義怒與慈愛

經文: ��「必再憐憫我們，將我們的罪孽踏在腳下，又將我們的一切罪投於深海。」（彌迦書七︰19）

上帝絕對不會收回祂的愛，而會很快從祂的怒氣中轉回。祂對選民的愛是出於祂的本性，祂的怒氣是出於祂的管教。祂愛我們，因為祂就是愛；祂對我們不悅，是因為我們犯錯。上帝會回到祂心所安然居住的地方，換句話說，祂要住在愛祂、也為祂所愛的人心中，知道我們的憂傷，並設法以喜樂代之。�

這應許多好啊！「祂要除去我們的不義！」罪惡想勝過我們，急切地想俘虜我們為奴，但上帝用祂的右手擊打他們，就像對待迦南地的異族，生擒他們，將他們伏在軛下，最後殺戮他們。至於我們的罪過不義，能被除掉洗淨，這是何等榮耀！

是「所有的罪」都可以被洗淨塗抹，想想啊！這奇妙的聖工，惟有全能的膀臂可以做到！「把它丟到大海的深處！」就像法老王和祂的戰車戰馬墜入紅海，不是在淺處被水沖刷後再起來，乃是掉到「深處」，永遠不得再翻身！我們的罪也要這樣被埋在海的深處，永遠不再被提，就像磨石被扔在海裡，從此不見蹤影。哈利路亞，榮耀歸主名！�


From Anger to Love

Scripture: "He will turn again, He will have compassion upon us; He will subdue our iniquities; and Thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea" (Micah 7:19).

God never turns from His love, but He soon turns from His wrath. His love to His chosen is according to His nature; His anger is only according to His office. He loves because He is love; He frowns because it is necessary for our good. He will come back to the place in which His heart rests, namely, His love to His own, and then He will take pity upon our griefs and end them.

What a choice promise is this--"He will subdue our iniquities"! He will conquer them. They cry to enslave us, but the LORD will give us victory over them by His own right hand. Like the Canaanites, they shall be beaten, put under the yoke, and ultimately slain.

As for the guilt of our sins, how gloriously is that removed! "All their sins"--yes, the whole host of them; "thou wilt cast"--only an almighty arm could perform such a wonder; "into the depths of the sea"--where Pharaoh and his chariots went down. Not into the shallows out of which they might be washed up by the tide, but into the "depths" shall our sins be hurled. They are all gone. They sank into the bottom like a stone. Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
