Forget about church, Youre not going! Lis mother insisted angrily.You need to concentrate on your education and forget all this talk about religion. Li hung her head sadly and fought back the tears. She knew there was no way she could make her mother understand that Jesus Christ was real, He wasnt just another religion.今天你别想去教会, 好好给我在家待著, 小丽的妈妈很生气地对她说：你要好好学习, 别一天到晚又教会, 又信教的。 小丽忍著眼泪, 低下头。她实在是没有办法让她妈妈知道耶稣是真的, 这并不是又一个什么宗教 Every day, all over the world, people are suffering and being ridiculed for their faith in the Lord Jesus. Suffering for what you believe in is called ?persecution. In our Bible time today, were going to learn about how to handle persecution. Aunt Dee is going to tell you the story, but Stephen will be your teacher. 在这个世界上, 每天都有很多人因为信耶稣而被人嘲笑, 甚至被迫害。因为你的信仰而受到逼迫叫迫害。我们今天的圣经故事就是要讲到受逼迫这件事。今天的圣经人物叫司提反。 Forty days after the Lord Jesus had died on the cross for our sins, was buried, and rose again, He went back to Heaven. Jesus promised before He left that He would send the Holy Spirit to help believers. Ten days after the Lord Jesus went to Heaven, on the day of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit came down and filled the apostle Peter and the other believers with great power. In that power, Peter preached to thousands of Jews who had gathered in the streets of Jerusalem. The same Holy Spirit that empowered Peter to preach with such boldness also convicted the unbelievers of their sin and their need of Jesus. That day 3, 000 people turned from their sin, believing on the Lord Jesus. Stephen was most likely one of the 3, 000 saved that day. |
