当听到坏消息,你会作何回应?如果这个坏消息变为好消息呢?
When faced with bad news, how do you respond? What if the bad news turned into good news?
At Christmas time, the story of Mary and Joseph and baby Jesus has become quite romantic. Beautiful paintings of the holy family, the star, the angels and shepherds. It is a beautiful scene in our minds. But this story is actually a hard story that disrupted a young couple’s love story. Imagine a couple planning their wedding celebration and thinking optimistically of the future together. But then God’s plan crosses their plan. Their wedding plans are canceled. The man considers divorce.
圣诞节期间,马利亚、约瑟、婴孩儿耶稣的故事变得十分浪漫,有许多描绘着这神圣一家、星星、天使和牧羊人的美丽画像。在我们脑海里是一副美丽的画面,但这其实是个艰难的故事,它打乱了一对年轻恋人的爱情故事。想象一下一对恋人正在为婚礼的庆典做预备,一起憧憬美好的未来。但此时神的计划与他们的计划冲突,他们婚礼的计划取消了,这个男人甚至在考虑分开。
Christmas is a dreamy time of the year when we love to make Christmas wishes and hope for that special Christmas present we’ve been waiting for. But what if you don’t get your Christmas wish? What if there is no present for you under the Christmas tree? Can it still be a Merry Christmas?
圣诞节是一年中最梦幻的日子,我们喜欢许下圣诞愿望,盼望着期待已久的特别圣诞礼物。但是如果你的圣诞愿望尚未实现,如果圣诞树下没有送给你的礼物该怎么办?还能称之为快乐的圣诞节吗?
如果将你的人生计划降服在神的宏伟计划中,就会有奇妙的事情发生。
在圣诞期间我们都喜欢看这些可爱的画面:歌唱的美丽天使,粗犷的牧羊人,慷慨大方的博士和一位美丽的母亲、父亲和圣婴。这幅画非常宁静,美丽,充满田园风光。但是为了在荣耀的降生场景中获得一个梦寐以求的角色,每个人物都必须做出牺牲。当我们仔细看这个圣诞故事时,会发现故事情节并非如此的平静祥和。它充满了不确定性、失望、震惊,最终是降服。
When your life plan is surrendered to God’s epic plan, amazing things happen.
During the Christmas season we love to gaze at the lovely images of beautiful singing angels, rugged shepherds, lavish wisemen and a beautiful mother, father and holy child. The picture is very peaceful, beautiful and idyllic. But in order to gain a coveted role in the glorious nativity scene, each one of these characters had to make a sacrifice. When we take a closer look at the Christmas story, we see that the storyline is anything but peaceful and serene. It is full of uncertainty, disappointment, shock and ultimately: surrender.
