11月22日 對付以往




經文:「你們信我能作這事麼?」(太9:28)

我們的神是一位專門對付「不可能」的神;在祂是沒有「太遲的」事;任何所謂不可能的事,只要能用完全的信心帶到祂的面前,就一定是有可能的。

許多在生活中與環境上的「不可能」,其目的都是為了讓我們榮耀神。如果在我們已往的生活中有了背逆、不信、罪惡、不幸,只要我們願意完全地降服與信靠,主絕對不會說「太遲」的,因為祂總是有辦法對付那些悲劇。

常有人說基督教是惟一能夠對付人的過往的宗教;這話是眞實的。因為神能「將蝗蟲....所喫的那些年補還」(珥2:25);當我們將環境和自己用完全的信心毫不保留地交在神手裡的時候,祂必補還我們曾經失敗的那些年日。這不是因為我們,而是因為神自己。

神是赦免的、醫治的、補還的,並「賜諸般恩典的神」(彼前5:10),讓我們一起讚美與信靠祂吧!--譯自主日學報 Sunday School Times

我們擁有一位專門對付「不可能」的神,在祂絕對沒有「太難」的事。 --慕安得烈 Andrew Muray

Dealing With the Past

Scripture: "Believe ye that I am able to do this?" (Matt. 9:28).

God deals with impossibilities. It is never too late for Him to do so, when the impossible is brought to Him, in full faith, by the one in whose life and circumstances the impossible must be accomplished if God is to be glorified. If in our own life there have been rebellion, unbelief, sin, and disaster, it is never too late for God to deal triumphantly with these tragic facts if brought to Him in full surrender and trust. It has often been said, and with truth, that Christianity is the only religion that can deal with man's past. God can "restore the years that the locust hath eaten" (Joel 2:25); and He will do this when we put the whole situation and ourselves unreservedly and believingly into His hands. Not because of what we are but because of what He is. God forgives and heals and restores. He is "the God of all grace." Let us praise Him and trust Him. --Sunday School Times

"We have a God who delights in impossibilities." Nothing too hard for Me. --Andrew Murray
