There’s No Expiry Date on God’s Word or Jesus’ Blood
2020-03-11 in GAMEtime Sharing /by meilingHi GAMErs,
Today’s passage is 1 Peter 1:13-25. Let’s go!
1 Peter 1:13 (NIV)
13 Therefore, prepare your minds for action; be self-controlled; set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed.
On verse 13: Peter is telling believers everywhere in the Roman empire: don’t place your hope in money, pleasure, people, or anything else you have now. Instead, place your hope fully on the grace you will be given when Jesus comes again: the future grace of being united with Jesus, of knowing Him intimately, of experiencing His presence so closely and without limit, and of being home together with Him and with God’s family in heaven where there is no more death, sickness, suffering or sorrow.
耶穌在伯大尼
2020-03-11 in 每日親近神 /by meiling約翰福音11:25 耶穌對她說:「復活在我,生命也在我。」
在國外有不少同樣名字的城巿,例如溫哥華Vancouver,在加拿大的英屬哥倫比亞省有一個,在美國華盛頓州也有一個;而列治文Richmond,在世界上有60個地方都取這個名字。聖經上的伯大尼也是如此,新約裡告訴我們,在以色列這小小的地方就有兩個地方都叫伯大尼。這兩個伯大尼都很出名。
因為第一個伯大尼是耶穌接受施洗約翰施洗的地方。在〈約翰福音〉一章28節記載:「這是在約但河外,伯大尼,約翰施洗的地方作的見證。」這地方稱為約旦河外的伯大尼,大多數人認為是在現代約旦國境內、約但河下游的東岸地區。這約旦河外的伯大尼就在比利亞境內。
所以當耶穌還在比利亞時,有人來告訴耶穌,他所愛的人病了。耶穌聽了的反應是:「這病不至於死,乃是為神的榮耀,叫神的兒子因此得榮耀。」但是,拉撒路卻死了。當我們為病人代禱時,總認為病人要得醫治,神才能得榮耀;人若死了,神還有什麼榮耀呢?換個角度思想,假如所有的病人經過禱告就不死,世界會不會太擁擠了?
耶穌在比利亞
2020-03-10 in 每日親近神 /by meiling路加福音15:10 我告訴你們:一個罪人悔改,在神的使者面前也是這樣為他歡喜。
比利亞在哪裡呢?這地方對我們而言有點陌生,因為她在約但河東,是舊約的基列地,新約一般用「約旦河外」(太 19:1、可 10:1、約 10:40)來形容此地。此地地勢很高,樹木很多,有長達 1000公尺的懸崖,可俯視約旦河。當以色列人要過約旦河進迦南時,流便、迦得、瑪拿西半支派的人看到它,竟然不想進入迦南了! 摩西答應把這片土地賜給這兩個半支派,但是要求他們的男丁仍然和其他人一起進迦南並肩爭戰,直到得到應許之地。他們也答應了。
在主耶穌的時代,比利亞住的大多是猶太人,由希律安提帕統治。此地與加利利和猶大地相連,因此猶太人若想從加利利區去猶大地,或從猶大地去加利利區,卻不想經過撒瑪利亞,就可以取道比利亞。
主耶穌在最後一次前往耶路撒冷之前,也就是受難之前,曾隱退到約旦河外,也就是在比利亞住了一小段時日。四福音裡都有這個記載,只是各取記錄耶穌的教訓有別。分列如下:
一, 論離婚 (太19:3-12/可10:1-12/路16:18)
耶穌在比利亞時,有法利賽人來跟耶穌討論離婚(休妻)的問題。猶太人當時對離婚的看法有保守和自由兩派。摩西在〈申命記〉 24:1 吩咐以色列人:「人若娶妻以後,見她有甚麼不合理的事,不喜悅她,就可以寫休書交在她手中,打發她離開夫家。」什麼是「不合理的事」呢?猶太人對這一點有許多的爭論。比較保守的沙買學派(Shammai School) 認為不合理的事只有一項,就是淫亂。稍自由的希列學派(Hillel School)認為它涵蓋較廣,於是到最後變成幾乎不論什麼理由都可以休妻。
Nothing Like The Hope We Have in Jesus
2020-03-10 in GAMEtime Sharing /by meilingHi GAMErs,
Today we begin our look at 1 Peter, a letter written by the apostle Peter, one of Jesus’ disciples, probably around 64 A.D. to Christians scattered everywhere throughout five Roman provinces.
On verses 1-12: When you read this passage, keep in mind the context within which Peter is writing this letter. In approximately 64 A.D., Christians in the Roman Empire are going through severe persecution. Emperor Nero has launched, or is just about to launch, a widespread movement to capture and destroy Christians. He would become famous for setting Christians on fire as human torches for his dinner parties and feeding them to lions in the coliseum. With this background of great persecution in mind, read verses 1 to 12 and you will find that they come alive with so much more meaning and relevance. Likewise, if you have ever been bullied, ostracized, or excluded by others, may you find encouragement from this letter by Peter.
耶穌在黑門山
2020-03-09 in 每日親近神 /by meiling馬太福音17:2 就在他們面前變了形象,臉面明亮如日頭,衣裳潔白如光。
黑門山,在敘利亞譯本作西連山,阿拉伯語稱之為謝赫山 ( 意即長老山 ),又因山頭長年積雪,被稱為塔利山 ( 意即雪山 )。黑門山横跨黎巴嫩平原和米斯巴平原,是瑪拿西半支派的北界,也是以色列全地的北界。現今黑門山的頂峰位於敘利亞和黎巴嫩境內,西坡和南坡則歸於以色列。
相信許多人對黑門山的印象來自〈詩篇〉133篇: “看哪,弟兄和睦同居,是何等的善,何等的美。這好比那貴重的油,澆在亞倫的頭上,流到鬍鬚,又流到他的衣襟。又好比黑門的甘露,降在錫安山,因為在那裏有耶和華所命定的福,就是永遠的生命。”
黑門山和錫安山相距超過一百哩,高度相差極大,但是從西面地中海而來的空氣帶著水份,碰到黑門山就會往上升,每年10 月到4 月北風吹拂,就會使水氣飄過千山萬嶺到達錫安山,遇見冷空氣後便會凝結成露水,帶來秋雨與春雨。因為當地不常下雨,雨量也很分散,所以因著黑門的甘露,以色列的農作物得以豐收,葡萄品質也非常好。黑門山對以色列的祝福還有哪些呢?
Ultimate Restoration
2020-03-09 in GAMEtime Sharing /by meilingHi GAMErs,
Now onto today’s passage. Today’s passage is Job 42:1-17. Let’s go!
Job 42:1-2 (NIV)
1 Then Job replied to the LORD:
2 “I know that you can do all things; no plan of yours can be thwarted.
On verses 1-6: Job has now abandoned his previous push to challenge God on His justice (v2). He now admits to speaking of things that he had no ability to understand (v3). Job had heard about God all his life, but now, having heard God speak personally, he experiences God’s presence in a powerful and unprecedented way. In response to encountering God, all Job can do is see how small and unholy he is. Job repents of his pride before God (v4-6).
What can we learn from this?
1.We were made not just to hear about God but to experience Him personally.
耶穌在該撒利亞腓立比 Caesarea Philippi
2020-03-08 in 每日親近神 /by meiling馬太福音6:15-16 耶穌說:「你們說我是誰?」西門彼得回答說:「你是基督,是永生 神的兒子。」
假如你要去旅行,會挑選怎樣的地方呢?我相信多數人都會挑選有山有水,風景十分優美的地方。班尼亞斯就是以色列地一個很出名的風景區,因為它位於黑門山麓,又有發源於黑門山的班尼亞斯河與但河,和發源於黎巴嫩的哈斯巴尼河和以雲河匯聚成了約但河,往南注入低於海平面約209公尺的加利利湖,最後注入死海。有人認為舊約的巴力迦得(書13:5)和巴力黑們((代上:23),指的就是這個地方。
大希律王去世後,將政權分給三個兒子,分封王腓力(Philipp)在班尼亞斯建都,西元前二年他將城市改名為該撒利亞.腓立比(Caesarea Philippi)。此地因有豐沛的水源,加上鄰近地區土壤肥沃、物產豐富,吸引了許多狂熱的宗教崇拜。在希臘和羅馬時期,這座城裡蓋了眾多的神廟,其中有一位希臘神祇「潘Pan」,因而以牠命名,改名為班尼亞斯。所以該撒利亞腓立比就是班尼亞斯Banias。
班尼亞斯位於現今的戈蘭高地,被規劃為自然保護區。從黑門山流下的水流在此地形成了一道美麗的瀑布,形成班尼亞斯極美的河道。另一個水源的出口位於一個大岩壁的洞穴,這個岩壁被稱為「神祗之石」(Rock of the Gods)。岩壁一邊的底下的洞穴,上面嵌著三排尖牙利齒,這就是「潘神岩洞」又被稱為陰間之間或地獄之門。Pan潘神是一個半人半羊的恐怖(panic)之神,常吹著排笛施展魔法,阿拉伯語原稱此地為潘尼亞斯,後來才變成現在的班尼亞斯。
Matchless Power
2020-03-08 in GAMEtime Sharing /by meilingHi GAMErs,
Now onto today’s passage. Today’s passage is Job 41:1-34. Let’s go!
Job 41:10 (NIV)
10 No one is fierce enough to rouse him. Who then is able to stand against me?
On verses 1-34: For one whole chapter, God talks about the leviathan. What is the leviathan and why is God talking about it?
The leviathan is described as a powerful marine animal that is violent, not easily captured or tamed, armed with fearsome teeth (v14), and who is impervious to attacks with various premodern combat weapons (v26). In the past scholars surmised that perhaps the leviathan was a sea monster, a whale, or a marine dinosaur. Today, many scholars believe that the leviathan is a giant crocodile, since “the crocodile fits God’s description of the leviathan’s back (v13, 15-17, 23), teeth (v14), chest and undersides (v24, 30) and its churning of the waters (v31-32)” (The Bible Knowledge Commentary). If the leviathan is a giant crocodile, then the references to it being fire-breathing (v19-21) might be an exaggeration for effect.
