對面站著的百夫長看見耶穌這樣喊叫斷氣，就說：“這人真是神的兒子！”（可15:19）
百夫長是外邦人，聖經沒有說百夫長是否有信主，但他知道耶穌真是神的兒子。我們作為神的兒女，更應有超越百夫長的信心，靠主堅定站立。因為基督徒有幾重的保險。
“殿裡的幔子從上到下裂為兩半。”（可15:38）這意味著我們可以去到神的施恩寶座前。“弟兄們，我們既因耶穌的血，得以坦然進入至聖所，是藉著他給我們開了一條又新又活的路，從幔子經過，這幔子就是他的身體。”（來10:19-20）
主耶穌基督為我們祈求。“凡靠著他進到神面前的人，他都能拯救到底，因為他是長遠活著，替我們祈求。”（來7:25）
聖靈幫助我們，替我們禱告。“況且，我們的軟弱有聖靈幫助，我們本不曉得怎樣禱告，只是聖靈親自用說不出來的嘆息替我們禱告”（羅8:26）
主耶穌基督的應許。“我若去為你們預備了地方，就必再來接你們到我那裡去；我在哪裡，叫你們也在那裡。”（約14:3）
感謝譖美主！求聖靈幫助我，靠主堅定站立，為主而活。

今天是受難節，我們今天參加網絡聚會的有47人。我們就像馬可福音記述耶穌受難時陪伴在十字架前面的婦女那樣。求主讓我們在禱告中與主耶穌一同堅定站立！
_______
婦女們忍痛站立在耶穌十字架的腳前，顯出她們對主的愛。神給我的提醒，要每日思念主的受難，而不是單單在受難節時，而是每一天被主的愛所感動。另外，要更多為受逼迫的教會和信徒禱告。 讓他們可以堅定站立。 在困境中為主作見證。

I remembered some time ago, A visiting missionary came back from the Middle East area spoke to us. She worked as an English teacher during the day and started her second job as a bible teacher at night. A few of local women gathered together in her home two to three times a week. On Sunday they would hold for Sunday worship. For what they did was pretty dangerous since it was forbidden to get together especially teaching of Bible was forbidden in this country. If this was exposed or reported by the neighbour, the leader of the gathering would be persecuted or put to jail. In a more severe case the personnel could be put to death. However, the missionary was willing to put their life at risk. This was the potential danger they were willing to take. When we are in a comfortable environment, are we willing to stand firm for Jesus? We might not have to face as grave as death, but we may endure some kind of suffering or hardship for His cause. May God help us to stand firm with Him in the course of the trial.
