412 中翻英 (112) He is the King of king; the Lord of lord. 祂是萬王之王; 萬主之主. 6/9/2023
我們在天上的父, 祢是萬王之王; 萬主之主. 祢是今在, 永在的上帝. 我們要來到祢的腳前俯伏敬拜. 求祢繼續憐憫, 繼續恩待. 賜我們能力在這世上是光, 是塩, 照亮世間的黑暗, 調和世上的紛爭. 使祢的大愛溫暖這無情的世界. 禱告奉主耶穌基督的名. 阿們.
六月九日的曠野筵席彰顯主的威嚴. 親愛的訪友, 我們必須仰仗上帝的大能及大愛向世人作見證. 經過這2000多年的基督信仰者的堅信, 世人越來越需要主. 深信主耶穌基督肯定快要再來建立祂的國度, 祂要為王. 我們將與祂共享祂的榮耀.
「祂的..... 眼目如同火焰，腳好像在爐中煅煉光明的銅，聲音如同眾水的聲音。」 （啟 1:14-15 新國際版）
在啟示錄這本書里，神向我們顯示祂儿子的一方面，是与在福音書里所表明的各有不同。在福音書中，祂是救主，在啟示錄里，祂是君王。前者流露祂的慈愛，后者彰顯祂的威嚴。在大樓上，耶穌以手巾束腰，為著服事，在拔摩島上，祂是束上腰帶，為著爭戰。在福音書里，祂那柔和的眼目，溶化了彼得；在啟示錄里，祂的眼目卻如同火焰。在福音書那里，祂的聲音是溫柔的，按著名字呼召祂自己的羊，并從祂口里發出柔愛的恩言，在啟示錄里，祂的聲音可畏如同眾水的聲音，而祂的口里出來一把兩刃的利劍，為要擊殺祂的仇敵。我們若僅僅認識耶穌是神的羔羊和世人的救主，還是不夠的，我們必須認識祂是神的君王和神的審判官。當我們看見祂是救主時，我們贊嘆：「何等可愛！」并挨著祂的胸怀，當我們看見祂是執政者時，我們卻呼喊：「何等可畏！」并在祂的腳前俯伏敬拜!

"His ...... eyes were like flames of fire, and his feet were like bright copper refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of many waters" (Revelation 1:14-15 NIV).In the book of Revelation, God reveals to us aspects of His Son that are different from those revealed in the Gospels. In the Gospels, He is the Savior, and in the Revelation, He is the King. The former reveals His love, the latter reveals His majesty. On the tower, Jesus girts with a towel for service, and on Patmos, He girdles for warfare. In the Gospels, His soft eyes melted Peter; in the Revelation, His eyes are like flames. Where in the Gospels His voice is gentle, calling His own sheep by name, and from His lips uttered tender words of grace, in Revelation His voice is as dreadful as the voice of many waters. From his mouth went out of a sharp two-edged sword, to strike down his enemies. It is not enough for us to know Jesus as the Lamb of God and the Savior of the world, we must know Him as God's King and God's Judge. When we see Him as Savior, we exclaim, "How lovely!" and lean against His bosom, but when we see Him as Ruler, we cry, "How awesome!" and fall down at His feet Worship!
