对今日诗句的想法
打破种族与文化阻隔绝非易事。感谢神，圣灵并未许可我们安逸于自己的偏见，而是激励我们、引导并推动我们去打破种族仇恨与文化差异。就让我们欢欣赞美神推倒阻隔民族的每一道墙！让我们坚持，直到福音胜利的应许得以成就：“并不分犹太人、希腊人、自主的、为奴的，或男或女，因为你们在基督耶稣里都成为一了”(加拉太书3:28)。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Breaking through racial and cultural barriers is never easy, but this was the challenge early church leaders faced when the Holy Spirit led Peter to share the gospel with Cornelius and his household, and they became disciples of Jesus. The Jewish disciples had not anticipated Gentiles to come into Jesus' church. Thankfully, God's Spirit didn't let them settle comfortably into their prejudices. Instead, the Spirit challenged, led, and pushed them to break through racial hatred and cultural ignorance. So must we, today. Let's be the kind of people, Jesus' people, who rejoice and praise God as every racial barrier dividing people fall in Jesus. Let's press on until the triumphant promise of the Gospel is fulfilled: "There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." (Galatians 3:28). In doing this, we anticipate the incredible chorus of heaven as it praises God with folks from every language, tribe, people, and nation (Revelation 7:9-11). God longs to invite all peoples of the earth into his family of grace, love, and life!
我的祷告
圣洁神啊，我祈求你祝福世界各地所有努力尝试跨越文化、语言与民族差异去传扬主耶稣恩典的人们！他们正努力向还未认识你、还未尊耶稣为主的人们传扬主的福音。奉主耶稣之名祈求，阿们！
My Prayer...
Holy God, we ask that you bless all those everywhere who are trying to cross cultural, linguistic, and nationalistic barriers sharing the grace of Jesus with those who do not know you. Help them know they are bringing you joy and anticipating the praise that surrounds you in glory! In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
