0609 耶稣是长久忍耐

“基督耶稣降世,为要拯救罪人。”……在罪人中我是个罪魁。然而,我蒙了怜悯,是因耶稣基督要在我这罪魁身上显明祂一切的忍耐,给后来信祂得永生的人作榜样。 

提摩太前书 1:15b-16 

祂对罪人是有怜悯和忍耐的;祂要我们像祂。耶稣说……

这世界的苦难还不够多吗?我呼召你以如此的方式进入世界的痛苦和哀伤里:以你的同在散发出非常刚强/坚韧但喜乐的忍耐,痛苦和哀伤就会变成我爱的池子里的清洁剂……

0609 JESUS is LONGSUFFERING

He is merciful and patient with sinners; He wants us to be like Him.  JESUS says… Isn’t there enough suffering in the world?  I call you to step into the pain and grief of the world in such a way that your presence radiates very tough yet joyous endurance.  Pain and grief then become cleansing agents in the pool of My love…

“Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.  Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.”

1 Timothy 1:15b-16 KJV
