服事上帝,祂的面与名
经文: 「祂的仆人都要事奉祂,也要见祂的面。祂的名字必写在他们的额上。」(启示
录廿二︰3,4)
到那日在荣耀之地,这三种福份都将属于我们。
「祂的仆人都要事奉祂。」再也没有其他君王会来压迫我们,没有其他俗事来
烦扰我们。我们可以毫不困倦,毫无差错地事奉上帝︰这就是信徒所向往的天堂乐境,
能在永生的来世里,单单地属于上帝,并事奉祂,这是信徒最大的盼望。
「也要见祂的面。」这使得我们服事起来更加有劲,也是我们服事最直接的报
偿。我们都将要认识上帝,因我们要见祂的面。任何忠心的仆人都忠心的企盼,能见到
上帝的面。摩西不是说︰「求祢让我看到祢的面。」
「祂的名字必写在他们的额上。」因着信徒不断地仰望主,上帝的名就返照在
他们的额上。他们认识上帝,上帝也认识他们。这个秘密记号,有如由内外显的荣光,
是掩藏不住的,必要在众人中间显露出来。
喔,主啊,赏赐给我这三种福份吧,同时,也让我丰丰足足地拥有这样的福份。
His Service, Face, Name
Scripture: "His servants shall serve Him: and they shall see His face; and
His name shall be in their forehead" (Revelation 22:3-4).
Three choice blessings will be ours in the gloryland.
"His servants shall serve him." No other lords shall oppress us, no
other service shall distress us. We shall serve Jesus always, perfectly,
without weariness, and without error. This is heaven to a saint: in all
things to serve the LORD Christ and to be owned by Him as His servant is our
soul's high ambition for eternity.
"And they shall see his face." This makes the service delightful:
indeed, it is the present reward of service. We shall know our LORD, for we
shall see Him as He is. To see the face of Jesus is the utmost favor that
the most faithful servant of the LORD can ask. What more could Moses ask
than- "Let me see thy face?"
"And his name shall be in their foreheads." They gaze upon their
LORD till His name is photographed upon their brows. They are acknowledged
by Him, and they acknowledge Him. The secret mark of inward grace develops
into the public sign-manual of confessed relationship.
O LORD, give us these three things in their beginnings here that we
may possess them in their fullness in Thine own abode of bliss! |
