双语灵修（葛培理牧师）：9月28日 耶稣的起源

九月二十八日

耶稣的起源

“还没有亚伯拉罕就有了我。”

——约8:58

耶稣不是开始于伯利恒。《圣经》说，“太初有道，道与神同在，道就是神。”耶稣说在地的根基没有立定之前就有了他。当月亮和星宿从天父燃烧的指尖被抛向太空时，他就在那里。当上帝创造这个星球时，他就在那里。他是永存的。他是“从亘古到永远”的。

今日祷告

主耶稣，你是永存的，因着爱从天上下来拯救我脱离罪的深渊。我以谦卑的敬意赞美你，我的救赎主和主宰。奉主耶稣基督的圣名，阿们！

The Beginning of Jesus

Before Abraham was, I am.

—John 8:58

Jesus did not begin in Bethlehem. The Bible says, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” Jesus said that He existed before the foundation of the world. He was there when the moon and stars were flung out into space from the Father’s flaming fingertips. He was there when God created this planet. He has always existed. He is “from everlasting to everlasting.”

Prayer for the day

You, Lord Jesus, who have always existed, came down from heaven in love and saved me from the depths of my sin. In humble adoration I praise You, my Savior and Lord.
