十字架—-羅馬書5:8［惟有基督在我們還作罪人的時候為我們死, 神的愛就在此向我們顯明了.］［釋義］耶穌基督為擔當我們的罪死在十字架上, 但祂戰勝死亡, 死而復活了, 成就了救恩, 也讓信靠祂的人, 恩上加恩, 力上加力, 在奔跑天路時, 能夠戰勝罪惡, 克服困難. 請問你有領受到從神而來加倍的恩典和力量嗎？我們時常以賺多少錢或有什麼頭銜來估算自己的身價, 或是用做了哪些重要的事來衡量自己. 其實, 我們應該明白自己的價值是神所給予的, 而這價值出於兩項事實：神照祂的形象創造了我們, 創1:27, 以及神愛世人, 甚至差祂的愛子耶穌來世上為我們死. 我們的身價不在於所擁有的, 而在於我們屬於誰.［禱告］親愛的主耶穌, 感謝祢為我們捨命在十字架, 因祢流的寶血, 我們罪得赦免, 完全歸屬祢. 愛我們的天父, 祢知道我們行走天路不容易, 感謝祢賜給我們足夠的恩典, 並各樣的事上力上加力, 使我們靈命充滿信心, 平安和喜樂. 有忍耐和寬容的心, 一直到我們見祢面的時候. 禱告是奉主耶穌的名, 阿們！
The Cross — Romans 5:8 [But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.] [Explanation] Jesus Christ bore our sins and died on the cross, but He triumphed over death and rose again, accomplishing salvation. Through His grace, those who trust in Him receive grace upon grace and strength upon strength. This empowers them to overcome sin and challenges as they journey on the path toward heaven. Have you experienced the multiplied grace and strength that come from God? Often, we measure our worth by how much money we make, the titles we hold, or the accomplishments we’ve achieved. However, our true value comes from God and is based on two facts: God created us in His image (Genesis 1:27). God loves us so much that He sent His Son, Jesus, to die for us. Our worth does not come from what we possess but from to whom we belong. [Prayer] Dear Lord Jesus, thank You for giving Your life for us on the cross. Through Your precious blood, our sins are forgiven, and we completely belong to You. Loving Heavenly Father, You know how challenging it is for us to walk this spiritual journey. We are grateful for the abundant grace and strength You provide in all circumstances, filling our hearts with faith, peace, and joy. Help us to remain patient and gracious until the day we see You face to face. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen!
