Meditate a little on the mercy of God!
默想一下上帝的怜悯！
查尔斯·司布真
It is tender mercy. With gentle, loving touch, He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds. He is as gracious in the manner of His mercy-as in the matter of it.
这是温柔的怜悯。祂以温柔慈爱的抚摸，医治心灵破碎的人，包扎他们的创伤。祂施予怜悯的方式与怜悯本身同样充满恩典。
It is great mercy. There is nothing little in God; His mercy is like Himself-it is infinite. You cannot measure it. His mercy is so great, that it forgives great sins of great sinners, after great lengths of time, and then gives great favors and great privileges, and then raises us up to great enjoyments in the great Heaven of the great God!
这是伟大的怜悯。在上帝里没有渺小的事物；祂的怜悯如同祂自己一样是无限的。你无法测量它。祂的怜悯如此浩大，以至于能饶恕大罪人的重大罪过，即使经过漫长的时间，还赐予重大恩惠和特权，然后将我们提升到伟大上帝的伟大天堂中享受无上的喜乐！
It is undeserved mercy, as indeed all true mercy must be, for deserved mercy is only a misnomer for justice. There was no right on the sinner’s part, to the sovereign mercy of the Most High God. Had the rebel been doomed at once to eternal fire-he would have justly merited the doom. If the evildoer is delivered from wrath-then sovereign mercy alone has found a cause.
这是不配得的怜悯，事实上所有真实的怜悯都必须如此，因为应得的怜悯只是对公义的错误称呼。罪人无权得到至高上帝的主权怜悯。若叛逆者立即被判永恒的火湖，这判决本是公正的。若作恶者得以脱离愤怒，那唯有主权怜悯找到了理由。
It is rich mercy. Some things are great, but have little efficacy in them-but God’s mercy is a cordial to your drooping spirits. Saving mercy is a golden ointment for your bleeding wounds, a heavenly bandage for your broken bones, a royal chariot for your weary feet, a bosom of love for your trembling heart!
这是丰富的怜悯。有些事物虽大，却缺乏功效，但上帝的怜悯是你精神低落时的良药。拯救的怜悯是你流血伤口的金色药膏，是你断骨的天堂绷带，是你疲惫双脚的御驾，是你战栗心灵的爱的怀抱！
It is manifold mercy. There is no single mercy. You may think you have but one mercy-but you shall find it to be a whole cluster of mercies!
这是多方面的怜悯。没有单一的怜悯。你可能认为你只有一个怜悯，但你会发现它是众多怜悯的集合！
It is abounding mercy. Millions have received it, yet far from its being exhausted-it is as fresh, as full, and as free as ever!
这是充沛的怜悯。数百万人已经接受了它，但它远未耗尽——它依然如初般新鲜、丰盈和自由！
It is unfailing mercy. It will never leave you. If saved by sovereign mercy, it will be . . .
with you in temptation-to keep you from yielding,
with you in trouble-to prevent you from sinking,
with you living-to be the light and life of your countenance, and
with you dying-to be the joy of your soul when earthly comfort is ebbing fast!
这是永不止息的怜悯。它永远不会离开你。如果你被至高的怜悯所拯救，它将会…
在你受诱惑时与你同在——使你不致屈服，
在你遇困境时与你同在——防止你沉沦，
在你生存时与你同在——成为你面容的光和生命，
在你临终时与你同在——当尘世的安慰迅速消逝时，成为你灵魂的喜悦！
