双语灵修（葛培理牧师）：3月4日 耶稣将要再来

3月4日

耶稣将要再来

亲爱的弟兄啊，有一件事你们不可忘记……主所应许的尚未成就，有人以为他是耽延。其实不是耽延，乃是宽容你们，不愿有一人沉沦，乃愿人人都悔改。

——彼得后书3:8-9

很多人问“历史终将归于何处？”如果仔细阅读圣经，我们会发现上帝掌管着命运的指针。纵然世界混乱不堪，上帝全能的手依然在执行着他永不改变的计划和目的。耶稣基督将要再次降临到世界上。是基督在掌权，他决定结局。英国伟大的布道家乔治·怀特菲尔德曾说：“我每日都在期盼神子的到来。”但他并不是无为地坐在那里等，而是穷尽毕生精力广传基督的福音。

每日祷告：

父啊，求祢救我脱离懒惰，让我积极地向每一位愿意聆听的人传扬祢的救恩，直到我离世或祢再来之日。奉耶稣基督的名，阿们。

Jesus Is Coming

But don’t forget this, dear friends……He isn’t really being slow about his promised return, even though it sometimes seems that way. But he is waiting, for the good reason that he is not willing that any should perish, and he is giving more time for sinners to repent.
—2 Peter 3:8,9 (TLB)

Many people are asking, “Where is history heading?” A careful student of the Bible will be led to see that God controls the clock of destiny. Amid the world’s confusion, God’s omnipotent hand moves, working out His unchanging plan and purpose. Jesus Christ is coming to earth again. It is Christ who is in control, and He will determine the outcome. George Whitefield, the great English evangelist, said, “I am daily waiting for the coming of the Son of God.” But he did not sit down and do nothing. He burned out his life in proclaiming the Gospel of Christ.

Prayer for the day:

Father, deliver me from slothfulness, keep me quickened to deliver Your message of salvation to everyone who will listen, until that day I die or You return again. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
