巍朴

经文:“长老中有一位问我说,这些穿白衣的是谁?是从哪里来的?我对他说,我主,你知道。他向我说,这些人是从大患难中出来的,曾用羔羊的血,把衣裳洗白净了。所以他们在神宝座前,昼夜在他殿中事奉他。坐宝座的要用帐幕覆庇他们。他们不再饥,不再渴。日头和炎热,也必不伤害他们。因为宝座中的羔羊必牧养他们,领他们到生命水的泉源。神也必擦去他们一切的眼泪。”(《启》7:13-17)

前言:多年前笔者曾收到一首英文诗“Holy Alphabet圣字母表”。后来把它略加修改,配上中文,共用26个不同的字来押韵。除在讲道信息或个人平台分享外,这首中英文小诗从未在正式刊物公开发表过。今有感动与《举目》的众位读者分享。纵:世事艰难,常经忧患,但:背负十架,持定永生!愿以此互勉。

主说:“都成了。我是阿拉法,我是俄梅戛,我是初,我是终。我要将生命泉的水白白赐给那口渴的人喝。”(《启》21:6)
