对今日诗句的想法
主耶稣为什么与罪人在一起呢？因为我们需要他！这项事实中的哪一点更重要呢，是主耶稣渴望拯救我们，还是我们认识到自己的罪呢？最重要的当然是主耶稣渴望拯救我们！因为如果没有主耶稣，那么认识自己的罪只能够给我们带来绝望。然而如果我们不能意识到自己需要主的恩典，那么主为我们所做的牺牲便是枉然。因此，就让我们赞美主耶稣——我们慈爱的、甘愿牺牲的救主！但同时也让我们认识到，我们需要主满有怜悯的奇妙恩典！
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Why did Jesus associate with sinners? Because we need him to associate with us! What's the most crucial part of that truth: Jesus' desire to love and save us or our recognition of our need for him in our sinfulness? Of course, the most crucial truth is Jesus' desire to love and save us. Without him, recognizing our sinfulness would only lead us to despair. At the same time, however, if we don't acknowledge our need for Jesus' love and grace, the Lord's sacrifice for us is lost to us. So, let's praise Jesus as our loving and sacrificial Savior as we acknowledge our need for his merciful love and mighty grace!
我的祷告
慈爱的天父啊，我从内心深处感谢赞美你，感谢你将主耶稣赐给了我们作为我们的救主！亲爱的天父啊，同时我向你承认，我仍在罪中挣扎。我希望罪能够彻底离开我的生命，然而我却发现自己无法摆脱罪的阴霾与污垢。若是没有你的恩典与主耶稣的牺牲，我知道自己不可能作为你洁净的孩子站立在你的面前。愿主饶恕我如下的这些罪...，感谢赞美你仁慈地饶恕我们的罪，请接受我对你的赞美，奉主耶稣之名祈求，阿们！
My Prayer...
Gracious Father, I praise you from the bottom of my heart for providing Jesus as my Savior. At the same time, dear Father, I confess I struggle with sin. I want sin entirely out of my life, yet I find that I cannot rid myself of its constant shadow and its penetrating stain. Without your grace and the love and mercy of Jesus, I know I could not stand before you as your pure child. So, please forgive me for the sins I confess to you now...
As I have received your love, mercy, grace, and forgiveness, please receive my praise for your gracious forgiveness. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
