(461) 「灵粮主题 TODAY’s Topic」：神秘的圣灵保惠师 Mysterious Holy Spirit Comforter

「灵粮经节 TODAY’s Verses」：「使徒保罗经常鼓励我们说： “不要叫神的圣灵担忧（你们得成圣）；你们原是受了他（圣灵）的印记， 等候（耶稣再来）得赎的日子来到。一 切苦毒、恼恨、忿怒、嚷闹、毁谤，并一切的恶毒，都当从你们中间除掉；并要以恩慈相待，存怜悯的心，彼此饶恕，正如神在基督里饶恕了你们一样 (得了成圣）”; Apostle Paul always encourages us by saying， “And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God (but maintain being holy), with whom you were sealed (by the Holy Spirit) for the day of redemption （with his second coming）. Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you (and become holy).” （以弗所书 Ephesians 4：30-32节）

「灵粮分享 TODAY’s Sharing」： 今晨在「今日灵粮 Spiritual Food TODAY」里，读到张皇卿 Rev. John King 以前写了一篇， “神的第三位格圣灵” 的分享。皇卿牧师引用提摩太后书 2 Timothy 3: 16 节，描述圣灵的一个实体默示的功能，就是遗留写下了神所默示的圣经 - 神的话语与其旨意，於教训、督责、使人归正、教导人学义都是有益的。也就是「今日灵粮 Spiritual Food TODAY」 主题要分享的，说到基督徒每日的生活，都要专注于耶稣所差派来的 “神秘的圣灵保惠师”，顺从他的保惠和引导。所以在今日灵粮的经节以弗所书 Ephesians 4：30-32 节，尤其是 30 节，保罗鼓励我们，不要叫神的圣灵担忧，必须持信到底，等候耶稣再来得赎的日子来到，叫属神的人得以完全，能行各样善事以至成圣，终就能与神接近，回到主耶稣升天给我们所预备的地方与神同住同在。皇卿牧师给解释道：基督徒的信仰重点，在于尊颂信靠赞美我们这三位一体的神，他们的三位同工合作配搭，完成了神爱世人，三个步骤的救赎计划：（1）第一步骤：神的第一位格 “圣父” 显露着神就是爱，他创造天地万物，但是人类始祖亚当夏娃犯罪，亏欠了神的荣耀。可是他还是信实怜悯有爱；（2）第二步骤：就此，圣父差派他的第二格位 “圣子“，神的独生爱子，“耶稣” 救主来世，道成肉身，担当做了人类的挽回祭，钉死在十字架上流血赎罪，第三天复活，替我们战胜了罪的工价死亡，完成了神给人类的救恩计划；（3）第三步骤：虽然，圣子救主耶稣复活升天，给我们准备将来的地方去，但是神还是不放心，圣子请求圣父，这三位一体的神，就派他的第三位格 “圣灵” 保惠师，来到世间居住在我们当中和心里，圣灵引导我们走完该走的人生义路，叫属灵的人们得以完全，跟随救主耶稣，学像他成圣，终能与神接近同住同在，享有永生的赏赐和盼望。大家星期五开心与周末愉快！

「灵粮祷告 TODAY’s Prayer」：「今日灵粮 Spiritual Food TODAY」 也就引用以西结书 Ezekiel 36: 27 节，和大家在主的爱里相互勉励与祷告。让我们认识神的奇妙救恩计划，和其最终的救赎步骤，也就是要基督徒牢牢记住这 “神秘的圣灵保惠师” ，他在灵里启发引导基督徒过着得胜的灵命生活走完天路。因此有人或许会问：（1）谁是这圣灵保惠师？他就是那参与创作天地人类的第三位格圣灵，神的灵运行在水面上，有水的地方就有生命。（创世纪 Genesis 1: 1-2）；（2）你怎么知道有圣灵？耶稣的门徒都亲自领受到圣灵在五旬节的降临（使徒行传 Acts 2: 2-4），各人都得有不同的属灵恩赐，能说各国各族的不同方言，事奉的能力结出圣灵所结的果子，有仁爱, 喜乐等；（3）怎得圣灵重生成圣？也就引用耶稣告诉法利赛人尼哥底母，重生得救的故事，人若不是从水和圣灵生的，就不能进神的国（约翰福音 John 3: 5-8）。因为人的容易犯罪恶性不听话，神早在旧约先知时代，就引用这以西结书经节里告诉我们：“我必将我的灵放在你们里面，使你们顺从我的律例，谨守遵行我的典章。“ 所以在新约里耶稣门徒和我们后来的，都亲自领受到圣灵在五旬节的降临。求神帮助我们能够坚守此信，学像救主耶稣在世成圣的生活， 讨神喜悦。祷告奉主名求的， 阿们！

This morning, in the "今日灵粮 Spiritual Food TODAY ", I read the sharing of " God's third person, the Holy Spirit " written by Rev. John King". Pastor John quoted 2 Timothy 3: 16 to show the gracious work of inspiration by the Holy Spirit, which has given us physically a written living Bible that is inspired with God's word and his will, as all Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness. This is what the theme of "今日灵粮 Spiritual Food TODAY " is about to share. When it comes to the daily life of Christians, we must focus on the work of this “Mysterious Holy Spirit Comforter" sent by Jesus for us to obey God’s will with his protection and follow his guidance. Therefore, in TODAY’s Verses , Ephesians 4:30-32, especially verse 30, Paul encourages us not to grieve the Holy Spirit of God, but to persevere in faith until the day of redemption is fulfilled when Jesus returns , so that those who belong to God can be perfected, able to do all kinds of good works until they become holy, and finally be able to get closer to God, and finally return home to the place prepared for us by the ascension of our Lord Jesus to live with him and God. Pastor John explained: The key point of Christian faith is to worship, trust and praise to our Trinity God. The Trinity God of three-person work cooperatively to complete his three-step redemption plan of God’s love for the world: (1) The first step: God's first person "Father" reveals that God is love, he created the heaven, earth and us, but the ancestors of mankind, Adam and Eve, sinned and fell short of the glory of God. However, God is still faithful, merciful and loving; (2) The second step: At this point, the Holy Father sent his second person "Holy Son", God's only begotten Son, "Jesus" the Savior came to the world, incarnated, as a propitiation sacrifice for mankind, he was crucified on the cross and shed blood to make atonement, resurrected on the third day, defeated the wages of sin to die for us, and completed God’s plan of salvation for mankind; (3) The third step: Although, the Holy Son, our Savior, Jesus, was resurrected and ascended to heaven, and prepared for us to go to our future place, but God was still care and worried for us. Therefore, Holy Son asked the Father, the Trinity God, to send his third person, the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, to come to the world dwelling in our midst and in our hearts, the Holy Spirit guides us to complete the righteous path of life that we should walk, so that spiritual people can be perfected, follow the Savior Jesus, learn to be sanctified like Him, and finally be able to live close to God and enjoy eternal life rewards and hopes. Happy Friday and weekend everyone!

In conclusion, “今日灵粮 Spiritual Food TODAY” would like to quote Ezekiel 36:27, and be encouraged to pray for each other in the love of our Lord. Let us remember this God's wonderful plan of salvation and its final step of redemption, that is, Christians should keep in mind of this "Mysterious Holy Spirit Comforter", who inspires and guides Christians to live a victorious spiritual life towards reaching eternity heavenly. It may therefore be asked: (1) Who is this Comforter of the Holy Spirit? He is the third Person of the Trinity God who participated in the creation of heaven, earth, and human beings where the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters, and where there is water, there is life. (Genesis 1: 1-2); (2) How do you know the Holy Spirit? The disciples of Jesus all personally received the coming of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2: 2-4), each of them could receive different spiritual gifts, be able to speak different languages of different countries and groups, and have the abilities of serving others in bearing fruit of the Holy Spirit, with love, Joy, and so forth; (3) How can the Holy Spirit helps regenerate you into sanctification? This can be found with Jesus telling the Pharisee Nicodemus, in the story of being born again and being saved, “no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit” (John 3: 5-8). As humans are easy to sin, vicious, and disobedient, God quoted this verse from Ezekiel as early as the time of the prophets in the Old Testament to tell us that, " And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws.” And therefore, in the New Testament, the disciples of Jesus and the believers who came after all personally received the coming of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost. May God help us to stick on to this faith, and imitate the sanctified life of our Savior Jesus when he was on earth, but to please God. Pray in the name of our Lord. Amen!
