对今日诗句的想法
主耶稣宣布了这项真理，认识到是神呼召他献出自己的生命，从而使他的信徒们能够进入他的荣耀。牺牲决非易事，尽管门徒在主受难的最后时刻缺乏勇气与信心，但主耶稣仍确信他的牺牲能够为门徒带来最好的结局，并且带领他们与众人得享他的恩典与荣耀(主的牺牲同样为我们成就这一切！)。今天我们思想主耶稣，这一项重要客观事实证明了主耶稣是对的——他的确对当时的门徒以及之后的基督徒们有着巨大的影响力。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Jesus announced this truth while recognizing that God had called him to lay down his life so his followers could join him in glory. Sacrifice is never easy, but despite his disciples' lack of courage, wrong-headedness, and faith failures during his last hours, Jesus truly believed that his sacrifice would bring out the best in them. He was confident that his example of sacrifice would lead them to share his grace and glory through sacrificing themselves to bless others. Jesus wants his example to do the same in us! As we honor Jesus' sacrifice today, we realize that we prove he was correct about his powerful impact on his disciples and others who came after them. Jesus offered himself as a seed put into the ground and died, but his death produced many seeds that continue to extend his grace and open their hearts to eternal hope!
我的祷告
主耶稣啊，感谢你为救赎我脱离罪与死亡而所做的一切！感谢你离开天国与我们同住；感谢你满有怜悯与美好的品质；感谢你爱一切属于你的人，即使他们曾离弃你。感谢你忍受了十字架的苦难，为我而死。我期待着众天使伴随着你在荣耀中降临的那一刻！一切的尊崇、荣耀、大能、爱与赞美都归给你，阿们！
My Prayer...
Thank you, Lord Jesus, for all you did to ransom me from sin and death. Thank you for leaving heaven and living here among us. Thank you for being compassionate and full of holy character as you offered your time and love to all kinds of people. Thank you for loving your own even though they abandoned you. Thank you for enduring the cross and conquering death for me. I look forward to seeing you when you return with glory in the company of the angels as we all get to see the many seeds that came from you. To you be all honor, glory, power, love, and praise forever. Amen.
