人的光

人的光

生命在祂里头，这生命就是人的光。光照在黑暗里，黑暗却不接受光（约翰福音1:4-5）

亲爱弟兄姊妹们，无论何时你感觉被黑暗包围，魔鬼在压制着你，那么请记住：世界的光在你里面，是一切地狱势力尽再大努力也无法熄灭的。

即使你处在最软弱的时候、即使你感觉你里面的光微弱无力，魔鬼的黑暗势力也无法与你抗衡。

让我给你说明我的意思。想象你在一个宽敞的会堂里，那里没有窗和门，所以外面的光无法照进来，里面黑得什么都看不到，伸手不见五指。可以说除了黑暗，里面什么都没有。

现在想象有一只小萤火虫飞在会堂里，所有注意力都转向这个微弱的亮光。虽然这个小亮光与周围的大黑暗比起来是如此微弱，但你始终都能看到它。这巨大的黑暗根本无法吞噬小虫的微光，小虫飞到每一个地方，黑暗只能屈服，永远都会被小虫的亮光所驱散。

当你周围的境况开始变得黑暗起来、你开始朝向绝望时，你要想到那只萤火虫。你要默想这个事实：耶稣基督，这世界的光就在你里面。那么当这个黑暗再击打你时，你就绝不会再让黑暗把你击退到绝境，你要开始追击它，靠着你里面的光战胜它。

研经：以弗所5:8-16

5:8 从前你们是暗昧的，但如今在主里面是光明的，行事为人就当像光明的子女。

5:9 光明所结的果子，就是一切良善、公义、诚实，

5:10 总要察验何为主所喜悦的事。  

5:11 那暗昧无益的事不要与人同行，倒要责备行这事的人。  

5:12 因为他们暗中所行的，就是提起来也是可耻的。  

5:13 凡事受了责备，就被光显明出来，因为一切能显明的就是光。  

5:14 所以主说你这睡着的人当醒过来，从死里复活，基督就要光照你了。  

5:15 你们要谨慎行事，不要像愚昧人，当像智慧人；

5:16 要爱惜光阴，因为现今的世代邪恶。

在此，我们夫妻感谢上帝，我们主耶稣基督的父，赐给我们美好的一天，也赐给我们你们这些忠心于主的弟兄姊妹们。

The LIGHT of all mankind

John 1:4-5

4 In HIM was life, and that life was the LIGHT of all mankind. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

                                                                                                                     

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Whenever things around you get dark and you feel the devil is about to overpower you, remember this: You have the LIGHT of the world in you, and try as they may, all the forces of hell can't put it out!

Even when you're at your weakest, even when you feel like the light within you is small, the devil's darkness is no match for you.

Let me show you what I mean. Imagine for a moment that you're in a large auditorium that has no windows or doors to let in outside light. The place is so black you can't see anything, not even your hand in front of your face. There's nothing around you but complete darkness!

Now, imagine one little lightning bug flying around that auditorium. Every eye in there would turn toward it. As small as that little light is in comparison to the great darkness around it, you would still be able to see it. That massive blackness wouldn't be able to do a thing to shut off that bug. Everywhere he flew, the darkness would just have to yield. It would always be dispelled by his light.

When the circumstances around you begin to get black and you're tempted to despair, think about that lightning bug. Meditate on the fact that JESUS CHRIST, the LIGHT of the world, is in you. When the revelation of that hits you, you'll never again let the darkness back you into a corner. You'll start chasing it down-- overcoming it with your light!

Scripture Study:

Ephesians 5:8-16

New International Version (NIV)

8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the LORD. Live as children of light 9 (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) 10 and find out what pleases the LORD. 11 Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. 12 It is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. 13 But everything exposed by the light becomes visible—and everything that is illuminated becomes a light. 14 This is why it is said:

“Wake up, sleeper,

    rise from the dead,

    and CHRIST will shine on you.”

15 Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.

We give thanks to GOD, the FATHER of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, for this day and for you, faithful brothers and sisters.

人为人子恨恶你们，你们就有福了

人为人子恨恶你们、拒绝你们、辱骂你们、弃掉你们的名，以为是恶，你们就有福了。当那日你们要欢喜跳跃，因为你们在天上的赏赐是大的，他们的祖宗待先知也是这样（路加福音6:22-23）  

亲爱的弟兄姊妹们，你想知道怎样抵制魔鬼吗？只要跟着上面最后一节的指示去做。当迫害临到你时、当朋友或家人因为你相信按手祷告病就会痊愈而抨击你时、当同事们因为你爱主耶稣而说你是入迷太深时，你不怕他们说你什么，只是常存喜乐，欢喜跳跃地高呼“哈利路亚”！

我告诉你，这样做就能抵制魔鬼到底。魔鬼的目的是要迫害你，使你受伤，他是要损害你的信心，进而消灭你，把你丢进沮丧的坑里。

我不是说你要喜爱迫害，而是说你可以把注意力集中在将来的赏赐和主耶稣应许你的祝福上，这样你就能学会忽视那些迫害所带给你的不安。

使徒保罗必定知道怎样欢欢喜喜地面对一切迫害，因为他是这方面的专家，虽然撒旦不断给他制造苦难，但是你知道对此保罗说什么吗？他说：“我想现在的苦楚，若比起将来要显于我们的荣耀，就不足介意了。”（罗马书8:18）

如果保罗屡遭击打、石砸、船难、坐牢……几乎受尽各样的迫害，但始终都是常存喜乐，那么你也同样能够做到，只要你是真正地爱基督！

你就做保罗所做的：当保罗被圣灵指示，有捆锁与患难等着他时，他说：“我却不以性命为念，也不看为宝贵，只要行完我的路程，成就我从主耶稣所领受的职事，证明 神恩惠的福音。”（使徒行传20:24）

不要使自己陷入专注世上的人怎样想你、怎样说你，你要定睛于被上帝悦纳，定睛于欢欢喜喜地行完你的路程，定睛于摆在我们前头的、那荣耀的盼望，因为那荣耀的盼望足以使所有人在所有境况中，都欢喜跳跃！

Blessed are you when people hate you, because of the SON of MAN

Luke 6:22-23

22 Blessed are you when people hate you,

    when they exclude you and insult you

    and reject your name as evil,

        because of the SON of MAN.

23 “Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven. For that is how their ancestors treated the prophets.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Brothers and Sisters

Do you want to know how to depress the devil? Just follow the instructions in that last verse. When persecution comes, when friends or family criticize you because you lay hands on the sick and believe in healing, and when co-workers call you a fanatic because you love JESUS and aren't afraid to say so, rejoice! Shout hallelujah and leap for joy!

I tell you that will discourage the devil to the end. He's expecting that persecution to hurt you. He's expecting it to damage your faith, to wipe you out, and to leave you in dismay.

I'm not saying you should enjoy the persecution itself. But you can learn to overlook the discomfort of those things by focusing your attention on the reward that's coming and the fact that JESUS said you are blessed.

The Apostle Paul certainly knew how to do that. He was an expert on rejoicing in the midst of persecution. Satan was constantly stirring up trouble for him. But do you know what he said about all that persecution? He said ," it was not even worth considering compared to the glory that was about to be revealed." (Romans 8:18)

If Paul could rejoice in the midst of beatings, stoning, shipwrecks, imprisonment and almost every other kind of persecution, you can do the same too if you truly love CHRIST!

Just do what he did. When Paul was told by the HOLY SPIRIT that bonds and afflictions awaited him, he said, "But none of these things move me, neither count I, my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the LORD JESUS, to testify the gospel of the grace of GOD" (Acts 20:24).

Don't get all caught up in what people think and what people say about you down here on earth. Get caught up in pleasing the LORD. Get caught up in finishing your course with joy. Get caught up in the glorious hope that's ahead. For that hope is enough to make anyone--under any circumstances--leap for joy!

悔改的心

主耶和华说：“我指着我的永生起誓，我断不喜悦恶人死亡，惟喜悦恶人转离所行的道而活。”（以西结33:11）

平安弟兄姊妹们！上帝不想任何一人受到审判，祂无时无刻都在恳求我们离开恶道，全心全意归向祂。上帝决不会拒绝任何一颗真正悔改的心！

当我们悔改并归向上帝时，上帝将涂抹我们的罪（使徒行传3:19）

对所有自称基督徒的人，主耶稣始终告诫说：“我告诉你们，不是的。你们若不悔改，都要如此灭亡”（路加福音13:3）

Repentant Heart

Ezek. 33:11 - "As I live," says the LORD GOD, "I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live."

Shalom Brothers n Sisters,

GOD does not want to judge anyone. HE is all the time pleading with us to turn from our wicked ways and return to HIM with  all our heart and all our soul. GOD will never reject anyone with a truly repentant heart.

Our sins will be wiped out when we repent and turn to GOD (Acts 3:19).

To all those who called themselves Christians; JESUS said and is still saying "I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish" (Luke 13:3).

作服从上帝话语的行动者

他们看你如善于奏乐、声音幽雅之人所唱的雅歌，他们听你的话却不去行（以西结33:32）

平安弟兄姊妹们！新约里告诉我们，虽然希律王“敬畏”施洗约翰，“乐意听他讲论”（马可福音6:20因为希律知道约翰是义人、是圣人，所以敬畏他、保护他。听他讲论，就多照着行，并且乐意听他），但最终还是杀了约翰。很多基督徒有自己喜欢的牧师，然而更关键的是：不只是听牧师讲道，还要行出基督的话语（雅各书1:22只是你们要行道，不要单单听道，自己欺哄自己）。如果你是主耶稣基督真正的跟从者，那么就要作服从祂教导的行动者。真正听从上帝的话语，就必会不断结出神性行为的果实。

Be a doer of GOD's WORD

Ezek. 33:32 - "Indeed you are to them as a very lovely song of one who has a pleasant voice and can play well on an instrument; for they hear your words, but they do not do them."

Shalom Brothers n Sisters,

The New Testament tells us that King Herod "feared" John the Baptist and "heard him gladly" (Mark 6:20 - for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just and holy man and he protected him. And when he heard him he did many things and heard him gladly) until he killed him. Many Christians have their favorite preachers; the point, however, is not merely hearing, but doing the WORD of CHRIST that he preached (James 1: 22 - But be doers of the WORD, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves). If you are a true follower of our LORD JESUS CHRIST be a doer of HIS teachings. True hearing of the WORD must lead to godly action.
