使人有盼望的神 (The God of your Hope)
收聽主日信息
羅15:13但願使人有盼望的上帝，因信將諸般的喜樂、平安充滿你們的心，使你們藉著聖靈的能力大有盼望！
May the God of your hope so fill you with all joy and peace in believing [through the experience of your faith] that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound and be overflowing
(bubbling over) with hope.
耶29:11耶和華說：我知道我向你們所懷的意念是賜平安的意念，不是降災禍的意念，要叫你們末後有指望。
For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome.
箴24:16因為，義人雖七次跌倒，仍必興起.
For a righteous man falls seven times and rises again.
亞9:12你們被囚而有指望的人都要轉回保障。
我今日說明，我必加倍賜福給你們。
Return to the stronghold [of security and prosperity], you prisoners of hope; even today do I declare that I will restore double your former prosperity to you.
提前4:10因我們的指望在乎永生的上帝；他是萬人的救主，更是信徒的救主。
This is why we’ve thrown ourselves into this venture so totally. We’re banking on the living God, Savior of all men and women, especially believers.
1.福音的盼望(The Hope of Gospel)
西1:23只要你們在所信的道上恆心，根基穩固，堅定不移，不致被引動失去(原文是離開)福音的盼望。這福音就是你們所聽過的，也是傳與普天下萬人聽的( - 原文是凡受造的)，我－保羅也作了這福音的執事。
[And this He will do] provided that you continue to stay with and in the faith [in Christ], well-grounded and settled and steadfast, not shifting or moving away from the hope [which rests on and is inspired by] the glad tidings (the Gospel), which you heard and which has been preached [as being designed for and offered without restrictions] to every person under heaven, and of which [Gospel] I, Paul, became a minister.
林前15:3-4我當日所領受又傳給你們的：第一，就是基督照聖經所說，為我們的罪死了，而且埋葬了；又照聖經所說，第三天復活了，
The first thing I did was place before you what was placed so emphatically before me: that the Messiah died for our sins, exactly as Scripture tells it; that he was buried; that he was raised from death on the third day, again exactly as Scripture says.
林前15:14/17若基督沒有復活，我們所傳的便是枉然，你們所信的也是枉然…基督若沒有復活，你們的信便是徒然，你們仍在罪裏。…我們若靠基督只在今生有指望，就算比眾人更可憐。
And if Christ has not risen, then our preaching is in vain [it amounts to nothing] and your faith is devoid of truth and is fruitless (without effect, empty, imaginary, and unfounded)… And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is mere delusion [futile, fruitless], and you are still in your sins [under the control and penalty of sin].
2.得救的盼望(The Hope of Salvation)
彼前1:3-5願頌讚歸與我們主耶穌基督的父上帝！他曾照自己的大憐憫，藉耶穌基督從死裏復活，重生了我們，叫我們有活潑的盼望，可以得著不能朽壞、不能玷污、不能衰殘、為你們存留在天上的基業。你們這因信蒙上帝能力保守的人，必能得著所預備、到末世要顯現的救恩。
What a God we have! And how fortunate we are to have him, this Father of our Master Jesus! Because Jesus was raised from the dead, we’ve been given a brand-new life and have everything to live for, including a future in heaven—and the future starts now! God is keeping careful watch over us and the future. The Day is coming when you’ll have it all—life healed and whole.
伯14:14人若死了豈能 再活呢？我只要在我一切爭戰的日子，等我被釋放(或譯：改變)的時候來到。
If we humans die, will we live again? That’s my question. All through these difficult days I keep hoping, waiting for the final change—
for resurrection!
林後1:10他曾救我們脫離那極大的死亡，現在仍要救我們，並且我們指望他將來還要救我們。
we were forced to trust God totally—not a bad idea since he’s the God who raises the dead! And he did it, rescued us from certain doom. And he’ll do it again, rescuing us as many times as we need rescuing.
3.應許的盼望(The Hope of Promise)
羅4:17-18亞伯拉罕所信的，是那叫死人復活、使無變為有的上帝，他在主面前作我們世人的父。如 經上所記：「我已經立你作多國的父。」他在無可指望的時候，因信仍有指望，就得以作多國的父，正如先前所說：「你的後裔將要如此。」他將近百歲的時候，雖然想到自己的身體如同已死，撒拉的生育已經斷絕，他的信心還是不軟弱；並且仰望上帝的應許，總沒有因不信心裏起疑惑，反倒因信心裏得堅固，將榮耀歸給上帝，且滿心相信上帝所應許的必能做成。
We call Abraham “father” not because he got God’s attention by living like a saint, but because God made something out of Abraham when he was a nobody. Isn’t that what we’ve always read in Scripture, God saying to Abraham, “I set you up as father of many peoples”? Abraham was first named “father” and then became a father because he dared to trust God to do what only God could do: raise the dead to life, with a word make something out of nothing. When everything was hopeless, Abraham believed anyway, deciding to live not on the basis of what he saw he couldn’t do but on what God said he would do. And so he was made father of a multitude of peoples. God himself said to him, “You’re going to have a big family, Abraham!”
詩27:13-14我若不信在活人之地得見耶和華的恩惠，就早已喪膽了。要等候耶和華！當壯膽，堅固你的心！我再說，
要等候耶和華！
[What, what would have become of me] had I not believed that I would see the Lord’s goodness in the land of the living! Wait and hope for and expect the Lord; be brave and of good courage and let your heart be stout and enduring. Yes, wait for and hope for and expect the Lord.
羅5:5盼望不至於羞恥，因為所賜給我們的聖靈將上帝的愛
澆灌在我們心裏。
Such hope never disappoints or deludes or shames us, for God’s love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit Who has been given to us.
4.榮耀的盼望(The Hope of Glory)
西1:27上帝願意叫他們知道，這奧祕在外邦人中有何等豐盛的榮耀，就是基督在你們心裏成了 有榮耀的盼望。
To whom God was pleased to make known how great for the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ within and among you, the Hope of [realizing the] glory.
Declaration:
我宣告,我是一個充滿喜樂的基督徒,靠著耶穌我要享受祂給我的
人生.我的未來是充滿盼望的,我已經決定跟隨耶穌,永不回頭.
我的救贖主活著
