30他們離開那地方，經過加利利；耶穌不願意人知道。31於是教訓門徒，說：人子將要被交在人手裡，他們要殺害他；被殺以後，過三天他要復活。32門徒卻不明白這話，又不敢問他。33他們來到迦百農，耶穌在屋裡問門徒說：你們在路上議論的是甚麼？34門徒不作聲，因為他們在路上彼此爭論誰為大。35耶穌坐下，叫十二個門徒來，說：若有人願意作首先的，他必作眾人末後的，作眾人的用人。

默想：

1. 耶穌知道在耶路撒冷將要發生的事情，祂再次告訴門徒祂將要受死，並要復活。然而門徒對耶穌將面對的死亡與復活漠不關心，卻在爭辯在將來的國度裡，各人的地位與前途如何。
2. 我們每個人都會為自己在某個群體中的地位與身份而掙扎奮鬥：“我怎樣融入？在這群體中我有什麼重要？”
3. 究竟耶穌的“成功”方式與你的經歷有什麼不同？如何才能將35-37節的真意，實現在你的家中，工作場合？
4. 祈求聖靈幫助你，謙卑地服事他人，而不求被服事。

今日箴言：5:18-19

18要使你的泉源蒙福，要喜悅你幼年所娶的妻，19她如可愛的麀鹿，可喜的母鹿。願她的胸懷使你時時知足，她的愛情使你常常戀慕。

27 耶穌和門徒出去，往凱撒利亞•腓立比村莊去；在路上問門徒說：「人說我是誰？」 28 他們說：「有人說是施洗的約翰；有人說是以利亞；又有人說是先知裡的一位。」29又問他們說：「你們說我是誰？」彼得回答說：「你是基督。」30耶穌就禁戒他們，不要告訴人。31從此，他教訓他們說：「人子必須受許多的苦，被長老、祭司長，和文士棄絕，並且被殺，過三天復活。」32耶穌明明地說這話，彼得就拉著他，勸他。33耶穌轉過來，看著門徒，就責備彼得說：「撒但，退我後邊去吧！因為你不體貼神的意思，只體貼人的意思。」34於是叫眾人和門徒來，對他們說：「若有人要跟從我，就當捨己，背起他的十字架來跟從我。」35因為，凡要救自己生命（或作：靈魂；下同）的，必喪掉生命；凡為我和福音喪掉生命的，必救了生命。36人就是賺得全世界，賠上自己的生命，有甚麼益處呢？37人還能拿甚麼換生命呢？38凡在這淫亂罪惡的世代，把我和我的道當作可恥的，人子在他父的榮耀裡，同聖天使降臨的時候，也要把那人當作可恥的。

默想：

1. 當彼得承認耶穌「你是基督」——開口認耶穌為主，為救主，那僅僅是踏出信仰的第一步。下一步便是一生之久的旅程，是完完全全、真真實實地活出彼得在此時口中所表明的知識。
2. 基督徒也是如此，在我們認耶穌為救主與主宰之後，耶穌呼召我們要活出這樣的生命：「捨己，背起他的十字架來跟從我」。
3. 在一生信仰的旅途上，你踏出了第幾步？是還在第一步徘徊？或是已經朝向成聖的境地邁進？你膽怯、害怕的是什麼？
4. 為你走信仰路程的勇氣與信心禱告，求主的牽引，你甘心跟隨。

今日箴言：5:15-17

15你要喝自己池中的水，飲自己井裡的活水。16你的泉源豈可漲溢在外？你的河水豈可流在街上？17唯獨歸你一人，不可與外人同用。

17耶穌離開眾人，進了屋子，門徒就問他這比喻的意思。18耶穌對他們說：「你們也是這樣不明白嗎？豈不曉得凡從外面進入的，不能污穢人， 19 因為不是入他的心，乃是入他的肚腹，又落到茅廁裡。（這是說，各樣的食物都是潔淨的）」；20又說：「從人裡面出來的，那才能污穢人；21因為從裡面，就是從人心裡，發出惡念、苟合、22偷盜、凶殺、姦淫、貪婪、邪惡、詭詐、淫蕩、嫉妒、謗讟、驕傲、狂妄。23這一切的惡都是從裡面出來，且能污穢人。」

默想：

1. 信主的人成為聖潔，不是因為我們的行為表現良好，而是因為基督更新了我們的心思，塑造我們成為祂的樣式。任何邪惡的行為都是從一念之差開始的，若我們容讓自己的思想浸淫在慾望、妒忌、憎惡和仇恨裡，至終我們便會犯罪。
2. 繼續操練昨天的「獨處、安靜」，用些時間來歇息，求聖靈光照，檢視自己內心的思念，有什麼需要潔淨的思想、念頭嗎？向神禱告，求祂洗滌你內心的污穢。

今日箴言：5:11-14

11終久你皮肉和身體消毀，你就悲嘆，12說：「我怎麼恨惡訓誨，心中藐視責備，13也不聽從我師傅的話，又不側耳聽那教訓我的人！14我在聖會裡幾乎落在諸般惡中！」

30使徒聚集到耶穌那裡，將一切所做的事、所傳的道全告訴他。31他就說：「你們來，同我暗暗地到曠野地方去歇一歇。」這是因為來往的人多，他們連吃飯也沒有工夫。32他們就坐船，暗暗地往曠野地方去。33眾人看見他們去，有許多認識他們的，就從各城步行，一同跑到那裡，比他們先趕到了。34耶穌出來，見有許多的人，就憐憫他們，因為他們如同羊沒有牧人一般，於是開口教訓他們許多道理。

默想：

1. 耶穌差遣門徒出去傳道，當他們工作結束回來時，耶穌帶著他們遠離群眾「到曠野去、歇一歇」，這是因為耶穌知道，門徒們若要繼續有效的事奉，他們必須有獨處休息的時間，靈命得以更新，以便再接再厲為主工作。《生命陶造版聖經》對「獨處」的定義是：刻意減少人際的互動，好在生活中騰出空間，使我們擺脫各樣的纏累，讓神找著我們。
2. 在你日常的行程表中，有多少「安靜、獨處」的時間？每天繁忙的生活中，怎樣「讓神找著我」？
3. 將下週或下個月的日程表打開，嘗試劃出一段時間（半個鐘頭，或是長至半日或一日），去公園、空曠的地方，或是在一個安靜、不受打擾的室內，「安靜、獨處」，並與神對話。

今日箴言：5:7-10

7眾子啊，現在要聽從我，不可離棄我口中的話。8你所行的道要離她遠，不可就近她的房門，9恐怕將你的尊榮給別人，將你的歲月給殘忍的人，10恐怕外人滿得你的力量，你勞碌得來的歸入外人的家。

第五章
25有一個女人，患了十二年的血漏， 26 在好些醫生手裡受了許多
的苦，又花盡了她所有的，一點也不見好，病勢反倒更重了。 27
她聽見耶穌的事，就從後頭來，雜在眾人中間，摸耶穌的衣裳，
28 意思說：「我只摸他的衣裳，就必痊癒。」 29 於是她血漏的
源頭立刻乾了；她便覺得身上的災病好了。 30 耶穌頓時心裡覺
得有能力從自己身上出去，就在眾人中間轉過來，說：「誰摸我
的衣裳？」 31 門徒對他說：「你看眾人擁擠你，還說『誰摸我』
嗎？」 32 耶穌周圍觀看，要見做這事的女人。 33 那女人知道在
自己身上所成的事，就恐懼戰兢，來俯伏在耶穌跟前，將實情全告
訴他。 34 耶穌對她說：「女兒，你的信救了你，平平安安地回去
吧！你的災病痊癒了。」

默想：
1.耶穌在前往醫治睚魯女兒的路上，被這位長年患血漏病的女人
觸摸。她花盡所有都不能醫好這病，當她聽到耶穌時，她立刻
相信只要摸一下耶穌的衣裳，就必得痊癒，她也真的得癒。

2.馬可這段描述是要向我們表明，耶穌基督——神國度的主宰，
祂的權能勝過自然界、勝過惡魔的權勢、以及各樣的疾病。當
我們認識耶穌這樣的權力時，既或祂沒有立時醫治每一位信徒
的疾病，我們仍有信心靠著祂的話語（聖經）來生活。

3.將我心中迫切的需要告訴耶穌，並求祂的醫治和幫助。

今日箴言：5:3-6
3因為淫婦的嘴滴下蜂蜜，她的口比油更滑，4至終卻苦似茵
陳，快如兩刃的刀。5她的腳下入死地，她腳步踏住陰間，6
以致她找不著生命平坦的道。她的路變遷不定，自己還不知道。

 

Mark 5
25And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years.
26She had suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all
she had, yet instead of getting better she grew worse.
27When she heard about
Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak,
28becauseshe thought, “If I just touch his clothes, I will be healed.”
29Immediately her bleeding stopped and she felt in her body that she was freed from her
suffering. 30 At once Jesus realized that power had gone out from him. He
turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my clothes?” 31 “You see
the people crowding against you,” his disciples answered, “and yet you can ask,
‘Who touched me?’ ” 32 But Jesus kept looking around to see who had done
it. 33 Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell at his
feet and, trembling with fear, told him the whole truth. 34 He said to
her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your
suffering.”

Meditation
1. Jesus, on his way to the home of a dying girl, was touched by a woman
with chronic bleeding. She spent all she had to search for a cure but to
no avail. Then she heard about Jesus, she became convinced that if she
could only touch his clothing, she would be healed. And she was
healed indeed.

2. Mark is demonstrating to us here that Jesus Christ, ruler of God’s
kingdom, has power over nature, over demonic power, and over every
illness. Knowing Jesus has such power gives us confidence to live by his
word, even if he should not choose to heal every believer’s disease now.

3. Tell Jesus all of my urgent needs and ask for His healing and help.

Proverbs for Today: 5:3-6
3For the lips of a forbidden woman drip honey,
and her speech is smoother than oil,
4but in the end she is bitter as wormwood,
sharp as a two-edged sword.
5Her feet go down to death;
her steps follow the path to Sheol;
6she does not ponder the path of life;
her ways wander, and she does not know it.

第四章
21 耶穌又對他們說：「人拿燈來，豈是要放在斗底下，床底下，不
放在燈臺上嗎？ 22 因為掩藏的事，沒有不顯出來的；隱瞞的事，
沒有不露出來的。 23 有耳可聽的，就應當聽！」 24 又說：「你
們所聽的要留心。你們用甚麼量器量給人，也必用甚麼量器量給你
們，並且要多給你們。 25 因為有的，還要給他；沒有的，連他所
有的也要奪去。」

默想：
1.耶穌在馬太福音六章3-4節，教導我們：「你施捨的時候，不
要叫左手知道右手所做的，要叫你施捨的事行在暗中。你父在
暗中察看，必然報答你」。

2.但是耶穌在這段經文中卻講到，我們暗中所做的一切，不論是
好是壞，都要顯露出來。「不張揚自己的善行和品德」，和「
我們在暗中所做一切掩藏、隱瞞的事，都被顯露出來」，這兩
件事有什麼關連？這對我們不將善行張揚出來，有什麼幫助？

3.繼續昨天的默想，甘心地作主默默無聞的門徒，求主幫助我，
「不要叫左手知道右手所做的」。

今日箴言：5:1-2
1 我兒，要留心我智慧的話語，側耳聽我聰明的言辭， 2 為要使
你謹守謀略，嘴唇保存知識。

 

Mark 4
21He said to them, “Do you bring in a lamp to put it under a bowl or a bed?
Instead, don’t you put it on its stand?
22For whatever is hidden is meant to be
disclosed, and whatever is concealed is meant to be brought out into the open.
23If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”
24″Consider carefully what you hear,”
he continued. “With the measure you use, it will be measured to you—and even
more.25Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what he
has will be taken from him.”

Meditation
1. In Matthew 6:3-4, Jesus taught us: “But when you give to the needy, do
not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your
giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in
secret, will reward you.”

2. However, in this paragraph, it is talking about all of our secrets – good
and bad – being revealed. What is the connection between keeping
good deeds and qualities, and having all of our secrets revealed? Does
this motivate us to be quiet about the good works that we do?

3. Continue the meditation from yesterday to be willing to be a quiet
disciple of Jesus. Lord, help me so that I will “not let (my) left hand
know what (my) right hand is doing” (Matt 6:3).

Proverbs for Today: 5:1-2
1My son, be attentive to my wisdom;
incline your ear to my understanding,
2that you may keep discretion,
and your lips may guard knowledge.

第三章
13 耶穌上了山，隨自己的意思叫人來；他們便來到他那裡。 14 他
就設立十二個人，要他們常和自己同在，也要差他們去傳道， 15
並給他們權柄趕鬼。 16 這十二個人有西門（耶穌又給他起名叫彼
得）， 17 還有西庇太的兒子雅各和雅各的兄弟約翰（又給這兩個
人起名叫半尼其，就是雷子的意思）， 18 又有安得烈、腓力、巴
多羅買、馬太、多馬、亞勒腓的兒子雅各、和達太，並奮銳黨的西
門， 19 還有賣耶穌的加略人猶大。

默想：
1.耶穌的十二個門徒當中，我們所熟悉，就是幾位較出名（或惡
名昭彰）的門徒，但其他的門徒聖經並未多作記載，我們對他
們也都一無所知。他們雖然與彼得、約翰、雅各一樣，有三年
多的時間與耶穌一起，得到耶穌的教導與關愛，同樣奉命出去
傳道、醫病、趕鬼，但是在聖經和教會的歷史中，卻似乎是亟
亟無名的小卒。

2.在你學習成為耶穌門徒的過程中，或會受邀擔任受人矚目的工
作或崗位；然而，大多數的時候，做主的門徒就是忠心辦理不
受人留意、只有神才注意的一些基督徒的例行事奉。

3.在教會中，小組裡，家庭中，或是公司，與親友來往中，你有
沒有留意到一些默默無聞的服事者？這個星期找機會向他們表
示感激，一個微笑、說一聲謝謝。

4.你是否願意做一個默默無聞的主的門徒？有什麼服事是不受人
注意，但卻是實際的服事？求主幫助你甘心也安心的在日常生
活中，在不為人注意的事上，忠心地作主的門徒。

今日箴言：4:24-27
24 你要除掉邪僻的口，棄絕乖謬的嘴。 25 你的眼目要向前正
看，你的眼睛當向前直觀。 26 要修平你腳下的路，堅定你一
切的道， 27 不可偏向左右，要使你的腳離開邪惡。

 

Mark 3
13Jesus went up on a mountainside and called to him those he wanted, and they
came to him.
14He appointed twelve—designating them apostles—that they
might be with him and that he might send them out to preach
15and to have authority to drive out demons.
16 These are the twelve he appointed: Simon (to
whom he gave the name Peter
17 James son of Zebedee and his brother John (to
them he gave the name Boanerges, which means Sons of Thunder);
18Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus,
Simon the Zealot
19 and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.

Meditation
1. We know a few of the more famous (and infamous) disciples, but there
are many in this list we know nothing about at all. Though they were
also with Jesus for more than three years, received teachings and care
from Jesus, were commanded to preach, heal, and cast out demons.
However, they remains to be the unnoticed in the Bible and in the
church history.

2. In our own discipleship, we may be asked to do some work or to take a
stand that gets noticed by others. But often discipleship consists of
faithfulness in the small, even mundane acts of Christian service
perhaps unnoticed by all except God.

3. Are you aware of any unnoticed servers at church, home, the office or
any other places? Look for an opportunity to show appreciation, a smile,
or a thank you to these people.

4. Are you willing to be an unnoticed disciple of Christ? Is there any
behind-the-scene work that needs to be done? Ask the Lord to give you
the willingness to do the not-easily-noticed services faithfully even
without people’s recognition or appreciation.

then all your ways will be sure.
27Do not swerve to the right or to the left;
turn your foot away from evil.

第二章
1過了些日子，耶穌又進了迦百農。人聽見他在房子裡， 2 就有許
多人聚集，甚至連門前都沒有空地；耶穌就對他們講道。 3 有人
帶著一個癱子來見耶穌，是用四個人抬來的； 4 因為人多，不得
近前，就把耶穌所在的房子，拆了房頂，既拆通了，就把癱子連所
躺臥的褥子都縋下來。 5 耶穌見他們的信心，就對癱子說：「小
子，你的罪赦了。」 6 有幾個文士坐在那裡，心裡議論，說： 7
「這個人為甚麼這樣說呢？他說僭妄的話了。除了神以外，誰能赦
罪呢？」 8 耶穌心中知道他們心裡這樣議論，就說：「你們心裡為
甚麼這樣議論呢？ 9 或對癱子說『你的罪赦了』，或說『起來！拿
你的褥子行走』；哪一樣容易呢？ 10 但要叫你們知道，人子在地
上有赦罪的權柄。」就對癱子說： 11 「我吩咐你，起來！拿你的
褥子回家去吧。」 12 那人就起來，立刻拿著褥子，當眾人面前出
去了，以致眾人都驚奇，歸榮耀與神，說：「我們從來沒有見過這
樣的事！」

默想：
1.神呼召我們不僅要拯救、塑造我們；並要我們彼此支持形成信
仰群體，且幫助他人也得到神的醫治、獲得健全的人生；正如
癱子的四位朋友，協力幫助他得著醫治一樣。

2.禱告：親愛的主，我很羨慕這四位朋友與癱子之間彼此親愛、
不計代價地互相支持的關係；我也希望我的小組組員們，也能
藉著互相的幫助扶持，得到主在我們身體上、情感上、靈性
上、生活上……的醫治。

又得了醫全體的良藥。 23 你要保守你心，勝過保守一切，因
為一生的果效是由心發出。

Mark 2
1A few days later, when Jesus again entered Capernaum, the people heard that
he had come home.2So many gathered that there was no room left, not even
outside the door, and he preached the word to them.
3Some men came, bringingto him a paralytic, carried by four of them.
4Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus and, after
digging through it, lowered the mat the paralyzed man was lying on.
5When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”
6 Now some teachers of the law were sitting there, thinking to themselves,
7 “Why does this fellow talk like that? He’s blaspheming! Who can
forgive sins but God alone?”
8Immediately Jesus knew in his spirit that this was
what they were thinking in their hearts, and he said to them, “Why are you
thinking these things?9Which is easier: to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are
forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up, take your mat and walk’?
10But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins . . . .” He said to the
paralytic,11″I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home.”
12He got up, took his mat and walked out in full view of them all. This amazed everyone and they
praised God, saying, “We have never seen anything like this!”

Meditation
1. God has called us not only to individual spiritual formation, but to be
formed into communities of faith too. We pray for one another and
work for the healing and wholeness of others, just as this paralytic’s
four friends help him receive the healing he needs.

2. Prayer: Dear Lord, how I desire the mutual love, care and sacrificial
support between this paralytic and his friends. I hope that there will be
similar relationships between me and my cell members so that we may
all receive healings in our body, emotion, spiritual life, daily life……

23Keep your heart with all vigilance,

第一章
14 約翰下監以後，耶穌來到加利利，宣傳神的福音， 15 說：「日
期滿了，神的國近了。你們當悔改，信福音！」 16 耶穌順著加利
利的海邊走，看見西門和西門的兄弟安得烈在海裡撒網；他們本是
打魚的。 17 耶穌對他們說：「來跟從我，我要叫你們得人如得魚
一樣。」 18 他們就立刻捨了網，跟從了他。 19 耶穌稍往前走，
又見西庇太的兒子雅各和雅各的兄弟約翰在船上補網。 20 耶穌隨
即招呼他們，他們就把父親西庇太和雇工人留在船上，跟從耶穌去
了。

默想：
1.耶穌的門徒不是一遇見耶穌便已一步登天成是信心的偉人，他
們的信心和對主的委身，與所有信徒一樣，是逐步塑造而成
的。這四位門徒經過一段時間，才能理解耶穌當時對他們所作
的呼召；但他們四人都不約而同地立刻跟從了耶穌。

2.今天，主耶穌依然呼召門徒去傳福音、跟隨主，你是否聽到祂
的呼召？你還有什麼牽制、掛慮，使你不願、或不能跟隨主？

3.花些時間靜默在主前，思想那些攔阻我跟隨主的牽掛，將它們
一一寫下來，並將每一項逐一的告訴主，等候主對我說話。聽
見什麼嗎？在這一天中，繼續和主對話，並繼續聆聽，對話，
聆聽。。。

的光，越照越明，直到日午。 19 惡人的道好像幽暗，自己不
知因什麼跌倒。

Mark 1

 ¹⁴After John was put in prison, Jesus went into Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God.

¹⁵“The time has come,” he said. “The kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe the good news!”

¹⁶As Jesus walked beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net into

the lake, for they were fishermen. ¹⁷“Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.”

¹⁸At once, they left their nets and followed him.  ¹⁹When he had gone a little farther, he saw James son

of Zebedee and his brother John in a boat, preparing their nets. ²⁰Without delay he called them,

and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men and followed him.

Meditation

1.Jesus’ disciples didn’t become faith giants once they met Jesus.  Their faith and commitment grew step

by step, just like all believers. They didn’t understand Jesus’ calling then but they all responded by following Him immediately.

2.Jesus is still calling disciples who have the same urgency for spreading the gospel and following Jesus.
Do you hear his calling?   What is it that is holding you from following the Lord?

3.Stay silent before the Lord. Think of the obstacles that are holding you back.  Write them down one by one.

Tell them to the Lord.  Wait and listen to what the Lord is speaking.  Then, continue this conversation with the Lord throughout the day…

第廿七章
最好能將全章略讀一遍，再專注於以下經文段落：

45從午正到申初，遍地都黑暗了。46約在申初，耶穌大聲喊著說：「以利！
以利！拉馬撒巴各大尼？」就是說：「我的　神！我的　神！為甚麼離棄
我？」47站在那裏的人，有的聽見就說：「這個人呼叫以利亞呢！」48內中
有一個人趕緊跑去，拿海絨蘸滿了醋，綁在葦子上，送給他喝。49其餘的人
說：「且等著，看以利亞來救他不來。」50耶穌又大聲喊叫，氣就斷了。51
忽然，殿裏的幔子從上到下裂為兩半，地也震動，磐石也崩裂，52墳墓也開
了，已睡聖徒的身體多有起來的。53到耶穌復活以後，他們從墳墓裏出來，
進了聖城，向許多人顯現。54百夫長和一同看守耶穌的人看見地震並所經歷
的事，就極其害怕，說：「這真是　神的兒子了！」

默想：
1. 基督教信仰的中心，竟是我們的神極致的受辱，並忍受最深的痛苦。
祂自己的同胞要求處死祂，祂的朋友離棄祂，連最親密的父都轉面不顧
祂。

2. 花些時間用心與腦來深思，為什麼全能者要選擇這樣的道路。多讀幾遍
耶穌的話來貼近祂的經歷。

3. 你心中此時漲溢的是什麼？死亡？驚奇？難過？漠不關心？把從心中浮
上來的，一一告訴耶穌。輕輕地把自己拉回耶穌的犧牲與受死上，再讀
一遍經文。讓自己深深地沉浸在整個事件中，繼續體會自己的反應，再
繼續與主交談。

4. 今天找個安靜的地方去散步，或靜坐片刻，安靜默想基督為你的犧牲，
並等待接受祂要給你的恩典。

禱告與筆錄：
繼續安靜在神面前聆聽神，並將你的的思想、問題、觸動你的字、詞、圖
畫，或是與神的禱告，寫在你的靈程筆記簿上面。

今日箴言：4：10-12
10我兒，你要聽受我的言語，就必延年益壽。11我已指教你走智慧的
道，引導你行正直的路。12你行走，腳步必不致狹窄；你奔跑，也不致
跌倒。

Chapter 27
If possible, read the whole chapter to see the full picture of what is happening here.
Then focus on the following section:

45From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land. 46About
the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi lama sabachthani?”—
which means, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” 47When some of
those standing there heard this, they said, “He’s calling Elijah.” 48Immediately one
of them ran and got a sponge. He filled it with wine vinegar, put it on a stick, and
offered it to Jesus to drink. 49The rest said, “Now leave him alone. Let’s see if Elijah
comes to save him.” 50And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave
up his spirit. 51At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top
to bottom. The earth shook and the rocks split. 52The tombs broke open and the
bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. 53They came out of
the tombs, and after Jesus’ resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to
many people. 54When the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus
saw the earthquake and all that had happened, they were terrified, and exclaimed,
“Surely he was the Son of God!”

Meditation:
1. The central event of Christian faith is the incredible humiliation of our God. His
own people demanded his death, his friends deserted him. And now even his
loving Father has turned away.

2. Spend time wrestling with why the Almighty God would choose such a path.
Reread Jesus’ own words a few times to get closer to his experience.

3. What wells up inside you as you meditate on Jesus’ death? Tell Jesus about what
surfaces inside you. Read the passage again if needed. Allow yourself to sink
into the event deeply, being aware of your reaction and talking to Jesus about it.

4. Find a place to be silent. For example, walk in a quiet place or sit in an empty
church sanctuary. Continue meditate on Jesus’ sacrifice for you, and then wait
for what He would have you receive from Him.

Prayer & Journaling:
On your prayer journal, as you listen to God, write down a few thoughts, questions,
words, names, drawings, or anything that has come to your mind during this time.

Proverbs for Today: Prov 4:10-12

Family Time:
Disicuss the meaning of the veil of the temple being split in two. No longer must
persons go through a priest to talk to God. Jesus’ death on the cross made him
our intercessor. Have a time of prayer, encouraging each to thank God for Jesus,
whose death on the cross allows us to come to God with our requests.
