與 路加福音 1:50 相關的免費讀經計畫與靈修短文

如何在聖誕節之外的生活中仍然經歷以馬內利──神同在？在這個為期三天的計劃中，你將從聖誕故事裡發現一個真理，它對你的影響將超越一年一度的聖誕歡慶。

The Christmas story is the story of how God intervened in history through the birth of Jesus. The lives of Mary, Joseph, and the shepherds were utterly changed by this event. They found hope, love, peace, and joy; join the team from Vertical Worship as we remember together how, through Jesus, we can find these too. 

Every good story has a plot twist—an unexpected moment that changes everything. One of the biggest plot twists in the Bible is the Christmas story. Over the next five days, we’ll explore how this one event changed the world and how it can change your life today.

Our Christmas story starts with the angel’s annunciation to Mary and concludes with the visit of the Magi. In these reflections and applications of the Christmas narrative I will mostly refer to Luke, as his is the fullest of the gospel accounts.

The Christmas story is one surprise after another. But sometimes the details become so familiar that they lose their impact. These short prayer devotionals help you to dwell deeply on the most unexpected and significant event in history: that God himself became one of us. Each prayer is written by David Mathis, executive editor for desiringGod.org and pastor at Cities Church in Saint Paul, Minnesota.

In Charles Wesley’s famous Christmas hymn, “Come, Thou Long Expected Jesus,” we sing that Jesus is the joy of every longing heart. This Advent, discover how the divine orchestration of human events and various responses to his coming, exposes the longing of our hearts. From kings and rulers to shepherds and expectant virgins, Jesus’ advent reveals what we treasure. Find him the joy of your heart this Christmas.

Over the next 12 days, we’re going to take a journey through the Christmas story and discover not only why it’s the greatest story ever told, but also how Christmas is truly for everyone!

今年將臨期，靈命日糧事工為你預備了12天的閱讀計劃「聖善夜：10首聖誕頌歌省思」，希望能夠讓你從忙碌的生活中找到片刻的寧靜，並思考這些珍貴的聖誕頌歌所蘊含的意義和歷史背景，一同期待基督的降臨。但願聖誕頌歌能喚醒我們對拯救的渴慕，期待「救主基督的降生」，與我們同在。

This three week plan walks us through the timeless wonder of how God came to us through His son, Jesus. The plan is designed to begin on a Monday so that each weekend will include shorter content meant for rest and reflection during the holiday season. Join us as we study what the birth of Christ means for our future, present, and past.

在為耶誕節而準備我們的心的同時，讓我們一起來學習耶穌是如何實現所有上帝所立的約。透過慶祝耶穌的誕辰，我們會認識到耶穌已經滿足了我們所有的需求，並且帶給我們希望。這個為期四週的讀經計畫是專為將臨期而撰寫的。「將臨期」是為了慶祝基督的來臨，以及他實現上帝的應許的一段時期。這個計畫將強調基督如何在歷史上履行上帝與祂子民之間所立下的聖約，而計畫中的最後一週將會著重於耶誕節的故事。

我們回顧世上的種種破碎，思想主耶穌到來時會帶來的恢復與完整。 我們會讚美他，把希望寄託於基督上時，滿心歡樂。 《恢復人的神》會帶我們走過降臨節的每一天，一起度過這個等待與期盼我們永生的君王的季節。

《應許中的救世主》是專為降臨節準備的為期四周的聖經學習資料。當我們深入探討神給他子民的有關彌賽亞的具體應許時，我們將看到耶穌如何成就了這應許的一點一滴，和祂在今天如何繼續持守祂的應許。

妳有沒有想過，為什麼我們在降臨節期間會有這麼多的慶典和歌頌？幾個世紀以來，在世界各地的教會用許多不同的語言來歌唱無數的聖誕詩歌。歷史上從未有人像拿撒勒人耶穌一般被歌頌。我們為什麼在聖誕節唱歌呢？因為神親自來到我們身邊！祂降世來到我們失喪的世界，因為祂愛我們。降臨節的第一首歌曲不是由巴赫或亨德爾創作的，也不是耳熟能詳的「平安夜」或「普世宣揚」。關於我們救主誕生的第一首歌曲被記錄在路加福音中，並由第一世紀的猶太人歌頌：馬利亞、撒迦利亞、西面，以及一個令人驚歎的天使合唱團，他們的聲音共同成為天外之音！我們將花四個星期的時間聆聽這些虔誠的猶太人和天使們對期待已久的彌賽亞誕生所發出的歡呼。妳可以在官網上找到更多這期讀經計劃「齊來歡頌」的內容，包括博文和Facebook或Instagram主頁。讓我們一起深入學習神的話語，並學習如何在這個降臨節和來年讚美我們的救主。

Christmas is a time when we should all expect heaven’s entrance into our dusty, dirty worlds. Christmas is a time that reminds us all that miracles really do happen, prayers are actually answered and that heaven is just one response away. Through the experiences of Mary, Joseph, Zecharias and Elizabeth, the shepherd and the wise men, this devotional explores the significance of the first Christmas and how it intersects with each of our lives today.

Christmas is truly the greatest story ever told: one of God’s perfect faithfulness, power, salvation, and unfailing love. Let’s take a journey over the next 25 days to discover God’s intricate plan to save the world from sin and the promises fulfilled in the birth of His Son.

How we posture ourselves in the Christmas season makes all the difference in our experience of the miracle of the Advent. Be inspired to surrender to Jesus, refocus on Him, and embrace the grace of our King in this 4-week daily devotional as you move through five different postures: Eyes Fixed, Head Up, Knees Bent, Hands Open, and Arms Wide.
