| 對主耶穌的愛 | |
| 經文: 「你們雖然沒有見過祂，卻是愛祂，如今雖不得看見，卻因信祂就有說不出來，滿有榮光的大喜樂。」（彼得前書一：8） | |
| 這是對基督徒生活的描述，他們雖未見過基督，卻是愛祂，並且相信祂，心中也充滿了不可言喻的喜樂，這是愛耶穌的基督徒的生活寫照。 我們看到聖父聖子的主要特色，就是彼此的愛，與對人的愛，這也是基督徒生活的主要特色；上帝的愛流進我們的心中，就成為活水的泉源，可以回應主耶穌的愛。 這樣的愛不僅是一種蒙福的感覺，也是一種主動的行事原則，使上帝的兒女願意遵行祂的旨意，而且以遵行祂的旨意為樂。耶穌為世人被釘十字架，祂的愛就在此向我們顯明。我們的愛必需在生活中，實踐無私犧牲的精神，來表明我們的愛。是的，基督徒生活的準則就是盡心、盡性、盡意愛主你的上帝。 藉著信心，可以得著這樣的大愛，相信上帝是這樣的愛我，祂的大能也要運行在我們心中，讓我們飽嚐祂的恩典。 信心和愛的翅膀可以將我們載到天堂，嚐到那說不出來的喜樂滿溢的慈愛。喜樂的基督徒是耶穌基督能力最好的明證，可以改變世人的心，讓他們也一樣充滿屬天的愛。 親愛的弟兄姐妹們，耶穌是我們的良人，我們怎能拒絕祂生命的邀約？我們怎能不常常來到祂面前飲那生命的活泉？藉著每天與祂親近相交，我們的喜樂得以滿足，信心也要增長，我們的生活也充滿了愛、喜樂、信心等各樣的恩典。 | |

| OUR LOVE TO CHRIST | |
| Scripture: "Jesus Christ, Whom not having seen, ye love: in Whom, though now ye see Him not, yet believing, ye rejoice greatly with joy unspeakable and full of glory."—I PET. i. 8. R. V. | |
| What a wonderful description of the Christian life! People who had never seen Christ, and yet truly loved Him and believed on Him, so that their hearts were filled with unspeakable joy. Such is the life of a Christian who really loves his Lord. We have seen that the chief attribute of the Father and of the Son, is love to each other and love to man. This should be the chief characteristics of the true Christian. The love of God and of Christ is shed abroad in his heart, and becomes a well of living water, flowing forth as love to the Lord Jesus. This love is not merely a blessed feeling. It is an active principle. It takes pleasure in doing the will of the beloved Lord. It is joy to keep His commandments. The love of Christ to us was shown by His death on the cross, our love must be exhibited in unselfish, self-sacrificing lives. Oh that we under¬stood this: Jn the Christian life love to Christ is everything! Great love will beget great faith. Faith in His love to us, faith in the powerful revelations of His love in our hearts, faith that He through His love will work all His good pleasure in us. The wings of faith and love will lift us up to heaven, and we shall be filled with joy unspeakable. The joy of the Christian is an indispensable witness to the world of the power of Christ to change hearts, and fill them with heavenly love and gladness. O ye lovers of the Lord Jesus, take time daily in the inner chamber with Him anew to drink in His heavenly love. It will make you strong in faith, and your joy will be full. Love, joy. faith, these will be our life each day through the grace of our Lord Jesus. | |
