司布真每日靈修(夜) Evening by Evening 四月二十一日 經文: 在上帝的右邊。（羅馬書：34） 祂曾經被人藏視、被人棄絕，現在攡有蒙愛和尊榮的兒子地位。上帝的右邊是高貴並受寵的地方。我們的主耶穌是祂百姓的代表。當祂為他們死時，他們就得到赦免。當祂為他們復活時，他們便得到自由。當祂坐在父上帝的右邊時，他們就得到恩寵、尊榮與高貴。基督的復活與升天叫祂在所有百姓的地位升高，使他們被接納並得榮耀。祂坐在上帝的右邊，展現了基督被接納成為我們救恩的確據。上帝接納祂作為我們的代表，意思就是上帝接納我們的靈魂，使我們免於被定罪，而得自由。「誰能定他們的罪呢？」（羅八：34）誰能定那些在耶穌�，在上帝右邊的人之罪呢？右邊是能力的地方。基督在上帝的右邊，握有天上地下所有權能。元帥有如此權能，誰能敵擋祂的百姓呢？全能者若是幫助你，誰能毀滅你？全能者的翅膀若覆庇你，有甚麼利劍能傷害你？安心吧！耶穌是你的全勝王，祂已經將你的仇敵粉碎在祂的腳下。罪惡、死亡和地獄皆被祂擊敗了，而祂又作了你的代表，因此沒有何物能將你毀滅。 Evening, April 21 Scripture: "Who is even at the right hand of God."(Romans 8:34) He who was once despised and rejected of men, now occupies the honourable position of a beloved and honoured Son. The right hand of God is the place of majesty and favour. Our Lord Jesus is his people's representative. When he died for them they had rest; he rose again for them, they had liberty; when he sat down at his Father's right hand, they had favour, and honour, and dignity. The raising and elevation of Christ is the elevation, the acceptance, and enshrinement, the glorifying of all his people, for he is their head and representative. This sitting at the right hand of God, then, is to be viewed as the acceptance of the person of the Surety, the reception of the Representative, and therefore, the acceptance of our souls. O saint, see in this thy sure freedom from condemnation. "Who is he that condemneth?" Who shall condemn the men who are in Jesus at the right hand of God? The right hand is the place of power. Christ at the right hand of God hath all power in heaven and in earth. Who shall fight against the people who have such power vested in their Captain? O my soul, what can destroy thee if Omnipotence be thy helper? If the aegis of the Almighty cover thee, what sword can smite thee? Rest thou secure. If Jesus is thine all-prevailing King, and hath trodden thine enemies beneath his feet; if sin, death, and hell are all vanquished by him, and thou art represented in him, by no possibility canst thou be destroyed. "Jesus' tremendous name Puts all our foes to flight: Jesus, the meek, the angry Lamb, A Lion is in fight. "By all hell's host withstood; We all hell's host o'erthrow; And conquering them, through Jesus' blood We still to conquer go." www.glorypress.com
