經文: 人子在祂父的榮耀�，同聖天使降臨的時候。（馬可福音八：38）

倘若我們曾經在耶穌所受的羞辱中有份，當祂再來的時候，我們就可以分享祂的榮耀。你今天與基督耶穌同在嗎？是否有一生命的聯結將你與祂交織在一起？若然你必在祂所受的羞辱中有份。你必須背起祂的十字架與祂一起出到營外，忍受祂所受的凌辱（參閱來十三：13）。那麼，當十字架換成冠冕的時候，你也必與祂在一起。但是，倘若與祂同受苦難的事上，你退縮了，那麼當王與祂的聖天使降臨時，你就不能明白那喜樂的豐盛。請注意眾天使是與祂同在的！祂當然也接納亞伯拉罕的後裔。倘若你是祂所親愛的，你不會遠離祂。倘若你已嫁給祂，你還會遠離祂嗎？即使面臨審判的日子，你也不會遠離祂的心。祂允許眾天使與祂親近，也必引你與祂聯合。祂對你說：「我必聘你永遠歸我為妻，以仁義、公平、慈愛、憐憫、聘你歸我。」（何二：19）。祂親口說：「我作你們的丈夫。」（耶三：14）。倘若眾天使可以與祂同在，當然祂所愛的，祂所喜悅的必能在祂身旁，坐在祂的右邊。這是希望的晨星，閃耀出無比的光輝，照亮最黑暗、最荒蕪的角落。

Scripture: "When he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels."(Mark 8:38)

If we have been partakers with Jesus in his shame, we shall be sharers with him in the lustre which shall surround him when he appears again in glory. Art thou, beloved one, with Christ Jesus? Does a vital union knit thee to him? Then thou art to-day with him in his shame; thou hast taken up his cross, and gone with him without the camp bearing his reproach; thou shalt doubtless be with him when the cross is exchanged for the crown. But judge thyself this evening; for if thou art not with him in the regeneration, neither shalt thou be with him when he shall come in his glory. If thou start back from the black side of communion, thou shalt not understand its bright, its happy period, when the King shall come, and all his holy angels with him. What! are angels with him? And yet he took not up angels—he took up the seed of Abraham. Are the holy angels with him? Come, my soul, if thou art indeed his own beloved, thou canst not be far from him. If his friends and his neighbours are called together to see his glory, what thinkest thou if thou art married to him? Shalt thou be distant? Though it be a day of judgment, yet thou canst not be far from that heart which, having admitted angels into intimacy, has admitted thee into union. Has he not said to thee, O my soul, "I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness?" Have not his own lips said it, "I am married unto thee, and my delight is in thee?" If the angels, who are but friends and neighbours, shall be with him, it is abundantly certain that his own beloved Hephzibah, in whom is all his delight, shall be near to him, and sit at his right hand. Here is a morning star of hope for thee, of such exceeding brilliance, that it may well light up the darkest and most desolate experience.
