耶穌釋放我們
讀經: 加拉太書5章1-6節
金句: 「你們必曉得真理，真理必叫你們得以自由。」（約翰福音8章32節）
全年讀經: 以賽亞書1-2章；加拉太書5章

自使徒保羅之後，關於屬靈捆綁的描述，恐怕無人勝過偉大的神學家奧古斯丁（公元前354-430）。儘管他蒙福擁有偉大才智，但是他在年輕時卻是極盡放蕩。
反觀過去，奧古斯丁這樣描述自己的掙扎：「我被自我意志的鎖鍊綑綁，落入不由自主的苦難中，而不是一個自由行動者。惡習在我身上如同全副武裝的敵人，因我願意做的，我根本做不到！」
我們有許多人也經歷過類似的掙扎，我們想從罪中得釋放，卻發現自己無力甩掉惡習的鎖鍊。但當我們轉而信靠主耶穌後，便得到釋放，就能與查爾斯·衛斯里（Charles Wesley）一同歌唱：「我靈受困，多年在牢獄中，被罪包圍，黑暗重重；主眼發出復活榮光，我靈甦醒，滿室光明！枷鎖脫落，心靈獲釋，我就起來跟隨主行。」
惟有主耶穌可以斷開你生命中的鎖鍊。現在接受他作你的救主，「真理必叫你們得以自由」（約翰福音8章32節）。VCG
脫離捆綁、憂愁與黑暗，耶穌，我來！耶穌，我來！進入自由、喜樂與光明，耶穌，我來就你。Sleeper
真正的自由來自事奉基督。

Jesus Sets Us Free

You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. —John 8:32
-->About this cover

Perhaps no one since the apostle Paul has written more graphically about the experience of spiritual bondage than the great theologian Augustine (AD 354–430). Although blessed with extraordinary intelligence, in his younger years he had wallowed in deep depravity.
Looking back, Augustine gave this account of his struggle: “I was bound by the iron chain of my own will. I was rather an unwilling sufferer than a willing actor. And yet it was through me that habit had become an armed enemy against me, because I had willingly come to be what I unwillingly found myself to be.”
Many of us have gone through a similar struggle. We wanted deliverance from sin yet found ourselves unable to shake off the chains of habit. Then, as we turned in faith to Jesus, we were liberated and could repeat the words of Charles Wesley’s hymn: “Long my imprisoned spirit lay fast bound in sin and nature’s night. Thine eye diffused a quickening ray, I woke—the dungeon flamed with light! My chains fell off, my heart was free; I rose, went forth, and followed Thee.”
Jesus alone can break the shackles of sin in your life. Receive Him as your Savior, and “the truth shall make you free” (John 8:32). —Vernon C Grounds—Vernon C Grounds-->
Out of my bondage, sorrow, and night,Jesus, I come, Jesus, I come;Into Thy freedom, gladness, and light,Jesus, I come to Thee. —Sleeper
True freedom is found in serving Christ.

【明報專訊】有人說，睡姿可反映個人性格，「蝦米式」的側臥睡眠方式，代表該人渴望受保護。事實上，睡姿亦可反映個人健康，有脊醫指出，「蝦米式」睡姿會令腰椎移位，若壓神經線，長遠可引起骨刺，甚至椎間盤突出等毛病。
註冊脊醫及物理治療師何應輝指出，正確睡姿應為仰臥式，即身體向天花板，雙腿切勿交叉疊起，一方面不會令到心臟及肺部承受壓力，讓血液循環較好，另一方面可減低椎間盤所承受的壓力，比起其他睡姿，壓力較輕。
許多人愛採用側臥式睡姿，何應輝表示這未嘗不可，但切勿採用「蝦米式」睡姿，他解釋，「蝦米式」睡姿時，雙腿彎曲，令腰部長期處於「扭曲」狀態，長遠可引起腰椎移位問題，嚴重更會壓神經線、生骨刺，甚至出現椎間盤突出等毛病。
何應輝又指，婦女睡姿不正確，易令盆骨出現高低不平，增加懷孕時流產風險。不過，婦產科專科醫生陳億仕則表示，流產成因多由胎兒本身基因發育不全引起，腰椎移位會令婦女在懷孕期間容易出現腰痠背痛，但未有聽聞會增加流產風險。
