双语灵修（葛培理牧师）：12月21日 羔羊引领

12月21日

羔羊引领

因为宝座中的羔羊必牧养他们，领他们到生命水的泉源；神也必擦去他们一切的眼泪。

启示录7:17

这是天堂的最高实现。在基督与祂的教会之间将永远保持亲密的关系。祂将是“宝座中的羔羊”，牧养祂的子民，领他们到活水的泉源。

有了这种大而确定的把握，未来就不会有我们无法面对的恐惧。危机之外是天堂和我们梦中的理想世界。因此，基督徒永远不应该充满恐惧、沮丧或失望。

如果你不接受基督为救主，你的未来将是暗淡无光、悲观失望的。将你的生命交给主耶稣基督。让祂进入你心里，转换、改变你。勇敢、信心和刚强来自于十字架，基督在十字架上倒空自己，降卑自己，甚至死在十字架上。耶稣说：“在世上你们有苦难，但你们可以放心，我已经胜了世界。”

爱尔兰诗人和剧作家奥利弗·戈德史密斯写下了这些深刻的话语：

希望有如闪烁的烛光

照耀我们前行的方向；

随着黑夜越来越深，

希望之光更加明亮。

今日祷告：

天父，让羔羊藉着祢的圣灵引导我们；奉耶稣的名，阿们。

LED BY THE LAMB

For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them,and shall lead them unto living fountains of water:and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.Revelation 7:17

This is the supreme reality of heaven.There will be an intimate relationship between Christ and His Church throughout eternity.He will be“the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne,”and He shall feed His own and shall lead them to fountains of living waters.

With this great certainty and assurance,the future holds no terrors we cannot face.Beyond the crisis lies heaven and the utopia of our dreams.Thus the Christian should never be filled with fear,discouragement,or despondency.

If you do not know Christ as Savior,the future is bleak and dark and pessimistic indeed.Surrender your life to the Lord Jesus Christ.Let Him come to your heart and transform you and change you.

Courage,faith,and fortitude come from the cross where Christ emptied Himself and humbled Himself,even to the death of the cross.Jesus said,“In the world you will have troubles;but be of good courage,I have overcome the world.”

Oliver Goldsmith,the Irish poet and playwright,penned these insightful words:

Hope,like a gleaming taper’s light,Adorns and cheers our way;And still,as darker grows the night,Emits a brighter ray.

Pray for the Day:

Father,let me be led by the Lamb through Your Holy Spirit;in Jesus’Name,Amen.
