完全的洁净
经文: 「我必用清水洒在你们身上，你们就洁净了。我要洁净你们，使你们脱离一切的
污秽，弃掉一切的偶像。」（以西结书卅六︰25）
这是多么令人欢欣雀跃的金句，那位用宝血洁净我们的，也要用圣灵来洁净我
们。上帝说︰「你要被洁净。」祂既这么说，也必这么做。主啊，我们常觉自己污秽不
堪，甚至嫌恶自己，幸好有你的恩言保证，你要洁净我们；求主加速你的圣工在我身上。
祂可以炼净我们的灵魂，让我们脱去卑情下品，除掉不信的恶习，将心中的骄
傲自私、邪情私欲挪开，用上帝纯洁善良的爱来取代，不再让撒但有机会借着我们羞辱
主的圣名。
祂也要除掉一切的偶像，无论是有形的木雕石刻像，或是无形的心中所爱慕的
东西，即使它本身没什么不好不对，但与上帝相较，这仍是次好的。所以，不是它要被
除掉，就是我们要远离它。
上帝亲口说祂要洁净我们，我们大可放心地站在祂的信实话语上，期待祂所承
诺的保证实现。得到洁净是新约的祝福，而且这是全人的洁净。
Thorough Cleansing
Scripture: "Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean
Ezekiel 36:25).
What an exceeding joy is this! He who has purified us with the blood
of Jesus will also cleanse us by the water of the Holy Spirit. God hath
said it, and so it must be, "Ye shall be clean." LORD, we feel and mourn our
uncleanness, and it is cheering to be assured by Thine own mouth that we
shall be clean. Oh, that Thou wouldst make a speedy work of it!
He will deliver us from our worst sins. The uprisings of unbelief
and the deceitful lusts which war against the soul, the vile thoughts of
pride, and the suggestions of Satan to blaspheme the sacred name- all these
shall be so purged away as never to return.
He will also cleanse us from all our idols, whether of gold or of
clay: our impure loves and our excessive love of that which in itself is
pure. That which we have idolized shall either be broken from us or we shall
be broken off from it.
It is God who speaks of what He Himself will do. Therefore is this
word established and sure, and we may boldly look for that which it
guarantees to us. Cleansing is a covenant blessing, and the covenant is
ordered in all things and sure. |
