白白捨去

經文: 「上帝既不愛惜自己的兒子，為我們眾人捨了，豈不也把萬物和祂一同白白的賜給我們嗎﹖」(羅馬書八：32)

若這應許不是流於形式的空話，就必是事實。的確，這不僅是個應許而已，這是應許的總和，就像個聚寶盆，所有的鑽石、珍珠、瑪瑙，在金飾器皿的烘托下，更加燦爛耀眼！上帝既然把耶穌都給了我們，還有什麼好處不留下給我們﹖還有什麼禱告不蒙應允﹖天上地下，若有什麼需要，祂總會賜下。我們還憂愁什麼﹖若上帝有所保留，祂就不會白白把獨生愛子賜給我們了！

我今天要什麼﹖我只要單純地、迫切地向上帝求，上帝絕不是小氣、很勉強才給禮物的上帝，祂是樂於施恩的天父。祂按著自己心意，賜下祂的獨子。當然，無人膽敢向祂提議，求這個禮物，因為這太僭越自大了。而是上帝甘願無條件地將祂的獨生愛子賜給我們，如此我們還不能信任上帝會賜給你一切﹖禱告並不一定要苦苦哀求，或奮力掙扎才有效，全能的上帝，祂的慈愛，像泉水般，會自己湧出，供應我們一切的缺乏。


He Freely Gives

Scripture: "He that spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?"(Romans 8:32).

If this is not a promise in form, it is in fact. Indeed, it is more than one promise, it is a conglomerate of promises. It is a mass of rubies, and emeralds, and diamonds, with a nugget of gold for their setting. It is a question which can never be answered so as to cause us any anxiety of heart. What can the LORD deny us after giving us Jesus? If we need all things in heaven and earth, He will grant them to us: for if there had been a limit anywhere, He would have kept back His own Son.
What do I want today? I have only to ask for it. I may seek earnestly, but not as if I had to use pressure and extort an unwilling gift from the LORD's hand; for He will give freely. Of His own He gave us His own Son. Certainly no one would have proposed such a gift to Him. No one would have ventured to ask for it. It would have been too presumptuous. He freely gave His Only-begotten, and, O my soul, canst thou not trust thy heavenly Father to give thee anything, to give thee everything? Thy poor prayer would have no force with Omnipotence if force were needed; but His love, like a spring, rises of itself and overflows for the supply of all thy needs.
