神的指頭 – 傲慢的滅亡 The Fingers of God – Pride’s Downfall
但以理書4-5章是講二個王故事, 第四章是講尼布甲尼撒王謙卑的悔改, 第五章是講伯沙撒王驕傲的滅亡。馬太23:12凡自高的必降為卑;自卑的必升為高。但以理書 4-5章就是最好的証明; 伯沙撒王自高, 結果被降為卑; 尼布甲尼撒王自卑, 結果被升為高。神的話安定在天永不改變, 我們要扎根在真理上。
Chapters 4 and 5 of Daniel tell stories of two kings and their contrasting reactions to the warnings of God. One humbled himself, while the other persisted in his pride. This week, listen to Rev. Jeremiah Cheung as he discusses the downfall of continuing a life of pride before God. “For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”
