司布真每日靈修(日) Morning by Morning 四月十七日 經文: 「新約的中保耶穌，以及所灑的血；這血所說的，比亞伯的血所說的更美。」（希伯來書十二：24） 讀者們，你有沒有就近這寶血泉？這不在乎你對這知識的認知，或是對儀文禮節的遵守，或是你曾有過怎樣的經驗，乃在於你有沒有來到救主的寶血泉？耶穌的寶血是一切教義的精髓。若你真正的來就耶穌，我們知道你是怎麼來的──聖靈帶領你來，你軟弱無望，謙卑愧疚地來到主前，此時惟有寶血是你永遠的希望。你膽戰心驚，巍顫顫地來到十架面前，聽到寶血滴滴落地的聲音，這是何等的天音妙樂，每一聲都是罪人的救命音符！我們雖然混身充滿罪，但耶穌叫我們抬頭看祂，那一滴一滴迸落的鮮血，像是在說：「成了！我已經撤銷所有的罪據，預備了公義的外袍。」喔，多麼寶貴的話語，而且你一次就近寶血，就永遠得救。但你要每天來到寶血泉旁，才能得著生活的喜樂與安慰。 Morning, April 17 Scripture: "We are come to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel."(Hebrews 12:24) Reader, have you come to the blood of sprinkling? The question is not whether you have come to a knowledge of doctrine, or an observance of ceremonies, or to a certain form of experience, but have you come to the blood of Jesus? The blood of Jesus is the life of all vital godliness. If you have truly come to Jesus, we know how you came—the Holy Spirit sweetly brought you there. You came to the blood of sprinkling with no merits of your own. Guilty, lost, and helpless, you came to take that blood, and that blood alone, as your everlasting hope. You came to the cross of Christ, with a trembling and an aching heart; and oh! what a precious sound it was to you to hear the voice of the blood of Jesus! The dropping of his blood is as the music of heaven to the penitent sons of earth. We are full of sin, but the Saviour bids us lift our eyes to him, and as we gaze upon his streaming wounds, each drop of blood, as it falls, cries, "It is finished; I have made an end of sin; I have brought in everlasting righteousness." Oh! sweet language of the precious blood of Jesus! If you have come to that blood once, you will come to it constantly. Your life will be "Looking unto Jesus." Your whole conduct will be epitomized in this—"To whom coming." Not to whom I have come, but to whom I am always coming. If thou hast ever come to the blood of sprinkling, thou wilt feel thy need of coming to it every day. He who does not desire to wash in it every day, has never washed in it at all. The believer ever feels it to be his joy and privilege that there is still a fountain opened. Past experiences are doubtful food for Christians; a present coming to Christ alone can give us joy and comfort. This morning let us sprinkle our door-post fresh with blood, and then feast upon the Lamb, assured that the destroying angel must pass us by. www.glorypress.com
