獻身
讀 經：加拉太書6：7-14
金 句：「我斷不以別的誇口，只誇我們主耶穌基督的十字架。因這十字架，就我而論，世界已經釘在十字架上；就世界而論，我已經釘在十字架上。」（加拉太書6：14）
全年讀經：詩篇28-30篇
音樂會結束後，一位婦人衝向小提琴家弗裡茲．克里斯樂（Fritz Kreislev），熱切地說：「喔，我想要像你一樣把生命獻給拉琴。」克氏嚴肅地回答說：「我確實是這樣做的。」
克里斯樂花費大量時間和精力，同時也犧牲自己的慾望，才在琴藝上登峰造極。在屬靈的領域也一樣，如果我們想成為成熟的基督徒，我們必須願意犧牲自我。
根據加拉太書6：14，有三次釘十字架。第一次是基督被釘十字架。他的犧牲拯救了我們。第二次是我們的世界被釘十字架，這排除了任何有礙我們得到上帝的賜福的東西，例如享樂、榮耀、財富…等等。第三是我們作為基督徒必須被釘十字架，從此我們就不再對世界的誘惑有所反應。第一個十字架說明瞭我們得救的基礎，第二個十字架是有關我們獲救的結果，至於第三個十字架則是規範我們蒙救後每日的生活。
你是否能真心誠意得象保羅所說的：「我斷不以別的誇口，只誇我們主耶穌基督的十字架。因這十字架，就我而論，世界已經釘在十字架上，就世界而論，我已經釘在十字架上。」你若能這樣說，你已在作犧牲，你將得到永恆的回報。HGB
拿走世界，給我耶穌吧！
世上的歡樂都有名無實，
只有他的愛，行之永遠，
歷經亙古萬代永不變遷。Crosby
我應如何感激耶穌為拯救我們而付出得代價？

Giving Your Life
Read: Galatians 6:7-14
God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. --Galatians 6:14
A woman rushed up to violinist Fritz Kreisler after a concert and gushed, "Oh, I would give my life to play as you do!" He answered soberly, "That's exactly what I did."
Kreisler had made a great sacrifice of time, effort, and personal desires to attain the heights of such human accomplishments. So too, in the spiritual realm, if we would become mature followers of Christ, we must be willing to die to self.
Three crucifixions are in view in Galatians 6:14. First is the crucifixion of Christ. His sacrificial death on the cross provided our salvation. Second is the crucifixion of the world. Its pleasures, honors, treasures, and anything that hinders us from full blessing must be rejected. Third, we as believers are crucified, no longer responsive to the world's temptations. The first cross speaks of the basis of our salvation, the second deals with the result of our salvation, and the third points to the living out of that salvation from day to day.
Can you truthfully and enthusiastically say with Paul, "God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world"? When you can say that, you're making a sacrifice that will reap eternal rewards. --Henry G. Bosch (ODB Editor 1956-1981)
Take the world, but give me Jesus,
All its joys are but a name;
But His love abideth ever,
Through eternal years the same. --Crosby
Jesus paid the price for my salvation; how am I showing my gratitude?
