十二月三日

經文: 在戰場上有能的耶和華。（詩篇二十四：8）

上帝在祂百姓的眼中是配得榮耀的。祂在他們中間，藉他們的手為他們行了大奇事。主耶穌為他們戰勝每一個仇敵，藉祂的順服，破碎了敵人所有的武器。藉祂勝利的復活和升天，完全推翻了地獄的希望；藉祂的十字架，將我們的仇敵俘虜囚禁，教牠們公開蒙羞，撒但手中每一支瞄準我們的罪惡之箭都被折斷了，因為誰能控告上帝的選民呢？蒙拯救的人應當崇敬救他們的主，因為祂在他們心田的戰場上完全得勝了。他們天生仇恨之箭被折斷，悖逆之武器被粉碎了。人的意志一降服，罪的權威一被推翻，耶穌將得到何等大的榮耀！我們�面殘留的腐敗也必遭受同樣的挫敗，每一個試探、疑惑和憂慮更難逃毀滅一途。在我們祥和寧靜的心靈的深處，耶穌之名是高過一切的。我們也能滿有把握地期待勝利。「然而靠著愛我們的主，在這一切的事上，已經得勝有餘了。」（羅八：37）藉我們的信心，熱心和聖潔，能顛覆世界的黑暗權勢。我們能為耶穌贏得罪人，能推翻錯誤的制度，能教社會改變，因為上帝與我們同在，沒有人能敵擋我們。今晚，願基督的勇士高唱戰歌，預備投入明日的戰鬥──「因為那在你們�面的，比那在世界上的更大。」（約壹四：4）

Evening, December 3

Scripture: "The Lord mighty in battle."(Psalm 24:8)

Well may our God be glorious in the eyes of his people, seeing that he has wrought such wonders for them, in them, and by them. For them, the Lord Jesus upon Calvary routed every foe, breaking all the weapons of the enemy in pieces by his finished work of satisfactory obedience; by his triumphant resurrection and ascension he completely overturned the hopes of hell, leading captivity captive, making a show of our enemies openly, triumphing over them by his cross. Every arrow of guilt which Satan might have shot at us is broken, for who can lay anything to the charge of God's elect? Vain are the sharp swords of infernal malice, and the perpetual battles of the serpent's seed, for in the midst of the church the lame take the prey, and the feeblest warriors are crowned.

The saved may well adore their Lord for his conquests in them, since the arrows of their natural hatred are snapped, and the weapons of their rebellion broken. What victories has grace won in our evil hearts! How glorious is Jesus when the will is subdued, and sin dethroned! As for our remaining corruptions, they shall sustain an equally sure defeat, and every temptation, and doubt, and fear, shall be utterly destroyed. In the Salem of our peaceful hearts, the name of Jesus is great beyond compare: he has won our love, and he shall wear it. Even thus securely may we look for victories by us. We are more than conquerors through him that loved us. We shall cast down the powers of darkness which are in the world, by our faith, and zeal, and holiness; we shall win sinners to Jesus, we shall overturn false systems, we shall convert nations, for God is with us, and none shall stand before us. This evening let the Christian warrior chant the war song, and prepare for to-morrow's fight. Greater is he that is in us than he that is in the world.
