Meditate a little on this MERCY of the Lord.
默想一下主的怜悯。
(The following is by Spurgeon.)
（以下文字出自司布真。）
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！
以温柔慈爱的触摸，祂医治伤心的人，包扎他们的伤口。祂施怜悯的方式与内容同样充满恩典。
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 raises us up to great enjoyments in the great heaven of the great God!
这是伟大的怜悯！
在神里面没有渺小的事。
祂的怜悯如同祂自己——是无限的！
你无法测度它。祂的怜悯如此浩大，以至于赦免大罪人的大罪，经过漫长的时日，然后赐下大恩惠和大特权，将我们提升到伟大之神的伟大天堂中享受大喜乐！
It is undeserved mercy!
Indeed all true mercy must be undeserved, for deserved mercy is only a misnomer for justice. There was no right on the sinner’s part to the kind mercy of the Most High. Had the rebel been doomed at once to eternal fire he would have richly merited the doom. If delivered from wrath, sovereign love alone has found a cause, for there was none in the sinner himself.
这是不配得的怜悯！
确实，一切真实的怜悯必定是不配得的，因为配得的怜悯只是对公义的错误称呼。罪人没有权利得到至高者仁慈的怜悯。若叛逆者立即被判入永火，这判决是他完全应得的。若得拯救脱离忿怒，唯独主权之爱找到了理由，因为罪人本身毫无理由。
It is rich mercy!
Some things are great, but have little efficacy in them. But the mercy of God is–
A cordial to your drooping spirits!
A golden ointment to your bleeding wounds!
A heavenly bandage to 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，却少有功效。但神的怜悯是——
使你低沉之灵振作的良药！
抹在你流血伤口上的金色膏油！
包裹你断骨的天上绷带！
载着你疲惫双脚的御车！
怀抱你战栗心灵的慈爱胸襟！
It is manifold mercy!
As Bunyan says, “All the flowers in God’s garden are double.” 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!
这是多重的怜悯！
正如班扬所说：”神园中的花朵都是重瓣的。”没有单一的怜悯。你可能以为你只得到一个怜悯，但你会发现它是整串的怜悯！
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!
这是丰盛的怜悯！
千万人已经领受了它，却远未耗尽！它依然如往昔般新鲜、充盈、自由！
It is unfailing mercy!
It will never leave you. Mercy will be with you in temptation to keep you from yielding. Mercy will be with in trouble to prevent you from sinking. Mercy will be with you while living to be the light and life of your countenance. Mercy will be with you when dying to be the joy of your soul when earthly comfort is ebbing fast.
这是永不止息的怜悯！
它永不离弃你。怜悯必在试探中与你同在，保守你不致屈服。怜悯必在患难中与你同在，防止你下沉。怜悯必在你活着时与你同在，作你面容的光彩与生命。怜悯必在你临终时与你同在，当地上的安慰快速消逝时，作你灵魂的喜乐。
