改变生命的力量

Life-Changing Power

因此基督死了，又活了，为要作死人并活人的主。

——罗14:9

Christ died and rose again . . . so that he can be our Lord both while we live and when we die.

—Romans 14:9 (TLB)

圣经以惊人的频率来肯定基督身体复活这一事实。在所有这些陈述中最直接的或许就是路加在《使徒行传》中的记载，他写道：“他受害之后，用许多的凭据将自己活活地显给使徒看，四十天之久向他们显现”（使徒行传1:3）。我们要怎样对待这些“许多可靠的凭据”？有人问我的同事乔治·贝弗利·谢对神了解多少。他说：“我所知的不多，但是我所知的那些已经改变了我的生命。”我们或许无法把所有的证据都拿到科学实验室加以证明，但是，只要我们接受任何一个历史事实，我们就必须接受耶稣基督从死里复活这个事实。

With a frequency that is amazing, the Bible affirms the fact of the bodily resurrection of Christ. Perhaps the most direct of all its statements is Luke’s account in the book of Acts, where he reports, “To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days” (Acts 1:3). What are we going to do with these “many infallible proofs”? Someone asked my colleague George Beverly Shea how much he knew about God. He said, “I don’t know much, but what I do know has changed my life.” We may not be able to take all of this evidence into a scientific laboratory and prove it; but, if we accept any fact of history, we must accept the fact that Jesus Christ rose from the dead.

今日祷告

主耶稣，所有关于你存在的争论都被驳倒了，因为我每天都感受到你的同在。我永生的主啊，知道你与我同在， 我的灵就欢喜快乐！

Prayer for the day

All the arguments concerning Your existence are refuted, Lord Jesus, as I feel Your presence each day. It causes my soul to rejoice knowing that You, my living Lord, are with me!
