《馬太福音》第十一章,二十九节
MATTHEW 11:29
今天的经文来自新约《马太福音》11章29节。背诵默想之前,请想一想你所知道的救主耶稣,大能的神,是怎么样的一个人,有什么样突出的内在个性呢?今天的这句经文记下了耶稣对自己的性格描述。耶稣说他自己是“心里柔和谦卑”,这更显现了耶稣基督对天父旨意的完全顺服的心态。他邀请一切因苦苦寻找真理而“劳苦担重担的人”可以与他同负一轭,学习他的样式。亲爱的朋友,今天你的心因罪捆绑或因生活所困而劳苦吗?耶稣应许信靠顺服他的人就必得安息,因为他的“轭是容易的”,他的“担子是轻省的”。你愿意“放下各样的重担, 脱去容易缠累我们的罪” ,谦卑降伏地与主同工,荣耀归天父吗?
Today's scripture is from the New Testament, Matthew 11:29. Before you recite the meditation, think about what kind of person you know the Savior Jesus, the mighty God, to be, and what kind of outstanding inner personality he had. Today's verse records Jesus' description of his character. Jesus described himself as "meek and lowly in heart", which reveals more than anything else the complete submission of Jesus Christ to the will of the Father. He invited all those who "labor and are heavy laden" in their search for the truth to take the yoke with him and learn from his example. Dear friend, does your heart labor today because of the bondage of sin or because of the difficulties of life? Jesus promises rest to those who trust and obey him, for his "yoke is easy" and his "burden is light". Will you "lay aside every weight and cast off the sin that so easily besets us", and humbly surrender to work with the Lord, to the glory of the Father? (translation from DeepL.com/translator)
