What should I do? Johnny asked himself as he stared down at his lunch plate. Johnny had received Jesus as his Savior, and he wanted to be a good example to his friends, but sometimes it was so hard! Like yesterday in the lunchroom at school. Johnny had bowed his head and prayed, thanking God for his food. But as he did, he heard some of the other boys laughing at him. Johnny wanted to please God, but he didnt like being laughed at. 我该怎么办呢?小约翰低下头看著他的午餐, 心里琢著。小约翰已经接受了主耶稣做他的救主, 他很希望在同学, 朋友面前为神做一个好的见证。可是, 这并不是一件容易的事。就象昨天在学校的饭堂, 小约翰吃饭之前先低头祷告, 感谢赐给他的食物。可是他听见有人在背后偷偷笑他。小约翰很想做一个讨神喜悦的孩子, 可是他不愿意被别人嘲笑。 What should he do?As Gods children we should always do whats right. But like Johnny, who was laughed at, sometimes Gods children suffer for doing whats right. Suffering for what you believe in is called persecution. We need special power to do whats right when others persecute us. And our Bible verse from Philippians 4:13 tells us the source of that power:I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me. 他该怎么办呢?作为神的孩子, 我们行事为人要讨神的喜悦。可有时, 因为我们坚持对的事, 就会让我们遇到困难, 就象小约翰。当我们因著坚持我们的信仰而遇到困难, 这就叫逼迫。当有人逼迫我们的时候, 我们实在需要神来帮助我们。圣经在腓利比书4章13节告诉我们这力量的源泉在哪里:我靠著那加给我力量的, 凡事都能作。 是的, 加给我们力量的就是耶稣, 我们的主。 |
