Only Christ can satisfy your deepest needs.

唯有基督能满足你最深的需要。

Within every man and woman is a hunger and thirst only God can satisfy. That's why Jesus said, "I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me shall not hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst" (John 6:35).

每个人的里面有一种饥饿和干渴，唯有神能满足。这就是为什么耶稣说，“我就是生命的粮。到我这里来的，必定不饿；信我的，永远不渴”（约6：35）。

Sadly, most people search for happiness in the wrong places. The prodigal son in Luke 15 is one example. He turned from God to pursue sinful pleasures, but soon discovered that sin cannot satisfy a hungering soul. That's when he returned to his father's house, where he was given a great feast—a picture of salvation.

可悲的是，大部分人在错误的地方找幸福。路加福音15章中的浪子就是一个例子。他离开神去追逐罪中的享乐，但不久发现，罪不能满足一个饥饿的灵魂。当他回转返回他的父家，他得到了一顿丰盛的美筵——好一幅救恩的图画！

The rich fool in Luke 12 thought that amassing possessions was the key to happiness, saying to himself, "What shall I do, since I have no place to store my crops? . . . This is what I will do: I will tear down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. And I will say to my soul, 'Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years to come; take your ease, eat, drink and be merry.' But God said to him, 'You fool! This very night your soul is required of you; and now who will own what you have prepared?' So is the man who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God" (vv. 17- 21). Unlike the prodigal son, the rich fool never turned to God in repentance. Consequently he lost everything.

路加福音12中，愚蠢的富人以为累积财富是通往幸福的关键，他对自己说：“我的出产没有地方收藏，怎么办呢？……我要这么办：要把我的仓房拆了，另盖更大的，在那里收藏好我一切的粮食和财物，然后要对我的灵魂说：‘灵魂哪，你有许多财物积存，可作多年的费用，只管安安逸逸地吃喝快乐吧！’神却对他说：‘无知的人哪，今夜必要你的灵魂；你所预备的要归给谁呢？’凡为自己积财，在神面前却不富足的，也是这样”（17-21节）。和浪子不同，这个富人从未悔改转向神。最终他失去了一切所有。

The rich fool is typical of many people today: they ignore Christ and attempt to fill the void with worldly pleasures. Most are oblivious to the eternal peril that awaits them if they don't repent.

这个愚蠢的富人是今天许多人的写照：这些人对基督不予理睬，企图用世俗的享乐满足空虚。他们多数人对于“如果不悔改，必有永恒的灭亡等待他们”不以为意。

Those who love God shun worldliness, pursue righteousness, and know the satisfaction that comes from pleasing Him. That's the essence of the Sermon on the Mount: "Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness; and all [you need] will be added to you" (Matt. 6:33). Keep that goal uppermost in your mind as you face the challenge of each new day.

那些爱神的人躲避世界，追求公义，他们知道人的满足来自讨神喜悦。这也是登山宝训的精髓：“你们要先求他的国和他的义，这些东西都要加给你们了”（太6：33）。当你面对新一天的挑战，请将这个作为你思想的最高目标！

Thank God that He satisfies the deepest desires of your heart.

感谢神满足你心灵最深的渴望。
