经文:启示录1:1-8
默想小帮手:
启示(1节):指神将隐藏的真理显明给人。
亚细亚(4节):在当时是罗马帝国的一个大省,位于现今土耳其西部。
七灵(4节):指神差遣往普天下去的圣灵。七是指圣灵多方面并且完全的工作果效,而非指圣灵是多数的。
阿拉法、俄梅戛(8节):「阿拉法alpha」是希腊文的第一个字母,「俄梅戛omega」则是最后一个字母,显明神是首先与末后的(赛44:6),是耶和华神的别称。
1:1-3带有蒙福应许的预言话语
在信仰生活中,我们相信什么是非常重要的。尤其在这个异端猖獗的世代,必须有正确的知识。约翰见证「耶稣基督的启示」(借着耶稣赐下的启示,也是有关耶稣的启示),它的内容是关于耶稣基督救恩的开始与完成。阅读、聆听与持守这些预言话语的人是多么有福。这也是启示录提到七福中的第一福(1:3,14:13,16:15,19:9,20:6,22:7、14)。启示录不仅讲述遥远的未来事件,更强调神实际的统治。神的话语乃是恩典,当我们重视神话语并且忠心持守,必能享受神成就的应许所带来的福分。
1:4-8主赐下恩惠与平安
神应许要赐下恩惠与平安,给遭受患难的基督徒作礼物。撰写启示录的当时,人们相信罗马皇帝会给他们平安,然而真正的平安是圣父、圣子、圣灵三位一体神所赏赐。神乃是恩惠与平安的根源。不论过去、现在与未来,神总是存在并且掌管全世界。基督是信实的见证人,祂从死里复活,并将我们从罪恶中拯救出来,使我们作神的百姓与祭司。任何人都不能夺去神的爱和救赎所赐给我们的恩惠与平安。基督徒务要在神的恩惠与爱中,随时倚靠阿拉法和俄梅戛的全能神,喜乐地盼望基督再来。

Scripture:
Revelation 1:1~8

Important Message (1:1–5)
Revelation
is a prophecy from and about Jesus Christ, which was delivered to John through
an angel. John writes to seven churches in the province of Asia, sharing
everything that was revealed to him. He encourages them to read this prophecy
aloud so that all those who hear might take it to heart because the time of
Jesus’ second coming is near. The holy, eternal, and triune God greets them and
extends His grace and peace to them. Through these visions, the One who is, and
who was, and who is to come speaks to His church in all times and places. As
believers who are awaiting Christ’s return, we too must listen with a readiness
to apply this word to our lives.
Coming
King (1:6–8)
Those
who have been freed by the blood if Jesus belong to God’s kingdom; they are
priest who serve God the Father who deserves all the glory. John quotes from
Old Testament prophets to remind believers that Jesus will soon return, and
even His enemies will witness His triumph. The Lord is the Alpha and Omega- the
One who rules history from the beginning to the end. Today, many rebel against
Jesus, ignoring God’s warning about the coming day of judgement. But when the
Father fully reveals Jesus’ glory, all those who failed to acknowledge Him will
mourn. We must, therefore, stand firm and stay alert, living in a way that
honors Christ and anticipates His final victory.
