我將這些事告訴你們,是要叫你們在我裡面有平安。在世上你們有苦難,但你們可以放心,我已經勝了世界。」—約翰福音16:33
These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.—John 16:33
耶穌帶來的平安不是綏靖、妥協和墨守成規的平安。而是靈裡面的平安。這個世界給不了我們平安,因為它帶不來任何的平安。世界為和平而戰,向和平談判,並且為和平做著努力,但是最終的世界也不能和平。但是,主耶穌把平安給了那些相信祂的人。如果你接受了祂的平安,你就在祂的營裡。但是如果你拒絕祂的平安,那你就是敵祂的。他願意把平安給任何一個想要接受他的人。
The peace that Jesus came to bring was not the peace of appeasement, or the peace of compromise and conformity. It was a spiritual peace. The world doesn’t give peace, for it doesn’t have any peace to give. It fights for peace, it negotiates for peace, it maneuvers for peace, but there is no ultimate peace in the world. But Jesus gives peace to those who put their trust in Him. If you have received His peace, then you are in His camp. But if you have rejected it, then you are against Him. His peace is available to everyone who will receive it.
今日禱告:
主耶穌,在我的內心深處我感受到了你賜下的平安,因此在我生命裡的風暴也正在減弱。
Prayer for the day:
Deep down I feel Your peace, Lord Jesus, and the storms of my life are abated.
