The Bible in a Year (with Fr. Mike Schmitz)

Fr. Mike Schmitz
施洗约翰医治了一个天生瘸腿的乞丐，这显示了上帝通过耶稣的名施行神迹，并以此彰显上帝的作为。施洗约翰向众人解释了耶稣的医治是上帝的作为，并呼吁人们悔改。上帝赐予我们恩赐是为了让我们荣耀祂，并使用这些恩赐来服侍他人。神迹伴随着耶稣的宣告，其目的是为了让人们认识上帝。保罗书信中关于亚伯拉罕的例子强调了信仰而非行为的重要性。保罗书信强调了因信称义，以及上帝对我们的爱即使在我们还是罪人的时候就已存在。上帝不会浪费任何事情，即使是我们的苦难。上帝深爱着我们，我们不应该怀疑自己的价值。
