讀經

「他們晝夜不住地說：聖哉！聖哉！聖哉！主 神是昔在、今在、以後永在的全能者。」 - 啟 4:8

"Day and night they never stop saying: Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come. "

— Revelation 4:8

靈修

在一個水深火熱的大危機時期，使徒約翰寫這封信給小亞細亞的教會，針對第一世紀的基督徒，迫害大大加增嚴峻情況。

The apostle John wrote this letter to the churches in Asia Minor in a time of great crisis. Persecution had greatly increased among first-century Christians.

約翰因為拒絕敬拜羅馬皇帝，被放逐到拔摩島上。他是從那裡發出這封信，描述了從神而來的異象。他挑戰他的讀者們看到，他們正在忍受的一切迫害，不過是主再來時那歡欣慶祝的前奏。

John was banished to the island of Patmos for refusing to worship the Roman emperor as Lord. From there he sent this letter describing a vision from God. He challenged his readers to see that what they were experiencing was a prelude to the joyful celebration that would take place when the Lord returns.

我們也必須透過信心看待今天世界上發生的事。透過信心，我們看到神的國已經來到了，因為耶穌已經來到了。透過信心，我們可以每天都喜樂地事奉神。

By faith we too must see what is going on in the world. By faith we must see that the kingdom of God has come because Jesus has come. By faith we can serve him with joy every day.

約翰邀請我們以歌唱來敬拜神，連同寶座周圍的四活物一起說：「聖哉！聖哉！聖哉！主 神是昔在、今在、以後永在的全能者。」

John invites us to worship God in song, joining with the four living creatures near the throne, saying, " Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come."

每當我們敬拜神，我們都受邀與這些活物一起歌唱說：我們的神是永恆的，祂全然聖潔。無論我們處在生命的哪個季節，又或者我們的環境如何，無論這世界看似能翻雲覆雨的人物有哪些，我們都可以歌唱：「我們的神作王！祂執掌王權！」因著耶穌，我們今天就可以喜樂地就近祂的施恩寶座來敬拜祂。

Whenever we worship God, we are invited to sing with these creatures that our God is eternal and absolutely pure. No matter what season of life we are in, or what our circumstances may be, and no matter who the shakers and movers in our world appear to be, we too can sing, "Our God reigns! He is in control!" Because of Jesus we may joyfully approach his throne and worship him today.

禱告

全能的神啊，禰是聖潔的！我們在禰面前跪拜，因禰是那位昔在、今在、永在的神。我們感謝禰，我們世世代代都在禰的掌管之中。奉耶穌的名禱告，阿們。

You are holy, Lord God Almighty. We bow before you, the one who was and is and is to come. We thank you that our times are in your hands. In Jesus name, Amen.

經文

啟示錄 4:1-8

Revelation 4:1-8

1此後，我觀看，見天上有門開了。我初次聽見好像吹號的聲音，對我說：「你上到這裡來，我要將以後必成的事指示你。」

2我立刻被聖靈感動，見有一個寶座安置在天上，又有一位坐在寶座上。

3看那坐著的，好像碧玉和紅寶石；又有虹圍著寶座，好像綠寶石。

4寶座的周圍又有二十四個座位；其上坐著二十四位長老，身穿白衣，頭上戴著金冠冕。

5有閃電、聲音、雷轟從寶座中發出；又有七盞火燈在寶座前點著；這七燈就是神的七靈。

6寶座前好像一個玻璃海，如同水晶。 寶座中和寶座周圍有四個活物，前後遍體都滿了眼睛。

7第一個活物像獅子，第二個像牛犢，第三個臉面像人，第四個像飛鷹。

8四活物各有六個翅膀，遍體內外都滿了眼睛。他們晝夜不住地說： 聖哉！聖哉！聖哉！ 主神是昔在、今在、 以後永在的全能者。 ?
