08 April 2025 | Day 30- Tuesday of the 5th Week of Lent | 第三十天 – 四旬期第五周的星期二 by Ashley Khor

Readings for the day 每日读经:
 
John 8:21-30
圣若望福音 8:21-30
 
In today’s Gospel reading, I am reminded that I must trust in Jesus, the Son of God, to receive eternal life. Spiritual blindness leads to rejecting the truth—just like the Pharisees, who were confused about Jesus’ identity because they refused to accept His words.
 
I, too, sometimes struggle with doubts and pride that can prevent me from recognising God’s truth. As a follower of Christ, I need to embrace humility—just as Jesus did when He came down from heaven and became human to show us the way. The way of the Cross.
 
Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. This challenges me to trust in Him completely and to recognise Him as the true source of salvation—before it is too late.
 
Lord Jesus, thank you for revealing the truth and leading me to salvation. Keep me from spiritual blindness, and open my heart to understand and accept Your truth. Guide me daily to walk in Your ways, and help me to lead others to have faith in You. Amen.
 
Take a moment in prayer to ask the Lord: ‘What are You revealing to me through this Gospel?’ Be open to His voice and allow His Word to transform your heart.
 
今天的福音提醒我,我当信从耶稣,天主圣子以获得永生。如同法利塞人, 犯了灵修上的 失明, 以致盲目的拒绝相信真理。他们对耶稣的身份感到混淆,是因为他们拒绝接受祂的话语。
 
我也是如此,有时会挣扎于怀疑和自负而让我无法认识天主的真理。身为基督徒,我必须要谦卑 – 就如耶稣降生成人,为我们立了榜样, 背起十字架, 完成了苦路。
 
耶稣是道路、真理及生命。这挑战我全心全意信赖祂,并尽快领悟祂就是我获得救赎的根源 – 在为时已晚之前。
 
主耶稣,感谢祢以祢的真理启发我并引导我奔向祢的救赎。免我陷于灵修盲点,开启我心灵的眼目去了解及接受祢的真理。 指引我 , 让我每日都能按照祢的教导生活,同时也帮助我引领身边的人来信靠祢。阿们。
让我们静默祈祷,“主,祢藉着这段福音要告诉我什么信息呢?”我们打开心门聆听并接受主的声音,让主的话语改变我们的心。
