双语灵修（葛培理牧师）：7月11日 鼓起勇气

鼓起勇气

等候所盼望的福……

——提多书2：13

摆脱沮丧的最好的方法之一就是记住基督的再来。 这个世界上最令人激动和荣耀的事实就是耶稣基督的第二次显现。当我们环顾四周，看到四面八方的悲观情绪时，我们应该记住圣经是世界上唯一预言未来的书。

圣经比明日的晨报更具有现代性。它准确的预言未来，它说耶稣基督的再来成就所有的美善。如果你今天的生活中被忧郁，沮丧和悲观的情绪所充满，基督可以把这些黑暗挪去，并且祂爱的光芒将会照亮你生命中那黑暗的部分。

今日祷告：

主耶稣基督，我渴望见到祢的面，我期待着祢再一次的到来。祷告奉耶稣的名，阿们。

Encouragement

Looking for that blessed hope……

——Titus 2:13

One of the best ways to get rid of discouragement is to remember that Christ is coming again. The most thrilling, glorious truth in all the world is the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. When we look around and see pessimism on every side, we should remember the Bible is the only Book in the world that predicts the future.

The Bible is more modern than tomorrow morning’s newspaper. The Bible accurately foretells the future, and it says that the consummation of all things shall be the coming again of Jesus Christ to this earth. If your life is dismal, depressed, and gloomy today, Christ can turn those dark clouds inside out. The sunlight of His love can still shine into the darkest part of your life.

Prayer for the day：

Longing to see Your face, Christ Jesus, I rejoice in the anticipation of Your coming again! In Jesus’ name, Amen.
