Jesus Calling December 20:
你現在所享受的所有這一切都需要建立在與我的關係。
All of this was necessary to provide the relationship with Me that you now enjoy.
When I joined the ranks of humanity, born into the humblest conditions, My Glory was hidden from all but a few people.
Occasionally, streaks of Glory shone out of Me, especially when I began to do miracles.
Toward the end of My life, I was taunted and tempted to display more of My awesome Power than My Father’s plan permitted.
I could have called down legions of angels to rescue Me at any point.
Imagine the self-control required of a martyr who could free Himself at will!
All of this was necessary to provide the relationship with Me that you now enjoy.
Let your life become a praise song to Me by proclaiming My glorious Presence in the world.
當我加入了人性化的行列裡,出生在卑微的條件之中,我的榮耀對少數人來說是隱藏的。
有時,榮耀的痕跡照耀著我,尤其當我開始行神跡奇事時。
在我的生命將要結束之時,我被嘲笑和誘惑來更多地顯示我的能力超越了我父的計畫。
因為我可以呼召天使軍團在任何時候下來救我。
試想一下,一個烈士必須控制自我可以釋放自己的意願。
你現在所享受的所有這一切都需要建立在與我的關係。
藉著傳揚我的榮耀存在於這世界上而讓你的生命變成了讚美的詩歌。
這是耶穌所行的頭一件神蹟,是在加利利的迦拿行的,顯出他的榮耀來;他的門徒就信他了。(約翰福音 2:11)
This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed in him. (John 2:11)
百姓站在那裡觀看。官府也嗤笑他,說:「他救了別人;他若是基督, 神所揀選的,可以救自己吧!」兵丁也戲弄他,上前拿醋送給他喝,(路加福音 23:35-36)
And the people stood by, watching; but the rulers scoffed at him, saying, "He saved others; let him save himself, if he is the Christ of God, his Chosen One!" The soldiers also mocked him, coming up and offering him vinegar, (Luke 23:35-36)
稱謝耶和華!歌頌你至高者的名!用十弦的樂器和瑟,用琴彈幽雅的聲音,早晨傳揚你的慈愛;每夜傳揚你的信實。這本為美事。因你─耶和華藉著你的作為叫我高興,我要因你手的工作歡呼。耶和華啊,你的工作何其大!你的心思極其深!(詩篇 92:1-5)
It is good to give thanks to the LORD, to sing praises to thy name, O Most High; to declare thy steadfast love in the morning, and thy faithfulness by night, to the music of the lute and the harp, to the melody of the lyre. For thou, O LORD, hast made me glad by thy work; at the works of thy hands I sing for joy. How great are thy works, O LORD! Thy thoughts are very deep! (Psalm 92:1-5)
