羅馬書5:8 惟有基督在我們還作罪人的時候為我們死，神的愛就在此向我們顯明了。
饒恕人是個困難的挑戰，它的難處在於我們認為對方不配得這樣的寬容。
提姆凱勒牧師曾分享，他在教會中做婚姻諮商時，如果夫妻雙方都出軌，就算兩人都不想挽救婚姻，但他們不會陷入定罪對方的苦毒中，因為他們都看見自己的軟弱。
反倒是如果夫妻中只有一方出軌，另一方將會很難跨越傷害，饒恕對方，因為被傷害的這一方可能認為自己沒有錯，或是不容易看見自己的錯。
饒恕的力量來自，很真實面對自己的罪和軟弱，並且很真實經驗到神無條件的接納、白白的恩典、以及捨己的愛。唯有深刻看見自己的罪有多糟糕，自己有多軟弱，才會發現耶穌的愛、耶穌的赦免有多寶貴。
Hi GAMErs,
Today’s passage is Leviticus 25:8-22. 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 25:8-12 (NIV)
8 “‘Count off seven sabbaths of years–seven times seven years–so that the seven sabbaths of years amount to a period of forty-nine years.
9 Then have the trumpet sounded everywhere on the tenth day of the seventh month; on the Day of Atonement sound the trumpet throughout your land.
On verses 8-12: Starting at Leviticus 25:8 we read about how every 50th year the Israelites were to proclaim it a Year of Jubilee. The Year of Jubilee was meant to be:
– a time of reunion when Israelites would return to their family clans and to the places where they grew up (v10, 13);
Hi GAMErs,
Today’s passage is Leviticus 25:1-7. 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 25:1-7 (NIV)
1 The LORD said to Moses on Mount Sinai,
2 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘When you enter the land I am going to give you, the land itself must observe a sabbath to the LORD.
On verses 1-7: Here God prepares the Israelites for when they enter the promised land. He commands the Israelites to work the land they have been given (i.e. sow the fields, prune the vineyards and gather the crops for six years) (v2-3), but in the seventh year they are to give their land a rest and to live off of what the land produces that year (v4-7).
羅馬書5:1 我們既因信稱義，就藉著我們的主耶穌基督得與神相和。
哥林多後書12:9 祂的恩典夠我用的，因為祂的能力是在人的軟弱上顯得完全。
當我們被傷害，會有負面情緒，在痛苦中甚至會希望對方受到懲罰，承受跟我同等的痛苦。有一次當我在禱告時，神提醒我，饒恕別人其實就是讓別人活過來。
「你們從前在過犯和未受割禮的肉體中死了，神赦免了你們一切過犯，便叫你們與基督一同活過來；又塗抹了在律例上所寫、攻擊我們、有礙於我們的字據，把它撤去，釘在十字架上。」（歌羅西書2:13-14）
這段經文提到，我們在罪中死了，神讓我們在基督裡活過來。耶穌撤銷我們的罪債紀錄，把這些不利於我們的控告都與祂同釘在十字架上，我們的罪被赦免了，所以我們在上帝面前能不被定罪，能在上帝面前活著。
當我想著別人對我造成的傷害，想著他該負上的代價，其實就是將他定死罪，讓他死在錯誤之中，沒有辦法能獲得機會活著。當我選擇讓對方有機會活著，撤掉致他於死地的控告，這就是饒恕了。
Hi GAMErs,
Today’s passage is Leviticus 24:10-23. 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 24:10-23 (NIV)
10 Now the son of an Israelite mother and an Egyptian father went out among the Israelites, and a fight broke out in the camp between him and an Israelite.
11 The son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the Name with a curse; so they brought him to Moses. (His mother’s name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri the Danite.)
On verses 10-23: Leviticus 24:10-23 describes how Moses dealt with a half-Israelite, half-Egyptian man who had been found “blaspheming the name of God” (that is, misusing God’s name and speaking about God’s name in ways that were untrue and irreverent).
詩篇46:1-3 神是我們的避難所，是我們的力量，是我們在患難中隨時的幫助。所以地雖改變，山雖搖動到海心，其中的水雖匉訇翻騰，山雖因海漲而戰抖，我們也不害怕。
在世界越來越動盪的今日，「災難」與「末日」的話題總被頻繁提起。有人擔心2025年7月5日會發生大地震，有人轉發預言夢、靈性解讀與陰謀論，讓原本平靜的心被懸空了。但聖經告訴我們：我們的信仰不是建立在「預言」的風聲中，而是建築在那位不動搖的「磐石」上。
敬拜永活獨一的真神，榮耀在全地彰顯，永遠不改變。
國度權柄能力歸給祂，公義慈愛顯威嚴，亙古到永遠。
神掌權到永遠，在天地之間；立晨星鋪穹蒼，劃出地平線；
降恩雨賜豐年，海不越過界；神掌權到永遠！
詩篇119:105 祢的話是我腳前的燈，是我路上的光。
提摩太後書 3:16 聖經都是神所默示的，於教訓、督責、使人歸正、教導人學義都是有益的， 17 叫屬神的人得以完全，預備行各樣的善事。
在許多人的書架上，聖經被端正地擺放在最顯眼的位置，封面泛著微光，書側金邊閃閃發亮，彷彿那就是信仰的象徵與心靈的保障。然而，這本書被翻開過幾次？被讀過多少頁？被默想、被實踐、或被活出多少？
我們常笑稱某些艱深難讀、厚重無比的專業書是某專業領域的「聖經」，代表著它的權威、完整，卻也難讀、不易懂；但是，它必須被擺在最顯眼、尊貴的位置上，凸顯出我擁有它，我屬於這專業領域裡的一員，它提升了我的專業價值和地位。事實上，我可能從未讀它、懂它、用它。
而這「難讀、不易懂」的認知竟也悄悄轉移到真正的聖經上，我們尊敬它、敬畏它，卻不敢輕易打開它；我們擁有它，卻不讓它進入我們的生活。
Hi GAMErs,
Today’s passage is Leviticus 24:1-9. 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 24:1-4 (NIV)
1 The LORD said to Moses,
2 “Command the Israelites to bring you clear oil of pressed olives for the light so that the lamps may be kept burning continually.
On verses 1-4: In Leviticus 24:2 God tells Moses that the lamps used to light up the tent of meeting are to “be kept burning continually” (v2). In the same way, you and I, as followers of Jesus, are what Jesus calls “the light of the world” (Matthew 5:14-16).
Hi GAMErs,
Today’s passage is Leviticus 23:26-44. 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 23:26-32 (NIV)
26 The LORD said to Moses,
27 “The tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement. Hold a sacred assembly and deny yourselves, and present an offering made to the LORD by fire.
28 Do no work on that day, because it is the Day of Atonement, when atonement is made for you before the LORD your God.
On verses 26-32: Verses 26-32 describe the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur in Hebrew), a day when the people remembered how God atoned for their sins so that they could be forgiven. Why was God so strict about people not doing any work on the Day of Atonement?
羅馬書5:12 這就如罪是從一人入了世界，死又是從罪來的；於是死就臨到眾人，因為眾人都犯了罪。
彼得前書1:7 叫你們的信心既被試驗，就比那被火試驗仍然能壞的金子更顯寶貴。
約翰福音16:33 在世上你們有苦難；但你們可以放心，我已經勝了世界。
始祖犯罪後，罪進入世界，混亂隨之而來，死（隔離與絕望）就臨到世人。在人類歷史的漫漫長河中，世人被罪衍生的混亂如漩窩般的團團環繞，戰爭的硝煙、災難的陰影、社會的動盪、人間的紛爭、心靈的掙扎，歷歷在目，也多有體驗。有時混亂雖遠在天際，然隨著資訊發達，它卻繚繞耳際，讓我們身歷其境。
你不害怕嗎？憂愁的面容、無聲的嘆氣是你我無奈的回應。我們不禁問：天父祢在哪裡？祢何時掌權？
在歷世歷代的混亂中，神的手始終未曾縮短。「外邦喧嚷，列國動搖；神發聲，地便鎔化。萬軍之耶和華與我們同在；雅各的神是我們的避難所。」（詩篇46:6-7）神從不因世局混亂而失去主權，祂仍坐王掌權，引導萬事走向祂永恆的計畫。
混亂是神塑造我們、煉淨我們信心的爐火。「叫你們的信心既被試驗，就比那被火試驗仍然能壞的金子更顯寶貴。」（彼得前書1:7）混亂中，我們被選召成為光和鹽（馬太福音5:13-16），如歷代的信徒，引導人歸向真光，扶助人脫離混亂。
