經文: 「救贖你的。」（以賽亞書五十四：5）

耶穌是我們永遠的救贖主。祂也是我們的王，我們的先知與際司，讓我們常常宣告祂是屬我們的這事實。祂也是我們的牧者、元帥與良人，祂無時無刻不以我們的完全與需要為念。祂無所不用其極地為要成全、榮耀我們，祂全備的豐盛，是我們永不枯竭的寶藏與靠山。
祂一生的事蹟是我們的典範與榜樣，祂無瑕疵的性情向我們彰顯了上帝的榮美；藉著對上帝的順服與世人的劬勞，祂賜給我們無限的恩典；祂的謙卑降世馬糟，讓我們知道上帝是如何來到人間；祂的十架，也為人類開了一條通往上帝的又新又活的道路。
祂一切的恩想、感情、行動、講論、奇蹟、祈禱、都是為了我們，祂代替我們受苦受難，走在荊棘路上，流血捨命，卻把換來的天國福份賞賜給我們。喔，我的靈哪！藉著聖靈，稱呼耶穌為我們的救贖主吧！

Scripture: “Thy Redeemer.”(“Thy Redeemer.”)

Jesus, the Redeemer, is altogether ours and ours for ever. All the offices of Christ are held on our behalf. He is king for us, priest for us, and prophet for us. Whenever we read a new title of the Redeemer, let us appropriate him as ours under that name as much as under any other. The shepherd's staff, the father's rod, the captain's sword, the priest's mitre, the prince's sceptre, the prophet's mantle, all are ours. Jesus hath no dignity which he will not employ for our exaltation, and no prerogative which he will not exercise for our defence. His fulness of Godhead is our unfailing, inexhaustible treasure-house.

His manhood also, which he took upon him for us, is ours in all its perfection. To us our gracious Lord communicates the spotless virtue of a stainless character; to us he gives the meritorious efficacy of a devoted life; on us he bestows the reward procured by obedient submission and incessant service. He makes the unsullied garment of his life our covering beauty; the glittering virtues of his character our ornaments and jewels; and the superhuman meekness of his death our boast and glory. He bequeaths us his manger, from which to learn how God came down to man; and his Cross to teach us how man may go up to God. All his thoughts, emotions, actions, utterances, miracles, and intercessions, were for us. He trod the road of sorrow on our behalf, and hath made over to us as his heavenly legacy the full results of all the labours of his life. He is now as much ours as heretofore; and he blushes not to acknowledge himself “our Lord Jesus Christ,” though he is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords. Christ everywhere and every way is our Christ, for ever and ever most richly to enjoy. O my soul, by the power of the Holy Spirit! call him this morning, “thy Redeemer.”
