“主藉使徒的手在民间行了许多神迹奇事；…信而归主的人越发增添，连男带女很多。” – 徒 5:12-14
神若要行新事，没有什么能够阻止。这世上的黑暗势力可能想阻挠破坏，但神创造的动力最终不可阻挡。
听到神迹奇事的发生，我们中有些人可能会感觉不适应。我自己也是这样，因为我不是在那种伴随神迹奇事的环境中长大的。然而，神的确会用神迹奇事来显明祂的国将要来临。
虽然我们可能会对这些事情感到有点困惑，但它可以帮助我们定睛于被复活大能改变的生命奇迹。当你或我的生命被神国度的临在深深改变时，我们就会热切希望别人也能经历它。
重读一遍第14节，再次默想一下。
许多人的生命都受到了影响。耶稣带来的这一运动愈演愈烈，并将持续影响今天和未来。在初期教会时期，神迹奇事突出强化了神要带到这个世界中的充满大能的、全新的现实。
当你花时间默想这一切时，求神使你更深认识祂的大能。想想你过去曾在哪里和曾经如何看见神作工。求神赐给你能力，使你被扩展。
祷告
耶稣，你曾经在所遇见和所教导的人中行了许多神迹。请帮助我看见你今天所行的奇迹。阿们。
使徒行传 5:12-16
12主藉使徒的手在民间行了许多神迹奇事。他们都同心合意地在所罗门的廊下。
13其余的人没有一个敢贴近他们，百姓却尊重他们。
14信而归主的人越发增添，连男带女很多。
15甚至有人将病人抬到街上，放在床上或褥子上，指望彼得过来的时候，或者得他的影儿照在什么人身上。
16还有许多人带着病人和被污鬼缠磨的，从耶路撒冷四围的城邑来，全都得了医治。
Gaining Momentum
“The apostles performed many signs and wonders among the people. . . . More and more men and women believed in the Lord and were added to their number.” – Acts 5:12-14
When God begins to do a new thing, nothing can stop him. Forces of this world may try, but nothing can ultimately stop the momentum God creates.
The reporting of signs and wonders can make some of us uncomfortable. I know it does that for me because I wasn’t brought up in that type of environment. However, God used signs and wonders to give evidence of his kingdom coming into reality.
Though we might struggle a bit with these events, they can help us grasp the miracle of a changed life through the power of the resurrected Lord. When your life, or mine, is deeply transformed by the reality of God’s kingdom, we want others to experience it too.
Read verse 14 again and reflect on it.
Multitudes of people were being reached. This movement of Jesus was gaining momentum that would keep on going to the present day and beyond. In those early days, signs and wonders helped to reinforce the powerful new reality God was bringing into this world.
As you take some time to reflect on all this, ask God to deepen your awareness of his power. Think about where and how you have seen God work in the past. Consider being stretched by asking God to give you his power today.
Prayer
Jesus, you did many miraculous things among the people you met and taught. Help me to see the miracles you are doing today. Amen.
