Hello. Thank you for joining this devotion. This will be the last one for a few weeks.

We had a wonderful Canada Day celebration on Sunday. The flags at the signboard look great.

Let me read to you from Hebrews 11:13-16.

All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised. They only saw them and welcomed them from a distance, admitting that they were foreigners and strangers on earth. People who say such things show that they are looking for a country of their own. If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return. Instead, they were longing for a better country, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.

We love Canada. We love this home. We love this land. But we have a better land to look forward to. It’s a land where there is everlasting life through Jesus Christ.

I pray that you have a wonderful summer. May the Lord meet with you, may you know his grace and favour, and may you celebrate the hope we have in Jesus Christ. Jesus is Lord.

Lord God, thank you for this day. Thank you for your grace and your favour to us as your people. Thank you for this land of Canada. As we take this break over the summer, may you meet with us, encourage us, and draw us to yourself. In the name of Jesus we pray, Amen.

May the Lord be with you. Thank you.

謝謝你收看今天的線上靈修。這會是我們暑假休息前的最後一次。 

上周日我們有一個美好的加拿大日慶祝活動。

讓我們來聽希伯來書11:13-16.

這些人都是存着信心死的、並沒有得着所應許的、卻從遠處望見、且歡喜迎接、又承認自己在世上是客旅、是寄居的。說這樣話的人、是表明自己要找一個家鄉。他們若想念所離開的家鄉、還有可以回去的機會。他們卻羨慕一個更美的家鄉、就是在天上的．所以　神被稱為他們的　神、並不以為恥．因為他已經給他們預備了一座城。

我們愛加拿大，我們愛這個家，我們愛這塊土地。但我們有個盼望更美好的地方。就是透過耶穌機督永恆生命的希望。

我禱告你有一個美好的暑假。願主與你相遇，願你知道他的恩典和恩惠，願你慶祝我們在耶穌基督裡的盼望。耶穌是主。

主神啊!我們為今天謝謝你。謝謝你給我們的恩典和恩惠。為加拿大這塊土地謝謝你。在暑假我們休息的時候，願你與我們相遇，鼓勵我們，並讓我們靠近你。奉耶穌的名禱告。阿們。

 願主與你同在，謝謝你。

Grace, peace, and love in Jesus
