对今日诗句的想法
不同于同时代的教师们，耶稣并不需要用以往教师们的晦涩引述来支撑自己的教导。主耶稣是神的道，讲述神的话语，按天父的旨意说话、行事。主耶稣的生命和话语都具有真实性，使人感受到跨越时代的力量，呼召着我们归向他的真道。这位耶稣，我们的老师、我们的主，与众不同——他的话语满有能力，他的教导是真理。所以，我们必定热心追随他的旨意！
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Unlike the teachers of his day, Jesus didn't have to shore up his teaching with obscure quotes from past teachers and well-known rabbis. Jesus, the very Word of God (John 1:1-18), spoke the words of God. He did and said what the Father willed. His life and his words had the ring of authenticity. The gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) want to spark an awareness in us of Jesus' power and authority so that through the ages, they still invite us to embrace his truth and follow him as our Lord. This Jesus, our Teacher and Savior, is so much more than another great teacher, extraordinary prophet, or wise sage. His words are powerful. His teachings are authoritative. His life is breathtaking. His love is beyond compare. So, dear friend of Jesus, his will must be our passion!
我的祷告
圣洁的神啊，感谢你通过你的先知们以及圣经向我们说话。天父啊，我更要感谢赞美你经由主耶稣所传达出的最美好的信息。当我看到主耶稣生命的品格时，深深被你所吸引；当我听到主耶稣话语中的权柄时，我渴求谦卑顺服在你的面前。感谢你赐下主耶稣作为我们的老师、向导、我们的主、救主。奉主耶稣之名祈求，阿们！
My Prayer...
Holy God, thank you for speaking through your prophets and the holy Scriptures. But, dear Father, I praise you for speaking your most complete and perfect message in Jesus. As I see the character of his life, I am drawn to you. As I hear the authenticity in his words and see them demonstrated in his sacrificial life, I seek to obey him and follow him as his disciple. Thank you for sending Jesus to be my teacher, my guide, my Lord, and my Savior. I pray this in his name, Jesus the Messiah and Son of God. Amen.
