阿備迪尼牧師獄中來信

Please listen to these letters from a far away prison. It is worthy of your time.

請聽這兩封從伊朗監獄寄來的信件。你所花的時間一定是值得的。

2012 來信，被伊朗政府正式判刑之前

2013 來信, 被伊朗政府正式判刑之後

In our struggle against sin we have not yet resisted to the point of shedding our blood (Heb12:4). Yet here is a brother (and his family) who is suffering for righteousness sake with tears and blood.

Are you taking your freedom for granted? Are you slumbering in easy-believe-sim? If one day the same plight came to your surroundings, are you able to not only not denying Jesus, but also further to testify Him in suffering?

It is never late to get ready now, and remember to prayer for the suffering Body of Christ!

我们与罪相争，还没有抵挡到流血的地步。而這裡有一位弟兄（和他的家人）正為義的緣故受逼迫而流血流淚。

你是否輕忽如今的自由？你是否沈睡在舒適容易的信仰里？若有一天同樣的遭遇到了你的身邊，你是否能不僅不否認耶穌，還要在患難中見證他？

現在就開始預備吧，也勿忘為受逼迫的基督肢體禱告！

Heb12:1-2  Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.

希12:1-2   我们既有这许多的见证人，如同云彩围着我们，就当放下各样的重担，脱去容易缠累我们的罪，存心忍耐，奔那摆在我们前头的路程。仰望为我们信心创始成终的耶稣(或作“仰望那将真道创始成终的耶稣”)，他因那摆在前面的喜乐，就轻看羞辱，忍受了十字架的苦难，便坐在　神宝座的右边。 

Mat 5:10     Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.    为义受逼迫的人有福了！因为天国是他们的。

Rev12:10-11   And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, "Now the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ have come, for the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, who accuses them day and night before our God. And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death. 

啟12:10-11  我听见在天上有大声音说：“我　神的救恩、能力、国度，并他基督的权柄，现在都来到了；因为那在我们　神面前，昼夜控告我们弟兄的，已经被摔下去了。 弟兄胜过它，是因羔羊的血和自己所见证的道。他们虽至于死，也不爱惜性命。
