TTOF Reminder for December 2022

圣诞奇迹是一个名叫玛丽的处女所生的孩子的故事。 耶稣违背自然法由童女马利亚所生。

小时候，耶稣生活贫困，默默无闻地长大。 他没有广泛旅行； 只有一次他离开了他出生的国家，在他的童年时期，他为了逃命逃到了埃及，以逃避希律王杀死两岁以下的孩子的计划。

他既没有财富也没有影响力。 他的亲戚不起眼，没有影响力，既没有受过训练也没有受过正规教育。

在婴儿期，他开始超过青少年。
童年时，他开始对医生过度迷惑。
在成年时期，他统治着自然进程。 他走在加利利海的波涛上，仿佛它们是驯兽师。 他说话，波浪就静止了。 他用三个简单的词“和平，静止！”使汹涌的大海平静下来。
他不用药物就医好了很多人，而且他的服务不收取任何费用。

他从未写过一本书，但他拥有世界上所有的图书馆，无法容纳所有关于他的书籍来解释他辉煌的一生。

他从未写过一首歌，但他为所有歌曲作者写过的更多歌曲提供了主题。

他从未创办过一所大学，但所有学校加在一起都不能夸耀拥有与这个人一样多的学生。

他从未行医，但他治愈了最破碎的心，胜过远近所有的医生。

他从来没有指挥过军队，也没有征召过士兵，也没有开过枪，但数百万人带着超乎所有人理解的平静跟随了他。

每个安息日，寻求者的轮子都在转动，许多人找到他们的位置到一个礼拜的地方，在主耶稣基督面前屈膝。

希腊和罗马昔日引以为豪的名字来了又去，但这个人的名字却越来越多。

时过境迁，从我们这一代人到他被钉十字架的场景已经过去了两千年，但他仍然充满力量和荣耀。

让我们阅读数学 1:18-21
18 弥赛亚耶稣的诞生是这样的：他的母亲马利亚已经许配给约瑟，但他们还没有结婚，她就因圣灵怀孕了。
19 因为她丈夫约瑟谨守律法，不愿公开羞辱她，就想悄悄地休她。
20 他思量这事以后，主的使者在梦中向他显现，说：“大卫的儿子约瑟，不要害怕，娶你的妻子马利亚为妻，因为她所怀的孕是从圣 精神。
21 她要生一个儿子，你要给他起名叫耶稣，因为他要把自己的百姓从罪恶中救出来。”

圣诞节是对孩子的庆祝。

以赛亚书 9:6 因有一婴孩为我们而生，有一子赐给我们，政权必担在他的肩头上。 祂名称为奇妙策士、全能的神、永在的父、和平的君。

从上面的经文，让我们关注他的名字。 凭借他的成就，他的名字超乎万物之上。

世俗指挥官历史上授予自己的所有冠冕堂皇的头衔都是为了满足他们的虚荣心和自我。

亚历山大大帝是一个冠冕堂皇的称号，死因不明亡 ，享年 32 岁。 他之所以不伟大，是因为他无法安慰自己。

希律大帝是一个崇高的头衔，指的是一个谋杀了很多他的妻子和孩子。 在他死的那天，他命令他的王国处死他的长子，让以色列有理由哀悼。 以色列恨希律，因为他像一个拥有崇高头衔的怪物，却是一个冷血的杀手。 大希律王在地狱之火中尖叫求饶的那一天？他是伟大吗？明显不是。

有一个人走过人类历史的舞台，他的伟大超过了人的语言所能表达的。 他是自有永有的； 他是伟大的医生； 他是引导和供应的大牧羊人。

在人类历史上，从来没有一个孩子是从处女腹中由永生神所生的； 但耶稣是。

人类历史上从来没有一个人被撒但打伤，却在十字架上把撒但打碎了； 但耶稣做到了。

人类历史上从来没有救人的人，还被人钉在十字架上； 但耶稣是。

从来没有一个人死了，埋葬了，第三天又照他说的复活了； 但耶稣做到了。

亚伯拉罕的坟墓在以色列，他还在那里。 大卫王的坟墓在以色列，他仍然在那里。 但耶稣基督在以色列的坟墓是空的； 他不在那里。 耶稣基督墓是唯一一个人排队什么也看不到的旅游景点。

在这个圣诞节期间，你生命中最大的问题不是你的树上有什么，而是你知道耶稣基督是为你和我的救赎而死在草书树上的救世主。

你接受他做救主了吗？ 你服侍他吗？ 圣经说：“万膝当跪拜，万口当承认耶稣基督是主，是上帝的荣耀”。

耶稣现在就在这里。 他的名字“Emanuel”意为“上帝与我们同在”。 他在呼唤你的名字。 他可以救你。 没有其他人可以拯救你。 他可以医治你，因为他是伟大的医生。 他会救你的。 国王统治！ 他活着！ 他将带着大能、荣耀、尊贵和大能归于耶稣基督的名。 哈利路亚阿门！

今天，祂为上帝所宣告，为天使所承认，为圣徒所敬拜。 他是我们的喜乐、我们的盼望和我们永远的救恩。 你接受他做你的救主了吗？

Christmas miracle is the story of a child that was born to a virgin named Mary. Jesus was born to the virgin Mary contrary to the law of nature.

As a child, Jesus lived in poverty and raised in obscurity. He did not travel extensively; only once he leaves the country in which he was born when during his childhood, he ran for his life into Egypt to escape King Herod’s plan of killing two years old and younger.

He possessed neither wealth nor influence. His relatives were inconspicuous, uninfluential, and had neither training nor formal education.

In infancy he starts over-teen.

In childhood, he starts over-puzzle over the doctors.

In manhood he ruled the course of nature. He walked upon the billows of the sea of Galilee as if they were tamers. He spoke and the waves were still. He silenced the raging sea with three simple words “Peace, be still!”.

He healed the multitudes without medicines and made no charge for his service.

He never wrote a book but he had all the libraries of the world that can not hold the books that have been written about him to explain his glorious life.

He never wrote a song and yet he furnished the theme for more songs that all the song writers have ever written combined.

He never founded a college yet all the schools put together can not boast having as many students as this man.

He never practiced medicine and yet he had healed the most broken hearts than all the doctors far and near.

He never marshaled an army nor drafted a soldier nor fired a gun and yet millions have followed him with peace that surpass all understanding.

Every Sabbath day the wheels of comers seekers turning, multitudes find their place to a place of worship to bow their knees before the Lord Jesus Christ.

The names of past proud states of Greece and Rome has come and gone, but the name of this man abounds more and more.

Through times, we have passed two thousands years between our generations and the scene of his crucifixion and yet he lives with power and great glory.

Let’s read Math 1:18-21

18 This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit.

19 Because Joseph her husband was faithful to the law, and yet did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly.

20 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.

21 She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”

Christmas is a celebration of a child.

Isaiah 9:6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

From the above scripture, let us focus on his name. His name is above every name by virtue of his accomplishment.

All high sounding titles which earthly commanders has given themselves historicly were given to gratify their vanity and their ego.

Alexander The Great is the high sounding title for a man who died at age 32 with unknown decease. He was not great because he could not comfort himself.

Herod The Great is a lofty title for a man who murdered many wives and his children. On the day he died, he ordered his kingdom to execute his oldest son so that Israel has a reason to mourn. Israel hates the Herod because he was like a monster with a lofty title but he was a cold-blooded killer. The day he screamed for mercy in the fire of hell, Is Herod The Great? Obviously not.

There is one man who walks across the stage of human history whose greatness is greater than the human tongue can tell. He is the Great I Am; He is the Great Physician; He is the Great Shepard who guides and provides.

Never in the human history there was a child that was born of a living God from the womb of a virgin; but Jesus was.

Never in the human history there was a man who was wounded by Satan and yet he crushed Satan at the cross; but Jesus did.

Never in the human history there was a savior of men and yet he was crucified by men; but Jesus was.

Never there was a man who died and buried and yet rose again on the third day as he said he would; but Jesus did.

The tomb of Abraham is in Israel and he is still there. The tomb of King David is in Israel and he is still there. But the tomb of Jesus Christ in Israel is empty; he is NOT there. The tomb of Jesus Christ is the only tourist attraction where people lining up to see nothing.

The greatest question of your life in this Christmas season is not what on your tree but do you know Jesus Christ the savior who died on the cursive tree for your salvation and for mine.

Have you accept him as savior Lord? Do you serve him? The Bible says “Every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord and the glory of God”.

Jesus is here right now. His name “Emanuel” means “God is with Us”. He is calling your name. He can save you. There is no one else that can save you. He can heal you because he is the great physician. He will deliver you. The King rules! He lives! He is coming again with great power, glory, honor and power to the name of Jesus Christ. Hallelujah Amen!

Today, He is proclaimed of God, acknowledged by angels, and adored by saints. He is our joy, our hope, and our eternal salvation. Have you accept him as savior Lord? Do you serve him? The Bible says “Every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord and the glory of God”.

九月是称为犹太新年(Feast of Trumpets or Rosh Hashanah Sep 25-27)，它带来了一个很好的机会来更新我们对上帝和耶稣的信仰和爱。作为在基督里的新造，这也是在我们心中更新救恩的喜乐的美妙时刻。 “所以，若有人在基督里，他就是新造的人。旧的已经过去；看哪，新的已经来了”（2 哥林多前书 5：17）。

以下是犹太历的节日及其相关的预言应验：
• 逾越节——基督在十字架上的牺牲
• 无酵饼——基督在祭坛上的血赎罪
• 初熟的果子——基督从死里复活
• 五旬节——将律法写在信徒的心中（圣灵住在教会中）
• 吹角节——教会被提
• 赎罪日——七年大灾难
• 住棚节——天国的到来

这些节期的前四个（即逾越节、除酵节、初熟的果子和五旬节）在基督第一次降临中实现了预言。在每种情况下，这些节期都是在节期的实际日历日完成的，所以耶稣在逾越节死，他在初熟的果子上复活，圣灵在五旬节降临，等等。
最后 3 个没有完成。下一个预言事件，号角盛宴，将以被提拉开结束时间事件的序幕​​。约翰福音 7:37-38

September is the arrival of Jewish New Year called Rosh Hashanah (Sep 25-27) or Feast of Trumpets that brings a great opportunity to renew our faith and love for God and Jesus. It’s also a wonderful time to renew the joy of salvation in our hearts, as a new creation in Christ. “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come” (2 Corinthians 5:17).

Here are the feasts of the Jewish calendar and their associated prophetic fulfillment:

• Passover – Christ’s sacrificial death on the cross
• Unleavened Bread – Christ’s blood atonement at the altar
• First Fruits – Christ’s resurrection from the dead
• Pentecost – Writing the Law on the hearts of believers (the Holy Spirit indwelling the Church)
• Feast of Trumpets – The rapture of the Church
• Day of Atonement – The seven-year Tribulation
• Feast of Tabernacles – The arrival of the Kingdom

The first four of these feasts (i.e., Passover, Unleavened Bread, First Fruits, and Pentecost) saw their prophetic fulfillment in Christ’s first coming. In each case, these feasts were fulfilled on the actual calendar day of the feast, so Jesus died on Passover, He was resurrected on the Firstfruits, the Spirit came on the day of Pentecost, etc.

The last 3 have not been fulfilled. The next prophetic event, the feast of Trumpets, will kick off end time events with the rapture. John 7:37-38

Faith Beyond Table Tennis 超越乒乓球的信仰

John 3:16 约翰福音 Gospel Of John

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and Only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not Perish but have Eternal Life. 神爱世人, 甚至将他的独生子, 赐给他们, 叫一切信他的, 不至灭亡, 反得永生.

John 3:3-8 约翰福音 BORN AGAIN重生

3 Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.” 耶 稣 回 答 说 ， 我 实 实 在 在 地 告 诉 你 ， 人 若 不 重 生 ， 就 不 能 见 神 的 国 

4 “How can someone be born when they are old?” Nicodemus asked. “Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother’s womb to be born!”尼 哥 底 母 说 ， 人 已 经 老 了 ， 如 何 能 重 生 呢 ？ 岂 能 再 进 母 腹 生 出 来 吗 ？

5 Jesus answered,“Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. 耶稣回答说：“我实实在在地告诉你们，人若不是从水和圣灵生的，就不能进神的国。

6 Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. 从肉生的，就是肉体,但从灵生的，就是灵。

7 You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You must be born again.’ 我说“你们必须重生。”你们不要以为稀奇。

8 The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.” 风随着意思吹。 你听到风的声音，却你不晓得从哪里来,往去哪里, 凡从圣灵生的人也是如此。

Genesis 1:26 创世纪 Let Us Make Man in Our Image after Our Likeness

26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”神 说 ， 我 们 要 照 着 我 们 的 形 像 ， 按 着 我 们 的 样 式 造 人 ， 使 他 们 管 理 海 里 的 鱼 ， 空 中 的 鸟 ， 地 上 的 牲 畜 ， 和 全 地 ， 并 地 上 所 爬 的 一 切 昆 虫 。

1 Thesselonians 5:23

23 May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.愿 赐 平 安 的 神 ， 亲 自 使 你 们 全 然 成 圣 。 又 愿 你 们 的 灵 ， 与 魂 ， 与 身 子 ， 得 蒙 保 守 ， 在 我 主 耶 稣 基 督 降 临 的 时 候 ， 完 全 无 可 指 摘

Genesis 3:22-23 创世纪

The Fall Of Man人类的堕落

22 And the LORD God said, “The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.” 耶 和 华 神 说 ， 那 人 已 经 与 我 们 相 似 ， 能 知 道 善 恶 。 现 在 恐 怕 他 伸 手 又 摘 生 命 树 的 果 子 吃 ， 就 永 远 活 着

23 So the LORD God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken.耶 和 华 神 便 打 发 他 出 伊 甸 园 去 ， 耕 种 他 所 自 出 之 土

Genesis 5:3-5 创世纪

3 When Adam had lived 130 years, he had a son in his own likeness, in his own image; and he named him Seth. 亚 当 活 到 一 百 三 十 岁 ， 生 了 一 个 儿 子 ， 形 像 样 式 和 自 己 相 似 ， 就 给 他 起 名 叫 塞 特 

4 After Seth was born, Adam lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters. 亚 当 生 塞 特 之 后 ， 又 在 世 八 百 年 ， 并 且 生 儿 养 女

5 Altogether, Adam lived a total of 930 years, and then he died.亚 当 共 活 了 九 百 三 十 岁 就 死 了

Possession Of Holy Spirit 圣灵的占有

Ephesians 1:13-14

13 And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, 你 们 既 听 见 真 理 的 道 ， 就 是 那 叫 你 们 得 救 的 福 音 ， 也 信 了 基 督 ， 既 然 信 他 ， 就 受 了 所 应 许 的 圣 灵 为 印 记

14 who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory.这 圣 灵 ， 是 我 们 得 基 业 的 凭 据 ， （ 原 文 作 质 ） 直 等 到 神 之 民 （ 民 原 文 作 产 业 ） 被 赎 ， 使 他 的 荣 耀 得 着 称 赞

Romans 8:15

15 The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.” 你 们 所 受 的 不 是 奴 仆 的 心 ， 仍 旧 害 怕 。 所 受 的 乃 是 儿 子 的 心 ， 因 此 我 们 呼 叫 阿 爸 ， 父

12 What we have received is not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us. 我 们 所 领 受 的 ， 并 不 是 世 上 的 灵 ， 乃 是 从 神 来 的 灵 ， 叫 我 们 能 知 道 神 开 恩 赐 给 我 们 的 事 

2 I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by believing what you heard?我 只 要 问 你 们 这 一 件 ， 你 们 受 了 圣 灵 ， 是 因 行 律 法 呢 ？ 是 因 听 信 福 音 呢 ？

6 But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code.但 我 们 既 然 在 捆 我 们 的 律 法 上 死 了 ， 现 今 就 脱 离 了 律 法 ， 叫 我 们 服 事 主 ， 要 按 着 心 灵 的 新 样 ， 不 按 着 仪 文 的 旧 样 （ 心 灵 或 作 圣 灵 ）

Romans 8:9-11

9 You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ. 如 果 神 的 灵 住 在 你 们 心 里 ， 你 们 就 不 属 肉 体 ， 乃 属 圣 灵 了 。 人 若 没 有 基 督 的 灵 ， 就 不 是 属 基 督 的

10 But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life because of righteousness. 基 督 若 在 你 们 心 里 ， 身 体 就 因 罪 而 死 ， 心 灵 却 因 义 而 活

11 And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you. 然 而 叫 耶 稣 从 死 里 复 活 者 的 灵 ， 若 住 在 你 们 心 里 ， 那 叫 基 督 耶 稣 从 死 里 复 活 的 ， 也 必 借 着 住 在 你 们 心 里 的 圣 灵 ， 使 你 们 必 死 的 身 体 又 活 过 来

John 1:12-13

12 Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God 凡 接 待 他 的 ， 就 是 信 他 名 的 人 ， 他 就 赐 他 们 权 柄 ， 作 神 的 儿 女

13 children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.这 等 人 不 是 从 血 气 生 的 ， 不 是 从 情 欲 生 的 ， 也 不 是 从 人 意 生 的 ， 乃 是 从 神 生 的 

Why Should We Believe? 为什么要信

Mark 10:43-45 马可福音

43 Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant 但你們中間卻不要這樣；誰想在你們中間為大的，就要作你們的僕役，

44 and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all. 誰想在你們中間為首的，就要作大家的奴僕。

45 For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many. 因為人子來，不是要受人服事，而是要服事人，並且要捨命，作許多人的贖價

Gospel According to Paul 保罗的福音

Romans 3:23-24 罗马书

23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 因 为 世 人 都 犯 了 罪 ，亏 缺 了 神 的 荣 耀 

24 and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.如 今 却 蒙 神 的 恩 典 ，因 基 督 耶 稣 的 救 赎 ，就 白 白 地 称 义

Ephesians 2:1-10 以 弗 所 书

1 As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, 你 们 死 在 过 犯 罪 恶 之 中 ， 他 叫 你 们 活 过 来 ，

2 in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. 那 时 你 们 在 其 中 行 事 为 人 随 从 今 世 的 风 俗 ， 顺 服 空 中 掌 权 者 的 首 领 ， 就 是 现 今 在 悖 逆 之 子 心 中 运 行 的 邪 灵

3 All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath. 我 们 从 前 也 都 在 他 们 中 间 ， 放 纵 肉 体 的 私 欲 ， 随 着 肉 体 和 心 中 所 喜 好 的 去 行 ， 本 为 可 怒 之 子 ， 和 别 人 一 样

4 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 然 而 神 既 有 丰 富 的 怜 悯 。 因 他 爱 我 们 的 大 爱

5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. 当 我 们 死 在 过 犯 中 的 时 候 ， 便 叫 我 们 与 基 督 一 同 活 过 来 。 （ 你 们 得 救 是 本 乎 恩 ）

6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, 他 又 叫 我 们 与 基 督 耶 稣 一 同 复 活 ， 一 同 坐 在 天 上

7 in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. 要 将 他 极 丰 富 的 恩 典 ， 就 是 他 在 基 督 耶 稣 里 向 我 们 所 施 的 恩 慈 ， 显 明 给 后 来 的 世 代 看

8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 你 们 得 救 是 本 乎 恩 ， 也 因 着 信 ， 这 并 不 是 出 于 自 己 ， 乃 是 神 所 赐 的 

9 not by works, so that no one can boast. 也 不 是 出 于 行 为 ， 免 得 有 人 自 夸

10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.我 们 原 是 他 的 工 作 ， 在 基 督 耶 稣 里 造 成 的 ， 为 要 叫 我 们 行 善 ， 就 是 神 所 预 备 叫 我 们 行 的
