求神幫助我們在世上活出分別為聖的生活
Day 31 of Lent 24 March 2010 (Wednesday)
Meditation of the Name of God> Jehovah-Meqaddishkem (the Lord Makes you Holy) - Exodus 31: 12-17
1. Why should the Israelites observe the Sabbath?2. What kind of relationship between God and the Israelites is expressed by their observing the Sabbath?
Carbon Fast
> Pray
The Sabbath, not only witnesses the creation of God and His rule over all creation, but also reminds the Israelites that God made them holy to be His people. On the night before Jesus Christ died on the cross, He prayed that God will protect His followers from the evil one and sanctify them by the truth. (John 17: 15-19) Pray that God will help us to be holy in our living.
> ‘Live Green’
Cows, sheep and goats emit powerful greenhouse gases. Recommend to you to eat more vegetables and reduce the amount of red meat in your diet from now on, which would improve your health and the environment.

＞祈求
安息日不但要見證神的創造作為和祂對創造物的管治，同時亦叫以色列人知道是神使他們成聖、作祂的子民。主耶穌在釘十架前一夜，祂求神保守信徒脫離那惡者，用真理使他們成聖。（約翰福音十七章15-19節）求神幫助我們在世上活出分別為聖的生活。
＞「綠色生活」
現時人們多以肉食為主，而飼養牛、羊、豬隻的過程中都會排放大量溫室氣體。建議你從今天開始，多吃蔬菜，少吃紅肉，為自己增多一點健康，為地球減少一點碳氣（二氧化碳）。
