对今日诗句的想法
在第一世纪时期安提阿是一个伟大的教会。这座教堂拥有得天独厚非常有才华的犹太和外邦的耶稣的门徒。这些门徒是耶稣的第一批追随者称为基督徒。许多这些新信徒在他们的社区教导和传播福音给他人。这里的“许多人”提醒我们,早期教会的力量并不局限于其众所周知的领导人,而且还涉及其成员的普遍奉献和使用上帝给了他们的天赋去服务于他人。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Antioch was a great church in the first century. God blessed this church with both Jewish and Gentile disciples who were very talented. These disciples were the first followers of Jesus in the New Testament who were called Christians. Many of these new Christians taught and evangelized others in their community and the region around them. These "many others" who "taught and preached the word of the Lord" remind us that the power of the early Church was not limited to its well-known leaders. Church life in Antioch involved its members' dedication to ministering and using the gifts that God had given them to serve others.
我的祷告
全能和强大的上帝,请兴起一个承诺服务,祷告,传福音,并教导而让别人知道通过你的儿子耶稣你给我们的恩典的军队。每天重新武装基督徒的力量,就像在早期教会的日子那样!我以救主耶稣的强大之名祈祷。阿门。
My Prayer...
Almighty and powerful God, please raise an army of committed people who will serve, pray, evangelize, and teach so that others may know the grace you have given us in your Son. Please renew the power of everyday Christians in our day just as it was in the early Church! I ask this in the mighty name of Jesus, my Savior and Lord. Amen.
