經文: 「他們在王在前面行，耶和華引導他們。」（彌迦書二：13）

耶穌道成肉身，降世為人，有如開路先鋒，嚐遍人間辛酸，歷盡人生滄桑，所以祂能體恤我們的軟弱，也能做我們過得勝生活的榜樣。若祂沒有走這一遭，我們的情況就迥然不同。         弟兄姐妹們，莫灰心喪膽，定晴注視耶穌走這天涯路。看哪，耶穌已經一路率先打敗仇敵，克服障礙，我們還怕什麼呢？怕罪惡嗎？耶穌已經將它釘在十架上；怕死亡嗎？耶穌已經得勝死亡；怕地獄嗎？耶穌已經在天堂與地獄間，劃一道鴻溝，信主的人掉不下去，無論擺在信徒面前的，是怎樣的危險與困難，耶穌都已經剷平，靠著救主，我們得勝有餘。         仇敵有如吼叫的獅子，遍地遊行，尋找可吞吃的人，但它們的利爪已被除掉；撒旦有如陰險的虺蛇，隨時伺機攻擊信徒，但它們的毒牙已被拔掉。那原要傷害我們的銳劍，已經生銹變鈍，那原要炸毀我門的導彈，已經失靈轉向。上帝是我們堅固城，有祂全能的保護，我們還害怕什麼？         讓我們快樂地奔跑天路吧！奮勇地打這場聖戰吧！因為萬軍之耶和華是我們的元帥，仇敵已經被打敗，被踩在腳下。我們何需膽怯懦弱？只管剛強壯膽，繼續走前面的路。

Scripture: “The breaker is come up before them.”(Micah 2:13)

Inasmuch as Jesus has gone before us, things remain not as they would have been had he never passed that way. He has conquered every foe that obstructed the way. Cheer up now thou faint-hearted warrior. Not only has Christ travelled the road, but he has slain thine enemies. Dost thou dread sin? He has nailed it to his cross. Dost thou fear death? He has been the death of Death. Art thou afraid of hell? He has barred it against the advent of any of his children; they shall never see the gulf of perdition. Whatever foes may be before the Christian, they are all overcome. There are lions, but their teeth are broken; there are serpents, but their fangs are extracted; there are rivers, but they are bridged or fordable; there are flames, but we wear that matchless garment which renders us invulnerable to fire. The sword that has been forged against us is already blunted; the instruments of war which the enemy is preparing have already lost their point. God has taken away in the person of Christ all the power that anything can have to hurt us. Well then, the army may safely march on, and you may go joyously along your journey, for all your enemies are conquered beforehand. What shall you do but march on to take the prey? They are beaten, they are vanquished; all you have to do is to divide the spoil. You shall, it is true, often engage in combat; but your fight shall be with a vanquished foe. His head is broken; he may attempt to injure you, but his strength shall not be sufficient for his malicious design. Your victory shall be easy, and your treasure shall be beyond all count.          “Proclaim aloud the Saviour's fame,         Who bears the Breaker's wond'rous name;         Sweet name; and it becomes him well,         Who breaks down earth, sin, death, and hell.”
