聆聽上帝每日的呼召


Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling, calling for you and for me.
See, on the portals He is waiting and watching, watching for you and for me.

(副歌)Come home, come home, you who are weary, come home.
Earnestly tenderly Jesus is calling, O Sinner, come home!

Why should we tarry when Jesus is pleading, pleading for you and for me?
Why should we linger and heed not his mercies, mercies for you and for me?(副歌)

O for the wonderful love He has promised, promised for you and for me!
though we have sinned, He has mercy and pardon, pardon for you and for me.(副歌)

我現在參加一個長老會的主日崇拜,他們專唱古老的傳統詩歌,上面這首就是今天的回應,我覺得深受感動。牧師的信息是關於每天聆聽上帝的呼召,經文是撒母耳記上三章,撒母耳聽見主的呼唤和聖言,以及路加福音十章,耶穌差遣70門徒出去傳福音那段,一篇滿不錯的講道。

牧師並沒有避開關於經文的一些難題。他告訴大家有的古抄本寫的是72門徒受差遣,我們現在搞不清到底是70位還是72位,還要大家琢磨那些門徒都是誰。他們中間大多不在12門徒之內,是無名的,至少福音書作者沒有想為他們留名。

對我來說,我自己,還有很多愛主的弟兄姐妹,都相當於其中的一位。Bob牧師說,主耶穌天天呼召我們去,作轉變世界的工作,讓世界知道上帝的愛,回到祂面前!
