1:1 亞伯拉罕的後裔，大衛的子孫〔後裔，子孫：原文是兒子；下同〕耶穌基督的家譜： A record of the genealogy of Jesus Christ the son of David, the son of Abraham:
1:2 亞伯拉罕生以撒；以撒生雅各；雅各生猶大和他的弟兄； Abraham was the father of Isaac, Isaac the father of Jacob, Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers, 1:3 猶大從她瑪氏生法勒斯和謝拉；法勒斯生希斯崙；希斯崙生亞蘭； Judah the father of Perez and Zerah, whose mother was Tamar, Perez the father of Hezron, Hezron the father of Ram, 1:4 亞蘭生亞米拿達；亞米拿達生拿順；拿順生撒門； Ram the father of Amminadab, Amminadab the father of Nahshon, Nahshon the father of Salmon, 1:5 撒門從喇合氏生波阿斯；波阿斯從路得氏生俄備得；俄備得生耶西； Salmon the father of Boaz, whose mother was Rahab, Boaz the father of Obed, whose mother was Ruth, Obed the father of Jesse, 1:6 耶西生大衛王。大衛從烏利亞的妻子生所羅門； and Jesse the father of King David.David was the father of Solomon, whose mother had been Uriah's wife, 1:7 所羅門生羅波安；羅波安生亞比雅；亞比雅生亞撒； Solomon the father of Rehoboam, Rehoboam the father of Abijah, Abijah the father of Asa, 1:8 亞撒生約沙法；約沙法生約蘭；約蘭生烏西雅； Asa the father of Jehoshaphat, Jehoshaphat the father of Jehoram, Jehoram the father of Uzziah, 1:9 烏西雅生約坦；約坦生亞哈斯；亞哈斯生希西家； Uzziah the father of Jotham, Jotham the father of Ahaz, Ahaz the father of Hezekiah, 1:10 希西家生瑪拿西；瑪拿西生亞們；亞們生約西亞； Hezekiah the father of Manasseh, Manasseh the father of Amon, Amon the father of Josiah, 1:11 百姓被遷到巴比倫的時候，約西亞生耶哥尼雅和他的弟兄。 and Josiah the father of Jeconiah (\f1 1:11 That is, Jehoiachin; also in verse 12) and his brothers at the time of the exile to Babylon. 1:12 遷到巴比倫以後，耶哥尼雅生撒拉鐵；撒拉鐵生所羅巴伯； After the exile to Babylon: Jeconiah was the father of Shealtiel, Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel, 1:13 所羅巴伯生亞比玉；亞比玉生以利亞敬；以利亞敬生亞所； Zerubbabel the father of Abiud, Abiud the father of Eliakim, Eliakim the father of Azor, 1:14 亞所生撒督；撒督生亞金；亞金生以律； Azor the father of Zadok, Zadok the father of Akim, Akim the father of Eliud, 1:15 以律生以利亞撒；以利亞撒生馬但；馬但生雅各； Eliud the father of Eleazar, Eleazar the father of Matthan, Matthan the father of Jacob, 1:16 雅各生約瑟，就是馬利亞的丈夫。那稱為基督的耶穌是從馬利亞生的。 and Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ. 1:17 這樣，從亞伯拉罕到大衛共有十四代；從大衛到遷至巴比倫的時候也有十四代；從遷至巴比倫的時候到基督又有十四代。 Thus there were fourteen generations in all from Abraham to David, fourteen from David to the exile to Babylon, and fourteen from the exile to the Christ. (\f2 1:17 Or|i Messiah|d. <<The Christ>> (Greek) and <<the Messiah>>(Hebrew) both mean <<the Anointed One.>>) 1:18 耶穌基督降生的事記在下面：他母親馬利亞巳經許配了約瑟，還沒有迎娶，馬利亞就從聖靈懷了孕。 This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit. 1:19 她丈夫約瑟是個義人，不願意明明地羞辱她，想要暗暗地把她休了。 Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly. 1:20 正思念這事的時候，有主的使者向他夢中顯現，說：「大衛的子孫約瑟，不要怕！只管娶過你的妻子馬利亞來，因她所懷的孕是從聖靈來的。 But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, <<Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 1:21 她將要生一個兒子，你要給他起名叫耶穌，因他要將自己的百姓從罪惡裏救出來。」 She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, (\f3 1:21 |iJesus|d is the Greek form of|i Joshua|d, which means|i the Lord saves|d.) because he will save his people from their sins.>> 1:22 這一切的事成就是要應驗主藉先知所說的話， All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: 1:23 說：「必有童女懷孕生子；人要稱他的名為以馬內利。」（以馬內利翻出來就是「 神與我們同在」。） <<The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel>>(\f4 1:23 Isaiah 7:14)--which means, <<God with us.>> 1:24 約瑟醒了，起來，就遵著主使者的吩咐把妻子娶過來； When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife. 1:25 只是沒有和她同房，等她生了兒子〔有古卷：等她生了頭胎的兒子〕，就給他起名叫耶穌。 But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus.

十二月一日 「這樣看來，必另有一安息，為神的子民存留。」希伯來書四章9節（直譯） 「耶和華……使他們四境平安……耶和華把一仇敵都交在他們手中。」約書亞記廿一章44節 一位著名的事奉主的工人告訢我們他母親的故事： 他的母親是一位非常多憂多慮的基督人。他常花數小時和她談話，要想叫她看見煩惱是一個罪，但是一點沒有用處。她曾飽經許多苦楚，特別是那些從未來臨的。 一天早晨，他母親下樓來吃早餐；滿面笑容，和平常大不相同。他心中非常詫異就問她甚麼事情叫她這樣喜樂；她告訴他……夜間她做了一個奇異的夢。 夢中她和一大群疲倦、背重擔的人，同在一條大路上行走。他們背上都背著許多黑色的包裹；她看見許多形狀可憎的惡魔把那些黑色的包裹撒在地上，讓人們去拾起來背著。 她自己也像別人一樣，背著那些無須背的重擔，覺得非常苦重。過了一會，她抬起頭來，看見一位人子，帶著一個榮耀的慈顏，在人群中走來走去，安慰人們。 最後那位人子走到她身邊來了；她仔細一看，原來是她的主。她仰起頭來告訴祂非常疲倦，祂帶著一個憂愁的笑容對她說； 「親愛的孩子，這些重擔並不是我給你的；你用不著去背它們。它們是魔鬼給你的，魔鬼要把你的命壓出來，你知道麼？所以你只要將它們丟下來，連你的手指也不去摸一摸，你就會覺得道路容易了，你也會覺得像生了翅膀一樣。」 祂用手一摸，看哪，平安和喜樂充滿了她的全身；她把她的重擔一擲，正想倒在祂腳前感謝祂，她突然醒了，發覺她一切的掛慮都消失了。從這天起，直到她死的日子，她成了全家最喜樂的一個人。 黑夜瀰漫著樂聲， 白晝的憂慮， 會像阿拉伯人捲起營帳， 悄悄地離去。 ─朗非羅

December 1 "There remaineth, therfore, a rest to the people of God."(Heb. 4:9.) The rest includes victory, "And the Lord gave them rest round about;……the Lord delivered all their enemics into their hand." (Joshua 21:44) "He will beautify the meek with victory." (Psalm 149:4)(Rotherham, margin) Ａn eminent Christian worker tells of his mother who was a very anxious and troubled Christian. He would talk with her by the hour trying to convince her of the sinfulness of fretting, but to no avail. She was like the old lady who once said she had suffered so much, especially from the troubles that never came. But one morning the mother came down to breakfast wreathed in smiles. He asked her what had happened, and she told him that in the night she had a dream. She was walking along a highway with a great crowd of people who seemed so tired and burdened. They were nearly all carrying little black bundles, and she noticed that there were numerous repulsive looking beings which she thought were demons dropping these black bundles for the people to pick up and carry. Like the rest, she too had her needless load, and was weighed down with the devil's bundles. Looking up, after a while, she saw a Man with a bright and loving face, passing hither and thither through the crowd, and comforting the people. At last He came near her, and she saw that it was her Saviour. She looked up and told Him how tired she was, and He smiled sadly and said: "My dear child, I did not give you these loads; you have no need of them. They are the devil's burdens and they are wearing out your life. Just drop them; refuse to touch them with one of your fingers and you will find the path easy and you will be as if borne on eagle's wings." He touched her hand, and lo, peace and joy thrilled her frame and, flinging down her burden, she was about to throw herself at His feet in joyful thanksgiving, when suddenly she awoke and found that all her cares were gone. From that day to the close of her life she was the most cheerful and happy member of the household. And the night shall be filled with music, And the cares that infest the day, Shall fold their tents like the Arabs, And as silently steal away. －Longfellow.

十二月一日 信和愛 「神的命令就是要叫我們信祂兒子耶穌基督的名，且照祂所賜給我們的命令彼此相愛。」約翰壹書三章23節 當主日晚間禮拜結束後，在葛拉夫雷特舉行一場會議，我們決定在下午聚會中從約翰福音十五章之葡萄樹和枝子的比喻中，傳講五個重要的教訓；而講這個弟兄相愛的主題是落在一位多年從事傳道人的身上，但他卻躊躇地說：「我從未講過這類信息，所以不能勝任。」 他解釋道：「你們都知道我是在荷蘭求學，在那兒，弟兄相愛的主題只有在自由教區被引用；因為他們相信神是絕對公義，卻不信基督的救贖。神的愛在那兒是夠用的，而在正統教區是不許可講此類信息，否則即遭被逐的命運。不！所有的必須生於愛中。總而言之，正統教區是以信為主題，而自由教區卻以愛為主題。」 其實，教會不只要宣講神救贖的愛，也要教導如何衷心地愛基督並向世人顯出愛心，這是主所賜下的新命令：「世人也可因此看出我們是主的門徒。」傳講愛是絕對必要的，神有時許可將苦難臨到，使基督徒因從心中看出罪惡可怕的權勢而退縮。基督詔示「彼此相愛」的命令對傳道人和祂的子民是何等重要，我們若以基督的愛去愛人，必能活出聖潔的生活。但願讀者們能瞭解並彰顯神和基督藉聖靈對我們的愛，在主和弟兄身上。

十二月一日 律法與福音 「因為凡遵守全律法的，只在一條上跌倒，他就是犯了眾條。」雅各書二章10節 道德律全不以為我們是軟弱的人類，不顧我們的遺傳和缺點，所要求於我們的是絕對道德。道德律對於最貴的，或最賤的永是一樣，絕不改變。神所設的道德律，對於弱者不變弱，也不掩飾我們的短處，永遠是絕對的。如果我們不感覺這個，就是因為我們沒有覺悟；我們一旦覺悟，我們的生命變成一種慘劇，「我以前沒有律法，是活著的，但是誡命來到，罪又活了，我就死了。」當我們感覺這個的時候，神的靈就叫我們為罪自責。一個人不到那個絕望的地步，絕難感覺耶穌基督十字架的香味。為罪自責，總是使人發生畏法之感，使人沒有希望，「已賣給罪了。」我這個有罪的人，絕不能與神發生正當的關係，也是不可能的。只有一法，那就是藉著耶穌基督的死，才能與神發生正當的關係。我必得除掉藉著服從而與神發生正當關係的思想──我們那一個能藉著服從，而與神發生正當關係呢！ 道德律的能力，是與「若是」同來的。神從不強逼我們如此如彼。在某種情形中，我們希望祂為我們做某某事；在另一種情形中，我們又希望祂不干涉我們。但於神旨意得勝之時，一切的強迫都沒有了。我們自願服從祂的時候，祂就用全力使遠星和最後的一粒沙來維護我們。

十二月一日 「……因為祂如何，我們在這世上也如何。」約翰一書四章17節 我們若順服，耶穌必會進入我們的生命裡，與我們合一，並且把祂的生命及神性賜給我們。每一天，祂會賜給我們靈裡的需要，做我們隨時的幫助。 我們該做的，不過是單純地順服祂，承認我們算不得什麼，讓耶穌時刻住在我們裡面，成為我們的力量、聖潔以及勝利。 主耶穌雖曾被釘十架， 但是祂已從死裡復活。 也因此我不再受咒詛， 甚至有榮耀主的自由。 在主庇蔭下我得站立， 並得以奉祂的名禱告。 祂所要求的一切價值， 我能靠信心完全得著。 祂所有的都將是我的， 我且要像祂一樣聖潔。 穿著榮耀潔白的袍子， 我將永遠地像主一樣。
