什么是 “福音” ?!...


我们原不是传自己,乃是传基督耶稣为主 ...
(林后 4:5)


犹太人是要神迹,希腊人是求智慧;
我们却是传钉十字架的基督
在犹太人为绊脚石,在外邦人为愚拙;
但在那蒙召的,无论是犹太人、希腊人,
基督总为 神的能力, 神的智慧。
(林前 1:24)

 
弟兄们,从前我到你们那里去,
并没有用高言大智对你们宣传 神的奥秘。
因为我曾定了主意,在你们中间不知道别的,
只知道耶稣基督并他钉十字架
(林前 2:1,2)

 

 

"End of the Beginning" by David Phelps: 

  
I was takin' a trip on a plane the other day
Just wishing that I could get out
When the man next to me saw the book in my hand
And asked me what it was about

So I settled back in my seat
"A best seller," I said
"A history and mystery in one"
And then I opened up the book and began to read
From Matthew, Mark, Luke and John

He was born of a Virgin one holy night
In the little town of Bethlehem
Angels gathered round Him underneath the stars
Singing praises to 'The Great I Am'

He walked on the water, healed the lame
And made the blind to see again
And for the first time here on earth
We learned that God could be a friend

And though He never ever did a single thing wrong
The angry crowd chose Him
And then He walked down the road and died on the cross
And that was the end of the beginning

"That's not a new book, that's a bible," he said
"And I've heard it all before, I've tried religion
It's shame and guilt and I don't need it anymore"

"It's superstition, made up tales
And just to help the weak to survive"
"Let me read it again," I said
"But listen closely, this is gonna change your life"

He was born of a Virgin one holy night
In the little town of Bethlehem
Angels gathered round Him underneath the stars
Singing praises to 'The Great I Am'

He walked on the water, healed the lame
 And made the blind to see again
And for the first time here on earth
We learned that God could be a friend

And though He never ever did a single thing wrong
The angry crowd chose Him
And then He walked down the road and died on the cross
And that was the end of the beginning

"The end of the beginning", he said with a smile
"What more could there be? He's dead
You said they hung him, put nails in His hands
And a crown of thorns on His head"

I said, "I'll read it again but this time there's more
And I believe that this is true
His death wasn't the end, the beginning of life
That's completed in you
Don't you see He did all this for you?"

He was born of a Virgin one holy night
In the little town of Bethlehem
All the angles singing praises to 'The Great I AM'

He walked on the water, healed the lame
And made the blind to see
And for the first time here on earth
And did you know that God could be a friend?

And though He never ever did a single thing wrong
He was the one the crowd chose
And then he walked and He died
But three days later, three days later
Three days later, He rose
Three days later, He rose

You see He came, He lived and He died
But that was the end of the beginning

无法忘记的爱 ... ...

若对人尚且可以如此,
何况是对主 ...


忘記他 等於忘掉了一切
等於將方和向拋掉
遺失了自己

忘記他 等於忘盡了歡喜
等於將心靈也鎖住
同苦痛一起

從來只有他
可以令我欣賞自己
更能讓我去用愛
將一切平凡事 變得美麗

忘記他 怎麼忘記得起
銘心刻骨來永久記住
從此永無盡期
... ...
