经文: 我必悦纳你们好像馨香之祭。（以西结书二十：41）
我们伟大救赎者的功绩是献给至高者的馨香之祭。基督主动的和被动的公义具有相等的香气。在祂积极主动的生命中有一股馨香之气。祂尊崇上帝的律法使每一教训闪耀发光，犹如一珍贵宝石镶嵌在祂自己身上。在祂的绝对服从中，祂以毫无抱怨的顺从来忍受饥渴、寒冷和赤身露体。在客西马尼园里祂汗珠如大血点滴下，任由人鞭打祂的背，转脸任由人拔祂腮颊的胡须（参阅赛五十：6）。最后，祂被钉于十字架，为我们的缘故忍受上帝的烈怒。因着祂的代罪受苦并顺服，主我们的上帝接纳了我们。馨香之祭代替了我们有罪的祭！祂的宝血有何等大的能力，可以洗净我们所有的罪！祂荣耀的公义使我们这些不堪的人得蒙至爱者的按纳！我们蒙上帝的接纳是如此肯定、永不改变，因为那是在祂里面的。不要怀疑自己还未在耶稣里蒙接纳。没有基督你无法被接纳，一旦你接受了祂的恩典，你就不会不被接纳。放下你的所有的疑虑、恐惧和罪恶，耶和华的恩眼永不再怒视你。当祂透过基督来注视你时，祂不再见到罪恶。你将在基督里永远被接纳、永远蒙福、永远是父上帝心中所亲爱的。扬声高歌，当你看到救主功绩的馨香之烟袅袅上升至蓝宝石的宝座前时，让你赞美的香气也随同上升吧！

Scripture: “I will accept you with your sweet savour.”(Ezekiel 20:41)
The merits of our great Redeemer are as sweet savour to the Most High. Whether we speak of the active or passive righteousness of Christ, there is an equal fragrance. There was a sweet savour in his active life by which he honoured the law of God, and made every precept to glitter like a precious jewel in the pure setting of his own person. Such, too, was his passive obedience, when he endured with unmurmuring submission, hunger and thirst, cold and nakedness, and at length sweat great drops of blood in Gethsemane, gave his back to the smiters, and his cheeks to them that plucked out the hair, and was fastened to the cruel wood, that he might suffer the wrath of God in our behalf. These two things are sweet before the Most High; and for the sake of his doing and his dying, his substitutionary sufferings and his vicarious obedience, the Lord our God accepts us. What a preciousness must there be in him to overcome our want of preciousness! What a sweet savour to put away our ill savour! What a cleansing power in his blood to take away sin such as ours! and what glory in his righteousness to make such unacceptable creatures to be accepted in the Beloved! Mark, believer, how sure and unchanging must be our acceptance, since it is in him! Take care that you never doubt your acceptance in Jesus. You cannot be accepted without Christ; but, when you have received his merit, you cannot be unaccepted. Notwithstanding all your doubts, and fears, and sins, Jehovah’s gracious eye never looks upon you in anger; though he sees sin in you, in yourself, yet when he looks at you through Christ, he sees no sin. You are always accepted in Christ, are always blessed and dear to the Father’s heart. Therefore lift up a song, and as you see the smoking incense of the merit of the Saviour coming up, this evening, before the sapphire throne, let the incense of your praise go up also.
