經文: 我愛你們，正如父愛我一樣。（約翰福音十五：9）

神聖的愛究竟像什麼？父上帝愛耶穌是無始的，耶穌也以同樣的愛愛祂的子民。「我以永遠的愛、愛你。」（耶三十一：3）你很容易就能發現你對基督的愛是從何開始，但是祂對我們的愛卻是一股溪流，其源頭藏於永�之中。父上帝愛耶穌是永不改變的。耶穌基督向那些安息在祂�面之人的愛也永不改變。昨日，可能你在山巔上，你說：「祂愛我。」今日，你可能處於屈辱之谷，祂仍同樣愛你。在高的海拔上，你聽到祂以音樂般甜美清楚的聲音向你說出祂的愛。現在，在大海上，甚至在海中，驚濤巨浪幾乎將你吞噬，祂的心仍然忠於祂那一貫的聲音。父上帝對聖子的愛是無終的。聖子也照樣愛祂的子民。你不必害怕，因為祂對你的愛永不停止。你要滿有信心，即使你下到墳墓中，基督也與你同住，然後，祂要引你上升至天上的山。父上帝對聖子的愛是無法量度的，聖子對祂所揀選的人也施予相同不可量度的愛。基督的全心都獻給祂的子民。祂愛我們，為我們捨己（加二：20）。祂的愛超越我們所能理解的。我們有一位不變的救主，一位寶貴的救主，祂的愛無法量度、永不改變、無始也無終，祂愛我們正如父上帝愛祂！

Scripture: "As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you."(John 15:9)

As the Father loves the Son, in the same manner Jesus loves his people. What is that divine method? He loved him without beginning, and thus Jesus loves his members. "I have loved thee with an everlasting love." You can trace the beginning of human affection; you can easily find the beginning of your love to Christ, but his love to us is a stream whose source is hidden in eternity. God the Father loves Jesus without any change. Christian, take this for your comfort, that there is no change in Jesus Christ's love to those who rest in him. Yesterday you were on Tabor's top, and you said, "He loves me:" to-day you are in the valley of humiliation, but he loves you still the same. On the hill Mizar, and among the Hermons, you heard his voice, which spake so sweetly with the turtle-notes of love; and now on the sea, or even in the sea, when all his waves and billows go over you, his heart is faithful to his ancient choice. The Father loves the Son without any end, and thus does the Son love his people. Saint, thou needest not fear the loosing of the silver cord, for his love for thee will never cease. Rest confident that even down to the grave Christ will go with you, and that up again from it he will be your guide to the celestial hills. Moreover, the Father loves the Son without any measure, and the same immeasurable love the Son bestows upon his chosen ones. The whole heart of Christ is dedicated to his people. He "loved us and gave himself for us." His is a love which passeth knowledge. Ah! we have indeed an immutable Saviour, a precious Saviour, one who loves without measure, without change, without beginning, and without end, even as the Father loves him! There is much food here for those who know how to digest it. May the Holy Ghost lead us into its marrow and fatness!
