十一月是個非常溫馨的季節,也是SVCA每年的「感恩月」。感謝主!讓我們藉著以下三十天的經文,每日一小段,來提醒我們要常存感謝的心,向 神獻上我們的感恩。今年的感恩經文配合年度的主題:「主的靈在哪裡,那裡就得以自由」(林後 3:17b) 。讓我們藉著這些經文,每天順服聖靈的工作,盼望不論是在我們個人或在團體的生活和事奉中,都能更深、更廣地經歷聖靈大能的釋放、膏抹、醫治、更新,和改變,進而可以活出一個聖靈滿溢,自由豐盛的人生!

November is a very heartwarming season. It is also the “Month of Thanksgiving” here at SVCA. Praise the Lord! Let us offer our thanksgiving to God through these 30 Bible passages - one passage a day. This year’s Thanksgiving Bible passages are inspired by our annual theme - "Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty (2 Cor. 3:17b).” Let's submit to the Work of the Holy Spirit through these passages. Let’s experience the mighty power of the Holy Spirit in our corporate service and personal lives. He is able to deliver, anoint, heal, renew, and change us, so that we can live a Spirit-filled life full of freedom and abundance.

Month of Thanksgiving - Day 5

哥林多前書15:55-57
“死啊,你得勝的權勢在哪裡?死啊,你的毒鉤在哪裡?”死的毒鉤就是罪,罪的權勢就是律法。感謝 神,使我們藉著我們的主耶穌基督得勝。

無論我們受過多少的教育,多麼有才華,多麼富有,多麼“酷”, 我們都不可避免地活在死亡的陰影底下。死亡有一個“毒鉤”是每一個人都沒有辦法逃脫的。

“死的毒鉤就是罪” - 人人都有的罪是那毒鉤;
”罪的權勢就是律法” - 律法好像一面鏡子一樣顯出我們都是罪人
“感謝 神,使我們得勝” - 是藉著我們的智慧,知識,能力,和力量嗎?斷乎不是,只有“藉著我們的主耶穌基督”才能得勝!也只有耶穌基督藉著死,敗壞那掌死權的,就是魔鬼,並要釋放那些一生因怕死而為奴僕的人。

如今對基督徒來說,死亡只是成為一道通向永恆的門,讓我們可以和愛我們的主永遠同在!並且有一天,所有在基督裡的也都要復活!感謝我們的主耶穌基督!

1 Corinthians 15:55-57
“O Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory?” The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

No matter how educated, talented, rich, or cool you are, we all live in the shadow of the death, which is inevitable. Death has a "sting" that no one could escape.

"The sting of death is sin". It is sin that has the real stinger.
"The strength of sin is the law". The law is the mirror that shows us we are sinners.
"But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory." How? Because of our wisdom, strength, power,  knowledge? Not at all, the victory is through and can only be through our Lord Jesus Christ, who by His death has destroyed the one who has the power of death, and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.. 

Now death to believers is a just doorway that opens up the vast regions of eternity to be presence with Jesus Christ! One day all in Christ will be made alive! Thank you Lord Jesus Christ!
