世上没有一个人能明白、没有一个人能测透,就是耶稣基督那无条件的大爱!你是那蒙爱的,这是永不改变的事实!都因着基督在十架为你成全了的、那全备的救赎之功,基督如此爱你,如此爱他的新妇,以至那天地的主宰、那承受宇宙万有的主宰,成了一个奴仆。都因着他爱他的新妇,都因着他爱你,你这一个灵魂!
保罗·华许 – 基督的无条件的爱
华许.保罗,读一个清教徒(约翰.腓弗)写的“天父的谈判”中的一段话。
他看着你。
然后他说:“父啊,我如此爱这个人、如此怜悯这些人……
即便他们触犯了所有的律法,他仍然说:“这是我的慈爱,我的怜悯!”
高傲的人回嘴说:“我不需要你怜悯。”
你需要他的怜悯。你需要他的同情。我们是何等的可怜!
他说:“我如此爱惜他们,如此怜悯他们,所以,与其让他们永远的灭亡。
我宁可为他们负责、为他们还债、为他们担保。”
“父啊,请您把他们所欠的一切债务都拿来给我看看,好叫我知道他们缺欠您多少。
现在……
有时,一个年轻人结了婚,之后,他才开始发觉……
责任重大,难以承担。他说:“我从不知道原来婚姻这么艰巨。”
我不肯定:我是否应该结婚。
你看到吗?他从前海誓山盟,夸下海口他要如何……
爱这个女孩,他真不知天高地厚,他真不知爱的委身。
然而,基督并非如此。
这里,他对父神说:“父啊,请把他们缺欠您的一切债务都拿来,让我看看。”
想一想,他看见你亏欠公义的一切罪债。
他不是盲目的走上十字架。他没有上了十架之后又反悔说:“不!父啊,我不要了!
我不干了!我从没想到原来代价如此之高!”不!
他在永世中就早已知道这爱的代价!
然而,他仍然勇往直前。
但:请听他的话:
“请把他们所有的欠单都拿来,好叫我看看他们到底亏欠您多少。”
“主啊!全部拿来!”现在,信徒们,请注意!
如果这不叫你欢喜若狂,
这不叫你欢呼雀跃的话,那你就不了解我说的是什么了。
“他说把所有的欠单都拿来,全部拿来,所以,不会再秋后算账了!”
不再追讨他们了!你明白他在说什么吗?
把他们每一个欠条,从出生一直到死亡,
把他们所有对您的亏欠,全部拿出来、统统摆上来。
我要全部看清,然后,在那十架上,我要全数还清,所以,
您永远不需要再次追讨他们的罪债。信徒们!你看到了吗?
他不会再追讨你了!已经成了!你所有的罪债都还清了!
你从前的过犯、现在的过犯、将来会犯的过犯。
一切所有的,都一次还清了!有人会说:
“哇!如果你这么讲,那么他们就会随便
犯罪!不!他们不会,真信徒绝不会!
只有属肉体的、邪恶的、失落的教友,会听见
就继续犯罪。但信徒会说:“既然他如此爱我,既然他释放了我,
他使我完全自由了!我是属他的!我不要再犯罪了!”
“我不愿再得罪他了!”看到吗?弟兄姊妹,这样我们才能成圣。
因此,福音也称之为“敬虔的奥秘”(提前3:16)。
你看到吗?这就在信徒里面产生了敬虔,
是的,有许多条条框框,有许多清规戒律,
但这些都不能使我们敬虔,使我们成圣。
使我们敬虔、使我们成圣的,是知道耶稣……
他死了!他为我死!他的死偿清了我一切的罪债,
过去、现在、将来,所有的罪。
父神将永不、永不追讨我,
他不会再次把我叫到法庭受审!不!永不定罪了!
我自由了!我释放了!哦!感谢主!我无债一身轻了!
但你说:“保罗弟兄,经上说:
信徒也要受审判啊!(林后5:10)”
是的,但请听!
在那审判台前,当你抬头仰望那
审判官的脸……,那是你的父亲!那是你的弟兄!
那审判你的,也是那位替你死的。
他替你死!你没看见吗?
你已自由了!你已释放了!
不再定罪!
总要来到他面前!
总要回到他脚前!
总要飞奔他怀抱!
你自由了! 终于,你入门了!你进入那恩门……
世上没有一个人能明白、没有一个人能测透,就是那无条件的大爱!
你是那蒙爱的、亲爱的,这是永不改变的事实!
都因着基督在十架为你成全了的、那全备的救赎之功,
基督如此爱你,如此爱他的新妇,
以至那天地的主宰、那承受宇宙万有的主人翁,成了一个奴仆。
都因着他爱他的新妇,
都因着他爱你,你这一个灵魂!
Paul Washer – The Unconditional Love of Christ
Paul Washer reading an excerpt by Puritan
john Flavel from “The Father’s Bargain.”
He looks at you.
And he says this “Father, such is my love
to this one person and my pity for them.”
After they’ve broken every command He still
says “Such is my love, and such is my pity.”
Proud men say “I don’t want your pity.” You
need His pity. You need His pity. We are pitiful.
He says “Such is my love to and pity for them
that rather then they shall perish eternally
I will be responsible for them as their guarantee.”
“Bring in all thy bills Father that I may
see what they owe thee.”
Now.
Sometimes a young man will get married.
And after he gets married, he’ll start getting
a little shaky on his commitment. He said
“I had no idea that marriage was this tough.”
“I don’t know if this is really,
what I’m made to do.”
You see, he was boasting about how much he
would love this girl.
He had no idea the commitment he was going
to have to make, but that is not true with
Christ.
Here he says to the Father “Father, bring
in everything they owe thee, let me see it.”
Imagine this: He sees everything that you
owe justice.
He doesn’t go to that Cross blindly, He doesn’t
get on the Cross and say “No Father, I don’t
want to do this, I didn’t know it would cost
so much.” He knew from eternity how much it
would cost Him and yet He still did it.
But listen to this.
“Bring in all thy bills that I may see what
they owe thee.”
“Lord bring them all in” now listen, believers.
If this doesn’t make you so happy you weep or
cry out for joy your not understanding what
I’m saying.
“He says bring in all the bills. Bring them
all in that there may be no after reckonings
with them.”
Do you see what He’s saying?
Bring in everyone of their bills from the
time they were born till the time they die,
everything they owe thee Father, bring them
all in.
I want to see them all, and on that tree I
want to pay for them all there so that you
never have to deal with them again with regard
to their sin. Do you see that believer? He
never has to deal with you again!
It’s over! All your crimes are paid for! Your
crimes in the past. Your crimes in the present.
Your crimes your going to commit in the future.
All of them paid for. And some people say
“Well if you tell that to people they’ll just
sin!.” No they won’t, not true believers.
Carnal wicked lost church members will hear
that and go on sinning. But believers will
say “If His love is like that, if he has set
me free completely, I’m His!”
“I don’t want to sin anymore!”
“I don’t want to sin anymore!”
You see brothers, that’s what leads to holiness,
that’s why the Gospel is called “The Mystery
of Godliness(1 Timothy 3:16)”
You see that?
It’s the thing that produces godliness in
the believer.
Yes there are commands, and there are rules,
but that’s not what makes us godly.
What makes us godly is knowing that Jesus
died and that He died for me!
And when He died He paid for every sin,
past, present and future.
And God will never again, never call me into
His judgment hall to judge me.
Never again!
I’m free, I’m free, oh thank God I’m free!
And you say “But brother Paul, it says that
there’s going to be a judgment for a believer.”(2
Cor 5:10)
Ya, but listen to this.
In that Judgment, when you look up into the
judges face… it will be your Father.
It will be your brother.
[crying]
The one who judges you is the one who died
for you. Don’t you see that?
You’re free. You’re free!
No guilt!
Always come to Him!
Always go back to Him!
Always run to Him!
You’re free!
You finally walked through a door that no
one in this world knows anything about, it’s
unconditional love.
You’re just loved, and it can’t be changed
now!
Because of that perfect work of Christ on
that tree, on your behalf.
[Another Scene]
Christ so loved you, so loved His bride.
That He who was ruler of all things, the heir of
the universe and beyond; He became a servant.
Because of His love for His bride.
Because of His love for you as individuals.
