560 中翻英 (260)            Have a Mercy on me, Lord.    主阿! 憐憫我這罪人.        10/24/2023

十月二十四日晨曦曠野筵席有盤可口的大菜,   就是上帝賜我們信徒生命.     親愛的的訪友,   您感到有主就有生命嗎?    您是否仍在尋找生活的目的?   當中日戰爭小日本軍伐空襲南京時，那死亡的情況，真是令人惊駭!  我們沒有要他們賠償,  因為主在登山寶訓中教訓祂的子民說,  "你們要愛仇敵."     我們有基督信仰的總統蔣介石先生,   他做到了.

「凡活著信我的人，必永遠不死，你信這話么？」（約 11:26   新國際版）

主耶穌來賜人生命。在閱讀約翰福音時，請你一直把這個思想放在心里。凡相信祂的人就有永生。祂是生命的水，也是生命的糧。祂來是要賜給我們「更丰盛」的生命。由于祂首先愿意代我們死，所以祂也是我們的复活和生命。

在危急和災難的時候，我們所要持定的就是生命，因為在那存亡的關頭，生命的重要性是高過一切的。當中日戰爭日軍空襲南京時，那死亡和破坏的情況，真是令人惊駭！先前多少美麗的房屋，現在轉瞬竟成瓦礫廢墟！「有誰在里面呢？」每一個人心里都在問這問題，驟然間，一堆廢物開始移動，一根棟梁挪開，接著有一個人爬出來，將他身上的灰塵和碎瓦抖掉。他所以能這樣做，是因他里面還有生命！

我們是借著主耶穌的生命而活著，這生命曾經過死亡的考驗。祂宣告說：「我又是那存活的并且拿著死亡和陰間的鑰匙。」（啟1:18）信靠那叫死人复活的神，是最安全而又最穩妥的。

"Whoever lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?" (John 11:26 NIV)

The Lord Jesus came to give people life. As you read the Gospel of John, keep this thought in mind. Whoever believes in Him has eternal life. He is the water of life and the bread of life. He came to give us “more abundant” life. Because He was first willing to die on our behalf, He is also our resurrection and life.

In times of crisis and disaster, what we have to hold on to is life, because at that critical moment of life and death, the importance of life is higher than anything else. When the Japanese air raided Nanjing during the Sino-Japanese War, the death and destruction was truly horrifying! How many beautiful houses were once turned into rubble and ruins in an instant! "Who is in there?" Everyone was asking this question in their mind. Suddenly, a pile of rubbish began to move, a beam was moved away, and then a man climbed out and shook off the dust and broken tiles from his body. The reason he can do this is because he still has life within him!

We live through the life of the Lord Jesus, which has passed the test of death. He declared, "I am he who lives and has the keys of death and of Hades." (Revelation 1:18) It is safest and most secure to trust in God who raises the dead.
