基本需求

Our Basic Need

……因为他专心爱我，我就要搭救他……

——诗 91:14

. . . he hath set his love upon me . . .
—Psalm 91:14

人类的基本需求之一是被人喜爱。住在主里面的人是神所喜爱的。我们不能说自己无亲朋好友，因为神说：“以后我不再称你们为仆人，因仆人不知道主人所做的事。我乃称你们为朋友”（约15:15）。我欢喜地把耶稣介绍给你们这些在生活中哀叹缺少爱的人，耶稣爱你，愿意为你舍命，不但如此，他在十字架上替你赎罪，挽回了神的愤怒，体现了神的怜悯。现在藉着耶稣基督，你可以接受神源源不断的恩典和爱。

A basic need of mankind is affection. Those who “abide in Him” are objects of God’s affection and love. You cannot say that you are friendless when Christ has said, “Henceforth I call you not servants . . . but I have called you friends” (John 15:15). To you who lament the fact that you have been bereft of affection and love in this life, I happily commend Christ. He loved you enough to lay down His life for you. Not only that, but by His atonement upon the cross, He purchased the favor of God in your behalf, and now through Him you may be the recipient of the grace and love of God without measure.
