與 路加福音 1:40 相關的免費讀經計畫與靈修短文

聖誕節是一個充滿著商業氣息的節日。購物與大餐、歡笑與消費，五彩紛呈的櫥窗、五花八門的娛樂，仿彿成了這個節日的主題。聖誕節，也在向我們發出這樣一個問題：我們到底想要什麼？是那轉瞬即逝的浮華與歡笑？還是一份真正的、從永恆而來的禮物？ 將臨期（Advent）是指「即將來臨」的意思，我們在這期間透過安靜預備自己，紀念耶穌基督兩千年前在伯利恆的馬槽降生，默想祂此刻在我們心中的同在，也企盼祂在末世的榮耀中再來。我們渴望上帝介入我們的生命，經歷光照與覺醒，在熟悉的事物中發現上帝同在的痕跡，經歷救贖的喜樂。 將臨期主題四：盼望之光——迎接主的來臨殷切地盼望主的再來 將臨期第四個主日，最後一根紫色蠟燭會被點燃，代表平安的意思。我們在等候中迎接主的來臨，這不僅包括紀念基督首次降臨，也包括盼望主的再來。在等候中，我們投入新的委身與使命，為上帝的國度而活。主再來的日子雖然未知，但願我們時刻預備自己，警醒不懈，因為祂必會如期而至。願這份殷勤的盼望，推動我們前進。 靈修閱讀計劃按照四個主題而編排： 啟示之光——醒悟與等候以迎接一個嶄新的開始 復甦之光——悔改與潔淨以選擇從罪惡歸回上帝 喜樂之光——重拾生命中的恩典並以耶和華為樂 盼望之光——迎接主的來臨殷切地盼望主的再來
