太:在前的,在后的。难理解吗?我的信心生活为什么要跟别人去比较呢?神不是掌管一切吗?下一段更是剖析得完全:whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave
诗:Remember not the sins of my youth and my rebellious ways; according to your love remember me, for you are good, O LORD. 宝贵的应许,神的确要赦免我们曾经的过犯。(如果懂希伯来语,背诵此诗会是享受。因为每句第一个字母是按字母次序排列的,利於背诵。22个字母,22行诗句。诗篇119篇跟是奇特,176行诗句,每8行为字母头韵,22组字母诗。)
ZT Mike’s comments: The lamb was sacrificed as a substitute the Hebrews first-born sons. The blood of the lamb was placed on the doorposts as a sign that the household had sacrificed an innocent life - the lamb. By the blood of the unblemished/perfect lamb, the household was protected from death. This is a foreshadowing of Jesus’ ministry.
I can’t realize this if I read it by myself.
Matthew
Another parable of Kingdom of Heaven….. Good answer for “So the last will be first, and the first will be last.”
20: 26-28: Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave— just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.
Jesus told us that we have to be humble and we will get rewarded. Jesus is the son of God but he was/is willing to serve and sacrifice his life. Very impressive……
Psalms: 25:8-10
Good and upright is the LORD;
therefore he instructs sinners in his ways.
He guides the humble in what is right
and teaches them his way.
All the ways of the LORD are loving and faithful
for those who keep the demands of his covenant.
Proverbs: It seems that today’s reading is for me. I am too lazy……. Feel shamed when I think about the ants. Tiny and vulnerable but never give up.
Matthew 20
1。在这里找到了上一章关于“ 那在后的将要在前,在前的将要在后了”的答案了。看样子革命不分先后,天国是不论资排辈的。在神面前人人平等:)
2。耶稣又一次预示他将要蒙的难,
17 耶稣上耶路撒冷去的时候,在路上把十二个门徒带到一边对他们说,
24 那十个门徒听见,就恼怒他们弟兄二人。
Q:这时耶稣到底有几个门徒?
Psalm 25
-这首诗非常非常精彩,尽抒那种对神全身心的敬仰赞美热爱,很让人感动!诸如:
4 Show me your ways, O LORD,
teach me your paths;
5 guide me in your truth and teach me,
for you are God my Savior,
and my hope is in you all day long.
是非常有感染力的诗句!
