对今日诗句的想法
有些事“第一要紧”，是我们手头最为重要的事。作为基督徒，毋庸置疑救赎的福音占据首位，福音基于单纯的根基：主耶稣死、埋葬、复活。主耶稣向其门徒显现，在见证了救主的复活后，门徒的生命就此改变。不要让任何人使我们从这核心的真理上分心，或是以其它所谓关键的信息排挤福音信息的单纯。我们的救赎扎根于我们的信心，并且分享这单纯而充满大能的福音。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Some things are "first importance" things. They lie at the heart of the matter and are central to the issue at hand. For us as Christians, we don't have to doubt what those "first importance" things are. The Gospel of our salvation is built on one simple foundation: Jesus died, Jesus was buried, Jesus rose from the grave, and Jesus appeared to his disciples who were never the same after witnessing their resurrected Savior. Let's not let anyone distract us from these core truths or crowd out their simplicity with other matters they may claim to be essential. Our salvation is rooted in our faith and our participation in this simple, yet powerful Gospel.
我的祷告
慈爱的父神，我相信你通过主耶稣对我所做的工。我相信你的爱子、我的救主耶稣被罪人钉死在十字架，正如你在经文中所述。我相信主耶稣死了并且被埋葬；我相信你按照承诺在第三天将主耶稣从死里复活；我相信因主的死而最为伤痛的人、最了解他的人，见证了他的复活。我相信这些见证主复活的人们，他们的生命从此改变。慈爱的天父啊，我相信当我承认对主耶稣的信心，并且通过洗礼分享主的死、埋葬与复活时，我的生命得蒙救赎，得以战胜死亡。感谢你的恩典！感谢你的应许！我期待当主再来的那一天，得享神的荣耀。感谢你所赐的救赎，奉主耶稣之名祈求，阿们！
My Prayer...
Dear God, I confess my faith in your work for me in Jesus. I believe that your Son and my Savior, Jesus, was crucified by wicked men just as you had said long ago in your Word. I believe his dead and lifeless body was placed in the tomb. I believe that on the third day, you brought him back to life, just as you promised. I believe that those most destroyed by his death, those who knew him best, saw him alive again. I believe their lives were never the same. I believe, dear Father, that as I have confessed my faith in Jesus and shared with him in his death, burial, and resurrection through baptism, that my life is caught up with him in your salvation and victory over death. I praise you for this grace. I thank you for this assurance. I look forward to sharing in your glory when he returns for me. Thank you for my salvation, in Jesus' name. Amen.
