講道大綱

導言：

《海德堡要理問答》第2問：為了在基督的安慰中喜樂地生或死，什麼是你必須知道的？

答案是三件事：

第一，我的罪孽與愁苦是何等的深重；

第二，我如何從一切罪與愁苦中被救贖；

第三，我應如何為這樣的救贖向上帝感恩。

九個猶太人：

耶穌說：「潔淨了的不是十個人嗎？那九個在哪裡呢？ 除了這外族人，再沒有別人回來歸榮耀與　神嗎？」 (路加福音17:17-18)

Then Jesus answered, “Were not ten cleansed? Where are the nine? Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?”(Luke17:17-18 ESV)

一個外邦人：

就對那人說：「起來，走吧！你的信救了你了。」(路加福音17:19)

And he said to him, “Rise and go your way; your faith has made you well.”(Luke17:19 ESV)

一、感謝為祭獻給神 Offer Sacrifices of Thanksgiving to God

願人因耶和華的慈愛，因他向世人所行的奇事稱謝他。願他們以感謝為祭獻給他，歡欣地述說他的作為。（詩篇107:21-22，環球聖經譯本）

Let them thank the LORD for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of man! And let them offer sacrifices of thanksgiving, and tell of his deeds in songs of joy!(Psalms107:21-22 ESV)

1、回轉到恩典源頭（悔改的行動）Turn Back to the Source of Grace (A Response of Repent)

2、大聲歸榮耀與神（信仰的宣告）praise God with a loud voice (A Faithful Declaration)

3、俯伏在耶穌腳前（敬拜的姿態）Fall at Jesus’ Feet (A Posture of Worship)

二、操練感恩的生活 Train Thanksgiving as a way of Life

我們在頌揚上帝恩典時記憶力總是短暫的。若不及時主動獻上感謝，上帝賜予的每一份祝福都會因我們的疏忽而消逝。

1、設立每日感恩的祭壇

稱謝耶和華！歌頌你至高者的名！早晨傳揚你的慈愛；每夜傳揚你的信實。(詩篇92:1-2 新譯本)

It is good to give thanks to the LORD, to sing praises to your name, O Most High; to declare your steadfast love in the morning, and your faithfulness by night (Psalms 92:1-2 ESV)

2、記下上帝護理的日誌這些事要記下來，傳給後代，好使將來出生的人民可以贊美耶和華。(詩篇102:18 新譯本)

Let this be recorded for a generation to come, so that a people yet to be created may praise the LORD (Psalms102:18 ESV)

3、聖餐中更新感恩盟約……這是我的身體，為你們捨的，你們應當如此行，為的是記念我。……這杯是我的血所立的新約，你們每逢喝的時候，要如此行，為的是記念我。（哥林多前書11：24-25）

……“This is my body, which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”……“This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.”(1 Corinthians11:24-25 ESV)
