Read: Revelation 21:1-7
Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. —Matthew 5:4
Bible in a year:
Ecclesiastes 7-9; 2 Corinthians 13
Has your heart ever been broken? What broke it? Cruelty? Failure? Unfaithful
ness? Loss? Perhaps you’ve crept into the darkness to cry.
It’s good to cry. “Tears are the only cure for weeping,” said Scottish pr
eacher George MacDonald. A little crying does one good.
Jesus wept at His friend Lazarus’ grave (John 11:35), and He weeps with us
(v.33). His heart was broken as well. Our tears attract our Lord’s lovingki
ndness and tender care. He knows our troubled, sleepless nights. His heart a
ches for us when we mourn. He is the “God of all comfort, who comforts us i
n all our tribulation” (2 Cor. 1:3-4). And He uses His people to comfort on
e another.
But tears and our need for comfort come back all too frequently in this life
. Present comfort is not the final answer. There is a future day when there
will be no death, no sorrow, no crying, for all these things will “have pas
sed away” (Rev. 21:4). There in heaven God will wipe away every tear. We ar
e so dear to our Father that He will be the one who wipes the tears away fro
m our eyes; He loves us so deeply and personally.
Remember, “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted” (Matt
. 5:4).
Think of a land of no sorrow,
Think of a land of no fears,
Think of no death and no sickness,
Think of a land of no tears. —Anon. | Q*******e 发帖数: 57 | 2 哭泣
讀經: 啟示錄21章1-7節
哀慟的人有福了,因為他們必得安慰。—馬太福音5章4節
全年讀經:
傳道書7-9章 哥林多後書13章
你是否曾經心碎?為了什麼?被苦待?失敗?不忠?或是失去摯愛?也許你曾經因此躲
在暗處哭泣。
哭泣其實是好的。蘇格蘭傳道人兼作家麥唐納(George MacDonald)說:「唯有淚水才
能醫治哭泣。」哭一下,不但無損,反而有益。
耶穌在祂的朋友拉撒路墳前哭泣(約翰福音11章35節),祂與我們一同哀哭(33節),
祂也會心碎。我們的眼淚讓耶穌以仁慈與關愛相待,祂深知我們每個輾轉難眠的夜晚。
我們哀慟,祂為我們心痛。祂是賜各樣安慰的上帝,在我們一切患難中,安慰我們(哥
林多後書1章3-4節)。祂也藉著祂的子民彼此安慰。
當我們活著的時候,常常都有流淚和需要安慰的時刻。今生的安慰只是暫時的,然而,
將來有一天,不再有死亡,也不再有悲傷、哭泣,因為「以前的事都過去了」(啟示錄
21章4節)。在天堂,上帝會為我們擦去每一滴眼淚。天父上帝如此珍愛我們,祂會親自
拭去我們眼中的淚水。祂對每個人的愛是如此深厚獨特。
別忘了,「哀慟的人有福了,因為他們必得安慰。」(馬太福音5章4節)。DHR
那裡沒有眼淚和恐懼,
那裡也無痛苦和憂傷;
那裡沒有疾病和死亡,
天堂真讓我一心嚮往!Anon.
上帝關心且分擔我們的憂傷。
