【双语灵修】耶稣欢迎我们回家Jesus Welcomes Us Home
如果你已接受了耶稣进入你的生命,祂正在微笑和张开双手等待、来迎接你进入祂父亲的家。
“在我父的家里有许多住处;若是没有,我就早已告诉你们了。我去原是为你们预备地方去。” - 约 14:2
没有什么事比愉快地回家乡更为温馨的了,可能你最近也有机会享受过一次呢!有家人归来,孩子们、孙子们和其他亲戚都能聚首一堂,大家都高高兴兴再见面和叙旧。又或许是一次老朋友的团聚,大家实在已太久未见面了。如果你要为此作准备,你岂不会满怀期望地忙于奔跑 - 定下计划,预备食物,妥善安排住宿和房间呢?
耶稣正在预备欢迎我们回家。祂那么爱我们,所以祂想我们所有人都回到家中。而事实上,耶稣来到我们中间,就是要使我们将来可以与祂在天父的家重聚。
耶稣到来,把我们从罪和死亡的咒诅中拯救出来,好叫我们可以享受与祂永远一起的新生活。完成在世上的工作后,祂便返回天堂,现在祂在天堂正在为我们预备地方。
我可以想像到祂为我们预备的地方 - 有美味的食物,壮丽的音乐,称心的朋友 - 这一切都是在一个完全和平的环境中的美事。真是不可思议!
如果你已接受了耶稣进入你的生命,祂正在微笑和张开双手等待、来迎接你进入祂父亲的家。
祷告
耶稣啊,感谢你到来住在我们中间。天堂的家正在等待我们回来,我们期望这美妙的一天到来;我们又为你在世上作成的工感谢你。阿们。
约翰福音 14:1-4
1“你们心里不要忧愁,你们信神,也当信我。
2在我父的家里有许多住处,若是没有,我就早已告诉你们了,我去原是为你们预备地方去。
3我若去为你们预备了地方,就必再来接你们到我那里去,我在哪里,叫你们也在哪里。
4我往哪里去你们知道,那条路你们也知道。”
Jesus Welcomes Us Home
"My father's house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?" - John 14:2
There is nothing like a good homecoming. Perhaps you enjoyed one recently. Family members return home. Children, grandchildren, and other relations gather around, delighted to see each other and renew relationships. Or maybe a reunion brought together old friends who hadn't seen each other in a long time. If you were making preparations, didn't you scurry with anticipation—planning, preparing food, and making sure that accommodations were made and rooms were ready?
Jesus is preparing for us to come home. He loves us so much that he wants all of us to be there. In fact, the whole reason he came to live among us was so that we could later join him in our Father's house.
He came to rescue us from the curse of sin and death so that we can enjoy new life with him forever. Then he went back to heaven when his work here was complete. And now in heaven he is preparing a place for us.
I can imagine the kind of place being prepared—with wonderful food, glorious music, delightful friends—and all in a context of perfect peace. Wow!
If you have welcomed Jesus into your life, he waits, smiling and with outstretched arms, to welcome you into his Father's home.
Prayer
Jesus, thank you for coming to live among us. We look forward to the amazing homecoming that awaits us in heaven, thanks to your finished work here on earth. Amen.
