活在喜乐、大能和自由中!
虽然我们这个月有关“活出复活子民的身份”的灵修即将结束,我们知道这个题目仍会继续下去,因为我们仍在等候基督的再来。
尽管罪的影响仍在危害我们的世界,我们却可以每天活在信心和盼望中,深知道神爱我们,绝不会离开我们。神就是爱,祂的爱是完全、真实和美好的。我们会继续在挣扎和试炼中坚忍,继续依靠祂。透过圣灵的帮助,我们加深与神的关系,与这世上的重重困难摔跤,让神以祂的爱引领我们。尽管我们怀着渴望等候并呼求基督快快地再来,我们仍要寻求活在复活所带给我们的喜乐、大能,和自由中。当日基督对第一批见证人的吩咐,如今仍适用所有宣告祂复活的人,就是“你们要去传讲耶稣复活的好消息!”(参28:7,19)。
怀着喜乐,我们牢牢记着“基督复活!祂的确复活了!”让我们献上感谢,赞美主所作的一切:“愿荣耀,威严,能力,权柄,因我们的主耶稣基督,归与他,从万古以前,并现今,直到永永远远。阿们。”
荣耀、全能的神,我们赞美祢胜过了罪和死亡,我们也感谢祢的爱。愿我们每天都活在耶稣复活的喜乐、大能和自由中。奉祂的名祷告,阿们。
犹大书 17-25
17 亲爱的弟兄啊,你们要记念我们主耶稣基督之使徒从前所说的话。
18 他们曾对你们说过:末世必有好讥诮的人随从自己不敬虔的私欲而行。
19 这就是那些引人结党、属乎血气、没有圣灵的人。
20 亲爱的弟兄啊,你们却要在至圣的真道上造就自己,在圣灵里祷告,
21 保守自己常在神的爱中,仰望我们主耶稣基督的怜悯,直到永生。
22 有些人存疑心,你们要怜悯他们;
23 有些人你们要从火中抢出来,搭救他们;有些人你们要存惧怕的心怜悯他们,连那被情欲沾染的衣服也当厌恶。
24 那能保守你们不失脚,叫你们无瑕无疵、欢欢喜喜站在他荣耀之前的我们的救主独一的神,
25 愿荣耀、威严、能力、权柄因我们的主耶稣基督归于他,从万古以前并现今,直到永永远远!阿们。
Living Joyfully, Powerfully, And Free!
Keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life. — Jude 20-21
As our month of reflecting on living as Easter people comes to an end, we know that our time of actually living as Easter people will continue. For we are still waiting for Christ’s return.
Though the effects of sin still harm and damage our world, we can live each day in the confidence and hope of knowing that God loves us and will never leave us. God is love, and his love is perfect, true, and good. We continue to persevere through struggles and trials, leaning into God, growing in our relationship with him through the Holy Spirit, wrestling with the difficult tensions in the world, and letting God lead us by his love. And even as we wait with expectancy and cry out for Christ to come again soon, we seek to live in all the joy, power, and freedom that the resurrection offers. The instructions Christ gave to those first witnesses remain the same for all who claim the resurrection today: “Go and tell the good news that Jesus is alive!” (see Matthew 28:7, 19).
Remembering with joy that “Christ is risen! He is risen indeed!” let us give thanks and praise the Lord for all he has done: “To the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen.”
Glorious, almighty God, we praise you for your victory over sin and death, and we thank you for your love. May we live each day in the joy, the power, and the freedom of Jesus’ resurrection. In his name, Amen.
