步入光明 Entering the Light

在這幅畫裡，孩子們手牽手跟耶穌一起去探險；雖然路途危機重重、罪惡橫行、遍地黑暗，但他們每次都靠耶穌得勝了。

1 John 1:7: "But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin".

The children are going on an adventure with Jesus. Along the way, dangers abound - the path is dark, eventful, and crooked. Although the children are depleting of energy and strength, both physically and emotionally, they are victorious through every battle by the blood of Jesus.

耶穌在路上留下的血水全都風乾凝固了。同樣，祂的話必不徒然返回（賽55），祂的作為也照樣成就了（約 19:30）。血水的養分滋養土地，長出一朵朵絕處逢生的罌粟花。這些花朵著代表着成長、尊貴和堅毅。

His blood on the ground was completely dried up and turned into rosewood pink. It provided with poppies with nutrients and awakened the seeds from their dormancy. With vibrance, these poppies grew into a full bloom, signifying resilience, hope and valor.

耶穌賜給每位孩子們一件白袍：因著祂的寶血，他們的衣裳都洗得乾淨潔白了（啟7:14）。祂安慰孩子們要等候，再過一陣子，祂的公義和榮耀就要臨到了（啟6:11）。當年耶穌進入耶路撒冷，作為謙卑的王者的祂曾走過鋪滿棕樹枝的路。擁戴祂的人喊「和撒那」，呼求祂的拯救。並告訴孩子們，祂要作一件新事，從前的事將不再被紀念，祂要在曠野開道路，在沙漠開江河（賽43:19）！

Jesus gifted each child a clean, white robe. Their garments have been washed by His precious blood and were made white（Rev 7:14）. Jesus asked the children to wait a little while, for His glory and vengeance are quickly approaching (Rev: 6:11). The path was covered with palm branches echoing Jesus’ reknowned entry into Jerusalem as the Servant King before His suffering on the cross. Those who welcomed Him cried out “Hosanna” for hope and deliverance (John 12:13).

耶穌領我們走進光明中，將來日間再不需太陽，晚間也不需要月亮，因為神要作我們永遠的亮光、永遠的榮耀，哀傷的日子要完結了。(賽60:19)

The future will unfold like so: The sun will be our light by day no more nor will the moon shine on us by night, for God Himself will be our everlasting Light and eternal glory, and the days of sorrow will come to an end (Isaiah 60:19-20).

各地、各族、各方都要來敬拜祂，他們身穿白衣，手拿棕樹枝，並且晝夜來到祂的跟前事奉祂（啟 7:9）。耶穌要永遠牧養他們，也要領他們到活水的泉源，並抹去他們一切的淚水（啟 7:17）。

People from every land, every tribe, and every nation will come to worship Him. They will be dressed in white robes, holding palm branches, and they will serve Him day and night in His temple (Rev 7:9). Jesus will be their Shepherd forever—He will tend them, lead them to springs of Living Water, and wipe away every tear from their eyes. (Rev 7:17)
