经文: 但亚伦的杖吞了他的杖。（出埃及记七：12）
这事件表示上帝的工作必定胜过所有的反对。每当属上帝的原则进入人心中时，魔鬼就会伪装并制造出一大群反对者。但是上帝的工作将吞下所有敌人。上帝的恩典若占有一个人，世上所有的魔术师会丢下他们的魔仗。即使每棍杖皆如蛇般狡猾恶毒，亚伦的仗也会吞下他们。十字架甘甜之吸引力会赢得人心。只为这个曚骗人的世界而活的人，现在可以稍稍了解更高的领堿，并驾翼飞升入属天的高峰了！我们的信心会面对许多仇敌。魔要将我们老旧的罪掷在我们的脚前，它们会变成蛇；但是耶稣的十字架能将他们全部毁灭。接着，魔鬼以属世的试验、试探、和不信发动另外一群蛇；但是在耶稣里的信心使它无法匹对，胜过了它们全部。在对上帝的忠心事奉中，也闪耀着同样的原则。对耶稣的热爱，克服了困难，牺牲变为喜乐，苦难变为荣耀。但是有许多人有宗教的外表而无信仰的实质。他们的宗教不会助他们通过这些试验。以这一点来检查你自己。亚伦的杖证明了它有上帝所赐的能力。你的生命是否如此？基督若与你有关连，祂必定是你的全部。哦，你不能安息，直至对耶稣的爱和信成为操纵你心灵的热情。

Scripture: “But Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods.”(Exodus 7:12)
This incident is an instructive emblem of the sure victory of the divine handiwork over all opposition. Whenever a divine principle is cast into the heart, though the devil may fashion a counterfeit, and produce swarms of opponents, as sure as ever God is in the work, it will swallow up all its foes. If God’s grace takes possession of a man, the world’s magicians may throw down all their rods; and every rod may be as cunning and poisonous as a serpent, but Aaron’s rod will swallow up their rods. The sweet attractions of the cross will woo and win the man’s heart, and he who lived only for this deceitful earth will now have an eye for the upper spheres, and a wing to mount into celestial heights. When grace has won the day the worldling seeks the world to come. The same fact is to be observed in the life of the believer. What multitudes of foes has our faith had to meet! Our old sins－the devil threw them down before us, and they turned to serpents. What hosts of them! Ah, but the cross of Jesus destroys them all. Faith in Christ makes short work of all our sins. Then the devil has launched forth another host of serpents in the form of worldly trials, temptations, unbelief; but faith in Jesus is more than a match for them, and overcomes them all. The same absorbing principle shines in the faithful service of God! With an enthusiastic love for Jesus difficulties are surmounted, sacrifices become pleasures, sufferings are honours. But if religion is thus a consuming passion in the heart, then it follows that there are many persons who profess religion but have it not; for what they have will not bear this test. Examine yourself, my reader, on this point. Aaron’s rod proved its heaven-given power. Is your religion doing so? If Christ be anything he must be everything. O rest not till love and faith in Jesus be the master passions of your soul!
