Thankful

感恩

(1 Thessalonians 5:16-18)

Rejoice always, (17) pray continually, (18) give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

帖撒羅尼迦前書 5:16-18 CCB

常常喜樂， (17) 不斷地禱告， (18) 凡事謝恩，因為這是上帝在基督耶穌裡給你們的旨意。

God’s will: to be thankful!

神的旨意: 感恩!

(Luke 17:11-19) Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee.

(12) As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy met him. They stood at a distance (13) and called out in a loud voice,“Jesus, Master, have pity on us!”

(14) When he saw them, he said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were cleansed.

(15) One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice.

(16) He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan. (17) Jesus asked, “Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? (18) Has no one returned to give praise to God except this foreigner?”

(19) Then he said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well.”

路加福音 17:11-19 CCB

(11)耶穌繼續前往耶路撒冷，途經撒瑪利亞和加利利的交界處。

(12) 祂進入一個村莊時，十個痲瘋病人迎面而來。他們遠遠地站著， (13) 高聲呼喊道：「耶穌，老師啊，求你可憐我們吧！」

(14) 耶穌看見他們，就說：「去讓祭司察看你們的身體。」他們去的時候，就潔淨了。

(15) 其中一個發現自己痊癒了，就跑回來，高聲讚美上帝，

(16) 又俯伏在耶穌的腳前連連稱謝。這人是撒瑪利亞人。(17) 耶穌說：「被醫好的不是有十個人嗎？其他九個呢？ (18) 回來讚美稱頌上帝的只有這個外族人嗎？」

(19) 於是祂對那人說：「起來回去吧！你的信心救了你。」

Thankfulness leads to more miracles

感恩會帶來更多的神蹟

I want to be the thankful one

The hope of a special little baby

一個特別小嬰孩的盼望

Isaiah 9:6-7 ERV

[6] This will happen when the special child is born. God will give us a son who will be responsible for leading the people. His name will be "Wonderful Counselor, Powerful God, Father Who Lives Forever, Prince of Peace." [7] His power will continue to grow, and there will be peace without end. This will establish him as the king sitting on David's throne and ruling his kingdom. He will rule with goodness and justice forever and ever. The strong love that the LORD All-Powerful has for his people will make this happen!

以賽亞書 9章6-7節 CUV

6 因 有 一 嬰 孩 為 我 們 而 生 ； 有 一 子 賜 給 我 們 。 政 權 必 擔 在 他 的 肩 頭 上 ； 他 名 稱 為 奇 妙 策 士 、 全 能 的 神 、 永 在 的 父 、 和 平 的 君 。7 他 的 政 權 與 平 安 必 加 增 無 窮 。 他 必 在 大 衛 的 寶 座 上 治 理 他 的 國 ， 以 公 平 公 義 使 國 堅 定 穩 固 ， 從 今 直 到 永 遠 。 萬 軍 之 耶 和 華 的 熱 心 必 成 就 這 事 。

1 - Our hope is in His grace

我們的盼望在衪的恩典裡

Titus 3:3-7 NIV

[3] At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. [4] But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, [5] he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, [6] whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, [7] so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life.

提多書 3章3 -7節 CUV

3 我 們 從 前 也 是 無 知 、 悖 逆 、 受 迷 惑 、 服 事 各 樣 私 慾 ， 和 宴 樂 ， 常 存 惡 毒 嫉 妒 的 心 ， 是 可 恨 的 ， 又 是 彼 此 相 恨 。4 但 到 了 神 ─ 我 們 救 主 的 恩 慈 和 他 向 人 所 施 的 慈 愛 顯 明 的 時 候 ，5 他 便 救 了 我 們 ； 並 不 是 因 我 們 自 己 所 行 的 義 ， 乃 是 照 他 的 憐 憫 ， 藉 著 重 生 的 洗 和 聖 靈 的 更 新 。6 聖 靈 就 是 神 藉 著 耶 穌 基 督 我 們 救 主 厚 厚 澆 灌 在 我 們 身 上 的 ，7 好 叫 我 們 因 他 的 恩 得 稱 為 義 ， 可 以 憑 著 永 生 的 盼 望 成 為 後 嗣 。 （ 或 作 ： 可 以 憑 著 盼 望 承 受 永 生 ） 。

2 - Our hope in Him energises us

在祂的盼望裡帶給我們力量

1 Peter 1:3 TPT

[3] Celebrate with praises the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has shown us his extravagant mercy. For his fountain of mercy has given us a new life-we are reborn to experience a living, energetic hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.

彼得前書 1章3節 CUV

願 頌 讚 歸 與 我 們 主 耶 穌 基 督 的 父 神 ！ 他 曾 照 自 己 的 大 憐 憫 ， 藉 耶 穌 基 督 從 死 裡 復 活 ， 重 生 了 我 們 ， 叫 我 們 有 活 潑 的 盼 望

Proverbs 10:28 ESV

[28] The hope of the righteous brings joy, but the expectation of the wicked will perish.

箴言 10章28節 CUV

義 人 的 盼 望 必 得 喜 樂 ； 惡 人 的 指 望 必 致 滅 沒 。

The simple faith of Mary and Joseph

馬利亞和約瑟單純的信心

Luke 1:28-35,38 NLT

[28] Gabriel appeared to her and said, "Greetings, favored woman! The Lord is with you!" [29] Confused and disturbed, Mary tried to think what the angel could mean. [30] "Don't be afraid, Mary," the angel told her, "for you have found favor with God! [31] You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you will name him Jesus. [32] He will be very great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his ancestor David. [33] And he will reign over Israel forever; his Kingdom will never end!" [34] Mary asked the angel, "But how can this happen? I am a virgin." [35] The angel replied, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the baby to be born will be holy, and he will be called the Son of God. [38] Mary responded, "I am the Lord's servant. May everything you have said about me come true." And then the angel left her.

For the child within her was conceived by the Holy Spirit. [21] And she will have a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins."

The fearful king and the seeking wise men

驚慌的國王與尋求的智者

Matthew 2:1-3 ERV

[1] Jesus was born in the town of Bethlehem in Judea during the time when Herod was king. After Jesus was born, some wise men from the east came to Jerusalem. [2] They asked people, "Where is the child who has been born to be the king of the Jews? We saw the star that shows he was born. We saw it rise in the sky in the east and have come to worship him." [3] When King Herod heard about this, it upset him as well as everyone else in Jerusalem.

馬太福音 2:1-3 CCB

希律王執政期間，耶穌降生在猶太的伯利恆城。當時有幾位智者從東方來到耶路撒冷， (2)問道：「那生來做猶太人之王的在哪裡呢？我們在東方看見祂的星，特來朝拜祂。」(3) 希律王聽後，心裡不安，全城的人都感到不安。

1 - 2 very different responses to the savior

1 - 兩個對救世主不同的回應

Matthew 2:4-9 ERV

[4] Herod called a meeting of all the leading Jewish priests and teachers of the law. He asked them where the Messiah would be born. [5] They answered, "In the town of Bethlehem in Judea, just as the prophet wrote: [6] 'Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, you are important among the rulers of Judah. Yes, a ruler will come from you, and that ruler will lead Israel, my people.'" [7] Then Herod had a private meeting with the wise men from the east. He learned from them the exact time they first saw the star. [8] Then he sent them to Bethlehem. He said, "Go and look carefully for the child. When you find him, come tell me. Then I can go worship him too." [9] After the wise men heard the king, they left. They saw the same star they had seen in the east, and they followed it.

馬太福音 2:4-9 CCB

希律王就召來祭司長和律法教師，問他們：「基督在哪裡降生呢？」(5)他們回答說：「在猶太的伯利恆，因為先知這樣記載，(6) 『猶大地區的伯利恆啊！你在猶大各城中並不是最小的，因為有一位君王要從你那裡出來，牧養我的以色列子民。』(7) 於是，希律暗中召見那幾位智者，仔細查問那星出現的準確時間， (8) 然後派他們去伯利恆，並吩咐道：「你們去仔細尋訪那個小孩，找到了，就回來報信，我也好去朝拜祂。」(9) 他們聽了王的吩咐，就去了。忽然，那顆曾在東方出現的星又出現在他們前面，引領他們來到小孩耶穌所在的地方，便停下來。

2 - The king’s fear made him control everything, while the wise men came ready to give

2 - 國王的驚慌令到他控制所有東西，但智者準備好去奉獻

Matthew 2:9-12 ERV

The star went before them until it stopped above the place where the child was. [10] They were very happy and excited to see the star. [11] The wise men came to the house where the child was with his mother Mary. They bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened the boxes of gifts they had brought for him. They gave him treasures of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. [12] But God warned the wise men in a dream not to go back to Herod. So they went home to their own country a different way.

馬太福音 2:9-12 CCB

他們聽了王的吩咐，就去了。忽然，那顆曾在東方出現的星又出現在他們前面，引領他們來到小孩耶穌所在的地方，便停下來。 (10) 他們看見那顆星，喜出望外。 (11) 他們進了屋子，看見孩子和祂母親瑪麗亞，就俯伏在地上拜祂，並打開盛寶物的盒子獻上黃金、乳香和沒藥作禮物。 (12) 他們在夢中得到指示不可回希律那裡，便改道返回了家鄉。

3 - Ultimately fear robs Herod from meeting the savior but the wise men encounter Jesus face to face

3- 極度的驚慌感劫走希律王與救世主見面，但智者親自面見耶穌

Isaiah 9:6 ERV

This will happen when the special child is born. God will give us a son who will be responsible for leading the people. His name will be "Wonderful Counselor, Powerful God, Father Who Lives Forever, Prince of Peace."

以賽亞書 9:6 CCB

必有一個嬰兒為我們誕生，有一個孩子要賜給我們。祂必統治我們，祂被稱為奇妙的策士、全能的上帝、永存的父、和平的君。

Hebrews 11:6 ERV

Without faith no one can please God. Whoever comes to God must believe that he is real and that he rewards those who sincerely try to find him.

希伯來書 11:6 CCB

沒有信心的人不能得到上帝的喜悅，因為來到上帝面前的人必須相信上帝存在，並相信祂會賞賜一切尋求祂的人。

[20] So there are many parts, but only one body.

哥林多前書 12:18-20 CCB

(8)這人從聖靈領受智言，那人從聖靈領受知識；(18) 但事實上，上帝按自己的旨意將各個肢體安置在身體上了。 (19) 如果全身只有一個肢體，還會是身體嗎？ (20) 如今肢體雖多，但身體只有一個。

"Finding" the blessing in the year of drought

在乾旱之年「尋找」祝福

(Genesis 26:12 ASV) And Isaac sowed in that land, and found in the same year a hundredfold: and Jehovah blessed him.

創世記 26:12 CCB

以撒在那裡耕種，耶和華賜福給他，那一年他得了百倍的收成。

1. Don’t go to Egypt in the famine!

1. 在饑荒當不要到埃及

(Genesis 26:1-2 NIV) Now there was a famine in the land—besides the previous famine in Abraham’s time—and Isaac went to Abimelek king of the Philistines in Gerar. 2 The Lord appeared to Isaac and said, “Do not go down to Egypt; live in the land where I tell you to live.

創世記 26:1-2 CCB

亞伯拉罕在世的時候，那地方鬧過一次饑荒，這時又鬧饑荒。以撒就遷到基拉耳的非利士王亞比米勒那裡。 (2) 耶和華向以撒顯現說：「不要下埃及去，要住在我指示你住的地方。

2. Stay in the will and purposes of God

2. 留在神的旨意和目的當中

(Genesis 26:3-6 NIV) Stay in this land for a while, and I will be with you and will bless you. For to you and your descendants I will give all these lands and will confirm the oath I swore to your father Abraham. (4) I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and will give them all these lands, and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed, (5) because Abraham obeyed me and did everything I required of him, keeping my commands, my decrees and my instructions.” (6) So Isaac stayed in Gerar.

創世記 26:3-6 CCB

你寄居在這裡，我必與你同在，賜福給你，因為我必把這些土地賜給你和你的後代，堅立我對你父親亞伯拉罕的誓約。 (4) 我必使你的後代多如繁星，將這些土地都賜給他們，天下萬國必因你的後裔而蒙福。 (5) 因為亞伯拉罕聽從我的話，遵守我的吩咐、命令、典章和律法。」(6) 於是，以撒就在基拉耳住下來。

(Genesis 26:20-22 NIV) But the herders of Gerar quarreled with those of Isaac and said, “The water is ours!” So he named the well Esek, because they disputed with him. (21) Then they dug another well, but they quarreled over that one also; so he named it Sitnah. (22) He moved on from there and dug another well, and no one quarreled over it. He named it Rehoboth, saying, “Now the Lord has given us room and we will flourish in the land.”

創世記cc 26:20-22 CCB

基拉耳的牧人與以撒的牧人爭吵起來，都說：「這口井是我們的。」於是，以撒便稱那口井為埃色[。 (21) 後來，以撒的僕人又挖了一口井，他們雙方又為那口井發生爭執，以撒便稱那口井為西提拿。 (22) 以撒離開那裡，又挖了一口水井。這次，他們沒有為那口井爭吵。所以，以撒稱那口井為利河伯。以撒說：「如今耶和華給了我們一個寬闊的地方，我們可以在這裡繁榮興旺。」

So the father raced out to meet him. He swept him up in his arms, hugged him dearly, and kissed him over and over with tender love. [21] "Then the son said, 'Father, I was wrong. I have sinned against you. I could never deserve to be called your son. Just let me be-' "The father interrupted and said, 'Son, you're home now!' [22] "Turning to his servants, the father said, 'Quick, bring me the best robe, my very own robe, and I will place it on his shoulders. Bring the ring, the seal of sonship, and I will put it on his finger. And bring out the best shoes you can find for my son. [23] Let's prepare a great feast and celebrate. [24] For this beloved son of mine was once dead, but now he's alive again. Once he was lost, but now he is found!' And everyone celebrated with overflowing joy.
