双语灵修（葛培理牧师）：10月15日 经历耶稣

10月15日

经历耶稣

我对你们所说的话就是灵，就是生命。

——约6:63

尼哥底母是耶稣时代最敬虔的人之一，耶稣对他说“你们必须重生”（约3:7）。尼哥底母无法用他渊博的宗教知识来替代属灵的重生，我们也无法做到。我曾经读过一本关于滑水技巧的书，没过多久，我就意识到我根本不可能通过读一本书来学会滑水，我得去亲身体验。

我也读过许多关于如何打高尔夫球的书，但似乎没有一本能提高我的球技，我必须到高尔夫球场去打球。你可以学习神学和宗教，但是总有一天你必须亲身经历耶稣。

今日祷告

主啊，祢给了我生命，我赞美祢！奉主耶稣基督的圣名，阿们！

Experience Jesus

The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
—John 6:63

To one of the most religious men of His day, Jesus said, “Ye must be born again” (John 3:7). Nicodemus could not substitute his profound knowledge of religion for spiritual rebirth, and neither can we. I have read a book on water skiing, and it did not take long for me to learn that I could never learn to water ski by reading a book-I would have to experience it.

I have read a number of books on golf, but none of them seems to improve my game; I must get out on the golf course and play. You may study theology and religion, but there comes a time when you must experience Christ for yourself.

Prayer for the day
Lord, You have given me life and I praise You!
