对今日诗句的想法
耶稣在上十字架之前，向门徒表明了在一个以十架为中心的群体中如何生活。他谦卑自己至家仆的位置，来洗门徒的脚。尽管他知道门徒会远离自己，不认识自己，背叛并否认自己，他依然洗他们的脚。不可思议！然而，他也吩咐我照样去行。耶稣说：“你们若不爱那些我所为之受苦并受死的对象，就不是爱我。”（见约翰一书3：14-18和4：7-12）
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Before Jesus went to the cross, he showed his disciples what living in a cross-centered community means. He took the position of a household slave and washed his disciples' feet. He did it knowing they would run from him, disown him, betray him, and deny him. He washed THOSE dirty feet — their feet. Incredible! But he also says that I'm to do it, too. "You can't say you love me," Jesus says, "if you won't love those I suffered and died to save" (1 John 3:14-18, 4:7-12).
我的祷告
神啊，我愿变得像你的儿子我的教师一样。我要离弃为自己谋划的习惯，好让我能真正去服侍你的儿女，哪怕他们对我并不友善。求你赐我力量、勇气和忍耐来活出我所信的，并更完美地反映基督的品格。奉我主耶稣之名求，阿门！
My Prayer...
O God, I want to be like my Teacher and your Son. I renounce my self-seeking ways so that I can genuinely serve your children, my brothers and sisters — even those who may not be kind to me. Please give me the strength, courage, and patience to live up to these convictions and more perfectly reflect the character of Jesus in my life. In the name of Christ Jesus, my Lord, I pray. Amen.
