不忘主恩—-提摩太前書1:16［然而我蒙了憐憫, 是因耶穌基督要在我這罪魁身上, 顯明祂一切的忍耐, 給後來信祂得永生的人作榜樣.］［故事］有一位𠎀出的宰相深受皇帝的器重, 但是他每次出門都會隨身帶著一個小皮箱, 卻從不在別人面前打開. 大家非常好奇, 這隻皮箱內到底有什麼寶貝呢？這事連皇帝都知道了. 有一天皇帝來到他的家中拜訪, 突然命令他打開那皮箱, 沒想到箱子裏放的是一件極破舊的衣袍. 宰相對皇帝說”當年我生活非常的窮困, 以致衣服破到這種地步, 還必須穿上. 等到我功成名就之後. 生活有了很大的改善. 唯恐忘了當年的困苦, 得意忘形, 所以用這件舊衣袍自我我提醒. 有空時就會拿出來, 叫著自己的名字說：貴不可忘賤, 福不可忘貧. ［思考］過去我們是何等的渺小, 對生命和未來是何等的無助, 如今卻蒙主的恩惠. 生命充實有盼望. 思考你要如何以行動報答主恩？[禱告］憐憫我們的天父上帝, 我們感謝祢, 將我們從罪惡過犯中拯救出來, 賜給我們永生的盼望和尊貴的身份, 也要藉著我們彰顯祢的大能與大愛. 求聖靈與我們同在, 幫助我們不要忘記祢的恩惠, 要常常數算祢的恩典. 一生跟隨祢, 聽從祢的話, 榮耀祢的聖名, 直到我們見祢面的時候. 禱告是奉主耶穌基督的名, 阿們!
Don’t forget the Lord’s grace – 1 Timothy 1:16 [But I received mercy, because Jesus Christ might demonstrate all His longsuffering in me, the chief of sinners, as an example to those who would later believe in Him for everlasting life. ] [Story] There was an outstanding prime minister who was highly valued by the emperor, but he would carry a small suitcase with him every time he went out, but he never opened it in front of others. Everyone was very curious as to what treasures were in this suitcase. Woolen cloth? Even the emperor knew about this. One day, the emperor came to visit his home and suddenly ordered him to open the suitcase. Unexpectedly, there was a very shabby robe in the suitcase. The prime minister said to the emperor, “My life was very poor back then.” I was so poor that my clothes were so torn that I still had to wear them. After I became successful and famous, my life improved greatly. I was afraid that I would forget the hardships of the past and get carried away, so I used this old robe to remind myself. When he is free, he will take it out and call his name and say: Don’t forget the humble when you are rich, and don’t forget the poor when you are blessed. [Thinking] How insignificant we were in the past, how helpless we were in life and the future, but now we are favored by the Lord. . Life is full and full of hope. Think about how you want to repay the Lord’s grace with actions? [Prayer] Have mercy on our Heavenly Father God, we thank you for saving us from our sins and transgressions, and giving us the hope of eternal life and a noble status. , and also demonstrate Your power and love through us. May the Holy Spirit be with us and help us not to forget Your favor and always count Your grace. Follow You throughout my life, obey Your words, and glorify Your Holy name, until we see your face. This prayer is in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen!
