更美的家鄉 (姜平凡傳道)

以信心的回應和經歷神的吩咐和旨意,可以使我們經歷到神的奇妙和美好,從而可以預嘗和體驗到神應許賜給我們未來的美好事物,產生真實可信的盼望。當我們有了真實美好的屬靈經歷,與世界進行比較,自然就不會遇到困境就退縮,或者就被世界物質引誘去追隨世界,回到世界,就會更羨慕天家。忍耐等候去進入更美的天家。這個天家是神給我們的啟示,是神為每一個信他到底的人所預備的。



神給我們未來天家的美好應許,讓我們可以堅定走信心的道路,不同於世界的道路,憑著信心去經歷神,使我們在困境中有盼望,不至於面對眼前的困難會心喪膽,而是憑信心跨越,最終到達神為我們預備的那將來更美獎賞榮耀和家鄉。


希伯來書 11:13-16 (和合本)

  1. 這些人都是存著信心死的,並沒有得著所應許的,卻從遠處望見,且歡喜迎接,又承認自己在世上是客旅,是寄居的。
  2. 說這樣話的人,是表明自己要找一個家鄉。
  3. 他們若想念所離開的家鄉,還有可以回去的機會。
  4. 他們卻羨慕一個更美的家鄉,就是在天上的。所以神被稱為他們的神,並不以為恥,因為他已經給他們預備了一座城。
Hebrews 11:13-16 (NIV)

  1. All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance, admitting that they were foreigners and strangers on earth.
  2. People who say such things show that they are looking for a country of their own.
  3. If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return.
  4. Instead, they were longing for a better country—a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.
