圣诞节不是神话
Christmas is Not a Myth
及至时候满足， 神就差遣他的儿子……——加拉太书 4:4
When the fullness of the time was come, God sent forth…his Son…
—Galatians 4:4
圣诞节不是一个神话，不是一个传统，也不是一个梦想，而是一个荣耀的真实，是充满喜乐的日子。伯利恒的马槽将这个堕落的世界与满有爱的上帝连接在一起。从马槽中 出来的这一位不仅教导我们一种全新的生活方式， 更将我们带入与造物主之间的全新的关系之中。圣诞节意味着上帝关心着人类的事物，上帝如此爱我们，以致于祂心甘情愿 将祂的爱子赐给我们。
Christmas is not a myth, not a tradition, not a dream. It is a glorious reality. It is a time of joy. Bethlehem’s manger crib became the link that bound a lost world to a loving God. From that manger came a Man who not only taught us a new way of life, but brought us into a new relationship with our Creator. Christmas means that God is interested in the affairs of people, that God loves us so much that He was willing to give His Son.
今日祷告
主耶稣啊，当我记念祢降生在卑微的马槽里， 求祢洁净我的心，让它成为圣洁的礼物献给祢！
Prayer for the day
Lord Jesus, as I remember Your birth in such a lowly stable, cleanse my heart that it might be a sanctified gift for You.
