12/07 聖誕的祝福!
- 通往聖誕之路,要穿過一道古老的門,一道小小的門,像嬰孩的高度與寬度,通關密語是:「平安歸於世上祂所喜悅的人。」但願今年的聖誕節,您回轉變成一個小孩,好進入祂的國度。
The way to Christmas lies through an ancient gate....It is a little gate, child-high, child-wide, and there is a password: "Peace on earth to men of good will." May you, this Christmas, become as a little child again and enter into His kingdom.(Angelo Patri義大利裔美國作家與教育家) - 你會收到的最偉大禮物,不會出現在聖誕樹底下;它太貴重,不能儲存在別的地方,只能存在你心深處。
The greatest gift you will ever receive will never be found under a Christmas tree. It is far too valuable to be stored in any other place but in the depths of your heart. - 在聖誕節期,當我們慶祝神與祂子民的新關係時,讓它也返照出我們與人的關係,促使我們更新我們與配偶、孩子、家庭成員、我們所親愛的人以及那些靠近我們的人之關係。讓我們在忙碌於節慶的活動與採買中,彼此說柔和的話,使聖誕節成為基督真實臨到的日子。
During this Advent season as we celebrate the new relationship between God and his people, may that be mirrored in our renewed relationships with spouses, children, family and those near and dear to us. May we speak tenderly to each other amidst all the rush of the season and transform the shopping days till Christmas into the true Advent of Christ.(Casely Essamuah, Park Street Church) - 當基督進入我們的世界時,祂不是要照亮我們的12月,乃是要改變我們的生命。
When Christ entered our world, he didn't come to brighten our Decembers, but to transform our lives.(Rich Miller)
