John 17

约翰福音17

LIVING LIGHTS

生命之光

Jesus is our great intercessor, he sits at the right hand of the Father, praying for us day and night. He knows our every and deepest needs and prays for them.. isn’t that amazing and wonderful?

耶稣是我们伟大的代祷者，他坐在天父的右边，日夜为我们祷告。他知道我们每一个最深切的需要，并为他们祈祷..是不是很神奇很奇妙？

Here he prays for the believers who will come after the apostles… that’s you and me folks!

在这里，他为跟随使徒而来的信徒祈祷..这是你和我

Some of us, me included at times want to go and live on a desert island or as a hermit, but we can’t, we have to live in the real world, we have to go to work, we have to interact with the majority of people, who don’t love the Saviour like we do and we have to live in a world that is filled with evil.

我们中的一些人，包括我，有时想去荒岛上生活或做一个隐士，但我们不能，我们必须生活在现实世界中，我们必须去工作，我们必须与大多数人互动，他们不像我们那样爱救世主，我们必须生活在一个充满邪恶的世界里。

Jesus doesn’t pray that we would be taken out of the world, but that we would live in the world and shine as living lights.

耶稣并不祈祷我们会被带离这个世界，而是祈祷我们会活在这个世界上，像生命之光一样闪耀。

My friends, we are the lights who light up this dark world, we have the bright light of Jesus living inside of us.

我的朋友们，我们是照亮这个黑暗世界的光，我们有耶稣的亮光住在我们里面。

Jesus says in the sermon on the mount, these words in Matthew Chapter 5

耶稣在登山宝训中说，这些话在马太福音第五章

14 You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.

你们是世上的光。城造在山上，是不能隐藏的。 (马太福音 5:14 和合本)

15 Nor do men light a lamp and put it under a peck measure, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house.
人点灯，不放在斗底下，是放在灯台上，就照亮一家的人。 (马太福音 5:15 和合本)

16 Let your light so shine before men that they may see your [z]moral excellence and your praiseworthy, noble, and good deeds and [aa]recognizeand honor and praise and glorify your Father Who is in heaven.

你们的光也当这样照在人前，叫他们看见你们的好行为，便将荣耀归给你们在天上的父。” (马太福音 5:16 和合本)

We are to let Christ live in us through the Holy Spirit, so that people can see it. To do this, we must allow Jesus to be Lord of our lives, we need to be connected to the vine of Jesus, as we are the branches John 15. We must let God’s word dwell in us richly Colossians 3:16 and we must pray always 1 Thess 5:18-20

我们要让基督借着圣灵住在我们里面，这样人们才能看见。要做到这一点，我们必须让耶稣成为我们生命的主，我们需要与耶稣的葡萄树相连，因为我们是枝子约翰福音15。我们必须让神的话丰富地住在我们里面(歌罗西书3:16)，我们必须常常祷告(帖前5:18-20)

Let us shine our lights brightly, so we can light up this world and expose all the badness and evil in it, instead of being overcome by it Ephesians 5:8-13

让我们发出明亮的光，这样我们就可以照亮这个世界，揭露其中所有的坏和邪恶，而不是被它征服(以弗所书5:8-13)

God bless you

上帝祝福你
