經文: 祂的根源從亙古、從太初就有。（彌迦書五：2）
遠在人類出現之前，主耶穌已在寶座前成為祂子民的代表。從「太初」耶穌就已經為了祂的子民與父上帝立約，以寶血換血、以憂傷換取憂傷、以痛苦換取痛苦、以死亡代替死亡。從「太初」，祂就毫無怨言地付出自己，從頭頂至腳底滴出血滴。祂被鞭打、被刺傷、被戲弄，且被死亡的痛苦壓碎了。在你誕生在這世上以前，基督就已經愛你了。祂從太初就已開始拯救你了。現在祂會失去你嗎？祂以雙手抱持你如同珍貴的珠寶。祂會讓你從祂的指間滑掉嗎？諸山未曾生出、深淵未曾掘出，祂已揀選了你。祂現在會丟棄你嗎？不可能的！祂若不是永不改變的愛，早就不會愛我了。祂若對我厭倦，早就對我不耐了。祂對我的愛若不是如地獄般深、如死亡般強烈，祂早就離棄我了。哦，讓我們喜上加喜，因為我們是祂永遠的、不能被剝奪的產業，在創世以前天父已經賜予祂了。今夜，我能頭枕此永恆的愛而安睡！

Scripture: "Whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting"(Micah 5:2)
The Lord Jesus had goings forth for his people as their representative before the throne, long before they appeared upon the stage of time. It was "from everlasting" that he signed the compact with his Father, that he would pay blood for blood, suffering for suffering, agony for agony, and death for death, in the behalf of his people; it was "from everlasting" that he gave himself up without a murmuring word. That from the crown of his head to the sole of his foot he might sweat great drops of blood, that he might be spit upon, pierced, mocked, rent asunder, and crushed beneath the pains of death. His goings forth as our Surety were from everlasting. Pause, my soul, and wonder! Thou hast goings forth in the person of Jesus "from everlasting." Not only when thou wast born into the world did Christ love thee, but his delights were with the sons of men before there were any sons of men. Often did he think of them; from everlasting to everlasting he had set his affection upon them. What! my soul, has he been so long about thy salvation, and will not he accomplish it? Has he from everlasting been going forth to save me, and will he lose me now? What! Has he carried me in his hand, as his precious jewel, and will he now let me slip from between his fingers? Did he choose me before the mountains were brought forth, or the channels of the deep were digged, and will he reject me now? Impossible! I am sure he would not have loved me so long if he had not been a changeless Lover. If he could grow weary of me, he would have been tired of me long before now. If he had not loved me with a love as deep as hell, and as strong as death, he would have turned from me long ago. Oh, joy above all joys, to know that I am his everlasting and inalienable inheritance, given to him by his Father or ever the earth was! Everlasting love shall be the pillow for my head this night.
