與 路加福音 2:1 相關的免費讀經計畫與靈修短文

Christmas is a time to celebrate the greatest gift of all, Jesus. Looking at the story of Christ's anticipated arrival at Christmas reminds us that Jesus came to be the fulfillment of God's promises and faithfulness. All our hopes and prayers are answered in the presence of Jesus, Emmanuel, God with us.

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.

這個為期5天的靈修計畫將幫助你預備心，迎接主耶穌基督的降生。

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.

It seems we’re all in need of a good hug, real connection, and something delightful to celebrate right now. Our prayer is that this Advent devotional will offer you and your family a way to connect, learn about the real Christmas story, and celebrate Jesus’s birth with new traditions, dinnertime stories, bedtime conversations, and family activities. We hope this Christmas “hug” brings beautiful memories to your home this Advent season!

一起來閱讀聖經，看看神如何用史詩一般的鋪陳，預備耶穌的降生！非常適合找幾位對耶穌降生不熟悉的親朋好友，一起來進行的一個7天讀經計劃。

《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。
