在地如天 Heavenly Living on Earth

神说，在末后的日子，我要将我的灵浇灌凡有血气的。你们的儿女要说预言。你们的少年人要见异象。老年人要作异梦。 - 徒2:17 'In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. – Acts 2:17

我听见有大声音从宝座出来说，看哪，神的帐幕在人间。他要与人同住，他们要作他的子民，神要亲自与他们同在，作他们的神。 4 神要擦去他们一切的眼泪。不再有死亡，也不再有悲哀，哭号，疼痛，因为以前的事都过去了。And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 4 He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.“ -启示录 Revelation 21:3-4

逾越节以前，耶稣知道自己离世归父的时候到了。他既然爱世间属自己的人，就爱他们到底。 2 吃晚饭的时候，（魔鬼已将卖耶稣的意思，放在西门的儿子加略人犹大心里）。 3 耶稣知道父已将万有交在他手里，且知道自己是从神出来的，又要归到神那里去， 4 就离席站起来脱了衣服，拿一条手巾束腰。 5 随后把水倒在盆里，就洗门徒的脚，并用自己所束的手巾擦干。 It was just before the Passover Feast. Jesus knew that the time had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he now showed them the full extent of his love. 2 The evening meal was being served, and the devil had already prompted Judas Iscariot, son of Simon, to betray Jesus. 3 Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; 4 so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. 5 After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples‘ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him. -约翰福音 John 13:1-5

所以在基督里若有什么劝勉，爱心有什么安慰，圣灵有什么交通，心中有什么慈悲怜悯， 2 你们就要意念相同，爱心相同，有一样的心思，有一样的意念，使我的喜乐可以满足。 3 凡事不可结党，不可贪图虚浮的荣耀。只要存心谦卑，各人看别人比自己强。 4 各人不要单顾自己的事，也要顾别人的事。 5 你们当以基督耶稣的心为心。 6 他本有神的形像，不以自己与神同等为强夺的。 7 反倒虚己，取了奴仆的形像，成为人的样式。 If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, 2 then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose. 3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. 4 Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. 5 Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, 7 but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. -腓立比书 Philippians 2:1-7

If you think you are better, you will end up with a bitter half, But if you serve your spouse, you will end up with a better half When each spouse serves the other, God will make both better - Les Parrott

6 挨到西门彼得，彼得对他说，主阿，你洗我的脚吗？ 7 耶稣回答说，我所作的，你如今不知道，后来必明白。 8 彼得说，你永不可洗我的脚。耶稣说，我若不洗你，你就与我无分了。 9 西门彼得说，主阿，不但我的脚，连手和头也要洗。 10 耶稣说，凡洗过澡的人，只要把脚一洗，全身就干净了。你们是干净的，然而不都是干净的。 11 耶稣原知道要卖他的是谁，所以说，你们不都是干净的。 6 He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, "Lord, are you going to wash my feet?" 7 Jesus replied, "You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand." 8 "No," said Peter, "you shall never wash my feet." Jesus answered, "Unless I wash you, you have no part with me." 9 "Then, Lord," Simon Peter replied, "not just my feet but my hands and my head as well!" 10 Jesus answered, "A person who has had a bath needs only to wash his feet; his whole body is clean. And you are clean, though not every one of you." 11 For he knew who was going to betray him, and that was why he said not every one was clean. - 约翰福音 John 13:6-11

所以你们要彼此认罪，互相代求，使你们可以得医治。义人祈祷所发的力量，是大有功效的。 Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective. -雅各书 James 5:16

我是你们的主，你们的夫子，尚且洗你们的脚，你们也当彼此洗脚。 15 我给你们作了榜样，叫你们照着我向你们所作的去作。 16 我实实在在地告诉你们，仆人不能大于主人。差人也不能大于差他的人。 17 你们既知道这事，若是去行就有福了。 Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another's feet. 15 I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. 16 I tell you the truth, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. 17 Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them. - - 约翰福音 John 13:14-17

所以，你的仇敌若饿了，就给他吃。若渴了，就给他喝。因为你这样行，就是把炭火堆在他的头上。 21 你不可为恶所胜，反要以善胜恶。 On the contrary: “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.” 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. -罗马书 Romans 12:20-21
