对今日诗句的想法
大卫王在诗篇23篇中提醒我们,认识神才是真正的安息,主耶稣也再次阐明了这一点。只有主耶稣能够全然将神启示给我们;只有主耶稣能够除去我们不理解神恩典而试图取悦神的负担;只有主耶稣能够除去我们罪的重担,并且使我们能够在全能的上帝面前成为圣洁、没有瑕疵、无可责备(参见歌罗西书1:21-22)。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Life-giving rest, like eternal life, are our gifts from knowing the God and Jesus Christ whom God sent (John 17:3). The Lord is our shepherd who brings us life, health, restoration, protection, goodness, both now and eternally (Psalm 23:1-6). Jesus came and revealed God to us as Immanuel, God with us (John 1:14-18; Matthew 1:23). Only the Son knows the Father intimately because he is one with the Father (John 10:30, 17:11, 17:21). Only Jesus can take away our burden of seeking to please God as imperfect and sinful people because only the Son can remove the burden of our past sins and enable us to stand holy, blameless, and free from accusation before God (Colossians 1:21-22; 1 John 1:9, 2:1-2). And, as our Good Shepherd, Jesus blesses us with abundant life that lasts forever (John 10:10-15). We can come to Jesus and find the rest our souls crave (Matthew 11:29). Praise God!
我的祷告
我们在天上的父啊,感谢你赐下主耶稣成就律法,并以你的恩典祝福我,愿我永不辜负你的恩典!慈爱的天父啊,请赐予我力量,使我能够以喜乐侍奉你,因你的恩典已经除去了我罪与过犯的重担。奉主耶稣之名祈求,阿们!
My Prayer...
Father in heaven, please bless me with your grace, bring me life, and bless me with rest. May I never take these gifts from my Good Shepherd for granted. Please empower me to serve you with joy and gladness, having had my burdens lifted by your grace and finding my rest and restoration in Jesus. In his name, I pray. Amen.
