箴言30-31章 哥林多后书11章1-15节


名作家史达‧特克尔（Studs Terkel）正在为他的下一本著作寻找题材，他的朋友建议他写「死亡」。虽然起初他有点抗拒，后来构想却渐渐成形。然而，真正推动他写这主题的，就是特克尔结缡六十载的妻子辞世。这本书也成为了他个人的探索，渴望了解死亡之后的事，以及他的挚爱去了何方。同时，这书也让我们深刻反思我们追寻耶稣的过程，以及我们在信心旅途上对永生的疑问和关注。


我很感恩我们能拥有确据，只要我们信靠耶稣赦免我们的罪，我们死后将与耶稣同住。世上没有比这更大的盼望了。 如今我们能与他人分享这份盼望，乃是我们的殊荣。彼得前书3章15节鼓励我们：「有人问你们心中盼望的缘由，就要常作准备，以温柔、敬畏的心回答各人。」上帝赐予我们跟人传讲福音的机会，正如大卫所说：「求告祂的名，在万民中传扬祂的作为。」（历代志上16章8节）


许多我们所爱的人，他们的人生还没有结束，我们还有机会跟他们分享耶稣的爱，就应该更加珍惜。

我爱传讲主福音，福音美妙称心；


胜过夺人的奇珍，胜过所梦黄金。


我爱传讲主福音，福音益我何多；


使我得到一新心，使我得进神国。


Hankey


让我们在有生之年热切地把握机会，传讲耶稣在我们生命中的故事。

Our Daily Bread -- Love To Tell His Story

READ: 1 Chronicles 16:7-13

Oh, give thanks to the Lord! Call upon His name; make known His deeds among the peoples! —1 Chronicles 16:8

When noted author Studs Terkel was looking for a topic for his next book, one of his friends suggested “death.” While he was resistant at first, the idea gradually began to take shape, but its voice became all too real when Mr. Terkel’s wife of 60 years passed away. Now the book was also a personal search: a yearning to know what lies beyond, where his loved one had just gone. Its pages are a poignant reminder of our own search for Jesus and the questions and concerns we have about eternity while we walk our faith journey.

I’m thankful for the assurance we can have that we will be with Jesus after we die if we have trusted in Him to forgive our sin. There is no greater hope. It is now our privilege to share that hope with as many as we can. First Peter 3:15 encourages us: “. . . always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear.” We have the opportunity from God, as David said, to “call upon His name; make known His deeds among the peoples” (1 Chron. 16:8).

The stories of so many people we love are not yet ended, and the privilege to tell them about the love of Jesus is a gift most precious. —Randy Kilgore

I love to tell the story; more wonderful it seems

Than all the golden fancies of all our golden dreams.

I love to tell the story, it did so much for me;

And that is just the reason I tell it now to thee. —Hankey

Let our days be filled with a longing— and the opportunities—to tell our story of Jesus.
