The Power of Jesus’ Blood

Hi GAMErs,

Today’s passage is Revelation 7:1-17.  As usual, I encourage you to read the passage yourself first and see what you can glean with the Holy Spirit’s help, then read the GAME sharing below.  Let’s go!

Revelation 7:1 (NIV) 
1  After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth to prevent any wind from blowing on the land or on the sea or on any tree.

On verse 1:  After the sixth seal is broken, John sees four angels holding back “the four winds of the earth” (v1), effectively stopping any wind from blowing on the earth.  According to some scientists, if there was no more wind on the earth, much of the earth would become uninhabitable, temperatures on the earth would become either extremely hot or extremely cold, mass migration would lead to coastal regions being heavily populated, marine life would die, widespread famine would occur and many people would not be able to survive.

愛在長大痲瘋者身上

馬太福音 8:1-4

耶穌下了山,有許多人跟著他。 2 有一個長大痲瘋的來拜他,說:「主若肯,必能叫我潔淨了。」 3 耶穌伸手摸他,說:「我肯,你潔淨了吧!」他的大痲瘋立刻就潔淨了。 4 耶穌對他說:「你切不可告訴人,只要去把身體給祭司察看,獻上摩西所吩咐的禮物,對眾人做證據。」

愛在長大痲瘋者身上:因著愛,祂肯,伸手摸,他立刻得潔淨。(太8:1-4,可1:40-45,路5:12-15)

長大痲瘋者得醫治被記載在馬太、馬可和路加三卷福音書,描述著同樣的場景:長大痲瘋的(拜祂、向祂跪下、俯伏在地求祂)說:「主若肯,必能叫我潔淨了。」耶穌伸手摸他,說:「我肯(願意),你潔淨了吧!」他的大痲瘋即時離開他,立刻就潔淨了。

「主若肯」:長大痲瘋者相信耶穌的權柄、能力,相信自己能被潔淨、能被醫治。

「伸手摸他」:耶穌的手觸摸潰爛疼痛的皮膚,祂的愛是真實的觸摸傷痛,撫慰傷痛,進入傷痛,且醫治傷痛。
