双语灵修(葛培理牧师):6月14日 他是谁?

6月14日

他是谁?

 

他们弃掉耶和华的话,心里还有什么智慧呢?

——耶8:9

 

使徒保罗曾经问过“主啊,你是谁?”这是我们每个人都要面临的问题。如果明知自己不是神,耶稣仍自称他是神的儿子,那么他就是说谎者,就是世界上最大的骗子;如果他认为自己是神,又不知道神的作为,那么他就是精神有问题;但如果他真的是神,他就理应是我们生命的主。如果他是圣经中所说的神,为什么我们不肯承认基督呢?

 

每个人都要面临彼拉多曾经的疑问:“那称为基督的耶稣我怎么办他呢”?彼拉多拿水在众人面前洗手,说“流这义人的血不在我,你们承担吧”。但是神不希望我们这样。我们可以选择取笑耶稣,拒绝耶稣,甚至忽略耶稣;我们也可以选择接受耶稣,总之我们必须选择信或者不信。

 

今日祷告

主耶稣基督,很多人拒绝接受祢作为生命的救主,愿祢除去我里面一切的不义,以免阻止他人信靠祢!祷告奉耶稣的名,阿们。

Who is He?

 

. . . for they have rejected the word of the Lord……
—Jeremiah 8:9 (TLB)

 

The Apostle Paul once asked, “Who art thou, Lord?” That is a question each of us has to face. If Jesus claimed to be the Son of God, knowing He was not, then He was a deceiver, the greatest liar the world has ever known. If He thought He was God and didn’t know the difference, then He was a mental case. But if He was who He claimed to be, then He is rightfully the Lord of our lives. What keeps us from acknowledging this Christ, if He is what the Bible tells us He is?

 

Each of us has to face the question that Pilate asked, “What shall I do then with Jesus which is called the Christ?” Pilate washed his hands and said he would have nothing to do with Jesus, but God does not let us off that way. We must say “yes” or “no.” We can make fun of Jesus, we can reject Him, we can neglect Him—or we can receive Him.

Prayer for the day
Lord Jesus, with so many still rejecting You, take away everything within me that would stop another receiving You as Savior and Lord. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
