啟示錄7:13-17



7:13 長老中有一位問我說:「這些穿白衣的是誰?是從哪裡來的?」
7:14 我對他說:「我主,你知道。」他向我說:「這些人是從大患難中出來的,曾用羔羊的血把衣裳洗白淨了。
7:15 所以,他們在上帝寶座前,晝夜在他殿中事奉他。坐寶座的要用帳幕覆庇他們。
7:16 他們不再飢,不再渴;日頭和炎熱也必不傷害他們。
7:17 因為寶座中的羔羊必牧養他們,領他們到生命水的泉源;上帝也必擦去他們一切的眼淚。」

Then one of the elders addressed me, saying, “Who are these, clothed in white robes, and from where have they come?”  I said to him, “Sir, you know.” And he said to me, “These are the ones coming out of the great tribulation. They have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
  “Therefore they are before the throne of God,
and serve him day and night in his temple;
and he who sits on the throne will shelter them with his presence.
  They shall hunger no more, neither thirst anymore;
the sun shall not strike them,
nor any scorching heat.
  For the Lamb in the midst of the throne will be their shepherd,
and he will guide them to springs of living water,
and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”

    上帝所拯救的人要享受上帝永遠的賜福:「這些人是從大患難中出來的,曾用羔羊的血把衣裳洗白淨了。」「他們在上帝寶座前,晝夜在他殿中事奉他。坐寶座的要用帳幕覆庇他們。他們不再飢,不再渴;日頭和炎熱也必不傷害他們。因為寶座中的羔羊必牧養他們,領他們到生命水的泉源;上帝也必擦去他們一切的眼淚。」

    許多的人看到這段記載被上帝的愛感動,因為上帝是這樣看顧祂所愛的人,進而立志要信靠上帝,成為上帝的兒女,即使在世上遇到大逼迫、大苦難,也不害怕,因為知道這些苦難是暫時的,上帝的賜恩是永恆的,而且僅在基督裡!

    今天你是否如此信靠上帝呢?還是以為天底下沒有這麼好的事呢?要以行為換取上帝的恩典,而不靠耶穌基督的拯救!快悔改吧!上帝不要你靠自己,要你靠基督!你要信靠耶穌基督!
