不要試探—-羅馬書3:25［神設立耶穌作挽回祭, 是憑著耶穌的血, 藉著人的信, 要顯明神的義. 因為祂用忍耐的心, 寬容人先時所犯的罪.］［試探］有一個站在街頭大駡上帝, 他大喊”若有上帝, 我要向祂挑戰, 請祂在五分鐘之內把我打死！”圍觀的群眾在等待, 時間一秒一秒的過去. 五分鐘後, 那人還是好端端的站在那裏, 他更是得意萬分的說”你們看, 天下根本沒有上帝, 否則的話, 現在我早就被打死了.” 正當他得意洋洋時, 有一位老婦人拍拍他的肩膀向他說”你有沒有孩子？” “我有一個孩子.” “如果你的孩子給你一把刀. 請你殺他. 你照做嗎？” “當然不了.” “那是為什麼？” 那人說”道理很簡單, 因為我太疼他.” 老婦人溫柔的告訴他說”上帝也是太疼你了. 你雖然不相信上帝, 上帝卻不願接受你不理智的挑戰與試探. 祂希望你得救, 而不是沉淪.” [思考］當你在懷疑或在試探神時, 祂卻是以最大的寬容和憐憫在恩待著你. 神是愛, 在祂的公義審判面前, 無人能抵擋. 但如今祂以無限的寬容和憐憫, 隨時等待罪人的悔改. ［禱告］愛我們的天父上帝, 祢對我們的愛是何等的長闊高深. 我們有時會懷疑和試探祢的存在和祢的作為, 祢卻以恩典和忍耐對待我們來到祢的面前懺悔, 並且以寬容和憐憫, 赦免我們一切的過犯. 主啊！我們獻上滿心的感恩, 堅定我們的信心, 緊緊的跟隨祢, 見證祢的名, 直到我們與祢見面的時候. 禱告是奉主耶穌基督的名, 阿們！
Do not be tempted – Romans 3:25 [God established Jesus as a propitiation by the blood of Jesus, through faith, to demonstrate the righteousness of God. For in His longsuffering He tolerates the sins of men. [Temptation] There was a man standing on the street cursing God. He shouted, “If there is a God, I will challenge Him and ask Him to beat me to death within five minutes!” The onlookers were waiting for time. Second by second passed. Five minutes later, the man was still standing there perfectly fine. He was even more proud and said, “Look, there is no God in the world. Otherwise, I would have been beaten to death by now.” Just then. When he was triumphant, an old woman patted him on the shoulder and said to him, “Do you have a child?” “I have a child.” “If your child gives you a knife, please kill him. You do it.” Do it?” “Of course not.” “Then why?” The man said, “The reason is very simple, because I love him too much.” The old woman told him gently, “God also loves you too much. Although you don’t believe it, God, God is unwilling to accept your irrational challenges and temptations. He wants you to be saved, not to perish.” [Thinking] When you doubt or test God, He is gracious with the greatest tolerance and mercy. For you. God is love, and no one can resist His righteous judgment. But now with infinite tolerance and mercy, He is always waiting for the repentance of sinners. [Prayer] God, the heavenly Father who loves us, Your love for us How long, wide, high and deep is love. We sometimes doubt and test your existence and your deeds, but you treat us with grace and patience and come before you to repent, and with tolerance and mercy, you forgive us all our transgressions. Oh God! We are filled with gratitude, strengthen our faith, follow you closely, and bear witness to your name until we meet you. We pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen!
