我拿什麼感謝主恩? (姜平凡傳道)
在這感恩的季節,我們除了感謝人,是否也有想過神在這一年當中,有給過我們多少恩典呢?如果我們要向人感恩,總會想要送點禮物,吃的、用的,那如果要跟神感恩的話,什麼樣的感恩才是神所喜悅的呢?在今天的經文中,我們經常會問,為什麼在聖經中的禱告總是那麼有效而且又很快就得到神的祝福,而我們的禱告卻好像都得不到回音呢?我們信則蒙恩,蒙恩則必須感恩,將神當得的榮耀歸還給神,放聲為主作見證。經文19節告訴我們感恩則恩上加恩,感恩的撒瑪利亞人不僅得到醫治之恩,更得到救恩。不僅得到主恩,更加得到了恩主。
向主送什麼感恩的禮物,最能讓主感到暖心?我們可以向家人、親朋好友BEST傳福音,分享自己信主蒙恩得救,生命改變的見證。也可以在朋友圈發一個將榮耀歸給主的感恩信息。
路加福音17:11-19 (和合本)
- 耶穌往耶路撒冷去,經過撒瑪利亞和加利利。
- 進入一個村子,有十個長大痲瘋的,迎面而來,遠遠的站著,
- 高聲說:耶穌,夫子,可憐我們罷!
- 耶穌看見,就對他們說:你們去把身體給祭司察看。他們去的時候就潔淨了。
- 內中有一個見自己已經好了,就回來大聲歸榮耀與神,
- 又俯伏在耶穌腳前感謝他;這人是撒瑪利亞人。
- 耶穌說:潔淨了的不是十個人麼?那九個在那裡呢?
- 除了這外族人,再沒有別人回來歸榮耀與神麼?
- 就對那人說:起來,走罷!你的信救了你了。
Luke 17:11-19 (NIV)
- Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee.
- As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy[a] met him. They stood at a distance
- and called out in a loud voice, “Jesus, Master, have pity on us!”
- When he saw them, he said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were cleansed.
- One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice.
- He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan.
- Jesus asked, “Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine?
- Has no one returned to give praise to God except this foreigner?”
- Then he said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well.”
