New Year's Day Like First Day of School With Jesus as Your Tutor
1. New Year’s Day is sort of like the first day of
school. It’s as though God gives us each a
spotless new notebook, sharp new pencils,
new textbooks full of new lessons, and a
fresh start. Whether or not that comes as a
happy thought to you probably depends on
how well you did in the last grade, last year. If
you excelled, you’re probably ready to greet
the new year with high hopes and bring-it-on
enthusiasm. If you just barely squeaked by,
you probably feel something between jitters
and trepidation.
新年元旦有點像是上學的第一天。這就好
像是上帝給了我們每個人一本全新的筆記
本、剛削好的新鉛筆、內容全是些新課程
的新課本,和一個全新的開始。你是否帶
著快樂的心情來面對,大概取決於你在上
學期的表現如何。如果你曾表現優異,那
麼你可能準備好以厚望和對未來不設限的
熱情,來迎接新的一年。但如果你曾只是
勉強通過,那麼你可能會感到有些緊張和
惶恐。
2. Either way, this coming year can be your best
yet because Jesus wants to be your personal
tutor. He’s pretty smart, and if you’re smart
you’ll take Him up on His offer. Who could
better help you through the school of life?
After all, He designed the course, wrote the
textbook, and put together the tests, so of
course He understands the material inside
and out and has all the answers. What’s
more, He loves you dearly and wants to
see you succeed even more than you do.
不論你的情況是哪一種,接下來的
一年可以是你最好的一年,因為耶
穌想要做你個人的導師。祂非常聰
明,如果你夠聰明,你會接納祂的
建議。有誰更能夠幫助你度過人生
大學呢?畢竟,祂設計了課程、寫
了教科書,並編排了考試題,所以
祂當然完全了解其中所有細節,且
有所有的答案。更棒的是,祂非常
愛你,祂甚至比你更想看到你成功。
3. As you learn to take your questions and problems to
Him and let Him explain how He sees them, you’ll
find that things will click like never before. He will
help you solve even the toughest problems, and
teach you to capitalize on your mistakes by turning
them into learning opportunities. He’s patient,
loving, and wise—and did I mention He knows
better than anyone how to make learning fun?
當你學會將你的問題和困擾交給祂,讓祂
向你解釋祂對它們的看法如何,你將發現
事情會進行順利,這是以前從未發生過的。
祂會幫助你解決甚至最辣手的問題,並教
你如何利用你的錯誤,把它們變成學習的
機會。祂充滿耐心、愛心和智慧,還有我
是否曾提到,祂比任何人都知道怎麼讓學
習變得很有趣呢!
4. Why struggle on your own for a passing grade when
Jesus can help you make the honor roll? And when
the final exam comes around, Jesus will help you ace
that too, and you’ll be so proud when you hear Him
say, “Well done!”
當耶穌可以幫助你名錄在優等學生冊上時,為什
麼要獨自掙扎、只是勉強通過而已呢?當那最後
的考驗來臨時,耶穌也將幫助你順利通過,你將
會很驕傲地聽到祂對你說:「做得好!」
