对今日诗句的想法
我们常常设法吸引大批市民到我们的教会，传道会，和集会。耶稣也服事一大波人群。但他最强的教学是远离人群，独自带着他的弟子的时候。普通人群能够接受的道无法达到只有成熟的门徒才能达到的与救世主同行的水平。因此，耶稣退出密集教学，而对一小群坚定的弟子传教，因此他使得他们成熟，让他们准备好未来的挑战。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
We often seek to attract large crowds to our churches, crusades, and rallies. Jesus also ministered to large crowds. However, the Lord's most passionate teaching on discipleship occurs away from the crowds when he is alone with his disciples. What the crowds can accept is not enough to call people to mature discipleship — to that next level in their walk with the Savior. But Jesus withdrew for intensive teaching with a small group of committed disciples to mature and prepare them for future challenges, even as great as his Passion.
我的祷告
神圣的上帝，请保佑我们的圣经学习小组和所有那些随处可见不管付出什么代价，都要寻求跟随你的人们。请带我到一小群可以分享我的人生的信徒中，通过他们，你会让我不断诚服于基督的主权。以耶稣的名祷告。阿门。
My Prayer...
Holy God, please bless the people in my Bible study group and everywhere seeking to follow you no matter the cost. Please lead me to a small group of believers with whom I can share my life and through whom you will challenge me to grow in my surrender to the Lordship of Christ so I can follow him in the way of the Cross. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
