經文: 過犯得以赦免，乃是照祂豐富的恩典。（以弗所書一：7）

當罪人聽到赦免二字時，在他耳中還會有比這更甜美的字眼嗎？當饒恕的愛光照入已被定罪之人的牢房內，將滅亡的人在絕望的午夜中見到一線希望，這愛光就是永遠的祝福。我的罪永遠被赦免了，這是可能的嗎？罪人的目的地是地獄，如果罪仍留在我身上，我將不可能逃脫。罪擔能被挪去，朱紅污漬能被除去嗎？耶穌告訴我因為祂，我能稱義。贖罪大愛之啓示不僅告訴我赦免是可能的，並且對一切安息在耶穌之內的人是有保障的。我相信耶穌寶血的救贖，因為祂代罪之痛苦及受死，我的罪到得永遠的赦免。我心向祂獻上一切讚美，因為祂的大愛，成為我的替身、完成了我的救贖。白白的赦免展現了何等豐富的恩典啊！恩典赦免一切、完全赦免、白白的赦免、永遠的赦免！當我回想過去的罪是多麼深重，將我從罪中洗淨的寶貴血滴是何等珍貴，而這恩典的行動印證了我得饒恕，我心就充滿驚訝、崇敬與愛情。我俯伏在赦免我的寶座前，我緊握那解救我的十字架。藉著這位道成肉身的上帝，現在我要服事祂。

Scripture: "The forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace."(Ephesians 1:7)

Could there be a sweeter word in any language than that word "forgiveness," when it sounds in a guilty sinner's ear, like the silver notes of jubilee to the captive Israelite? Blessed, for ever blessed be that dear star of pardon which shines into the condemned cell, and gives the perishing a gleam of hope amid the midnight of despair! Can it be possible that sin, such sin as mine, can be forgiven, forgiven altogether, and for ever? Hell is my portion as a sinner—there is no possibility of my escaping from it while sin remains upon me—can the load of guilt be uplifted, the crimson stain removed? Can the adamantine stones of my prison-house ever be loosed from their mortices, or the doors be lifted from their hinges? Jesus tells me that I may yet be clear. For ever blessed be the revelation of atoning love which not only tells me that pardon is possible, but that it is secured to all who rest in Jesus. I have believed in the appointed propitiation, even Jesus crucified, and therefore my sins are at this moment, and for ever, forgiven by virtue of his substitutionary pains and death. What joy is this! What bliss to be a perfectly pardoned soul! My soul dedicates all her powers to him who of his own unpurchased love became my surety, and wrought out for me redemption through his blood. What riches of grace does free forgiveness exhibit! To forgive at all, to forgive fully, to forgive freely, to forgive for ever! Here is a constellation of wonders; and when I think of how great my sins were, how dear were the precious drops which cleansed me from them, and how gracious was the method by which pardon was sealed home to me, I am in a maze of wondering worshipping affection. I bow before the throne which absolves me, I clasp the cross which delivers me, I serve henceforth all my days the Incarnate God, through whom I am this night a pardoned soul.
