希伯來書9:27-28 按著定命，人人都有一死，死後且有審判； 28 像這樣，基督既然一次被獻，擔當了多人的罪，將來要向那等候他的人第二次顯現，並與罪無關，乃是為拯救他們。
有一位軍閥每次處決死刑犯時，都會留給犯人最後的機會，選擇一槍斃命，或是選擇進入側牆的一扇門。從來沒有人知道進入那扇門的命運將如何？因為所有死刑犯都寧可選擇一槍斃命，也不願進入裡面不知有何光景的那扇門。
一天，酒酣耳熱後，軍閥顯得很開心。旁人大膽地問他：「大帥，您可不可以告訴我們，從那扇門走進去究竟會有什麼結果？」
「沒什麼啦！其實走進那扇門的人只要踏上幾個台階，便可以順利地自由離開了。人們不想走進去，只是不敢面對不可知的未來罷了。」軍閥回答。
世人大多知道善有善報、惡有惡報，世上宗教也都有提到最後的審判；但是，世人面對死亡時，往往就只知道僅有一條路，有如死刑犯選擇一槍斃命，而不願意選擇進入未知的那扇門，因為不清楚目標比死亡還可怕。
Hi GAMErs,
Today’s passage is 2 Kings 2:13-25. As usual, I encourage you to open your Bible and read the passage yourself first. See what you can glean with the Holy Spirit’s help. Then read the GAME sharing below. Let’s go!
2 Kings 2:13-14 (NIV)
13 He picked up the cloak that had fallen from Elijah and went back and stood on the bank of the Jordan.
On verse 13: From their earliest interactions with one another, it was always Elijah’s intent to give Elisha his cloak, that is, his mantle as Israel’s prophet (see 1 Kings 19:19). And now as Elijah is taken up to heaven, the cloak falls back on earth for Elisha to pick up. It’s because his cloak fell that Elisha had assurance that Elijah had not been taken to some other place on earth but had gone to heaven. That’s because Elijah’s cloak represented Elijah’s calling, anointing and gifting. The fact that it fell back down to earth for Elisha to pick up shows two simultaneously: first, Elijah had finished his task on earth and, second, it was Elisha’s turn to be Israel’s prophet.
