对今日诗句的想法
约翰福音17章是圣经中最为动人的经文之一。主耶稣知道自己将要面对死亡，此刻是他在世间与使徒们相处的最后几个小时。然而使徒们却仍不明白主将要成就的事及其缘由。主耶稣预备自己以及使徒们，使他们预备前面没有自己同在的路程，在此过程中，主耶稣有两点核心目标——主耶稣期望他们合一，这样他们就能够坚定，为神影响世人；主耶稣期望他所做的能够荣耀天父。当主耶稣面对羞辱与唾弃时，他内心的渴望是祝福他人。我们都将面临困难，那么我们的目标是什么呢？是啊，难怪神提醒我们——将眼目关注于主耶稣并效法他的榜样。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
John 17 is one of the most moving chapters in all the Bible. Jesus knows he is going to die. He knows he is spending his last few hours before his death with disciples who do not understand what he is about to do and why he is about to do it. Jesus has two key goals in mind as he prepares himself, and his disciples, for their life ahead without him. He wants them to be one so they can remain strong and influence the world for God. He wants what he does to bring glory to the Father. While he faces humiliation and abandonment, his desire is to bless others. We are going to face hardship. What will be our goal? Hmm, no wonder we are reminded to fix our eyes on Jesus and follow his example.
我的祷告
慈爱的天父啊，当主耶稣如此真诚而无私地走上十字架时，你心中的痛苦与恩典超乎我的理解。主耶稣啊，你为我们留下了强有力的榜样，教导我们如何忍受生命最沉重的负担，我无法表达尽我的感恩。愿你使我的生命对他人成为祝福，赐予我勇气在患难中依然侍奉、祝福他人。奉主耶稣之名祈求，阿们！
My Prayer...
Loving Father, I cannot fathom the mysteries of anguish and grace that touched your heart as Jesus made his way to the Cross with such honesty and selflessness. Lord Jesus, I cannot thank you enough for leaving me a powerful example of how to endure life's heaviest burdens. Please make my life a blessing to others and give me courage to serve and to bless even in times that are hard. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
