Sep 12 -天上的居所

Today's reading is from 2 Corinthians 5:1-10, our ultimate home.

While not all of us will have the chance to own a house on earth, we are promised with a home in heaven. I find verse 7 particularly meaningful : "We live by faith, not by sight." What does it really mean ? I shall ponder it further. But I believe there must be something positive and far better than now, prepared by our Lord, which gives me the hope and assurance to live by each day.

1 我們知道，如果我們在地上的帳棚拆毀了，我們必得著從　神而來的居所。那不是人手所造的，而是天上永存的房屋。.....6 我們既然一向都是坦然無懼的，又知道住在身內就是與主分開 7 （因為我們行事是憑著信心，不是憑著眼見），8 現在還是坦然無懼，寧願與身體分開，與主同住。9 因此，我們立定志向，無論住在身內或是與身體分開，都要討主的喜悅。10 因為我們眾人都必須在基督的審判臺前顯露出來，使各人按著本身所行的，或善或惡，受到報應。
