对今日诗句的想法
我们往往定睛于神在旧约时代对其百姓迅速而剧烈的管教与惩罚，并且惊讶于神的严厉。圣灵提醒我们，这就是事实——抗拒神的恩典并且奚落主耶稣的牺牲，这样的行为必将受到神的惩罚。神的恩典美好而令人惊叹！然而拒绝神的恩典，拒绝主耶稣以及他为救赎我们所付出的一切，则将导致灾祸且离弃了真正恩典的源头。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
We often look at the swift and dramatic discipline and punishment God used with his people in the Old Testament and are struck by its severity. The Holy Spirit reminds us that while this was true, to spurn grace and ridicule the sacrificial death of Jesus are actions all the more worthy of God's punishment. Grace is incredible. It is marvelous. But to reject Jesus and all he did to bring us God's love and salvation is to court disaster and reject any source of grace. Rejecting Jesus has harsh consequences, so please, dear friend, don't! Please don't reject God's offer of love, mercy, grace, hope, and salvation in Jesus. As the apostle Peter said while inspired by the Holy Spirit:
Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12).
我的祷告
圣洁、公义的天父啊，感谢你为我们所承受的苦难与代价，感谢你所赐的恩典。请赐予我力量将你的恩典带给他人；请赐予我能力与人分享你的美好恩典，使他人也能够认识你的救赎，从而无需因拒绝主耶稣而面对审判。奉主耶稣之名祈求，阿们！
My Prayer...
Holy and righteous Father, thank you for your painful and costly gift of grace. Please empower me to be a transmitter and sharer of that grace to others. Please bless me with the ability to share the message of Jesus in all its loveliness so others can know your salvation and not have to face your justice after having spurned your gracious gift to them in Jesus, in whose name I pray and plead. Amen.
