1. A rich young man asked Jesus what he must do to inherit eternal life. Jesus told him to sell his possessions and give to the poor.
2. The man went away sad because he had many possessions. Jesus then said it is hard for the rich to enter the kingdom of God.
3. The disciples were amazed at Jesus' words, but he reminded them how difficult it is for the rich to trust in God and not wealth.
10. 「我当做什么才可以承受永生?」
What must I do to inherit eternal life?
永生是与上帝和好之后的快乐与满足。
Eternal life is the happiness and fulfilment
after reconciliation with God.
13. 罗马书 Roman 1:17
义人必因你得生。
The righteous will live by faith.
「你还缺少一件,
就是变卖你所有的,分给穷人。」
One thing you lack, go,
sell everything you have and give
to the poor.
16. 如果一个人认为他的财产只是提供给他个人
的享受,他的财产就成为了一条必须断开的锁鍊。
If a person thinks that his property is for him
to enjoy alone, then his property will become
a chain that has to be cut off.
如果一个人把他的财富当作是帮助别人的工具,
他的财产就变成他的冠冕。
If a person uses his property as a tool to help
others, then his property will become his crown.
17. 上帝的生命最大的特徵,乃是上帝的爱。
The main characteristic of God’s life
is the love of God.
上帝的爱总是给予、牺牲和赦免。
God’s love is always to give,
sacrifice and forgiveness.
永生是领受上帝的爱之后,
並愿意过一个爱心的生活。
Eternal life is after receiving God’s love,
and willing to live a compassionate life.
18. 他的不幸是因为他爱钱财胜于爱人,
他爱自己胜于爱别人。
His unfortunate is because he loves money
more than humankind; he loves himself more
than others.
主耶稣从来没有强迫那些
凡来到祂面前的人去跟随祂!
Lord Jesus has never forced those
who come before Him to follow Him!
选择暂时,放弃永恆;选择今世,放弃永生。
Choose temporary, give up eternal;
choose the present life, give up eternal life.
