经文: 过犯得以赦免，乃是照祂丰富的恩典。（以弗所书一：7）
当罪人听到赦免二字时，在他耳中还会有比这更甜美的字眼吗？当饶恕的爱光照入已被定罪之人的牢房内，将灭亡的人在绝望的午夜中见到一线希望，这爱光就是永远的祝福。我的罪永远被赦免了，这是可能的吗？罪人的目的地是地狱，如果罪仍留在我身上，我将不可能逃脱。罪担能被挪去，朱红污渍能被除去吗？耶稣告诉我因为祂，我能称义。赎罪大爱之启示不仅告诉我赦免是可能的，并且对一切安息在耶稣之内的人是有保障的。我相信耶稣宝血的救赎，因为祂代罪之痛苦及受死，我的罪到得永远的赦免。我心向祂献上一切赞美，因为祂的大爱，成为我的替身、完成了我的救赎。白白的赦免展现了何等丰富的恩典啊！恩典赦免一切、完全赦免、白白的赦免、永远的赦免！当我回想过去的罪是多么深重，将我从罪中洗净的宝贵血滴是何等珍贵，而这恩典的行动印证了我得饶恕，我心就充满惊讶、崇敬与爱情。我俯伏在赦免我的宝座前，我紧握那解救我的十字架。藉着这位道成肉身的上帝，现在我要服事祂。

Scripture: “The forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace.”(Ephesians 1:7)
Could there be a sweeter word in any language than that word “forgiveness,” when it sounds in a guilty sinner’s ear, like the silver notes of jubilee to the captive Israelite? Blessed, for ever blessed be that dear star of pardon which shines into the condemned cell, and gives the perishing a gleam of hope amid the midnight of despair! Can it be possible that sin, such sin as mine, can be forgiven, forgiven altogether, and for ever? Hell is my portion as a sinner－there is no possibility of my escaping from it while sin remains upon me－can the load of guilt be uplifted, the crimson stain removed? Can the adamantine stones of my prison-house ever be loosed from their mortices, or the doors be lifted from their hinges? Jesus tells me that I may yet be clear. For ever blessed be the revelation of atoning love which not only tells me that pardon is possible, but that it is secured to all who rest in Jesus. I have believed in the appointed propitiation, even Jesus crucified, and therefore my sins are at this moment, and for ever, forgiven by virtue of his substitutionary pains and death. What joy is this! What bliss to be a perfectly pardoned soul! My soul dedicates all her powers to him who of his own unpurchased love became my surety, and wrought out for me redemption through his blood. What riches of grace does free forgiveness exhibit! To forgive at all, to forgive fully, to forgive freely, to forgive for ever! Here is a constellation of wonders; and when I think of how great my sins were, how dear were the precious drops which cleansed me from them, and how gracious was the method by which pardon was sealed home to me, I am in a maze of wondering worshipping affection. I bow before the throne which absolves me, I clasp the cross which delivers me, I serve henceforth all my days the Incarnate God, through whom I am this night a pardoned soul.
