徒Acts 1:4-5
4耶稣和他们一同吃饭的时候，吩咐他们不要离开耶路撒冷，说：“你们要等候父的应许，就是你们听我讲过的，5约翰是用水施洗，但再过几天，你们要受圣灵的洗。”
4 On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. 5 For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.”
重点学习
这两节经文告诉我们，教会是如何借着圣灵的工作而得着能力的。
使徒们被告知要等候圣灵的降临。如果我们学会了等候，我们将获得更多的能力、勇气和平安。
在我们个人生活里，我们需要学习如何静默。生活在汹涌澎湃的世界里，我们必须花时间来领受神的同在。
“但那等候上帝的人会得到新的力量。他们如鹰展翅翱翔，他们奔跑而不疲累，他们行走而不掉队。”以赛亚书40:31，消息译本 (The Message)
Lessons Learn
These two verses tell us how the church was empowered to do that by the work of the Holy Spirit.
By doing so, the apostles were told to wait for the coming of the Holy Spirit. We would gain more power and courage and peace if we learned to wait.
In our personal life, we need to learn to be still. Amid life’s surging activity, there must be time to receive.
“But those who wait upon God get fresh strength. They spread their wings and soar like eagles, they run and don’t get tired, they walk and don’t lag behind.” Isaiah 40:31, The Message.
祷告
亲爱的主，请提醒我在忙碌时安静。让我在这宝贵的时刻能学习到这个功课，安静等候。我愿仰望你、信靠你、相信你、听从你。当我顺服你的命令时，但愿你的祝福赐下。
