讀經: 羅馬書3章21-26節
金句: 「罪的工價乃是死；惟有上帝的恩賜，在我們的主基督耶穌裏，乃是永生。」（羅馬書6章23節）
全年讀經: 以賽亞書45-46章； 帖撒羅尼迦前書3章

勞力士錶是世界名錶，許多人不計代價就是要得到一個。因此，我的幾個朋友日前到海外旅遊，就覺得買幾個送給自己的孩子作紀念品，倒挺好玩。
你一定會奇怪：拿勞力士錶當紀念品？沒錯，因為這些錶是仿冒品，讓觀光客可以廉價購得。不過，我的朋友丹尼與卡羅夫婦所買的這些勞力士錶，跟從高級珠寶店買到的有一點點不同，因為這些錶上刻的是「勞力十」（R-O-L-E-X-X.）。
好東西都不便宜，更不可能不花代價就可得到。但世間最重要的禮物──救恩，卻是完全不需花錢。與仿製的勞力士錶不同的是，救恩是無價之寶。但救恩又是白白送給了我們。正如一首詩所說：「耶穌已付一切代價」。沒有人能夠賺得救贖（以弗所書2章8-9節），我們需要做的僅僅是相信，並接受上帝所賜的永生禮物（羅馬書6章23節）。
有個看似矛盾的事實是：雖然救恩是白白得來的，但它的代價卻其高無比。章伯斯寫道：「我們輕易地得到的赦罪之恩，是耶穌用了加略山上的代價換來的。」
與此救恩不同的一切教導，都只是真理的仿冒品。CHK
耶穌賜我們，珍貴禮物；他完美一生，終於十架；不單是為我，也為世人；他付出重價，受死犧牲。Hess
上帝為成全救恩已付重價，我們卻可白白領受。

The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. —Romans 6:23
-->About this cover

A Rolex watch is one of the finest timepieces made. Many people would jump at the opportunity to own one. That’s why my friends who recently traveled abroad thought it would be fun to pick up a few of them to give to their children as souvenirs.
Souvenirs? Yes. You see, these watches were "knockoffs"—imitations of the real thing easily passed off to tourists at ridiculously cheap prices. The ones Denny and Carol chose for their family members did have a slight difference from the ones you would buy at a fine jewelry store—the name on these watches was spelled R-O-L-E-X-X.
Few things of value are inexpensive. Fewer still are free. But salvation—the most important gift of all—is free. Unlike the imitation Rolex, salvation is of infinite value. Yet it is free because, as one hymn reminds us, "Jesus paid it all." No one can earn salvation (Eph. 2:8-9). We need only believe and receive the gift of eternal life that God offers (Rom. 6:23).
It’s a paradoxical truth that while salvation is free, its cost was great. Oswald Chambers wrote, "Forgiveness, which is so easy for us to accept, cost the agony at Calvary."
Anyone who teaches something else is simply pushing a "knockoff" of the real thing. —Cindy Hess Kasper—Cindy Hess Kasper-->
Oh, how great a gift Jesus gave to me!Lived a perfect life, died upon a tree;Not for me alone has He paid the price,But for all the world by His sacrifice. —Hess
Our salvation was infinitely costly to God, but it is absolutely free to us.

盲腸不多餘 可保護益菌
●盲腸究竟有何作用？美國杜克大學研究人員認為，盲腸可製造並保護腸內的益菌。未參與研究的科學家認為，這項理論相當合理。
杜克大學的外科醫生與免疫學家將研究結果發表於《理論生物學》期刊的網路上。
盲腸一直被認為是多餘之物，但杜克大學的研究指出，盲腸的作用似乎與人類消化系統內的大量細菌有關。這些細菌多數是益菌，可協助消化食物。有時腸道的菌群會死亡或排光，例如霍亂與阿米巴痢疾可能將腸道的益菌悉數清光，盲腸的工作是重新刺激消化系統。
研究報告共同執筆人帕克教授寫道，盲腸扮演的角色是「細菌的安全室」。
帕克表示，盲腸擔任繁殖益菌工廠的功能，在現代工業化的社會中可能無用，但以前容易感染霍亂時，繁殖腸菌並不容易，必須靠盲腸協助。帕克說，在開發較低的國家，盲腸還有作用，盲腸炎的比例低於美國。（美聯社）

Appendix not superfluous to protect creek
● Appendix what effect? The United States Duke University researchers that can be manufactured and protection of cecal enteral the creek. Scientists not involved in the study believe that this theory is rather reasonable. Duke University surgeon and immune scientists will study and published the results in the "theoretical biology," the journal on the Internet.
Appendix has been of the view that the surplus is, but the Duke University study, the role of cecal human digestive system seems to be the large number of bacteria-related. The majority of these bacteria are bacteria to help digest food. Sometimes the intestinal flora or death row will be light, such as cholera and amoebic dysentery of intestinal bacteria may be fully repaid light, the work of re-cecal stimulate the digestive system.
Study co-author of the report, Professor Parker wrote that the role of the cecum "bacteria security room."
Parker said that the appendectomy as breeding bacteria factories function in a modern industrialized society may be useless, but before easily infected with cholera, intestinal bacteria breed is not easy, it must depend on the cecal help. Parker said that, in less developed countries, there are cecal role appendicitis lower than the proportion of the United States. (Associated Press)
