这福音本是神的大能,要救一切相信的!

每日箴言

祂不在坟墓里!

“他本有神的形像,不以自己与神同等为强夺的。” - 腓 2:6

 灵修

权力是危险的。历史显明,那些爱慕并追求权力的人,有可能对世界造成极大的危害。对权力的追求使许多领袖在生命各个方面堕落,使得他们为谋取私利,不惜牺牲他人。


三位一体的神完全有能力在这个世界和这世界之外做任何事,神可以决定给这个悖逆的世界带来毁灭。但大能的主也是满有怜悯和慈爱的神,祂情愿选择救赎,让这世界与神和好。耶稣,神的儿子,选择谦卑自己,成为人的样式。


耶稣来到这世上,祂本可以很快获得统治一切的合法王权,但祂却取了奴仆的形像。祂在迫害中存心顺服,甚至死在十字架上,好使世人能再次活在神完全的爱中。耶稣并没有讨好统治者和权力政客,而是去寻找那些贫穷的、弱势的、被抛弃,和被遗忘的人。


耶稣透过祂的生命、受死和复活定义了终极的权力,并为我们树立了爱的模范——谦卑和服事,这也是真正的能力所展示的。


这位大能且慈爱的耶稣是你的救主吗?


 祷告

全能的主,一切的权力都归于祢。一切的荣耀和尊荣都是祢的。然而祢却为我们的缘故谦卑自己,为此我们深深感恩。感谢祢,主耶稣。阿们。


普世佳音每日箴言

 A Definition Of Power

Christ Jesus . . . being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage. . . . — Philippians 2:5-6


 Devotion

Power can be dangerous. History has shown that those who love power and seek after it can do tremendous harm in the world. Power and its pursuit have corrupted many leaders in all spheres of life, causing them to seek selfish gain at the expense of others.


The triune God holds the ultimate power to do anything in this world and beyond. God’s desire could be to bring destruction on a rebellious world. But the Lord Almighty is also the God of compassion and love. He chose instead to offer redemption and reconciliation to the world. Jesus, the Son of God, chose to humble himself and take on mortal, human flesh.


Jesus came into this world, and he could have quickly claimed rightful kingship over all. But instead he chose the posture and status of a servant, submitting to the suffering of persecution and death on a cross so that people could live once again in the full love of God. Rather than seeking favor with rulers and powerbrokers, Jesus sought out people who were poor, disadvantaged, outcast, and otherwise forgotten. By his life, death, and resurrection, Jesus Christ defined ultimate power and modeled for us the loving posture of humility and service that true power displays.


Is the powerful and loving Jesus your Savior?


 Prayer

Lord Almighty, all power belongs to you. All glory and honor are yours. Yet you humbled yourself for our sake, and for that we are most grateful. Thank you, Lord Jesus. Amen.
