对今日诗句的想法
若你知道公元二十年主耶稣在拿撒勒的地址,你定会前去并说,“神住在这里!”主耶稣是完全的神,又是完全的人——完全的神虚己舍弃一切神的权力(腓立比书2:5-7),这几乎无法理解,却是令人敬畏的恩典。神选择成为我们的样式,因为我们无法成为他。神来到我们中间,因为我们无法升到神那里。通过主耶稣,神完完全全地来到我们中间,使我们能够全然在他里面。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
If you had known Jesus' address in Nazareth along about A.D. 20, you could have gone to that house and said, "God lives here!" While the doctrine of Jesus being fully God and fully man — fully God yet having emptied himself of all of his divine privilege (Phil. 2:5-7) — is nearly impossible to fully understand, it is the awesome reality of grace. God chose to be like us because we could not be like him. God came down to us because we could not ascend to him. In Jesus, God came to us in fullness so we could be full in him.
我的祷告
全能的神啊,我认识到你是如此伟大,超乎我的理解。然而如此奇妙、伟大、威严的神啊,你的恩典更加美好。感谢你赐下主耶稣,使我能够认识你;感谢你赐下主耶稣,使我能够得救赎;感谢你赐下主耶稣,使我能够回天家与你永远同在。主耶稣啊,感谢你来拯救我又回到天父那里,使我能够通过你向天父诉说。主耶稣啊,奉你的名、因着你的恩典,我坦然地来到天父的座前祈求,阿们!
My Prayer...
Almighty God, I acknowledge that you are too great for me to comprehend. Yet as marvelous and mighty and majestic as you are, you’re greater than my mind can grasp. And your grace, O God, amazes me. Thank you for sending Jesus so I can know you. Thank you for sending Jesus so I could be forgiven. Thank you for sending Jesus so I can go home to you and live forever. Thank you Jesus, for coming to redeem me and then returning back to the Father so I can speak to him through you. In your name Jesus, and because of your grace, I pray with boldness before our Father. Amen.
