讀 經：使徒行傳17章22－31節
金 句：「他是神所立定的，要作審判活人死人的主。」（使徒行傳10章42節）
全年讀經：使徒行傳15章1節－18章11節
沒有人可以逃避耶穌基督，我們要麼接受他作為我們的救主，要麼就在他面前接受最後的審判。
在《格雷與亞當斯註釋集》（Gray and Adams Commentary） 中有一個小故事，講到一個醫生「在宗教議題上把醜化基督的品格與尊嚴視為要務。」他相當鄙視這位救主，每次提到他都用很輕蔑的態度稱他：「木匠的兒子」。
後來這個醫生病得很嚴重。他在死前的幾周裡，變得很焦灼不安。他對去探望他的人說：「我快死了，現在讓我最煩惱的事就是那個木匠的兒子將審判我！」
那位醫生面對可怕的將來，也是所有拒絕接受基督的人會碰到的。然而，在他最後清醒的時刻，如果他願意接受耶穌為救主，他仍然能經歷平安，並得到永恆的救恩。
你如何看待基督呢？記住「木匠的兒子」就是「上帝的兒子」，即「道成肉身」。現在就信靠他。你會得到救恩的祝福--而不是咒詛的審判（約翰福音3章17節）RWD
你將如何待耶穌？
你不能保持中立；
有一天，你將問：
「他將如何待我？」Simpson
每個人都必須選擇~基督
The Carpenter Judge
Read: Acts 17:22-31
It is He who was ordained by God to be Judge of the living and the dead. –Acts 10:42
Bible In One Year:
Acts 15:1-18:11
Jesus Christ is the Inescapable One. We must either receive Him in this life as our loving Savior or stand before Him in the life to come as our eternal Judge.
There's a story in the Gray and Adams Commentary about a doctor who "made it his chief concern in matters of religion to degrade the character and dignity of Christ." He viewed the Savior with so much contempt that he always spoke of Him in a demeaning way by calling Him ''the carpenter's son."
In time the physician became terminally ill. During the weeks before his death, he became very agitated. He remarked to the person who was attending him, "I'm a dying man, and what affects me most of all is that I must be judged by the carpenter's son!"
That doctor faced the terrible future that awaits all who reject Christ. Yet, even in his last conscious moments, if he had trusted Him as his Savior he could have found peace and received eternal salvation.
How have you been treating Christ? Remember, "the carpenter's son" is the Son of God, the "Word made flesh." Trust Him today! You will receive the blessing of salvation–not the sentence of condemnation (Jn. 3:17). –RWD
What will you do with Jesus?
Neutral you cannot be;
Someday your heart will be asking,
"What will He do with me?" –Simpson
Everyone must choose–Christ or condemnation!
