經文: 「你要在基督耶穌的恩典上剛強起來。」（提摩太後書二：1）

在耶穌裡有無限的恩典，而且祂樂於施恩，只要屬祂的人向祂求，祂就毫無保留地、涓滴不剩地，傾囊給予：「從祂豐富的恩典裡，我們都領受了，而且恩上加恩。」（約一：16）似乎祂的豐富，就是為了要供應信徒一切所需。就像一棵樹，長出纍纍果實，為要供給需要的人採用；就像祂在十架所流的寶血，是公平地分給一切相信祂的人，祂的恩典也是分給一切信靠祂的人，並不偏特任何人。
藉著這樣的流通，耶穌與信徒之間有了美好的喫合與溝通。這樣的溝通是真實的；有如樹幹流出樹汁供應樹枝的需要，信徒從耶穌那兒支取需用的恩典，也是瞭然於心，明明可知的。不但如此，我們更以與耶穌坐席交談為樂。讓我們天天坦然無懼，殷勤快樂地來到上帝面前，支取每天需用的智慧、能力、與愛心，就像我們到銀行自己的戶頭，自由領用需用的錢一般。


Morning, March 15

Scripture: "Be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus."(2 Timothy 2:1)

Christ has grace without measure in himself, but he hath not retained it for himself. As the reservoir empties itself into the pipes, so hath Christ emptied out his grace for his people. "Of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace." He seems only to have in order to dispense to us. He stands like the fountain, always flowing, but only running in order to supply the empty pitchers and the thirsty lips which draw nigh unto it. Like a tree, he bears sweet fruit, not to hang on boughs, but to be gathered by those who need. Grace, whether its work be to pardon, to cleanse, to preserve, to strengthen, to enlighten, to quicken, or to restore, is ever to be had from him freely and without price; nor is there one form of the work of grace which he has not bestowed upon his people. As the blood of the body, though flowing from the heart, belongs equally to every member, so the influences of grace are the inheritance of every saint united to the Lamb; and herein there is a sweet communion between Christ and his Church, inasmuch as they both receive the same grace. Christ is the head upon which the oil is first poured; but the same oil runs to the very skirts of the garments, so that the meanest saint has an unction of the same costly moisture as that which fell upon the head. This is true communion when the sap of grace flows from the stem to the branch, and when it is perceived that the stem itself is sustained by the very nourishment which feeds the branch. As we day by day receive grace from Jesus, and more constantly recognize it as coming from him, we shall behold him in communion with us, and enjoy the felicity of communion with him. Let us make daily use of our riches, and ever repair to him as to our own Lord in covenant, taking from him the supply of all we need with as much boldness as men take money from their own purse.
