Thankful
感恩
(1 Thessalonians 5:16-18)
Rejoice always, (17) pray continually, (18) give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
帖撒羅尼迦前書 5:16-18 CCB
常常喜樂， (17) 不斷地禱告， (18) 凡事謝恩，因為這是上帝在基督耶穌裡給你們的旨意。
God’s will: to be thankful!
神的旨意: 感恩!
(Luke 17:11-19) Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee.
(12) As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy met him. They stood at a distance (13) and called out in a loud voice,“Jesus, Master, have pity on us!”
(14) When he saw them, he said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were cleansed.
(15) One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice.
(16) He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan. (17) Jesus asked, “Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? (18) Has no one returned to give praise to God except this foreigner?”
(19) Then he said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well.”
路加福音 17:11-19 CCB
(11)耶穌繼續前往耶路撒冷，途經撒瑪利亞和加利利的交界處。
(12) 祂進入一個村莊時，十個痲瘋病人迎面而來。他們遠遠地站著， (13) 高聲呼喊道：「耶穌，老師啊，求你可憐我們吧！」
(14) 耶穌看見他們，就說：「去讓祭司察看你們的身體。」他們去的時候，就潔淨了。
(15) 其中一個發現自己痊癒了，就跑回來，高聲讚美上帝，
(16) 又俯伏在耶穌的腳前連連稱謝。這人是撒瑪利亞人。(17) 耶穌說：「被醫好的不是有十個人嗎？其他九個呢？ (18) 回來讚美稱頌上帝的只有這個外族人嗎？」
(19) 於是祂對那人說：「起來回去吧！你的信心救了你。」

The hope of a special little baby
一個特別小嬰孩的盼望
Isaiah 9:6-7 ERV
[6] This will happen when the special child is born. God will give us a son who will be responsible for leading the people. His name will be "Wonderful Counselor, Powerful God, Father Who Lives Forever, Prince of Peace." [7] His power will continue to grow, and there will be peace without end. This will establish him as the king sitting on David's throne and ruling his kingdom. He will rule with goodness and justice forever and ever. The strong love that the LORD All-Powerful has for his people will make this happen!
以賽亞書 9章6-7節 CUV
6 因 有 一 嬰 孩 為 我 們 而 生 ； 有 一 子 賜 給 我 們 。 政 權 必 擔 在 他 的 肩 頭 上 ； 他 名 稱 為 奇 妙 策 士 、 全 能 的 神 、 永 在 的 父 、 和 平 的 君 。7 他 的 政 權 與 平 安 必 加 增 無 窮 。 他 必 在 大 衛 的 寶 座 上 治 理 他 的 國 ， 以 公 平 公 義 使 國 堅 定 穩 固 ， 從 今 直 到 永 遠 。 萬 軍 之 耶 和 華 的 熱 心 必 成 就 這 事 。
1 - Our hope is in His grace
我們的盼望在衪的恩典裡
Titus 3:3-7 NIV
[3] At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. [4] But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, [5] he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, [6] whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, [7] so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life.
提多書 3章3 -7節 CUV
3 我 們 從 前 也 是 無 知 、 悖 逆 、 受 迷 惑 、 服 事 各 樣 私 慾 ， 和 宴 樂 ， 常 存 惡 毒 嫉 妒 的 心 ， 是 可 恨 的 ， 又 是 彼 此 相 恨 。4 但 到 了 神 ─ 我 們 救 主 的 恩 慈 和 他 向 人 所 施 的 慈 愛 顯 明 的 時 候 ，5 他 便 救 了 我 們 ； 並 不 是 因 我 們 自 己 所 行 的 義 ， 乃 是 照 他 的 憐 憫 ， 藉 著 重 生 的 洗 和 聖 靈 的 更 新 。6 聖 靈 就 是 神 藉 著 耶 穌 基 督 我 們 救 主 厚 厚 澆 灌 在 我 們 身 上 的 ，7 好 叫 我 們 因 他 的 恩 得 稱 為 義 ， 可 以 憑 著 永 生 的 盼 望 成 為 後 嗣 。 （ 或 作 ： 可 以 憑 著 盼 望 承 受 永 生 ） 。
2 - Our hope in Him energises us
在祂的盼望裡帶給我們力量
1 Peter 1:3 TPT
[3] Celebrate with praises the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has shown us his extravagant mercy. For his fountain of mercy has given us a new life-we are reborn to experience a living, energetic hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.
彼得前書 1章3節 CUV
願 頌 讚 歸 與 我 們 主 耶 穌 基 督 的 父 神 ！ 他 曾 照 自 己 的 大 憐 憫 ， 藉 耶 穌 基 督 從 死 裡 復 活 ， 重 生 了 我 們 ， 叫 我 們 有 活 潑 的 盼 望
Proverbs 10:28 ESV
[28] The hope of the righteous brings joy, but the expectation of the wicked will perish.
箴言 10章28節 CUV
義 人 的 盼 望 必 得 喜 樂 ； 惡 人 的 指 望 必 致 滅 沒 。 -

Luke 1:28-35,38 NLT
[28] Gabriel appeared to her and said, "Greetings, favored woman! The Lord is with you!" [29] Confused and disturbed, Mary tried to think what the angel could mean. [30] "Don't be afraid, Mary," the angel told her, "for you have found favor with God! [31] You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you will name him Jesus. [32] He will be very great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his ancestor David. [33] And he will reign over Israel forever; his Kingdom will never end!" [34] Mary asked the angel, "But how can this happen? I am a virgin." [35] The angel replied, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the baby to be born will be holy, and he will be called the Son of God. [38] Mary responded, "I am the Lord's servant. May everything you have said about me come true." And then the angel left her.

The fearful king and the seeking wise men
驚慌的國王與尋求的智者
Matthew 2:1-3 ERV
[1] Jesus was born in the town of Bethlehem in Judea during the time when Herod was king. After Jesus was born, some wise men from the east came to Jerusalem. [2] They asked people, "Where is the child who has been born to be the king of the Jews? We saw the star that shows he was born. We saw it rise in the sky in the east and have come to worship him." [3] When King Herod heard about this, it upset him as well as everyone else in Jerusalem.
馬太福音 2:1-3 CCB
希律王執政期間，耶穌降生在猶太的伯利恆城。當時有幾位智者從東方來到耶路撒冷， (2)問道：「那生來做猶太人之王的在哪裡呢？我們在東方看見祂的星，特來朝拜祂。」(3) 希律王聽後，心裡不安，全城的人都感到不安。
1 - 2 very different responses to the savior
1 - 兩個對救世主不同的回應
Matthew 2:4-9 ERV
[4] Herod called a meeting of all the leading Jewish priests and teachers of the law. He asked them where the Messiah would be born. [5] They answered, "In the town of Bethlehem in Judea, just as the prophet wrote: [6] 'Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, you are important among the rulers of Judah. Yes, a ruler will come from you, and that ruler will lead Israel, my people.'" [7] Then Herod had a private meeting with the wise men from the east. He learned from them the exact time they first saw the star. [8] Then he sent them to Bethlehem. He said, "Go and look carefully for the child. When you find him, come tell me. Then I can go worship him too." [9] After the wise men heard the king, they left. They saw the same star they had seen in the east, and they followed it.
馬太福音 2:4-9 CCB
希律王就召來祭司長和律法教師，問他們：「基督在哪裡降生呢？」(5)他們回答說：「在猶太的伯利恆，因為先知這樣記載，(6) 『猶大地區的伯利恆啊！你在猶大各城中並不是最小的，因為有一位君王要從你那裡出來，牧養我的以色列子民。』(7) 於是，希律暗中召見那幾位智者，仔細查問那星出現的準確時間， (8) 然後派他們去伯利恆，並吩咐道：「你們去仔細尋訪那個小孩，找到了，就回來報信，我也好去朝拜祂。」(9) 他們聽了王的吩咐，就去了。忽然，那顆曾在東方出現的星又出現在他們前面，引領他們來到小孩耶穌所在的地方，便停下來。
2 - The king’s fear made him control everything, while the wise men came ready to give
2 - 國王的驚慌令到他控制所有東西，但智者準備好去奉獻
Matthew 2:9-12 ERV
The star went before them until it stopped above the place where the child was. [10] They were very happy and excited to see the star. [11] The wise men came to the house where the child was with his mother Mary. They bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened the boxes of gifts they had brought for him. They gave him treasures of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. [12] But God warned the wise men in a dream not to go back to Herod. So they went home to their own country a different way.
馬太福音 2:9-12 CCB
他們聽了王的吩咐，就去了。忽然，那顆曾在東方出現的星又出現在他們前面，引領他們來到小孩耶穌所在的地方，便停下來。 (10) 他們看見那顆星，喜出望外。 (11) 他們進了屋子，看見孩子和祂母親瑪麗亞，就俯伏在地上拜祂，並打開盛寶物的盒子獻上黃金、乳香和沒藥作禮物。 (12) 他們在夢中得到指示不可回希律那裡，便改道返回了家鄉。
3 - Ultimately fear robs Herod from meeting the savior but the wise men encounter Jesus face to face
3- 極度的驚慌感劫走希律王與救世主見面，但智者親自面見耶穌
Isaiah 9:6 ERV
This will happen when the special child is born. God will give us a son who will be responsible for leading the people. His name will be "Wonderful Counselor, Powerful God, Father Who Lives Forever, Prince of Peace."
以賽亞書 9:6 CCB
必有一個嬰兒為我們誕生，有一個孩子要賜給我們。祂必統治我們，祂被稱為奇妙的策士、全能的上帝、永存的父、和平的君。
Hebrews 11:6 ERV
Without faith no one can please God. Whoever comes to God must believe that he is real and that he rewards those who sincerely try to find him.
希伯來書 11:6 CCB
沒有信心的人不能得到上帝的喜悅，因為來到上帝面前的人必須相信上帝存在，並相信祂會賞賜一切尋求祂的人。 -

創世記 26:1-2 CCB
亞伯拉罕在世的時候，那地方鬧過一次饑荒，這時又鬧饑荒。以撒就遷到基拉耳的非利士王亞比米勒那裡。 (2) 耶和華向以撒顯現說：「不要下埃及去，要住在我指示你住的地方。

For to you and your descendants I will give all these lands and will confirm the oath I swore to your father Abraham. (4) I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and will give them all these lands, and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed, (5) because Abraham obeyed me and did everything I required of him, keeping my commands, my decrees and my instructions.” (6) So Isaac stayed in Gerar.

He named it Rehoboth, saying, “Now the Lord has given us room and we will flourish in the land.”

But Jacob said, "I will not let you go unless you bless me." [27] "What is your name?" the man asked. He replied, "Jacob." [28] "Your name will no longer be Jacob," the man told him.

[3] Then Mary took a pound of very costly oil of spikenard, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the oil. [4] But one of His disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, who would betray Him, said, [5] "Why was this fragrant oil not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?" [6] This he said, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the money box; and he used to take what was put in it.
約翰福音 12:1-6 CCB
逾越節前六天，耶穌來到伯大尼，就是祂叫拉撒路從死裡復活的村子。 2 村裡有人為耶穌預備了晚飯，拉撒路也與耶穌同席，瑪大在旁邊伺候。 3 瑪麗亞拿出一瓶珍貴的純哪噠香膏來抹耶穌的腳，又用自己的頭髮去擦，屋裡頓時充滿了香氣。
4 有一個門徒，就是將要出賣耶穌的加略人猶大說： 5 「為什麼不把香膏賣三百個銀幣去賙濟窮人呢？」 6 他這樣說不是因為他真的關心窮人，其實他是個賊，常常藉管錢的機會中飽私囊。
