2010/03/20 Day 28 of Lent 大齋期第28日

Let us love mercy and act justly by fighting against the threat of climatic change with the poor together
願意我們與貧窮群體共抗氣候變化的威脅,實踐關愛與公義

Day 28 of Lent   20 March 2010 (Saturday)

Scripture Meditation> Luke 4: 14-21, Mark 2: 27 and Hebrews 4
1. How did Jesus’ ministry fully make real sense the ‘liberty’ promised in the Jubilee?
2. Do Mark 2: 27 and Hebrews 4 enrich your understanding of the Sabbath?

Carbon Fast
> Determine
The Word became flesh to make real in the fullest sense the ‘liberty’ promised in the Jubilee, releasing the oppressed and giving them freedom. The Sabbath is not seen in the New Testament as a burden but as a blessing, and as a picture of God’s people redeemed. Let us establish a sustainable living style with equality and harmony among people, the community and the environment in the day with environmental imbalance and tens of millions of ‘environmental refugees’ around the world, to love mercy and act justly by fighting against the threat of climatic change with the poor together.
> ‘Cherish the Nature’
Recommend to you to go outdoors for a long walk with friends this weekend to enjoy nature.

減碳行動
>立志

主耶穌道成肉身為要全面落實神禧年的應許,讓受欺壓的人得享真正的自由與釋放。在新約裡,安息日並不是要在人身上強加限制,而是帶來神子民得贖的祝福。今日,面對失衡的大地和數以千萬計的「環境難民」,願意我們按安息日和禧年的教導,建立人人平等、人與社群及環境間可持續的生活模式,與貧窮群體共抗氣候變化的威脅,實踐關愛與公義。
>「六『惜』行動」
建議你今個周末與友人到郊外遠足,珍惜仍可親近大自然的機會。
