“Our Lord the Object of Faith for Salvation 相信我們的主，便可得蒙拯救“（Acts 使徒行傳 10:36-38）
You know the message God sent to the people of Israel, announcing the good news of peace through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all. … how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him.
神藉著耶穌基督（他是萬有的主）傳和平的福音，把這道傳給以色列人。… 神怎樣用聖靈和能力膏立拿撒勒人耶穌。他到各處行善事，醫好所有被魔鬼壓制的人，因為神與他同在。
Christ must be Lord or He will not be Saviour; the Lord is the object of faith for salvation! No one believing on the Saviour could later take up the matter of His lordship and settle it at his own convenience. It is doubtful whether any man can be saved who comes to Christ for His help but with no intention of obeying Him. Our first saving contact with Christ does not bring perfect knowledge of all He is to us. Ages upon ages will hardly be long enough to allow us to experience all the riches of His grace. As we discover new meanings in His titles and make them ours we will grow in the knowledge of our Lord and the many forms of love He wears exalted on his throne!
基督必須是主，否則祂必不是救主；主就是得救信心的對像！沒有人可以先相信救主，然後才思想基督主權的問題，且隨自己的方便才作出決定。人親近基督，若只是為了求他的幫助，卻無意順服他，這樣的人能否得救，確令人十分懷疑。我們初蒙得救與基督接觸時，就不會完全認識他對我們的一切意義。即使千年萬載，也不足以讓我們嘗盡他豐富的恩典。當我們從他的稱謂裡發現新的意義，並使它們成為我們自己所有的時候，我們就更多認識他，並且嚐到他在至高的寶座上披戴的許多不同形式之愛！
Prayer: God of Trinity, praise you for Jesus Christ being indeed Lord of all who believe/trust in Him alone for salvation, both Jews and non-Jews. Thank you for reminding us through Peter’s point that those like Cornelius fearing you and doing what is right do need to become Christians but need not feel excluded from your house because of their national background. May your peace, which transcends all understanding and affirms your holy presence/acceptance, as well as the leading of the Holy Spirit guard our hearts and our minds in Christ to follow Him closely. Amen.
禱告：三一真神啊，因著耶穌基督確實是所有單單相信/靠賴祂，得著救恩之猶太人和非猶太人的主，要讚美稱頌你。感謝你透過彼得的解說要點提醒我們，那些好像哥尼流一樣，敬畏你而行義的人，都需要成為基督徒，卻無須因著他們民族的背景，而感到被排斥在你家之外。願你那超過人能了解，併申明你神聖同在/悅納的平安，與及聖靈的引領，必在基督裡保守我們的心思意念，去緊緊地跟從祂。阿們。
