一月二十八日

經文: 「要把各人在基督裡完完全全地引到上帝面前。」(歌羅西書一：28)

你是否覺得你裡面毫無良善可言，離「完全」還差十萬八千里，所以你常會有憂傷的眼淚，悔恨的歎息，不智的話語，從口中出現。你多麼希望有一刻是言語明智，行事恰如其份，但事與願違，這夢想也不易達到。但這兒有一句話語，可以安慰你的心──「在基督裡得以完全」，在上帝的眼中，只要你住在耶穌裡，就可算為完全。就是現在，你也因著祂的愛子而蒙悅納。
<BR> 但還有一個「完全」有待完成，那是上帝應許給每位信徒的。也就是將來的寶座面前，每一位信徒都是無瑕疵，無玷污，無皺紋地侍立，我們是不是挺巴望這一天趕快來到？到那時，就是教會也是純潔雪白，找不到一絲污點。到那時，我們才能體會何謂「在基督裡的完全」，也才能完全領悟全備救恩的長闊高深內涵。耶穌把我們背道的罪挪開，洗淨墨墨如炭的罪，使我們潔淨白如雪，並在祂無與倫比的榮美上有份，能與天使為伍。喔！我的靈，嚮往這樣的境界，並讚美這有福音的真理吧！


Morning, January 28

Scripture: "Perfect in Christ Jesus."(Colossians 1:28)

Do you not feel in your own soul that perfection is not in you? Does not every day teach you that? Every tear which trickles from your eye, weeps "imperfection"; every harsh word which proceeds from your lip, mutters "imperfection." You have too frequently had a view of your own heart to dream for a moment of any perfection in yourself. But amidst this sad consciousness of imperfection, here is comfort for you—you are "perfect in Christ Jesus." In God's sight, you are "complete in him;" even now you are "accepted in the Beloved." But there is a second perfection, yet to be realized, which is sure to all the seed. Is it not delightful to look forward to the time when every stain of sin shall be removed from the believer, and he shall be presented faultless before the throne, without spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing? The Church of Christ then will be so pure, that not even the eye of Omniscience will see a spot or blemish in her; so holy and so glorious, that Hart did not go beyond the truth when he said—

"With my Saviour's garments on,
Holy as the Holy One."
Then shall we know, and taste, and feel the happiness of this vast but short sentence, "Complete in Christ." Not till then shall we fully comprehend the heights and depths of the salvation of Jesus. Doth not thy heart leap for joy at the thought of it? Black as thou art, thou shalt be white one day; filthy as thou art, thou shalt be clean. Oh, it is a marvellous salvation this! Christ takes a worm and transforms it into an angel; Christ takes a black and deformed thing and makes it clean and matchless in his glory, peerless in his beauty, and fit to be the companion of seraphs. O my soul, stand and admire this blessed truth of perfection in Christ.
