对今日诗句的想法
所赐给牧羊人的记号就是有一婴孩躺在饲料槽里。十分令人信服的记号,不是吗?全能的宇宙创造者竟然睡在绵羊和山羊吃粮食和干草的地方!神如此爱我们,以至于屈尊就卑,取了这样不吉利的一个开场。这就是为何天使这样赞美神。他满有荣耀,但他没有选择隐藏或者保护自己的荣耀,反而分享出来,好让我们也能见到他的荣耀。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
The sign to the shepherds was a baby in a feed trough. Pretty potent sign isn't it! The Almighty Creator of the universe sleeping where the sheep and goats have eaten their grain and hay. That God would love us so much as to reduce himself to such an inauspicious beginning reminds us why the angels praise him so. He is glorious and yet he chose not to hide or protect that glory, but instead he shared it so we could find it, too!
我的祷告
群星的主宰,马槽中的神啊,我的心声同天使一起赞美你光荣而神圣之名。你的牺牲如此浩大,我充满了敬畏。你可以赐给牧羊人任何关于耶稣的记号,你却选择了马槽的记号。我感谢你,因你在如此普通的地方显现你自己,好让我能够找到这记号,并归回你的家中。奉耶稣之名,我献上我全部的爱,阿门!
My Prayer...
God of the manger and Ruler of the constellations, I join my heart and my voice with the angels in praise to your glorious and holy name. Your sacrifice is so profound I am awe-struck. You could have chosen any sign to show Jesus to the shepherds, but you chose the manger. Thank you for revealing yourself in such a common place so I could find your sign and come home to you. I pray in Jesus' name with all my love. Amen.
