親愛的弟兄姊妹平安:
「耶和華與摩西面對面說話，好像人與朋友說話一般。」出33:11
這樣的禱告是多麼美妙和甘甜，對我們又是何等寶貴的提醒。很多時候，我們到神面前禱告，就是一張購物單，說完了就了事。
好朋友談天是說出心底裡的話。我們到神面前就是無所不談，能提出疑問，也能發出要求。摩西與神交談能求神指示道路，也能求顧念百姓。神親切地回應：「我必親自和你同去，使你得安息。」摩西不單是為自己求，也請求神與百姓同行。神也回應摩西說：「你這所求的，我也要行。」
「求祢顯出祢的榮耀給我看。」 摩西接着請求說。什麼是神的榮耀呢? 神的榮耀彰顯於天，在穹蒼，日出日落，月盈月缺，斗轉星移，春夏秋冬，各有各精彩; 但神更大的榮耀，是彰顯在一群有血有肉有氣息有靈魂的人。
當我們享受神的恩慈，住在基督裏，就成了新造的人，神賜我們權柄，作祂的兒女，帶著祂的榮耀和尊貴管理萬物。神的恩慈不是藉人的功德賺取，也不因人的失敗放棄，卻是在人的悔改和信心上彰顯祂的榮耀。世人在我們的生活上看見神的慈愛，公義，聖潔和信實。
28/3的會友大會，2/4的受苦節崇拜和4/4的復活主日崇拜，是教會安排的特別聚會。我們一群回應了主的呼召，心意離開世俗的潮流，就願意相約相聚在一起見證主。
深切盼望疫情消逝，我們快快地面對面!

Dear brothers and sisters,
‘The Lord would speak to Moses face to face, as one speaks to a friend.’ Exodus 33:11
What a wonderful and sweet prayer this is. What a precious reminder to us. Our prayers are often like a shopping list, speaking to ourselves.
Good friends talk to each other from their heart. When we come to God, we can talk about everything. We can ask questions and make requests. Moses asked God to teach him His ways and to remember His people. God kindly responded, ‘My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.’ Moses did not only pray for himself, but also asked God to go with His people. God said to Moses, ‘I will do the very thing you have asked.’
‘Show me Your glory,’ Moses asked. What is God’s glory? The glory of God is set in the skies, in the heavens, sunrise and sunset, full moon and new moon, spring, summer, autumn and winter, each has its own splendour. Yet God’s greater glory is manifested in a group of people with flesh, breath and soul.
When we enjoy God’s mercy and live in Christ, we become a new creation. God gives us the right to be His children, and to rule over all things with His glory and honour. God’s kindness is not earned by man’s good works, nor will He give them up because of their failure, but is the manifestation of His glory in man’s repentance and faith. The world can see God’s love, justice, holiness and faithfulness in our lives.
The 28/3 AGM, the 2/4 Good Friday Service and the 4/4 Easter Sunday Service are the church’s special meetings. We who have responded to the Lord’s calling and left the world behind, are willing to meet together to witness the Lord.
Pray that the pandemic will end and that we can meet face to face soon.
In Him,
Sam Wong
