双语灵修（葛培理牧师）：11月11日 唯一道路

唯一道路

祂既得以完全，就为凡顺从祂的人，成了永远得救的根源。

希伯来书5:9

一个开车的人停下来问一个行人，到某条街怎么走。当那人告诉他后，司机怀疑地问：“这是最好的路吗？”那人回答说：“这是唯一的路。”

救恩只有一条路。耶稣说：“我就是道路，真理，生命；若不藉着我，没有人能到父那里去”（约翰福音14:6）。圣经的最后一个邀请是：“圣灵和新妇都说：来。听见的人也该说：来。口渴的人也当来；凡愿意的都可以白白取生命的水喝”（启示录22:17）。

现在仍然是一个恩典时代。上帝提供的宽恕和新生命依然有效。然而，这扇门终有一天会关闭。总有一天，一切会太迟了。这就是为什么圣经不断警告和催促，“现在正是悦纳的时候”（哥林多后书6:2）。我们传扬福音，要求人们认识主耶稣基督的恩典，因为现在仍然是恩典的日子，救恩的门仍然敞开着。当洪水来临时，挪亚在方舟里安然无恙。他信靠上帝，相信上帝的话。你也可以在我们生存的这个世界上平安稳妥，只要你相信并接受一个事实，就是基督为我们的罪死在十字架上，并为我们的称义而复活，而这个事实，却被这世界称之为“荒谬”。但对我们这些得救的人来说，这是上帝拯救的大能。

对这个垂死的世界来说，这可能没什么意义。但对我们这些认识基督的人来说，这是一种无穷的大能，一种极大而荣耀的平安。你知道这种只有基督才能给你的平安吗？你今天就可以知道，只要你认罪悔改并接受基督作你的上帝、你的主和救主。无论你身在何方，处于世界哪个角落，你现在就可以做到。

今日祷告：

天父，我献上我的生命，相信并接受耶稣作我的上帝、我的主和救主。接受我，帮助我成为光，照亮并显明那唯一的道路——耶稣基督；奉耶稣的名，阿们。

THE ONE AND ONLY WAY

And being made perfect,he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him.Hebrews 5:9

A man in a car stopped to ask a pedestrian the way to a certain street.When the man told him the way,the driver asked doubtfully,“Is that the best way?”The man replied,“That is the only way.”

There is only one way of salvation.Jesus said,“I am the way,the truth,and the life:no man cometh unto the Father,but by me”(John 14:6).The last invitation of the Bible says,“And the Spirit and the bride say,Come.And let him that heareth say,Come.And let him that is a thirst come.And whosoever will,let him take of the water of life freely”(Revelation 22:17).

This is still an age of grace.God’s offer of forgiveness and a new life still stands.However,the door will one day be closed.Someday it will be too late.That is why the Bible continually warns and challenges,“Now is the accepted time”(2 Corinthians 6:2).We’re proclaiming the Gospel,asking people to come to a knowledge of the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ,because it is still a day of grace,and the door of salvation is still open.When the flood came,Noah was safe and secure in the ark.He trusted God and took Him at His Word.You too can be safe and secure in the world in which we live by believing and accepting what the world calls“foolish”-the fact that Christ died on the cross for our sins and rose for our justification.But to those of us who are saved,it is the power of God unto salvation.

This may make very little sense to this dying world.But to those of us who know Christ,it is a tremendous power and a great and glorious peace.Do you know this peace that only Christ can give?You can know it today by repenting of your sins and receiving Christ as your Lord,Master,and Savior.And you can do it right now wherever you are,anywhere in the world.

Pray for the Day:

Father,I give my life and believe and receive Jesus as my Lord and Master and Savior.Receive me,and help me to be a light to shine out and reveal the One and only Way to You—Jesus Christ;in Jesus’Name,Amen.
