道成肉身为我们指明道路 大斋期 2025 | 第一天: 圣灰星期三 约翰福音 1:1-18 (Alvin Chia, 平信徒领袖) 在这段经文中，我们读到主耶稣从起初就与神同在。万物都是藉着祂创造的。在祂里面有生命，而这生命就是全人类的光。光照在黑暗里，黑暗却无法胜过光。 第14节的关键信息为我们基督徒提供了宝贵的希望，让我们在这个充满黑暗和堕落的世界中，过有意义的生活。“道成肉身，住在我们中间。”简单来说，我们全能的天父通过成为人类，来向我们伸出援手。这个简单的信息告诉我们，荣耀的神以一个脆弱的婴儿、一个贫穷的木匠和一个洗脚的仆人身份出现在我们中间，向人们展示怜悯和爱，并向我们保证祂明白我们所经历的一切。 这段经文还确认了祂降临到我们当中，向我们伸出援手，赋予我们成为神儿女的权利。更令人惊讶的是，我们的主耶稣基督来代替我们受死，以拯救我们免于定罪。约翰福音3:16，“神爱世人，甚至将祂的独生子赐给他们，叫一切信祂的，不至灭亡，反得永生。” 这超乎人类所能理解，显示出祂极其宽广和深厚的爱，拯救并恢复我们与祂的关系。何等奇妙的爱！ 在这个圣灰星期三，我们被提醒神的牺牲之爱。单凭我们自己，永远无法战胜并偿还我们生命中的罪。主耶稣已经来代替我们，为我们赎罪。正因为神的恩典，我们才能与祂和好。当大斋期即将来临之际，愿我们怀着真正的悔改，接受神的恩典，让祂的光照亮我们生命中的黑暗，并全心全意跟随祂的教导和道路。 祂已经通过经历人类的苦难，忍受背叛、拒绝和迫害的痛苦，向我们指明了道路。我感到鼓舞，因为我们有一位真正理解我们人类痛苦与挣扎的神。我将继续把目光定睛在祂身上，凡事信靠并顺服祂。作为祂牺牲之爱的受益者，我也将见证祂的怜悯与恩典，好让他人也能认识并经历祂的爱。 亲爱的主，谢谢祢的爱和怜悯。我为多次辜负祢而忏悔。愿祢赐给我力量和纪律，让我能够将生活中各方面的主权交给祢，顺服于祢，活出荣耀祢的生命。奉耶稣的名祷告，阿门。 反思问题: 1.   神降临到人间，与人共处，这对你有什么鼓励？ 2.  在这个大斋期，你生活中有哪些方面在挣扎？你准备好将它们交托给神了吗？  3.   作为基督徒，你是否勇敢为神作见证？如果没有，为什么？你将如何挑战自己，勇敢地向周围需要听见好消息的人分享你的信仰？
