經文: 「你們是屬基督的，基督又是屬上帝的。」(哥林多前書三：23)

你是屬基督的，因為天父已把你賜給祂兒子，你是耶穌用寶血重價買贖回的，成為上帝家中的一員，耶穌有如我們的長兄，我們也可繼承天上的產業。所以，誘惑試探來臨時，我們要對它說：「撒旦，退去吧！這樣的事我不能做，因為我是屬基督的。」
<BR> 若能如此，即使財色當前，我也能無動於衷，提醒自己，君子愛財，取之有道，非我之分，切莫貪取。即使落入危險艱苦之境，我也不致坐困愁城，怨天尤人，反倒提醒自己，我是屬基督的，祂可以給我力量抵抗逆境。當我們汗流浹背，努力奮鬥，卻不見成果，我們幾乎要放棄，但想到我們是屬基督的，我們就不輕言放棄，反倒愈挫愈勇，相信必能反敗為勝。
<BR> 當上帝的呼召臨到，我們也不逃避，相信上帝必賜下勝任這工作的能力；有窮人需要我們，我們絕不塞住憐憫的心，吝於伸出援手，因為我們是屬基督的。總之，無論談話舉止，行事為人，處處都要顯示出基督徒的樣式，像拿撒勒人耶穌那樣，讓人看出我們是屬耶穌救主的。願這句話「我是屬基督的」，成為我們屬靈道路上的座右銘。


Morning, January 12

Scripture: "Ye are Christ's."(1 Corinthians 3:23)

"Ye are Christ's." You are his by donation, for the Father gave you to the Son; his by his bloody purchase, for he counted down the price for your redemption; his by dedication, for you have consecrated yourself to him; his by relation, for you are named by his name, and made one of his brethren and joint-heirs. Labour practically to show the world that you are the servant, the friend, the bride of Jesus. When tempted to sin, reply, "I cannot do this great wickedness, for I am Christ's." Immortal principles forbid the friend of Christ to sin. When wealth is before you to be won by sin, say that you are Christ's, and touch it not. Are you exposed to difficulties and dangers? Stand fast in the evil day, remembering that you are Christ's. Are you placed where others are sitting down idly, doing nothing? Rise to the work with all your powers; and when the sweat stands upon your brow, and you are tempted to loiter, cry, "No, I cannot stop, for I am Christ's. If I were not purchased by blood, I might be like Issachar, crouching between two burdens; but I am Christ's, and cannot loiter." When the siren song of pleasure would tempt you from the path of right, reply, "Thy music cannot charm me; I am Christ's." When the cause of God invites thee, give thy goods and thyself away, for thou art Christ's. Never belie thy profession. Be thou ever one of those whose manners are Christian, whose speech is like the Nazarene, whose conduct and conversation are so redolent of heaven, that all who see you may know that you are the Saviour's, recognizing in you his features of love and his countenance of holiness. "I am a Roman!" was of old a reason for integrity; far more, then, let it be your argument for holiness, "I am Christ's!"
