我們在天上的父, 感謝祢,
將主耶穌賜給我們, 感謝祢賜下豐豐富富的靈糧, 日夜喂養我們. 求主賜孩子一顆饑渴慕義的心及謙卑受教的靈, 讓我能天天靠着上帝的話語活着, 能夠使生命成長起來, 越來越有主耶穌的樣式. 主啊, 求祢的聖靈時時充滿我, 讓我的生命能透出祢的榮光, 照亮仍在黑暗中行走的人. 我願意真正的委身與祢, 使我軟弱却不至跌倒, 靠主而成為剛強. 願祢美好的旨意得以在孩子的生命中彰顯並得以成全, 願祢自己成為我生命的糧靈, 活水的泉源, 直湧到永生. 願孩子只單單仰望祢去打那美好的仗, 靠主耶穌復活的大能得勝. 求主垂聽孩子誠實的禱告, 奉主耶穌基督的名，阿們！

3 Then Jesus went up on the mountain, and there 下来.
He sat down with His disciples. 4 Now the Passover, 逾越节快到了.
the feast of the Jews, was near. 5 Therefore Jesus, 5 耶稣举目看见一大群人

He was intending to do. 7 Philip answered Him, 7 腓力回答说: “就是
“Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not 二百個银幣的餅也不够他们

these for so many people?” 10 Jesus said, “Have 这一点东西实在无济于事.”10 耶稣说

they said, “This is truly the Prophet who is to 都说: “这人真是那位
come into the world.” 要来到世上的先知！”
[註]
: 1. 耶穌行這 "標記"
的奇蹟, 主要是要告訴祂的門徒祂是新創造的主.
2. 耶穌知道要如何做來餵養祂的子民,
只是在這裡, 祂試試祂的門徒對祂的認識.
3. 安得烈是一位引人歸主的好榜樣, 他在本書卷中有三次提到他引人到
耶穌面前.信徒有引人到主耶穌基督面前的委身事奉, 讓主復活的大能使
他們得生命.
Peter’s Confession of Faith: John
6:66-71. 彼得的信心的認定: 約翰福音 6:66-71.
66 As a result of this many of His disciples withdrew66此后,很多门徒离开了,不再跟从
and were not walking with Him
anymore. 67 So 耶稣67 于是耶稣问那十二个门徒,Jesus said to the twelve, “You do not want to go “你们也要离开我吗？”
away also, do you?” 68 Simon Peter answered Him, 68 西门·彼得答道:
“Lord, to whom shall we go? You have words of “主啊！你有永生之道,
eternal life. 69 We have believed and have come to 我们还跟从谁呢? 69 我们已经相信
know that You are the Holy One of God.” 70 Jesus 并且知道你是上帝的圣者.”70 耶稣
answered them, “Did I Myself not choose you, the 說 “我不是拣选了你们十二个人吗?
twelve, and yet one of you is a devil?” 71 Now He其中却有一个魔鬼.” 71 耶稣这话
meant Judas the son of Simon Iscariot, for he, one 是指着加略人西门儿子犹大说的,
of the twelve, was going to betray Him. 因为他是十二个门徒之一,后来出卖了耶稣.
[註] :主耶穌知道人心. 祂知道誰是真門徒. 誰自始至終永不回頭. 雖牺牲生命也在所惜. 所以祂在行完 "標記" 之後, 語重心長的說出了一段心痛的話, 為使門徒的代表彼得當面承認他對老師主耶穌的信心.
下面的這首聖歌說明了基督信仰的實際.

Reynolds, composed an arrangement which was 威廉. 詹森.雷諾士為它配上 included in the 1959 Assembly Songbook. 和聲, 並將它刊印在聖詩集裡.

elsewhere, spreading its popularity. 決志信主耶穌基督的聖歌.
[註] : 唱這首歌, 需要無比的勇氣和毅力. 1977年編輯者順服上帝的旨意, 全家來美.在美國校園向來自國內的中國留學生傳福音, 每遇到挫折困難時, 總想到這首聖詩, 使我真正體會到要永不回頭, 是多麼的不容易的一件事. 二千多年來,前仆後繼為主殉道的信徒無法數算！ 他們用生命來詮釋這首詩歌.
