对今日诗句的想法
我想我们很自然地认为在历史上，我们这个时代的问题是源自我们自己的时代的普遍堕落。值得庆幸的是圣经一再提醒我们，上帝的子民对于文化一直都逆流而对的。作为神的儿女，在我们的世俗文化的漆黑的夜空中，我们要成为亮星。与其不断抱怨我们的世俗文化和我们出于历史上不好的时期，我们要点亮道路给别人看到另一种生活方式。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
As many of us leave our season of Thanksgiving and transition into the season of Advent, we remember our most significant reason for giving thanks: Jesus' coming as God's incarnation in human flesh. After all, Advent means "the coming," and in particular, the coming of God to earth in Jesus. God loved us so much that he refused to be God far from us, dwelling only in a high and holy place. He chose to come near us and be one of us in Jesus. God is holy and beyond us (Isaiah 6:1-6). Yet, he became one of us in Jesus because of his mercy and grace (Isaiah 57:15). In Jesus, God surrendered his divine privileges and humbled himself so we could see both God's grace and our path to him in his greatness as a servant (Philippians 2:5-11).
我的祷告
万能的上帝，感谢你给我这么高尚和神圣的任务。我想成为我身边的文化黑暗中的明亮的星星。当我寻求过圣洁的生活，影响我周围的不知道耶稣救赎的人的时候，请帮助我。以耶稣的名祷告。阿门。
My Prayer...
Loving Father, thank you for loving us so much that you joined us in our mortality through Jesus. Thank you, Jesus, for living among us and showing us what God-like living is. Thank you for knowing our struggle with living in human flesh in a broken world. Thank you for defeating death and giving us life with you forever. Because of Jesus, Father, we will forever want you to know our thanks and praise! Amen.
