永恆的舵手 The Everlasting Steerer


今晨收到講道舉證 網站寄來的一封電郵; 圖片以及標語,都令人驚心動魄!

「死亡,就像是我的車; 它載我去我要去的地方。」

我再次想起2000年前耶穌在約旦河西、對同行羣眾的警告、以及4000年前摩西在約旦河東、對以色列人的呼喚。(這兩個月講道時,我一再引用這兩段經文:)

「鹽、本是好的,鹽若失了味,可用什麼叫它再鹹呢?或用在田裏、或堆在糞裏,都不合式,只好丟在外面。 有耳可聽的,就應當聽!」 (新約路加14:34, 35)

「我今日呼天喚地向你作見證,我將生死、禍福陳明在你面前,所以你要揀選生命,使你和你的後裔都得存活。」 (舊約申命記30:19)

Wow!

難怪使徒保羅也苦口婆心如此呼籲:

「死啊,你得勝的權勢在哪裏?
死啊,你的毒鉤在哪裏?
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。
所以我親愛的弟兄們,你們務要堅固,不可搖動,常常竭力多作主工。 因為你知道,你們的勞苦在主裏面不是徒然的。」 (新約哥林多前書15:55-58)

阿們!

歐,主啊我的神,我們天上永恆終極的愛人,
您,惟獨您,是我們的掌舵、生命自始至終的導航!



I received an email from SermonQuotes.com this morning;  both the picture and the motto are stunning!

“Death is like my car, it takes where I want to go.”

I recalled again the warning that Jesus stated to His people 2000 years ago at the west bank of Jordan River, and even 4000 years ago, Moses appealed to the Israelite at the east bank of Jordan River. (I have been quoting these two scriptures often recently while preaching:)

"Salt is good; but if salt has lost its taste, how can its saltiness be restored? It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile; they throw it away.  Le anyone with ears to hear listen!" 
(Luke 1434,35)

"I call heaven and earth to witness against you today that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses.  Choose life so that you and your descendants may live…."
(Deuteronomy 3019)

Wow!

No wonder the Apostle Paul also appealed

"Where, O death, is your victory?
Where, O death, is your sting?
The sting of death is sin, and, the power of sin is the law. But thanks to be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Therefore, my beloved, be steadfast, immovable, always excelling in the work of the Lord, because you know that in the Lord your labor is not in Vain." 
(2 Corinthians 1555-58)

Amen!

O Lord, our God,
Our utmost and ultimate Lover in heaven,
You, You alone, are our steering wheel,
The only Guide of our life, from eternal to eternal!
