天堂的日出
讀 經：路加福音12章16－21節
金 句：「看哪，現在正是悅納的時候，現在正是拯救的日子。」（哥林多後書6章2節）
全年讀經：啟示錄10－12章
「它是不可沉沒的！」這是鐵達尼號的製造者驕傲的自吹。 1912年 4月 14日 ，這個豪華郵輪在首航途中沉沒了，2100名乘客中的大多數也同葬海中。
在安德生（Ingvald Andersen）為丹麥雜誌《傳播福音》所寫的文章中，提到一名叫約翰‧哈波（John Harper） 的乘客，他是熱心為基督做見證的人。根據一個生還者描述，在災難發生的傍晚約翰帶領了一個英國青年信主。
稍後，約翰與他的女兒和姪女在甲板上散步。在他們欣賞令人嘆為觀止的夕陽時，哈波說：「明早將是很美麗的。」
對他和所有在那夜死去的基督徒而言，翌日的早晨是美麗的。那是他們在天堂看到的第一個日出。安德生聯想到這一切，鼓勵他的讀者建立他們與耶穌的關係。
不管你的生活此刻是多麼平安，也隨時可能出現沉船般的災難。你若還未信主的話，就應像那個英國青年一樣--現在就接受基督成為你的救主。這樣，不管你何時或如何死亡，你就會在天堂看到日出。VCG
當生命結束日光消失，
我在天堂的港口停靠，
當我終於看到主耶穌，
喔，那將是我的日出！Poole
遲遲不接受救恩會導致不可挽回的悲劇。
Sunrise In Heaven
Read: Luke 12:16-21
Now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation. –2 Corinthians 6:2
Bible In One Year:
Revelation 10-12
It's unsinkable!" That was the proud boast made by the builders of the Titanic, the magnificent ocean liner that on April 14, 1912, went down during its maiden voyage. Most of the 2,100 passengers were sent to their deaths.
In an article for the Danish magazine Evangelisten, Ingvald Andersen told about one of the passengers, John Harper, who was a fervent witness for Christ. According to a survivor, on the evening of the disaster John had led a young Englishman to faith in the Savior.
Soon afterward, John went for a walk on the deck with his daughter and a niece. As they were admiring the spectacular sunset, Harper said, "It is going to be beautiful in the morning."
For him and any other Christian who died that night, the next morning was beautiful. Theirs was sunrise on their first day in heaven. Andersen, as he related all of this, urged his readers to be certain of their own relationship to Jesus.
No matter how safe and serene your life may be, it can end in shipwreck at any moment. So if you have never done so, you need to do as that young Englishman did–accept Christ as your Savior now. Then, regardless of when or how you die, yours will be sunrise in heaven. –VCG
When life is over and daylight is past,
In heaven's harbor my anchor is cast,
When I see Jesus my Savior at last,
Oh, that will be sunrise for me! –Poole
