经文: 祢从亘古就有。（诗篇九十三：2）
基督是永恒的。我们能与大卫的诗歌发生共鸣：“上帝啊，祢的宝座是永永远远。”（诗四十五：6）让我们欢欣快乐，因为耶稣基督，昨日、今日、一直到永远，都是一样的。（来十三：8）那稣过去如此，生在伯利恒的婴儿就是那道，从太初就已经存在，并且万物是藉着祂造的。基督亲自向在拔摩岛的约翰启示时说，祂是“……昔在今在以后永在的全能者。”（启一：8）祂若不是从亘古就有的上帝，我们就无法感受在永远的爱中也有祂的份，那爱是所有誓约祝福之源头。因为祂从亘古就与父上帝同在，我们能找到从祂与父上帝和赐福之圣灵源源流出的圣洁之爱。主从过去就是，祂永远也都是。耶稣不是死的。“祂是长远活着，替他们代求。”（来七：25）当你有需要时，转向祂，祂等待着要赐福予你。而且，耶稣我们的主是永远不变的。上帝若赐你长寿，你会发现这位大祭司是永远活着的。要以祂自己的宝血充满医治的源头，洗净你一切污秽。当你作生命的最后争战时，你会发现永胜将军大能的手并没有变弱──永活的救主可以使垂危的圣徒喜乐。当你进入天堂时，祂将分担留在世上年轻人的眼泪。主耶稣是祂百姓喜乐、生命和荣耀永不枯竭之源头，因为祂是永恒的。从这神圣之井汲取活水吧！耶稣过去、现在、以后、永远都是不变的。祂全部的属性并全部的能力都结合在祂的心意中──祂乐于赐福、安慰、保护，并赐冠冕给祂所拣选的百姓。

Scripture: “Thou art from everlasting.”(Psalm 93:2)
Christ is EVERLASTING . Of him we may sing with David, “Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever.” Rejoice, believer, in Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, to-day, and for ever. Jesus always was. The Babe born in Bethlehem was united to the Word, which was in the beginning, by whom all things were made. The title by which Christ revealed himself to John in Patmos was, “Him which is, and which was, and which is to come.” If he were not God from everlasting, we could not so devoutly love him; we could not feel that he had any share in the eternal love which is the fountain of all covenant blessings; but since he was from all eternity with the Father, we trace the stream of divine love to himself equally with his Father and the blessed Spirit. As our Lord always was, so also he is for evermore. Jesus is not dead; “He ever liveth to make intercession for us.” Resort to him in all your times of need, for he is waiting to bless you still. Moreover, Jesus our Lord ever shall be. If God should spare your life to fulfil your full day of threescore years and ten, you will find that his cleansing fountain is still opened, and his precious blood has not lost its power; you shall find that the Priest who filled the healing fount with his own blood, lives to purge you from all iniquity. When only your last battle remains to be fought, you shall find that the hand of your conquering Captain has not grown feeble－the living Saviour shall cheer the dying saint. When you enter heaven you shall find him there bearing the dew of his youth; and through eternity the Lord Jesus shall still remain the perennial spring of joy, and life, and glory to his people. Living waters may you draw from this sacred well! Jesus always was, he always is, he always shall be. He is eternal in all his attributes, in all his offices, in all his might, and willingness to bless, comfort, guard, and crown his chosen people.
