Friday Fellowship of Matthew 3

Once again, we enjoyed our fellowship together at the church meeting hall. Almost 20 of us sit around the table, tasted delicious food, sang hymns and shared our experience of God's word.

Hymn #241 reveals how a life is changed: open our hearts and let Jesus live in our hearts.

我生命有何等，奇妙的大改变，自基督来住在我心；
神荣耀的光辉，照耀在我魂间，自基督来住在我心。

A question was raised: how can we experience the change of life? Brothers and sisters shared wonderful testimonies of how God has changed their lives. First, we need to stay in the body of Christ and maintain a regular church life with sisters and brothers; second, we need to submit ourselves to Jesus, follow the spirit, and maintain a regular communication with God through prayers, calling on God's name, and reading God's word.

We communicated the true meaning of baptism through the spirit and water. What a wonderful picture this is, when Jesus was baptised by John, the Father, the Son, and the Spirit, the Divine Trinity.

主受浸，盡了神的義，並被擺到死與復活裏，就得著三件事：諸天開了、神的靈降下、以及父說話。今天我們也該是一樣。More in life reading 王的受膏（一），（二），（三）

3:16	耶稣受了浸，随即从水里上来，看哪，诸天向祂开了，祂就看见神的灵，仿佛鸽子降下，落在祂身上。
3:17	看哪，又有声音从诸天之上出来，说，这是我的爱子，我所喜悦的。
