《使徒行傳》第二章,三十八节
ACTS 2:38
今天我们一起背诵默想的经文来自新约《使徒行传》第二章,三十八节。亲爱的听众朋友,你听过“受洗”这一词吗?也许你已经受洗多年了,那你还记得受洗日的情景吗?更重要的是,你是否明白受洗的真正意义呢?今天的经文提醒我们悔改跟从主耶稣基督,是受洗的前提准备,而领受圣灵过圣洁的新生活则是悔改的应许。跟从主耶稣的使徒彼得听过悔改的教训,但也软弱过,曾经三次不认主。然而因着主耶稣的复活和圣灵的大能,曾经是打鱼的彼得有胆量向众人讲道,“当日门徒添了三千人”。我们也需要圣灵所赐的信心与勇气来公开我们的信仰,完全委身地为主做美好见证。求圣灵充满我们,让我们每天靠主得胜,经历神的大能,荣耀归主!
Today we will recite a meditation from the book of Acts, chapter 2, verse 38 of the New Testament. Dear listeners, have you ever heard of the word "baptism"? Perhaps you have been baptized for many years, but do you remember the day of baptism? More importantly, do you understand the true meaning of baptism? Today's scripture reminds us that repentance and following the Lord Jesus Christ is a prerequisite preparation for baptism, and receiving the Holy Spirit for a new life of holiness is a promise of repentance. The apostle Peter, who followed the Lord Jesus, had heard the teaching of repentance, but was also weak and denied the Lord three times. However, because of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit, Peter, who had been a fisherman, had the courage to preach to the multitudes, and "three thousand disciples were added that day". We, too, need the faith and courage given by the Holy Spirit to open our faith, and commit ourselves completely to be good witnesses for the Lord. Ask the Holy Spirit to fill us, so that we may be victorious in the Lord every day, and experience the power of God, to the glory of the Lord! (translation from DeepL.com/translator)
