路加福音Luke 2:1-52
在至高之處榮耀歸與神！在地上平安喜悅歸與人！
耶穌基督降生的大喜信息，是關乎萬民的。二千年前，以色列人期待了七百年上帝所應許的救主，乃是萬國萬民的救主，是照亮外邦人的光，使人出黑暗、入光明。
耶穌出生在伯利恆客店的馬槽，成長在拿撒勒木匠的家。馬利亞和約瑟在耶穌出生卅三天後，到聖殿把他獻與主，並且克盡養育教導的責任。年僅十二歲的耶穌，在聖殿裡坐在聖經教師中間，三天的時間與他們有問有答。凡聽見他的，都希奇他的聰明和他的應對。
作父母的應當負起養育兒女的責任，不要輕看了孩子的靈命與智慧。現代的父母親，看重的是世人所喜愛的知識、才能，用以培養子女；卻輕看了上帝所喜愛的敬虔靈命，任憑子女遠離上帝。
我們既然都是蒙恩得救的基督徒，都渴慕主的道，敬虔愛主，也當以主的道教養子女敬虔愛主，使他們的智慧和年紀，並神和人喜愛他們的心，都一齊增長。願共勉之。

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests.
The good news of great joy of the birth of Jesus Christ that will be for all the people. 2000 years ago, the Israelites looked forward to the God’s promised Savior had been 700 years, He is the savior of all the nations and the light for revelation to the Gentiles, and makes man out of darkness into his wonderful light.
Jesus was born in the manger of the Bethlehem Inn and grew up at the home of the carpenter in Nazareth. After 33 days Jesus was born, Joseph and Mary took him to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord. They do the duty of nurturing and teaching. When Jesus was twelve years old, stay in the temple courts for three days, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. Everyone who heard him was amazed at his understanding and his answers. Parents should bear the responsibility of raising their children, do not despise the child’s spiritual life and wisdom.
Nowadays parents value the knowledge and talents that the world loves, are used to cultivate their children, but despise the godliness life that God pleases, and let their children away from God. Since we are re-born Christians, we thirsty for the word of the Lord, love Lord with godly heart, then we shall teach children with God’s word to love God. Help them grow in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men. Encourage each other.

今天读的是路加福音第二章。恰逢圣诞季，读到耶稣降生的经文别有一番感触。
1节到20节耶稣的降生是平凡的，他的父母像其他人一样去报名登记，他也平凡的甚至卑微还不如普通人的生在了马槽中。但也是不平凡的。他出生的时候有天使天军赞美歌唱，有从远方来的牧羊人得了主的指示赶来看这位弥赛亚。就像耶稣的神人二性一样，他既是有血有肉的人又是无所不能的神。
25节开始讲到了一个又公义又虔诚的人，名叫西面。真的是很蒙福的一个人。能亲眼见到而且清楚知道耶稣就是弥赛亚。若有一天我的亲人们都能认识真道，我也会感叹一声：主啊，感谢你，仆人可以安然去世了。不过那之前我要先做到像西面一样虔诚，先增长自己的灵命才能去像别人传扬真道啊！
最后感谢天父，赐给我们耶稣基督来拯救我们，阿门。 —- 伊珊(Isa)
诗篇 1:1 不从恶人的计谋，不站罪人的道路，不坐亵慢人的座位。正如我们被教的，近墨者黑，近朱者赤。神的儿女享有神的应许， 诗篇 1:3 他要像一棵树栽在溪水旁，按时候结果子，叶子也不枯干。凡他所作的，尽都顺利。愿我们一起走神的道。阿们！ —- 海約
