經文: 常在我�面。（約翰福音十五：4）

與基督相交是各種病痛得醫治的良藥。不論是憂傷的苦難或屬世的縱慾，與主耶穌親密相交可以除去苦澀和重壓。你若居於耶穌附近，無論你的居所是在受尊崇的高山上或在卑下的低谷中，上帝的雙翼將覆庇你，祂永久的膀臂在你下面（參閱申三十三：27）。但願沒有一事能攔阻你與主相交，那是與祂有婚約之靈的榮幸。常常尋求祂的陪絆，唯有祂的同在才有安慰和安全。耶穌並不是一位偶而來訪的朋友，祂是我們每天與之同行的同伴。天路客啊，不要離開你的引導者，在你前面有艱辛的道路。你可能要經過火燒的熔爐，除非上帝的兒子與你作伴，否則切勿進入。你自己的過錯就如同耶利哥城，你必須前去將它攻下。然而切勿貿然前赴戰場，除非你像約書亞一樣看到主軍隊的元師手持拔出來的劍。在每一件事、在每一情況中，你都需要耶穌。當死亡的鐵門敞開之時，你最最需要祂。緊密與你靈的良人同在，將你的頭緊靠在祂的胸膛上。倘若你在世上已與祂同住且住在祂�面，你能永遠與祂同在。

Scripture: "Abide in me."(John 15:4)

Communion with Christ is a certain cure for every ill. Whether it be the wormwood of woe, or the cloying surfeit of earthly delight, close fellowship with the Lord Jesus will take bitterness from the one, and satiety from the other. Live near to Jesus, Christian, and it is a matter of secondary importance whether thou livest on the mountain of honour or in the valley of humiliation. Living near to Jesus, thou art covered with the wings of God, and underneath thee are the everlasting arms. Let nothing keep thee from that hallowed intercourse, which is the choice privilege of a soul wedded to THE WELL-BELOVED . Be not content with an interview now and then, but seek always to retain his company, for only in his presence hast thou either comfort or safety. Jesus should not be unto us a friend who calls upon us now and then, but one with whom we walk evermore. Thou hast a difficult road before thee: see, O traveller to heaven, that thou go not without thy guide. Thou hast to pass through the fiery furnace; enter it not unless, like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, thou hast the Son of God to be thy companion. Thou hast to storm the Jericho of thine own corruptions: attempt not the warfare until, like Joshua, thou hast seen the Captain of the Lord's host, with his sword drawn in his hand. Thou art to meet the Esau of thy many temptations: meet him not until at Jabbok's brook thou hast laid hold upon the angel, and prevailed. In every case, in every condition, thou wilt need Jesus; but most of all, when the iron gates of death shall open to thee. Keep thou close to thy soul's Husband, lean thy head upon his bosom, ask to be refreshed with the spiced wine of his pomegranate, and thou shalt be found of him at the last, without spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing. Seeing thou hast lived with him, and lived in him here, thou shalt abide with him for ever.
