马可福音9:43-48 倘若你一只手叫你跌倒，就把它砍下来！ 44 你缺了肢体进入永生，强如有两只手落到地狱，入那不灭的火里去。 45 倘若你一只脚叫你跌倒，就把它砍下来！ 46 你瘸腿进入永生，强如有两只脚被丢在地狱里。 47 倘若你一只眼叫你跌倒，就去掉它！你只有一只眼进入神的国，强如有两只眼被丢在地狱里。 48 在那里，虫是不死的，火是不灭的。
施洗约翰在律法与先知的末期（新约时代的开端），对那世代寻求神的救恩的人说：「我是用『水』给你们施洗，但有一位能力比我更大的要来，我就是给祂解鞋带也不配。祂要用『圣灵』与『火』给你们施洗。」（路加福音3:16）
那一位能力比施洗约翰更大的耶稣基督已经临到，且完成救赎工作，因此，在今日末后且险恶的世代，这段话就更实际的提醒我们，信主的人的生命需要经历一瓢水（水洗）、一阵风（圣灵的洗）、一把火（火洗）的洁净、更新及改变过程，这是可体会的、可经验的，借此我们得以重生，成为新造的人。
一瓢（滴、池）水使我们得洁净，从此我们带着无亏的良心面见神，不怕见祂，喜欢见祂，同时靠着祂，除掉我们肉体的污秽。
Hi GAMErs,
Today’s passage is Leviticus 7:22-38. With a humble heart, see what sticks out to you in this passage. Is there a verse, a phrase, or a lesson you think the Holy Spirit may be highlighting for you in this passage? After you’ve thought about the passage yourself a bit, read the GAME sharing below. Let’s go!
Leviticus 7:22-27 (NIV)
22 The LORD said to Moses,
23 “Say to the Israelites: ‘Do not eat any of the fat of cattle, sheep or goats.
24 The fat of an animal found dead or torn by wild animals may be used for any other purpose, but you must not eat it.
25 Anyone who eats the fat of an animal from which an offering by fire may be made to the LORD must be cut off from his people.
26 And wherever you live, you must not eat the blood of any bird or animal.
27 If anyone eats blood, that person must be cut off from his people.'”
On verses 22-27: Even as I am writing this I am eating a leftover steak with an obvious layer of fat on it. The day before, I was eating this same steak (medium rare) and there was blood on the steak.
路加福音3:16 约翰说：我是用水给你们施洗。但有一位能力比我更大的要来，我就是给祂解鞋带也不配，他要用圣灵与火给你们施洗。
哥林多前书9:27 我是攻克己身，叫身服我，恐怕我传福音给别人，自己反被弃绝了。
施洗约翰谈到他的工作，也为耶稣作见证，说：「我是用水给你们施洗，但有一位能力比我更大的要来，我就是给祂解鞋带也不配。祂要用圣灵与火给你们施洗。」（路加福音3:16）施洗约翰用水施洗，耶稣则用圣灵与火为信祂的人施洗。
火是可燃物和氧化物间的燃烧化学反应，可燃物可以是燃料、大部分生活周边的物品、废弃物、动植物、甚至是人体…，氧化物则是来自空气中的氧气。让我们以蜡烛为例，将烛火点燃，谈谈「火洗」带出来的生命。
烛火的辐射热直接加热蜡烛顶部，顶端固体蜡烛熔解成液体蜡油，在烛芯底部蓄积成蜡油池；蜡油池的蜡油利用毛细管作用沿着烛芯上移，继续承受烛火加热而气化。气体的蜡油分子由烛芯往外围烛火扩散，而氧气分子同时由外界空气往烛火扩散，在蜡烛火焰面两者分子相互碰撞，接着进行燃烧化学反应。
Hi GAMErs,
Today’s passage is Leviticus 7:1-21. With a humble heart, see what sticks out to you in this passage. Is there a verse, a phrase, or a lesson you think the Holy Spirit may be highlighting for you in this passage? After you’ve thought about the passage yourself a bit, read the GAME sharing below.

Leviticus 7:1-4 (NIV)
1 “‘These are the regulations for the guilt offering, which is most holy:
2 The guilt offering is to be slaughtered in the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered, and its blood is to be sprinkled against the altar on all sides.
3 All its fat shall be offered: the fat tail and the fat that covers the inner parts,
4 both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the covering of the liver, which is to be removed with the kidneys.
On verses 1-4: Notice that when the priest offered an animal as a guilt offering, all the fat of the animal was to be burned on the altar as an offering to the Lord (Leviticus 7:3). Why? It’s because the fat of the animal represented the best part of the animal. God was basically saying, “Save your best part for me.”
约翰福音3:1-8 有一个法利赛人，名叫尼哥迪慕，是犹太人的官。 2 这人夜里来见耶稣，说：「拉比，我们知道你是由神那里来做师傅的，因为你所行的神蹟，若没有神同在，无人能行。」 3 耶稣回答说：「我实实在在地告诉你：人若不重生，就不能见神的国。」 4 尼哥迪慕说：「人已经老了，如何能重生呢？岂能再进母腹生出来吗？」 5 耶稣说：「我实实在在地告诉你：人若不是从水和圣灵生的，就不能进神的国。
约翰福音3:1-8记载耶稣与法利赛人尼哥底母的夜里谈话，对他说：「人若不是从水和圣灵生的，就不能进神的国。」耶稣在这段话提及，除了水洗得洁净、罪得赦免外，还需要经历「圣灵的洗」来得着重生的生命。
接着，耶稣谈到经历圣灵得领受：「风随着意思吹，你听见风的响声，却不晓得从哪里来，往哪里去；凡从圣灵生的，也是如此。」这段话的意思是：
风随着己意吹向它想要的地方，我们听见风声，但不知道它来自何方，又吹向何处；圣灵的引领也是如此，我们虽不知祂来自何方且吹向何处，但是我们可以领受体会，且要顺服，这就是重生的生命。

Leviticus 6:14-18 (NIV)
14 “‘These are the regulations for the grain offering: Aaron’s sons are to bring it before the LORD, in front of the altar.
15 The priest is to take a handful of fine flour and oil, together with all the incense on the grain offering, and burn the memorial portion on the altar as an aroma pleasing to the LORD.
On verses 14-18: In these verses God stipulates that after a select portion of the grain offering was burned on the altar, the rest of the grain offering was for the priests to eat. Here we see God’s heart to provide materially for those who dedicated their working hours and working lives to serving God “full time”. The timeless principle here is that God intended that those who serve Him full time in the church should be able to live off of the offerings given by the people.
Hi GAMErs,

Leviticus 6:1-7 (NIV)
1 The LORD said to Moses:
2 “If anyone sins and is unfaithful to the LORD by deceiving his neighbor about something entrusted to him or left in his care or stolen, or if he cheats him,
On verses 1-7: In these verses God speaks to Moses about what happens when an Israelite sins against their neighbour. God commands that the offending Israelite must return to their neighbour what they had stolen or lost. This process of making a victim whole is called (in legal terms) “restitution” (v5). Notice that for God it wasn’t enough to make the person you offended whole by bringing them back to 100%;
出埃及记30:17-21
17 耶和华晓谕摩西说： 18 「你要用铜做洗濯盆和盆座，以便洗濯。要将盆放在会幕和坛的中间，在盆里盛水。 19 亚伦和他的儿子要在这盆里洗手洗脚。 20 他们进会幕，或是就近坛前供职给耶和华献火祭的时候，必用水洗濯，免得死亡。 21 他们洗手洗脚，就免得死亡。这要做亚伦和他后裔世世代代永远的定例。」
来到水槽，打开龙头，捧水盈手，洗净面容，是早晨起床最舒服的一件事；明目清新，满满精神的感觉，带来一天的喜乐、更新及盼望。想起泰北短宣回来姊妹分享用黄水洗涤的生活体会，每早晨捧著清水总是有无以言喻的感谢，用水洗净是我们经常的事，是我们喜欢的事，但我们常常忽视「洗净」对我们生命的意义。
旧约时代并没有「洗礼」这个词，犹太律法只规定祭司进入会幕前，必须先洗手洗脚，以表示洁净（出埃及记30:17-21），这种「洁净礼」是属于祭司的条例。当时律法也规定长大痲疯的人得医治，经过祭司查验后，要举行「洁净礼」（利未记14:1-9）；民众若患有不洁净的规定时，要用水沐浴来表明他已洁净。
新约时代，施洗约翰在约旦河施洗，呼召人悔改（马太福音3:1-6）；耶稣也「尽诸般的义」接受施洗约翰的洗礼，受了洗后，天为祂开了，神的灵仿佛鸽子落在祂身上（马太福音3:13-17）。
约翰福音11:41-42 他们就把石头挪开。耶稣举目望天，说：「父啊，我感谢祢，因为祢已经听我。 42 我也知道祢常听我，但我说这话是为周围站着的众人，叫他们信是祢差了我来。」
路加福音 22:31-32 主又说：「西门，西门，撒旦想要得着你们，好筛你们像筛麦子一样。 32 但我已经为你祈求，叫你不至于失了信心。你回头以后，要坚固你的弟兄。」
天未亮、一整夜、离开众人时刻…、甚至断气前，静寂之时，祂需要，祂祷告。
在山上、旷野、客西马尼园…、甚至十架上，独处之时，祂需要，祂祷告。
耶稣受洗时祷告。祂正祷告的时候，天就开了，圣灵降临在祂身上，形状仿佛鸽子；又有声音从天上来，说：「祢是我的爱子，我喜悦祢。」（路加福音3:21-22）
耶稣选召门徒前祷告。那时，祂上山祷告，整夜祷告神；到了天亮，叫祂的门徒来，就从他们中间挑选十二个人，称他们为使徒。（路加福音6:12-13）
耶稣为五饼二鱼祝谢祷告。祂拿起饼来，祝谢了，就分给那坐着的人；分鱼也是这样，都随着他们所要的。（约翰福音6:11）
Hi GAMErs,
Today’s passage is Leviticus 5:1-19. With a humble heart, see what sticks out to you in this passage. Is there a verse, a phrase, or a lesson you think the Holy Spirit may be highlighting for you in this passage? After you’ve thought about the passage yourself a bit, read the GAME sharing below. Let’s go!
Leviticus 5:1 (NIV)
1 “‘If a person sins because he does not speak up when he hears a public charge to testify regarding something he has seen or learned about, he will be held responsible.
On verse 1: Often we think that sinning is when we do bad things. Verse 1 shows us that failing to do the good that we know we ought to do is sin. For example, refusing to speak up against injustice is sin. James 4:17 says “Anyone who knows the good he ought to do and doesn’t do it, sins”. That’s how high God’s moral standards are. For God, holiness is not just about avoiding wrong; it’s about always doing what is right. Anything less than that is sin in God’s eyes. Praise God that even though all of us have sinned, God has given us His Son Jesus to save us from our sins.
