双语灵修（葛培理牧师）：1月6日 主会再来

1月6日

主会再来

所以你们要儆醒，因为你们不知道家主什么时候来，或晚上，或半夜，或鸡叫，或早晨，恐怕他突然来到，看见你们睡着了。

（马可福音13:35-36）

伟大的德怀特L·穆迪曾说过：“在布道前，如果没有思想神会再来，我绝不会去布道。”

英国著名的牧师G.坎贝尔·摩根博士说：“如果早晨没有思想神会亲自带领我的工作，我不会开始工作。

我不想寻求灭亡，我只想寻求神。”这是基督徒应该有的生活方式——在耶稣再来的永恒盼望里。如果我们能够把每天的生活当成审判前的最后一天来度过，那么世界将会有很大的改变！但是我们不喜欢以这种方式思考，不愿意去想我们的精心计划以及长远的规划可能会被神的再来中断。很多人宁愿说：“嗯，世界末日现在还没有到来，为什么要去想这些呢？这大概是几千年以后需要考虑的事情。

今日祷告：

天父啊，今天或许是基督再来的最后一天，求你洁净我。奉耶稣的名，阿们。

He Is Coming Back

Keep a sharp lookout! For you do not know when I will come…… Watch for my return!

—Mark 13:35-36 (TLB)

The great Dwight L. Moody used to say, “I never preached a sermon without thinking that possibly the Lord may come before I preach another.”

Dr. G. Campbell Morgan, the distinguished British clergy-man, said, “I never begin my work in the morning without thinking that perhaps he may interrupt my work and begin His own. I am not looking for death. I am looking for Him.”

That is the way a Christian should live his life — in the constant anticipation of the return of Jesus Christ! If we could live every day as though it may be the very last one before the final judgment, what a difference it would make here on earth! But we don’t like to think that way. We don’t like to think that our carefully made plans, our long range schemes may be interrupted by the trumpet of God. Too many people would rather say, “Oh, well, the end of the world hasn’t come yet, so why think about it – it’s probably a thousand years away.”

Prayer for the day:

Today might be the last day when Jesus returns. Cleanse me, Father; in Jesus’ Name, Amen.
