徒勞無功
讀經: 羅馬書4章1-17節
金句: 「除他以外，別無拯救，因為在天下人間，沒有賜下別的名，我們可以靠著得救。」（使徒行傳4章12節）
全年讀經: 以賽亞書59-61章；帖撒羅尼迦後書3章

我的朋友羅傑·韋柏參加了2006年芝加哥馬拉松賽，在他起跑時發現地上有個東西。那是一個供參賽者使用的晶片──裝在選手鞋子上的一種計時器，用來記錄參賽者在整個賽程中，經過不同計時站的時間。很顯然，有一位可憐的參賽者，在接下來42公里的賽程中將沒有紀錄可查。
在正式的紀錄中，那位選手沒有參賽，因為沒有參賽的紀錄，即使他打破紀錄也沒有用。比賽的主辦者制定了比賽規則，不管什麼人，也不管跑得多麼好，如果裁判說他不合格，就不合格了。
從某種意義上來看，我們的人生也是如此。我們以為多行善事，或遵守許多規則，就能有美好的結局。但當我們抵達終點──天堂時發現，我們還沒有接受耶穌作救主，名字沒有記在羔羊的生命冊上，我們就沒有資格進入天堂。
耶穌說：「我就是道路、真理、生命；若不藉著我，沒有人能到父那裏去。」（約翰福音14章6節）。你信耶穌了嗎？如果沒有，你一生將是徒然奔跑。JDB
我是否合格並不重要，是否榮華富貴也無益；只有一事我必須確定，「我信上帝兒子嗎？」Hess
若我們能賺取救恩，基督便無須受死來救我們。

Running For Nothing
READ: Romans 4:4-17
Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. —Acts 4:12
-->About this cover

As my friend Roger Weber started the 2006 Chicago Marathon, he noticed something on the ground. It was a runner’s chip—the device each runner puts on his or her shoe to record progress at various timing stations during the race. Apparently, one poor runner would be traversing the next 26.2 miles on foot with nothing to show for it.
Officially, that runner did not run the race. There would be no record of his participation. Even if he had finished the race in record time, it wouldn’t have mattered. The folks who organize the race set the rules, and no matter how well someone runs, if the officials say the runner doesn’t qualify, that’s the way it is.
In one sense, that’s also the way it is with all of us. We can run what appears to be a good race by doing good things for others and obeying lots of rules. But when we arrive at the final checkpoint—heaven—and haven’t made sure our name is recorded in the Lamb’s Book of Life by putting our faith in Jesus as our Savior, we’re disqualified to enter.
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me" (John 14:6). Are you trusting in Jesus? If not, you’re running for nothing. —Dave Branon—Dave Branon-->
It’s not what I achieve that qualifies,It matters not if I gain wealth or fame;The only thing I must be certain ofIs “Have I put my trust in Jesus’ name?” —Hess
If we could earn our salvation, Christ would not have died to provide it.

WE HAVE TO BE REMINDED SOMETIMES
Went to a party Mom... (read all the way to the bottom and sign your name) I went to a party, And remembered what you said. You told me not to drink, Mom, so I had a sprite instead. I felt proud of myself, The way you said I would, that I didn't drink and drive, though some friends said I should. I made a healthy choice, And your advice to me was right. The party finally ended, and the kids drove out of sight. I got into my car, Sure to get home in one piece. I never knew what was coming, Mom, something I expected least. Now I'm lying on the pavement, And I hear the policeman say, the kid that caused this wreck was drunk, Mom, his voice seems far away. My own blood's all around me, As I try hard not to cry. I can hear the paramedic say, this girl is going to die. I'm sure the guy had no idea, While he was flying high. Because he chose to drink and drive, now I would have to die. So why do people do it, Mom Knowing that it ruins lives? And now the pain is cutting me, like a hundred stabbing knives. Tell sister not to be afraid, Mom Tell daddy to be brave. And when I go to heaven, put " Mommy's Girl" on my grave. Someone should have taught him, That it's wrong to drink and drive. Maybe if his parents had, I'd still be alive. My breath is getting shorter, Mom I'm getting really scared These are my final moments, and I'm so unprepared. I wish that you could hold me Mom, As I lie here and die. I wish that I could say, "I love you, Mom!" So I love you and goodbye. MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Drivers) IS HOPING TO GET 5,000 SIGNATURES ON THIS, THEN PASS IT ON TO SIGN.
