绝不屈服
“他虽然未行强暴， 口中也没有诡诈， 人还使他与恶人同埋； 谁知死的时候与财主同葬。”
以赛亚书 53:9
不是因为你坚持正义，做的都是对的，就意味着你一定会被公正地对待。实际上，历史上一些最优秀的人恰恰因为他们做得对，反而遭到迫害。那么，你还愿意做对的事么？如果道路坎坷，你还是否坚持正义？日后，人们谈起你的时候，是否会因为你的榜样而受激励？你的故事是否可以鼓舞他们在敌对势力面前绝不低头？身处逆境，却要坚持自己的正义，的确需要极大的勇气。但是，这个世界真的需要为了正义决不屈服的人，不管是在怎样的环境中。
耶稣为了公义，付出了极大的代价。全世界都永远感激他的作为，因为他没有随波逐流，而是选择了走向十字架，成就了大义。设想一下，如果耶稣妥协了，没有走向十字架，那我们这本灵修书籍还会有什么意义呢？
今日祷告：
耶稣，我不知道自己有没有勇气像你一样的面对生死。在逆境中，求你给我勇气和力量，不做错误的选择。阿们。
April 2 – Uncompromised
He had done no wrong and had never deceived anyone. But he was buried like a criminal;
he was put in a rich man’s grave.
I S A I A H 5 3 : 9
Just because you do what is right doesn’t mean you will be treated fairly. In fact, some of the best people in history were mistreated because they were doing what was right. So how committed are you to doing right? If the right road gets tough, will you keep on going?
In the future, when people talk about you, will they be inspired by your example? Will your story encourage them to live with integrity in the face of opposition? It takes tremendous courage to continue to do what is right in the face of adversity. But the world needs uncompromised people who stand for what is right, no matter what.
Jesus pursued the right path and paid a severe price. But the world is forever grateful he didn’t join the wrong march, but chose to walk to the cross. Imagine how pessimistic this devotional book would be if he had compromised himself and not gone to the cross!
Pray for the Day:
Jesus, I don’t know if I have the courage to live and die like you did. In the face of
adversity, give me the strength to do no wrong. Amen.
