以馬內利主日:耶穌復活之後

4月27日,以馬內利教會也迎來復活節後的首個主日,宣教士從約翰福音二十一章,以「耶穌復活之後」為題,引領會眾省思主耶穌在復活後如何就近門徒們,渴望在屬靈上復興他們,繼而激勵會眾更深的見面復活的主,並在與主真實的愛的交流中回應主的呼召和托負。宣教士自身也祈盼能夠在五旬節當中更深的在真理和靈性上扎根和提升。

宣教士先是提出一個疑問:為什麼復活的主復活後,門徒卻認不出祂來?「在我們信主的路上,也會同樣發生過這樣的事情,」他補充道。因此,反覆研讀聖經很重要,以免重蹈覆轍。

在信仰的任何境遇中,尤其是在困境中,「我們必須知道復活的主一直與我們同在,祂願意用祂的愛引導我們走向正確的方向。當我們以順服回應時,我們必定會經歷神更大的作為,就像門徒捕到153條魚一樣,」宣教士說。

「所以,我們不必陷入軟弱,而是要尋求主,這樣,當我們真正遇見復活的主時,我們的心就能得以復興,」他補充道。

Immanuel Sunday: After the Resurrection of Jesus

On April 27, the first Sunday after Easter at Immanuel Church, missionary started from meditating John 21, encouraging congregants to meet the risen Lord more deeply, and respond to His call in a close relationship of love with the Lord.

Missionary firstly raised a question of why disciples’ eyes were kept from recognizing risen Lord after His resurrection, and “it also did happen among us in the path of faith, he added. So that, it is important to study the Word again and again in case of falling back into their old ways.

In every circumstance of faith, especially in the hardship, “we have to know the risen Lord is always with us, and He would like to guide us to the right direction with His love, as we respond with obedience then we will surely experience greater work of God just like disciples did catch 153 fishes,” missionary continued.

“It is not necessary to fall into our weaknesses, but instead to seek for the Lord, then once we truly meet the risen Lord, our hearts are able to be revived,” he added.
