Luke 7:36-50人与人若要相处和睦，彼此身份一定要搞清楚。 十九世纪时，李鸿章穿皇马掛去美国拼外交，但卻被美媒误报为皇帝出巡，让他差点惹上杀头之禍! 现今社会，如果我们搞错別人的身份，那我们与那人之间的关系也必尷尬， 不合拍。“你是谁?” 是帮助了解彼此身份最直接的问題。 我们认为耶稣是谁? 同樣的，在耶稣眼裡，我們是谁? 如果我们搞清楚这两个问题的答案， 我们跟耶稣该有怎样的关系? 让我们照着路加福音 7:36-50，一起來问“耶稣是谁” 这个重要的问題。

Luke 7:11-17 There are some subjects we’re happy talking about (the weather, hobbies etc), but there are other subjects we try desperately to avoid. In this passage, we meet a widow burying her only son. Listen in to how Jesus can help us in the face of a topic we’d rather just avoid – our own deaths.
Psalm 3Ever get that Monday morning feeling? Your mind filled with worries and fears about the week ahead such that you’d rather stay in bed? Join the club.
