In today’s Gospel reading, John 5:31 challenges me to examine my faith and understanding of the scripture. Am I open to the testimony of others who bear witness to Jesus? Am I willing to let go of my own interpretation and understanding of scripture and seek the truth that is revealed in Jesus? Do I seek glory from others or from God alone? These are questions I must ask myself as I seek to follow Jesus and grow in faith.

今天的若望福音第5章31节,挑战我审查我的信德及对圣言的理解。我能否愿意对那些为主耶稣作证的人及他的见证,持有开放的态度?我又是否愿意放下自己对圣言的诠释和理解,而寻求主耶稣所启示的真理?我是在他人身上寻求荣耀,还是只寻求来自主的荣耀?这些都是我寻求跟随主耶稣并在信仰中成长时 必须问自己的问题。
