希伯來書11章13-16節
神的小僕人
經文:
13 這些人都是存著信心死的,並沒有得著所應許的;卻從遠處望見,
14 說這樣話的人,是表明自己要找一個家鄉。
15 他們若想念所離開的家鄉,還有可以回去的機會。
16 他們卻羨慕一個更美的家鄉,就是在天上的。
人的盼望到底在哪裏呢?大部份的人都在盼望世上的事,
這不是說我們就輕看這個世界,神讓我們在世上活着,
禱告:
天父,我們在世上是客旅,是寄居的,最終的盼望在於祢,
Hebrew 11:13-16
What is our ultimate hope? Many people are aspiring to have a good family, to have children and to have a good career. They are all admirable, yet they are transient and temporary. The Bible reminds us that our ultimate home is our heavenly place where God is with us and it is eternal.
It is not to say we will take the worldly life lightly. God wants us to enjoy what He has given us, but at the same time to work hard for His kingdom. How we have a balance view is important. We should live a good life while working hard for for the kingdom of God, serving Him.
God is our ultimate hope and He prepares a better home for us, yet today we should live according to His will and be good.
