The Enemy’s Plan and God’s Purpose敵人的計劃和神的目的
"The enemy uses our mistakes to kill, steal and destroy us and others. Our Father uses them to educate and to cause us to grow. How we respond to this is the test of our character. Repent, forgive, restore and move forward."
本日我思
「敵人使用我們所犯的錯誤來殺戮、偷盜和毀滅我們及他人。我們的天父卻使用這些錯誤來教導我們,並且讓我們成長。我們的回應則是對我們人格的試驗。悔改、饒恕、修復,然後繼續前進。」
The Desire of Jesus耶穌的期望“I do not ask on behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in Me through their word; that they may all be one; even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me.” John 17:20-21
我不但為這些人祈求,也為那些因他們的話信我的人祈求,使他們都合而為一。正如你父在我裡面,我在你裡面,使他們也在我們裡面,叫世人可以信你差了我來。約翰福音17:20-21
The Glory is Restored恢復榮耀The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one; I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me.
John 17:22-23你所賜給我的榮耀,我已賜給他們,使他們合而為一, 像我們合而為一。我在他們裡面,你在我裡面,使他們完完全全的合而為一,叫世人知道你差了我來,也知道你愛他們如同愛我一樣。
約翰17:22-23
The Stumbling Block of Sin罪的絆腳石
“for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,” Romans 3:23 因為世人都犯了罪,虧缺了神的榮耀;羅馬書3:23
Forgiveness restored the Glory饒恕恢復榮耀 Forgiveness restored our Unity with our Father饒恕恢復我們與天父的合一 Forgiveness restores our Unity with each other饒恕恢復我們與別人的合一
The Enemy’s Plan and Our Purpose 敵人的計劃和我們的目的
He said to His disciples, “It is inevitable that stumbling blocks come, but woe to him through whom they come! It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea, than that he would cause one of these little ones to stumble. Be on your guard! If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. And if he sins against you seven times a day, and returns to you seven times, saying, ‘I repent,’ forgive him.” Luke 17:1-4
耶穌又對門徒說:絆倒人的事是免不了的;但那絆倒人的有禍了。就是把磨石拴在這人的頸項上,丟在海裡,還強如他把這小子裡的一個 絆 倒了。你們要謹慎!若是你的弟兄得罪你,就勸戒他;他若懊悔,就饒恕他。倘 若他一天七次得罪你,又七次回轉,說:我懊悔了,你總要饒恕他。路加17:1-4
The Faith of Forgiveness饒恕的信心The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!” And the Lord said, “If you had faith like a mustard seed, you would say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and be planted in the sea’; and it would obey you. Luke 17:5-6
使徒對主說 :求主加增我們的信心。
主說:你們若有信心像一粒芥菜種,就是對這棵桑樹說:你要拔起根來,栽在海裡,他也必聽從你們。 路加福音17:5-6
What does the mustard seed know?芥菜種知道什麼Do we know who we are?我們知道我們是誰嗎? If we truly know who we are, forgiveness is easy若我們知道我們是誰,寬恕就容易 If we truly know who we are, forgiveness is easy若我們知道我們是誰,寬恕就容易
