經文: 「我要保護你，使你做眾民的中保。」(以賽亞書四十九：8)

耶穌本身就是福音的總結，中保的化身。祂是一份禮物，信徒心中的寶貝。弟兄姐妹們，你們可知這寶貝有多麼奇妙？「因為上帝本性一切的豐盛，都有形有體的居住在基督裡面。」（西二：9）思想「上帝」這詞，以及祂的無限神性，想像你也可有份於神子耶穌的美。這位無所不在、無所不知、無所不能的上帝，祂能源源不絕地供應你力量，剛強你裡面的人，幫助你克服仇敵；祂長闊高深的愛，也一滴不剩地全部留給你，保守你直到到世界的末了。祂不但有慈愛，也有公義，這聽起來有點嚴厲，但別怕，因著祂的公義，信守承諾，祂要將經上的應許成就在你身上，使你做完全人，蒙上帝悅納。喔！弟兄們，你可知上帝悅納你，因耶穌已蒙悅納；上帝的大愛，現在就已臨到你，因為那無瑕疵、無玷污，上帝的羔羊、已獻上為挽回祭，我們這些罪人，可以靠祂得以稱義，耶穌基督真是眾人的中保。

Scripture: "I will give thee for a covenant of the people."(Isaiah 49:8)

Jesus Christ is himself the sum and substance of the covenant, and as one of its gifts. He is the property of every believer. Believer, canst thou estimate what thou hast gotten in Christ? "In him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily." Consider that word "God" and its infinity, and then meditate upon "perfect man" and all his beauty; for all that Christ, as God and man, ever had, or can have, is thine—out of pure free favour, passed over to thee to be thine entailed property forever. Our blessed Jesus, as God, is omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent. Will it not console you to know that all these great and glorious attributes are altogether yours? Has he power? That power is yours to support and strengthen you, to overcome your enemies, and to preserve you even to the end. Has he love? Well, there is not a drop of love in his heart which is not yours; you may dive into the immense ocean of his love, and you may say of it all, "It is mine." Hath he justice? It may seem a stern attribute, but even that is yours, for he will by his justice see to it that all which is promised to you in the covenant of grace shall be most certainly secured to you. And all that he has as perfect man is yours. As a perfect man the Father's delight was upon him. He stood accepted by the Most High. O believer, God's acceptance of Christ is thine acceptance; for knowest thou not that the love which the Father set on a perfect Christ, he sets on thee now? For all that Christ did is thine. That perfect righteousness which Jesus wrought out, when through his stainless life he kept the law and made it honourable, is thine, and is imputed to thee. Christ is in the covenant.

"My God, I am thine—what a comfort divine!
What a blessing to know that the Saviour is mine!
In the heavenly Lamb thrice happy I am,
And my heart it doth dance at the sound of his name."
