約櫃
[Exodus 37:1-9] Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood; two cubits and a half was its length, a cubit and a half its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height. He overlaid it with pure gold inside and outside, and made a molding of gold around it. And he cast for it four […]
施洗約翰
John the Baptist (Hebrew: יוחנן המטביל) is a significant figure in both Israeli history and Christianity. He was a prophet who appeared 400 years after the last book of the Old Testament, Malachi, was written. He is called “John the Baptist” because he preached repentance and baptized people in the Jordan River. About 700 years […]
新約
The Bible is composed of the Old and New Testaments. The New Testament is the second part of the Bible, containing the books written after the birth of Jesus. In AD 397, the Third Council of Carthage established the content and order of the New Testament, which includes 27 books. The content is divided into […]
禱告
Prayer is the act of praying. The word “pray” in English means “to ask” or “to express a wish.” Prayer is a believer’s deliberate communication with God to praise Him, pour out their heart, ask for things, seek His will, gain strength against the devil and temptation, confess sins, or simply express their thoughts or […]
阿門
“阿门”一词的使用,可见于《圣经》。亦作“阿们”,希伯来语“Amen”的译音,意为“真诚”,表示“诚心所愿、心愿如此、但愿如此”。 “阿门”最初用于犹太教,后来为基督教所采纳。基督徒常在祷告或赞美时,运用阿门作为总结和肯定。 在旧约中共用“阿门”22次,在新约中有51次。如”耶和华以色列的神是应当称颂的,从亘古直到永远。愿众民都说:阿们!”(诗篇106:48)。耶稣在启示录3:14中说:”那为阿们的,为诚信真实见证的,在神创造万物之上为元首的。” “阿门”是全世界基督徒都听得懂的两个语词之一(另一个是哈利路亚)。因为全世界任何语种的圣经中,都把这两个语词的译音保留下来。并在所有教会的祷告赞美中,很自然地直接应用。所以无论说什么方言语种的基督徒,在任何地方,只要开口呼出阿门(或哈利路亚),人就知道你是一个基督徒了。
初熟的果子
“Firstfruits” refers to the first part of a harvest to ripen. These firstfruits are the best of the harvest—they mature earliest and the fruit is large. The Old Testament records that the firstfruits were a gift to God, something that He delighted in. In the New Testament, Jesus Christ is the firstfruits offered to God […]
