我知道你的行为
今天，愿我们被耶稣的触摸所安慰，愿祂的应许和祂的同在除去我们的惧怕？例如你作为信徒和身为耶稣的教会一份子的事奉？事实上，耶稣清楚知道在教会群体中发生的事 － 祂甚至比那些当事人知道得更清楚呢。
在祂亲身写给以弗所教会的信中，耶稣表明祂与那里的信徒有很密切的关系，祂称自己为那“右手拿着七星，在七个金灯台中间行走的”。耶稣使用这个象征，来表达祂的手正在紧紧握着这群信徒，而祂也在这些教会中间往来行走。
这幅图画显示，耶稣特意要靠近每一个教会，祂与我们非常接近，所以祂认识我们整个人。
耶稣认识在以弗所的教会，祂以很多称赞来开始这封信。祂说这个教会一直在卫护真理，所以假师傅和假教导无法在那里立足，持守真理就是这个教会的特色。
耶稣说：“我认识你，我也知道你为我所作的一切！”祂对你的教会也说同样的话。耶稣认识你教会群体里的每一个人，因为祂的手正紧紧握着你们，而祂也继续在你们教会事奉的地方往来行走。
万有之主，我们若曾假设你把自已局限在天上，求你赦免我们。你爱我们每一个人和你的教会群体，又把我们紧抱在你的怀里，我们感谢你。阿们。
启示录 2:1-3
1“你要写信给以弗所教会的使者说：‘那右手拿着七星、在七个金灯台中间行走的说：
2我知道你的行为、劳碌、忍耐，也知道你不能容忍恶人。你也曾试验那自称为使徒却不是使徒的，看出他们是假的来。
3你也能忍耐，曾为我的名劳苦，并不乏倦。
I Know Your Deeds
“I know your deeds, your hard work and your perseverance.” - Revelation 2:2
Do you ever feel that the work you do is unseen or at least unacknowledged? How about your service as a believer and as part of the church of Jesus? In reality, Jesus knows exactly what’s happening in church communities—he even knows them better than they know themselves.
In this personal letter to the church in Ephesus, Jesus reveals how close he is to this community of believers. He identifies himself as the One who “holds the seven stars in his right hand and walks among the seven golden lampstands.” In a figurative way, Jesus expresses that he holds these communities in the grip of his hand. And he walks around in the midst of these churches.
This is a picture of Jesus intentionally being close to each congregation. Jesus is so close that he knows us in all our ways.
Jesus knew the church in Ephesus, and he begins this letter with rich compliments. He says this church has been a guardian of the truth. False teachers and false teachings found no foothold there. Perseverance in the truth defined this church.
Jesus could say, “I know you, and I know all you are doing for me!” He says this about your church too. Jesus knows everyone in your church community because he holds you all in the grip of his hand and continues to walk where your church serves.
Lord over all, forgive us if we have supposed that you confine yourself to heaven. Thank you for loving each of us and your church communities, holding us all in your embrace. Amen.
