第46个主日 第三部分 主祷文

第一百二十问

Q. Why did Christ command us to call God “our Father”?

为何基督命令我们称神为“我们的父”?


A. To awaken in us at the very beginning of our prayer what should be basic to our prayer — a childlike reverence and trust that through Christ God has become our Father, and that just as our parents do not refuse us the things of this life, even less will God our Father refuse to give us what we ask in faith. [1]

在每次祷告开头提醒我们,我们的祷告当以何为基础——像孩子一般的尊敬,并相信在基督里神已经成为我们的父, 并且如我们的父母不拒绝给我们今世的需求那样,神我们的父不拒绝给我们在信心里所求的。[1]


  1. Matt. 7:9-11; Luke 11:11-13

第一百二十一问

Q. Why the words “in heaven”?

为何说“在天上”呢?


A. These words teach us not to think of God’s heavenly majesty as something earthly, [1] and to expect everything needed for body and soul from God’s almighty power. [2]

这教导我们不要以属地的想法来想像天上威荣的神[1],并且我们要从神的全能中期望获得身体灵魂所需要的一切[2]。
