 Peter knew that he was leaving soon, and he wrote this. His last testimony. He knew Jesus. And he followed to the end. There is no record of his personal life except that he was married with a wife and also a mother-in-law! Peter brought his family...

基督徒也会有悲伤的日子 (revised 2024-12-15)

 诀别了最爱,惟有泪千行,梦里归去,尘满面,鬓如霜。




她美丽的心灵花园

默想经文:以赛亚书40章 神的子民当看神的伟大和承诺!

以赛亚书第 40 章的信息旨在鼓励神的子民在即将到来的巴比伦之囚和等待期间。以赛亚提醒他们,这是一个“等候神”的时期。这是一个积极期待、期待接下来会发生什么的时期。它被定义为“足够坚强,能够坚持下去。坚固的耐力就像一块坚硬的橡木,在压力下永远不会弯曲。”

等候神永远不会浪费时间。当我们通过阅读和学习神的话语来培养我们的信心时,当我们学习我们应该如何祈祷的课程时,当我们运用我们的属灵恩赐、才能和努力来服事神和他人时,等候神永远不会浪费时间。

世人多么渴望“奔走不困倦,行走不疲乏”的日子到来!“但那等候耶和华的必重新得力,他们必如鹰展翅上腾!”(赛40:31)

坟墓不是你的终结目标 the grave is not your goal

 


耶稣很少提到“死亡”;这个词太人性化了。他更喜欢用“睡眠”或“摆脱”这些更柔和的名字,从而使死亡成为生命的加速器,或将其比作从束缚到自由的胜利进军。对耶稣来说,“死阴幽谷”也不是一个陌生的地方。他知道它所有的秘密,所有的曲折。这是他自己的领地,他的意志至高无上。

复活节的早晨敲响了新的音节,音乐继续演奏,虽然音调较高,但音调相同,旋律也相同。人类的生命也是如此。”

“坟墓不是我们的终结目标。”随着凡人获得永生,条件和环境必然会改变,但生命本身将是同一种生命,在这里是可见的和暂时的事物,在那里是无形的和永恒的事物。

Jesus did not often speak of "death"; that was too human a word. He preferred the softer names of "sleep" or "exodus," thus making death the quickener of life, or likening it to a triumphal march from bondage to liberty. Nor was "the Valley of the Shadow" to Jesus a strange, unfamiliar place. He knew all its secrets, all its windings. It was His own territory, where His will was supreme. 

the Easter morning struck a fresh bar, and the music went on, in the higher spaces, it is true, but in the same key and in the same sweet strain. And just so is it with all human life"; 

"The Grave is not our goal." Conditions and circumstances will of necessity change, as the mortal puts on immortality, but the life itself will be one and the same life, here amid things visible and temporal, and there amid the invisible and eternal.
