经上说:“不要自欺,神是轻慢不得的。人种的是什么,收的也是什么。” It is written: “Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.”神是圣洁公义忌邪的神,圣灵参透万事,当亚拿尼亚和撒非喇欺哄圣灵欺哄人,遭受神公义的审判,God is a holy and righteous God, and the Spirit searches all things. When Ananias and Sapphira lied to the Holy Spirit and the people, they faced God's righteous judgment.全教会和听见这事的人看见使徒的权柄和能力,神与他们同在,就心生敬畏,信而归主,并都尊重使徒。The whole church and those who heard about this were witnesses to the authority and power of the apostles. God was with them, and awe came upon all. Many believed in the Lord, and they honored the apostles.
使徒们的勇敢,舍己,不以自己的性命为念,为福音不惜一切代价,见证主耶稣的复活。The apostles were courageous, selfless, not counting their lives dear for the sake of the Gospel, testifying to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus.人心被主得着,他们不畏惧黑暗权势了,属灵的胜过了属黑暗的,The hearts of people are won over by the Lord. They were no longer afraid of the powers of darkness; these people with Holy Spirit prevailed over the darkness. 信而归主的人就越发增添,势不可挡,何等激动人心的一幕。More and more people believed in the Lord and were added to their number, unstoppable. How stirring it was! 过去的所罗门廊下聚满了等候医治的病人,现在的所罗门廊下成为信徒聚集的地方。Previously, the Solomon's Colonnadewas filled with sick people waiting for healing; now, it became a gathering place for believers.
主的心意就是愿万人得救,明白真道,离弃罪恶,脱离人前虚浮的荣耀、骄傲、假冒、贪心,因贪财者之心要夺去贪财者之命。The Lord desires that all people be saved, come to the knowledge of the truth, forsake sin, and depart from worldly glory, pride, pretense, and greed. The heart of a greedy person takes away the life of those who get it.主啊,带领你的百姓以这对夫妇为鉴戒,不再爱那看得见的钱财和人的荣耀与称赞,乃是爱那看不见的神,心存敬畏,用心灵和诚实来敬拜神。O Lord, may Your people learn from the example of Ananias and Sapphira, no longer loving visible wealth and human glory and praise, but loving the invisible God with reverence, worshiping Him in the Spirit and in truth.
鉴察人心的主啊,万物在你面前都无法隐藏,求主光照我们一切的伪善、不信、骄傲、贪婪,如今转道归正。O Lord who search people’s hearts, nothing is hidden from You. Shine Your light on all our hypocrisy, unbelief, pride, and greed. May we now turn and repent.复活的主,我爱你,求你燃烧我们的生命,丧己,被圣灵充满,单以圣洁的装饰为衣,甘心牺牲自己,齐心奔赴大使命,Resurrected Lord, I love You. Kindle our lives, fill us with the Holy Spirit, clothe us with holiness, willingly sacrifice ourselves, and unite us in pursuing the great commission.让信而归主的人数越发的加添。也愿你使我们看重你胜过世上的一切,使我们成为你的荣耀,你的喜乐。Let the number of those who believe in the Lord increase more. Help us value You above all worldly things and become vessels of Your glory and Your joy. (郭姊妹Sister Guo)
