耶稣祂来
“人子来,为要寻找、拯救失丧的人。”
路加福音 19:10
圣诞,实际上是关于耶稣来与我们每个人相见。圣诞的经文,以及整本圣经的其余部分,都是在讲述主耶稣基督来到世上,要与我们相见,并和我们建立永恒的关系。
例如马太福音中,到处都提到耶稣的“来” 。 在第三章,施洗约翰提到耶稣时说:“那在我以后来的,能力比我更大”。在第五章,耶稣说:“莫想我来要废掉律法和先知。” 在第九章,主说:“我来本不是召义人,乃是召罪人。” 在第二十章,主说,“人子来不是要受人服侍,乃是要服侍人,并且要舍命,作多人的赎价。” 圣诞节是关于耶稣来与我们相见,好让我们与他相交。
今日祷告:
主耶稣,感谢你来为我舍命。阿们。

Jesus Coming to Us
“For the Son of Man came to seek and save those who are lost.”
LUKE 19:10
Christmas is about Jesus coming to meet each one of us. The Christmas passages, and the rest of the whole Bible, tell us that Jesus came to the earth so that he could meet us and have an eternal relationship with us.
For example, the book of Matthew is jam-packed with this concept of Jesus coming to meet us. In Matthew 3, John the Baptist references Jesus when he says, “Someone is coming soon who is greater than I am.” In Matthew 5, Jesus urges people, “Don’t misunderstand why I have come.” In chapter 9, Jesus says, “I have come to call those who know they are sinners.” And in Matthew 20 Jesus sums it all up for us when he says, “The Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Christmas is about Jesus coming to meet us so that we can have a relationship with him.
Pray for the Day:
Lord Jesus, thank you for coming to give your life up for me. Amen.
