对今日诗句的想法
神在主耶稣里所成就的，并非意外。是的，虽出人意料，但旧约里充满了关于耶稣到来的暗示与预言。圣先知们早已就此发预言。不仅先知们发了预言，主耶稣的到来就是神信守承诺并兑现应许的明证。这就是为何保罗说神一切的应许在基督里都是是的，藉着他也都是实在的(哥林多后书1章)。在耶稣里，神降临、服侍、关爱、拯救、救赎，并且信守了他的承诺。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
What God does in Jesus is not a surprise. Yes, it was unexpected, but the "hints" and prophecies of his coming are found all over the Jewish Scriptures, our Old Testament. The holy prophets had spoken about it "long ago." But more than the prophets, Jesus coming is God keeping his word. Jesus' coming is God's answer to his promises. That's why Paul can say that all God's promises find their yes in Jesus and it is through Jesus that the "amen" is spoken (2 Corinthians 1:20). In Jesus, God comes, God ministers, God cares, God saves, God redeems, and God keeps his promises.
我的祷告
圣洁的天父啊，我感谢你，因你信守了你的承诺。我不必挂虑，因为你对我说的话必要成就。你的爱、品格和恩慈都确保了你会信守诺言。我愿持守对你许下的承诺和誓言，求你使我更加忠心。我知道你看重这一点，不仅因为我需要学习顺服，更因为我的品格需要被陶造得更加像你。感谢你聆听我的心声，奉主耶稣之名求，阿们！
My Prayer...
I thank you, Holy Father, that you keep your promises. I know I don't have to worry that you will keep your word to me; your love, character, and kindness guarantee that you will. So please help me be more faithful to you as I seek to honor my commitments and pledges to you. I know this is important to you not only because I need to learn obedience, but I also need to develop a character more consistent with your own. Thank you for hearing my heart, in Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
