经文: 那为阿们的。(启示录三:14)
阿们是庄严地肯定前面所说的。耶稣是那位伟大的肯定者。在祂所有的应许中的阿们是永远不变的。耶稣基督说:“凡劳苦担重担的人,可以到我这里来,我就使你们得安息。”(太十一:28)。你若到祂那里,祂就在你心灵中说“阿们”。祂的应许于你是真实的。耶稣应验了先知的话:“阿们”。祂的应许于你是真实的。那稣应验了先知的话:“压伤的卢苇祂不折断”(赛四十二:3)。带着你贫穷、破碎和压伤的心到祂那里去吧,祂会对你说“阿们”。于你的灵这是真实的,如同在过去的年岁中,千百情况中这也成为真实的一样。出自救主口中的每一句话,祂从不会收回。天地将要过去,耶稣的话永远坚立。在耶稣的职事中,祂是阿们的。祂过去是饶恕的祭司,并一次洁净人的罪,现在祂仍然是祭司,是阿们的。祂是统治之王,辖管祂的百姓,并以祂全能膀臂保护他们。祂是阿们的王,永不改变。祂是古代的先知,预言将来美好的事。祂的嘴唇仍然是甜密的,滴下蜂蜜──祂是阿们的先知。有关祂宝血的功效,祂是阿们的。祂的公义是阿们的。自然界的一切将衰败,那神圣的外袍却永远荣美。在祂所拥有的每一头衔中,祂是阿们的。祂是你的良人,永不与你离婚;祂是你的朋友,比兄弟更亲近;祂是你的牧者,在死荫的幽谷中祂与你同在。祂是你的帮助和拯救,是你的城堡和高台。祂是你力量之角、你的信心、你的喜乐、你一切的一切。耶稣于你是阿们的。

Scripture: “The Amen.”(Revelation 3:14)
The word AMEN solemnly confirms that which went before; and Jesus is the great Confirmer; immutable, for ever is “the Amen” in all his promises. Sinner, I would comfort thee with this reflection. Jesus Christ said, “Come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” If you come to him, he will say “Amen” in your soul; his promise shall be true to you. He said in the days of his flesh, “The bruised reed I will not break.” O thou poor, broken, bruised heart, if thou comest to him, he will say “Amen” to thee, and that shall be true inthy soul as in hundreds of cases in bygone years. Christian, is not this very comforting to thee also, that there is not a word which has gone out of the Saviour’s lips which he has ever retracted? The words of Jesus shall stand when heaven and earth shall pass away. If thou gettest a hold of but half a promise, thou shalt find it true. Beware of him who is called “Clip-promise,” who will destroy much of the comfort of God’s word.
Jesus is Yea and Amen in all his offices. He was a Priest to pardon and cleanse once, he is Amen as Priest still. He was a King to rule and reign for his people, and to defend them with his mighty arm, he is an Amen King, the same still. He was a Prophet of old, to foretell good things to come, his lips are most sweet, and drop with honey still-he is an Amen Prophet. He is Amen as to the merit of his blood; he is Amen as to his righteousness. That sacred robe shall remain most fair and glorious when nature shall decay. He is Amen in every single title which he bears; your Husband, never seeking a divorce; your Friend, sticking closer than a brother; your Shepherd, with you in death’s dark vale; your Help and your Deliverer; your Castle and your High Tower; the Horn of your strength, your confidence, your joy, your all in all, and your Yea and Amen in all.
