Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,”…
And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look!
God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will
dwell with them...4 ‘He will wipe every tear from their
eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying
or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.

啟示錄:
21:1 我又看見一個新天新地...

21:4 神要擦去他們一切的眼淚.不再有死亡、也不再有悲哀、哭號、疼痛、因為以前的事都過去了。
Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as
clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the
Lamb down the middle of the great street of the city. On each
side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops
of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the
tree are for the healing of the nations. No longer will
there be any curse.. Revelation 22:1-5”
啟示錄:
22:11天使又指示我在城內街道當中一道生命水的河、明亮如水晶、從 神和羔羊的寶座流出來。
22:2在河這邊與那邊有生命樹、結十二樣果子、〔樣或作回〕每月都結果子.樹上的葉子乃為醫治萬民。
22:3以後再沒有咒詛...

Application/Discussion Questions
應用/問題討論
1. In Gethsemane Jesus stumbled, fell and was
“overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death.” Is
it refreshing to know that it’s not unspiritual to be
troubled, distressed or overwhelmed? Had you ever
thought of Jesus this way? Have you ever fallen on
your face in prayer, like Jesus, and poured your heart
out to your Father?
在客西馬尼園裡,耶穌掙扎,軟弱,以致“心裡甚是憂傷、幾乎要死。“ 當您知道了您所感受到的憂愁,煩惱,或是心力交瘁並非不屬靈,是否更新了您的想法?您可曾想過耶穌也曾經歷過這些嗎?在您的禱告裡,您是否像耶穌一樣,將您的心完全傾倒於父神面前。
2. God desires to bring unimaginable good from your
unbearable pain. Surrender is the key that unlocks
our pain to be used in God’s good plans. Take a
moment to dream about potential ministries God
might create or people God might help through your
suffering-surrendered.
神渴望讓您從無法忍受的痛苦中嚐到意想不到的甜美。降服於神是開啟將我們的痛苦轉換成為神美善計劃的鑰匙。花一些時間想一想,透過您降服於神,神可能借用您所承受的痛苦來幫助別人。
3. Will you pray the following prayer from your heart?
“God, even if this suffering does not go away or get
better in this life, I will surrender. I will begin seeking
the greater accomplishment You desire to work
through this. Use me in Your plan!”
您是否願意從您的心裡做以下的禱告? ”親愛的神,即使我的痛苦在此生不會消失也不會改善,我也願意降服於神。我願意開始尋求神,透過這個痛苦來成就神更大的事工。願我在神的計劃中能為神所用。
