为婚宴做好准备 (王荣庆主席，华语事工) 研读: 马太福音 22:2-3, 8-13 2 “天国就像一个王为儿子筹备婚宴。 3 他派奴仆去请受邀的客人，可是客人都不肯赴宴。 8 “然后，他对奴仆说，‘婚宴已预备好了，只是被邀请的人不配。 9 所以你们到街头巷尾，把所有见到的人都请来。’ 10 奴仆到街上把遇到的人都请了来，好人坏人都有，大厅里满了客人。 11 “王出来会见在座的客人，发现有一个人没有穿礼服， 12 就问他，‘朋友，你来这里怎么不穿婚宴的礼服呢？’那人无言以对。 13 王便吩咐侍从，‘把他手脚绑起来丢到外面的黑暗里，让他在那里哀哭切齿。’” 观察: 上帝救赎和恢复世界的计划就像犹太人的 婚姻，有两个阶段： 订婚（基督的第一次降临） 婚礼（基督的第二次降临） 神是仁慈的，出於祂所预设的恩典，透过耶穌邀请每个人，猶太人和外邦人，富人和穷人，进入神的国度。 接受祂的邀请（称义的恩典）是参加婚礼的第一步，下一步是准备穿上耶稣为婚礼提供的婚纱（成圣的恩典）（启示录3：18）。如果不穿上婚纱，我们将被取消参加婚礼的资格。 应用: 我感谢耶稣在十字架上的救赎恩典。接受祂为我的主不是一次性的事件，我需要从一个信徒转向成为祂的好门徒，每天练习让圣灵充满，通过祂的复活能力为祂的荣耀而过战胜罪恶的生活。 行为: 藉着圣灵成圣的恩典，我每天都会刻意放下私慾的迷惑而渐渐败坏的旧人，穿上照着上帝形象所造的新人，满有从真理而来的公义与圣洁（以弗所书4：22-24） 祈祷: 慈爱的天父啊， 感谢祢赐予祢美妙而奇異的救赎恩典。 我每天愿意降服于祢的旨意，祈求祢教导我，带领我成为一个配得上祢呼召的好门徒，这样我就可以全心全意地爱祢，爱我的邻舍如我自己。奉耶稣基督的圣名求，阿们！
