我们若不在他里面找到自己的光,我们的黑暗会何等大!
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
One of the great stories in the Gospel of John is Nicodemus. Nicodemus was a great teacher who came to Jesus at night, and Jesus told him that those who love the truth would come to the light. Later, Nicodemus spoke up for Jesus even though he was ridiculed for it. Then, at the worst possible time, politically and religiously, Nicodemus showed himself as Jesus' disciple. He took the broken and dead body of Jesus and helped Joseph of Arimathea place Jesus' body in a tomb. Nicodemus didn't stay in the darkness, he came to Jesus from the darkness to the light. Neither should we. Jesus is the light of the world; if our light cannot be found in him, how deep is our darkness?
我的祷告
父啊,我想在光中与你同行。各各他的黑暗并没有熄灭耶稣的光,反而让这光更加照耀在我身上。在十字架上,我看到你对我的爱。在十字架上,我明白耶稣已除去了我的罪。在十字架上,耶稣的爱将你我变得完美。父啊,我感谢你的救恩。感谢耶稣无比的牺牲。奉你完美的羔羊耶稣之名求,阿门!
My Prayer...
Father, I want to walk in the light with you. The darkness of Calvary, the cross, and crucifixion, did not extinguish your light in Jesus. It made his light burn even more brightly for me. At the cross, I see your love for me. At the cross, I realize that Jesus took my sins away. At the cross, I see Jesus' love for both you and me, and that love is perfected. Thank you, Father, for your gracious salvation. Thank you, Jesus, for your incredible sacrifice. And thank you, Jesus, for your light in the midst of our darkness. In your name, O, Jesus, our perfect Lamb, I pray. Amen.
