经文: 基督那测不透的丰富。(以弗所书三:8)

我的主之丰富是超越数学能计算、理性能测量、幻想能梦想、或言语所能述说的。它们是测不透的!你能看、能研究、也能衡量,耶稣却是一位伟大的救主,超过你所能领悟的。祂愿意赦罪,超过你的罪恶;祂能够饶恕,超过你的过犯。我们的主更愿意供应你的需要,而且是超过你所承的缺乏。我们的主现在就能赐予你丰富的喜乐。祂能使你躺卧在青草地上,领你到可安歇的水边(参阅诗二十三:2)。你可以安心地卧在祂的脚旁。没有一种爱像祂的爱、天上、地上的爱皆不能匹对。认识基督并在祂的里面就是生命和喜乐。这位主慷慨对待祂的仆人;祂赐他们两个天堂──一个在地,我们在其中服事祂;另一个在天,在那里有永远的喜乐。祂那测不透的丰富只有在永恒中才能为人知悉。你在世上的年日,祂将赐你一切所需。你的保障是磐石所建的坚垒,你的口粮必不缺乏,你的水源必不断绝(参阅赛三十三:16)。有一日你将面对面目看见荣耀、亲爱的君王。基督测不透之丰富是地上音乐之曲调。是天上竖琴家之美歌。主啊,求祢教我们更多认识耶稣,我们也要把此好消息传给别人。

Scripture: “The unsearchable riches of Christ.”(Ephesians 3:8)

My Master has riches beyond the count of arithmetic, the measurement of reason, the dream of imagination, or the eloquence of words. They are unsearchable! You may look, and study, and weigh, but Jesus is a greater Saviour than you think him to be when your thoughts are at the greatest. My Lord is more ready to pardon than you to sin, more able to forgive than you to transgress. My Master is more willing to supply your wants than you are to confess them. Never tolerate low thoughts of my Lord Jesus. When you put the crown on his head, you will only crown him with silver when he deserves gold. My Master has riches of happiness to bestow upon you now. He can make you to lie down in green pastures, and lead you beside still waters. There is no music like the music of his pipe, when he is the Shepherd and you are the sheep, and you lie down at his feet. There is no love like his, neither earth nor heaven can match it. To know Christ and to be found in him-oh! this is life, this is joy, this is marrow and fatness, wine on the lees well refined. My Master does not treat his servants churlishly; he gives to them as a king giveth to a king; he gives them two heavens-a heaven below in serving him here, and a heaven above in delighting in him for ever. His unsearchable riches will be best known in eternity. He will give you on the way to heaven all you need; your place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks, your bread shall be given you, and your waters shall be sure; but it is there, THERE , where you shall hear the song of them that triumph, the shout of them that feast, and shall have a face-to-face view of the glorious and beloved One. The unsearchable riches of Christ! This is the tune for the minstrels of earth, and the song for the harpers of heaven. Lord, teach us more and more of Jesus, and we will tell out the good news to others.
