啟示錄一章4-7節
神的小僕人
 
經文:
4 約翰寫信給亞西亞的七個教會。但願從那昔在、今在、以後永在的神,和他寶座前的七靈,
5 並那誠實作見證的,從死裡首先復活,為世上君王元首的耶穌基督,有恩惠平安歸與你們。他愛我們,用自己的血使我們脫離罪惡,〔脫離有古卷作洗去〕
6 又使我們成為國民,作他父神的祭司,但願榮耀權能歸給他,直到永永遠遠。阿們。
7 看哪,他駕雲降臨,眾目要看見他,連刺他的人也要看見他,地上的萬族都要因他哀哭。這話是真實的。阿們。
 
使徒約翰在最後的訊息啓示錄告訴我們,主耶穌必定再次回來,叫我們這群信靠祂的天國的子民,可以見證祂榮耀的返回。我們可以服事神,作美好的見證,全是因著祂的恩典。
 
世間有不同的困難,我們的眼睛若只看見困難,看不見上帝的恩手及祂的作為和拯救,我們心中便失落困頓。反之,仰望基督的全然拯救,世界的歷史和終局都在祂手裏,我們就可以放心向前行。
 
Revelation 1: 4 - 7
 
Apostle John in his final words encouraged us by reiterating the saving grace of Christ.  He is coming back one day and we will all witness His glorious return.  We are the people of His kingdom and we are to witness Him and serve His people.  It is all about grace.
 
We can see that the world is groaning and people are in pain.  Yet history and the end are in the hands of our Mighty and Glorious God.  Don’t be saddened but take heart, move forward with our upward longing for Christ.
