John 11: 45-56
圣若望福音 11: 45-56
In today’s Gospel reading, Jesus is showing us yet another sign that proves He is the true and living God. From this Scripture, I have learned that God has the power to turn death into life—both physically and spiritually. Even when a situation seems like the end, I must always remember that God has something greater in store for me. I should never doubt Him.
Another key lesson from this passage is that when Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, it demonstrated that He was no ordinary man. This miracle was so powerful that the Pharisees and chief priests plotted to kill Him. Yet, through this act, Jesus revealed His power over death. If He can bring the dead back to life, then He, too, will return in glory. That is why we must believe in Him, so that one day we may have eternal life in His Kingdom.
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.
在今天的福音中，耶稣再度证明祂是真实的活天主。从这段福音中我意识到天主有能力让我们的身心重生。即便是走投无路，我要常常记住天主会为我准备意想不到的结果，所以我不许怀疑祂。
这段福音的另外一个重点是，耶稣使拉匝禄复活，这个神迹要凸显耶稣并不是一个普通人。这是一个强而有力的神迹以致法利赛人及司祭长都计划杀害祂。透过这个举动，耶稣证明了祂有战胜死亡的能力，假如祂可以让人从死中复活，这样祂也将光荣的来临。这就是为什么我们要信从天主，这样将来有一天我们将会获得永生并居住在祂的国度里 。
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。
