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.

爱在长大痲疯者身上

马太福音 8:1-4

耶稣下了山,有许多人跟着他。 2 有一个长大痲疯的来拜他,说:「主若肯,必能叫我洁净了。」 3 耶稣伸手摸他,说:「我肯,你洁净了吧!」他的大痲疯立刻就洁净了。 4 耶稣对他说:「你切不可告诉人,只要去把身体给祭司察看,献上摩西所吩咐的礼物,对众人做证据。」

爱在长大痲疯者身上:因着爱,祂肯,伸手摸,他立刻得洁净。(太8:1-4,可1:40-45,路5:12-15)

长大痲疯者得医治被记载在马太、马可和路加三卷福音书,描述著同样的场景:长大痲疯的(拜祂、向祂跪下、俯伏在地求祂)说:「主若肯,必能叫我洁净了。」耶稣伸手摸他,说:「我肯(愿意),你洁净了吧!」他的大痲疯即时离开他,立刻就洁净了。

「主若肯」:长大痲疯者相信耶稣的权柄、能力,相信自己能被洁净、能被医治。

「伸手摸他」:耶稣的手触摸溃烂疼痛的皮肤,祂的爱是真实的触摸伤痛,抚慰伤痛,进入伤痛,且医治伤痛。
