双语灵修（葛培理牧师）：8 月 30 日 耶稣得胜

8 月 30 日

耶稣得胜

感谢神，使我们藉着我们的主耶稣基督得胜。

哥林多前书 15:57

胜利属于你，去争取吧！这是你与生俱来的权利。布朗宁说：“那最好的还在后头。”这并不意味着基督徒永远不会遭受失败或经历人生低谷，但这确实意味着无论遇到什么问题，救主都必与你同在。尽管问题依然存在，但是我们享有平安。

以前在《福音先驱报》中有这样一个故事：

曾有人问伟大的音乐家海顿，他的教会音乐为什么那么欢快？他答道：“当我想到上帝时，我内心充满了喜乐；于是，音符仿佛从我的笔尖飞舞跳跃而出。因为上帝赐予我一颗快乐的心，所以难怪我以快乐的灵事奉祂。”

我们得胜的力量源源不断地来自基督。圣经并没有说，基督徒今生的罪已被完全根除；但圣经说，罪不再辖制我们，罪的力量和权势已被打破。基督徒如今已拥有超越这世界的生命资源。圣经说，凡是从神而生的，就不会犯罪。就像有位小女孩说的，当魔鬼带着试探来敲门时，她就让耶稣去开门。

今日祷告：

天父，祢已在耶稣里得胜，因此，世界和我都有了盼望。为此，我欢喜快乐，祢的喜乐充满我心；祷告奉耶稣的名，阿们。

VICTORY IN JESUS

Thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.                                       1 Corinthians 15:57, RSV

The victory is yours. Claim it! It is your birthright. Browning said, “The best is yet to be.” This doesn’t mean the Christian can never suffer defeat or experience low periods in life. But it does mean that the Savior goes with you no matter the problem. The peace comes in the midst of problems and in spite of them.

From the old Gospel Herald comes this appropriate story:

Haydn, the great musician, was once asked why his church music was so cheerful, and he replied, “When I think upon god, my heart is so full of joy that the notes dance and leap, as it were, from my pen, and since God has given me a cheerful heart, it will be pardoned me that I serve Him with a cheerful spirit.”

The strength for our conquering and our victory is drawn continually from Christ. The Bible does not teach that sin is completely eradicated from the Christian in this life, but it does teach that sin shall no longer reign over you. The Strength and power of sin have been broken. The Christian now has resources available to live above and beyond this world. The Bible teaches that whosoever is born of God does not practice sin. It is like the little girl who said that when the devil came knocking with a temptation, she just sent Jesus to the door.

Pray for the Day:

Father, You have won the victory in Jesus, and so there is hope for the world and hope for me. And in this I rejoice, and Your joy fills my heart; in Jesus’ Name, Amen.
