Signet Ring of Authority
“Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Because God has shown you all of this, there is no one so discreet and wise as you. You shall be over my house, and according to your word will all my people be ruled. Only in the throne I will be greater than you.” Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Behold, I have set you over all the land of Egypt.” Pharaoh took off his signet ring from his hand, and put it on Joseph’s hand, and arrayed him in robes of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck, and he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had. They cried before him, “Bow the knee!” He set him over all the land of Egypt. Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh, and without you shall no man lift up his hand or his foot in all the land of Egypt.”” (Genesis 41:39-44 WEB)
Before Pharaoh put on the signet ring on Joseph’s hand, he spoke, giving Joseph authority over the nation of Egypt. The ring therefore represents the authority of the King. Whoever wears the ring has been authorized to act on the King’s behalf, and the Kingdom’s resources are at this person’s disposal.
In the story of Joseph, Joseph is a picture of Jesus, who was accused of committing a crime that He did not commit, and then subsequently raised to the right hand of God, having all authority and power, as well as the name above every other name.
Jesus endured the greatest humiliation in order to purchase the greatest salvation for mankind. That is why Abba God gave Jesus the “signet ring”—all authority, glory, honor, and power.
We don’t really find any significant thing about rings until Jesus mentions it in His parable of the prodigal son. I believe He was drawing a reference to the story of Joseph because the “best robe” also parallels with the “robes of fine linen” that Pharaoh gave to Joseph.
““But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring out the best robe, and put it on him. Put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet. Bring the fattened calf, kill it, and let us eat, and celebrate; for this, my son, was dead, and is alive again. He was lost, and is found.’ They began to celebrate.” (Luke 15:22-24 WEB)
In the parable, we find that the ring is given to the prodigal son who is a picture of us who are saved by Grace through faith. We did not do anything to deserve forgiveness, but God forgave and restored us to sonship because of His love and Grace.
So Jesus was the original recipient of the ring, and then Jesus said that Abba God gave the ring to us.
In the context of the parable, a family ring like that would have an insignia of the rich family, and when buying things, the prodigal son could just show the signet, meaning to say, “Charge the bill to my father’s tab.”
The ring being given to us tells us that we have received authority from God to act in His name, and to receive good things because of being in His family. We enjoy all these benefits at God’s expense, and He is most willing to provide what we need.
“The glory which you have given me, I have given to them; that they may be one, even as we are one; I in them, and you in me, that they may be perfected into one; that the world may know that you sent me, and loved them, even as you loved me.” (John 17:22-23 WEB)
Before Jesus was arrested and eventually crucified, He prayed to the Father that the glory which belonged to Him (Jesus) should be given to us as well. This is like giving the signet ring which was His, to us.
See yourself as one with God, and make no distinction between what is His and what is yours. We have been joined to Christ through the new birth and the New Covenant of Grace.
““He said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours.” (Luke 15:31 WEB)
Do you believe this, that everything that belongs to God also belongs to you? You are so wealthy because God gave you every spiritual blessing so that you lack nothing.
Whenever you feel like you have nothing, use the signet ring as a visual aid. Imagine Abba God placing it on your finger and reminding you that all authority that belongs to Jesus has also been given to you. In Christ, you have everything that you need!

Are We Baptized with Fire?
“I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. His winnowing fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor, and gather His wheat into the barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.””(Matthew 3:11-12 NKJV)
I have read what some believers wrote about the passage above, saying that we need the baptism of the Holy Spirit and fire. I imagine that many well-intentioned preachers are also preaching this passionately in a loud voice to their congregation.
They totally misunderstood what being baptized with fire means.
If you read the passage above carefully, you will notice that the sentence about the baptism of Holy Spirit and fire is parallel to the next sentence.
In the next sentence, the “Holy Spirit” is a parallel with God’s “wheat” being gathered into the barn, while “fire” is a parallel with the “chaff” being burnt up with unquenchable fire.
The baptism of fire is not a good thing to experience!
When we read the Amplified Bible translation of the passage, the meaning becomes very clear:
““As for me, I baptize you with water because of [your] repentance [that is, because you are willing to change your inner self—your old way of thinking, regret your sin and live a changed life], but He (the Messiah) who is coming after me is mightier [more powerful, more noble] than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to remove [even as His slave]; He will baptize you [who truly repent] with the Holy Spirit and [you who remain unrepentant] with fire (judgment). His winnowing fork is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clear out His threshing floor; and He will gather His wheat (believers) into His barn (kingdom), but He will burn up the chaff (the unrepentant) with unquenchable fire.”” (Matthew 3:11-12 AMP)
The word “baptize” means “to immerse”, like when you dive into a pool, you are immersed with water.
Believers are baptized with the Holy Spirit, whereas unbelievers will be baptized with the fires of Hell and the lake of fire.
The wages of sin is death, and sin has to be punished. Being burnt by the fires of Hell is the way which unbelievers have to pay for their sins, since they rejected the payment which Jesus made on their behalf; it is not set to their account. This fiery eternal torment is what being baptized with fire means.
Therefore a person cannot be baptized with both the Holy Spirit and with fire—it is only one or the other, depending on whether he receives or rejects Jesus as Lord.
So please, don’t tell believers that they have to be baptized with fire, for being burnt up like chaff in unquenchable fire is NOT their portion!

【Can we value good journalism more?】#雙語文章
English:
Instant news, out-of-context headlines and social media posts are capable of giving information on an event, incident or conflict. But these messages will only be like scattered pieces of knowledge compiled in our head without any meaning and connection.
In contrast, good journalism, on which critical thinking and media literacy are built, is supposed to provide more context and make readers feel, think, and care.
So, before the tech giants tighten their grip on the news industry, we need to take action to financially support the media we respect and trust, value the good work they put into, and never take good stories for granted. →
中文:
即時新聞、斷章取義的標題與社群媒體上的貼文,或許足以提供一件事情、意外或衝突的發生資訊,但這些訊息就像散落一地的知識碎片,在人們的腦中堆疊,卻缺乏意義與連結性。
相對來說,理應提供更多完整資訊的優質新聞,才能真實建立起「批判性思考」與「媒體識讀」的能力,幫助讀者去感受、去思考、去關切。
因此,在科技巨擘進一步強化他們對新聞產業的掌控之前,我們必需採取行動付費支持我們信賴的媒體、看重他們致力產出的內容,並別再把優質報導視為理所當然。→
