貧苦的富人—-馬太福音16:26［人若賺得全世界, 賠上自己的生命, 有甚麼益處呢？人還能拿甚麼換生命呢？][故事］有一位窮人撿到一個魔袋, 上面寫著”這袋裏面永遠拿不完的金幣, 但在你開始花錢時, 必須先把袋扔掉.” 於是, 他即刻伸手入袋掏金幣. 掏了一個晚上, 金幣已有一大堆了. 他想這些錢已夠自己用一輩子了. 次日, 他肚子很餓, 但想到在花錢以前, 必須把袋扔掉, 就說”我才不這麼儍了, 這樣的袋子怎能隨便扔掉呢？” 於是, 他又掏啊掏啊！日子一天天過去, 他完全可以去買吃的, 買房子, 買車子. 可是, 他還是說”等錢再多一些吧.” 金幣快堆滿屋子了, 而他自己也變得又瘦又弱, 卻還是抖著手在掏金子. 直掏到他虛弱的一動也不會動了. ［思考］在貪婪人的字典裏, 永遠沒有知足一詞. 可是, 丟了生命, 這一切又有何意義呢？思考你的認為生命中最重要的是什麼呢？［禱告］親愛的天父上帝, 人活著不能沒有錢, 但錢卻不是萬能, 也不能滿足我們的心靈. 感謝祢的話語提醒我們, 人若賺得全世界. 若賠上生命, 有什麼益處呢？ 求主幫助我們, 看重內容心所需要的平安和喜樂, 是金錢買不到的, 唯有追求在祢裏永恆的生命, 我們的人生才有希望, 有價值. 禱告是奉主耶穌基督的名, 阿們！
Poor Rich Man – Matthew 16:26 [What does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his own life? What else can a man give in exchange for his life? ][Story] A poor man picked up a magic bag and it said, “There are endless gold coins in this bag, but when you start spending money, you must throw the bag away first.” So he immediately reached into the bag. After digging out all night, there were already a lot of gold coins. He thought that the money was enough for him to use for a lifetime. The next day, he was very hungry, but he thought that he had to throw away the bag before spending money, so he said, ” I’m not so stupid, how can I throw away such a bag casually?” So he dug and dug again! As the days passed, he could buy food, a house, and a car. However, he still said, “Let’s wait for more money.” The gold coins were almost piled up in the house, and he himself became thinner. Although he is weak, he still digs for gold with trembling hands. He digs until he is too weak to move. [Thinking] In the dictionary of greedy people, there is never a word contentment. However, if you lose your life, all this has nothing to do with it. What’s the point? Think about what you think is the most important thing in life? [Prayer] Dear Heavenly Father God, people cannot live without money, but money is not everything, nor can it satisfy our hearts. Thank you for your words that remind us that if a person gains the whole world, what good will it do if he loses his life? Woolen cloth? Please help us, Lord, to value the content. The peace and joy our hearts need cannot be bought with money. Only by pursuing eternal life in You can our lives have hope and value. We pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. , Amen!
