22/8/2019 耶和华神的慈爱永远长存

赛43:22-25 雅各阿、你并没有求告我．以色列阿、你倒厌烦我。你没有将你的羊带来给我作燔祭、也没有用祭物尊敬我．我没有因供物使你服劳、也没有因乳香使你厌烦。你没有用银子为我买菖蒲、也没有用祭物的脂油使我饱足、倒使我因你的罪恶服劳、使我因你的罪孽厌烦。惟有我为自己的缘故涂抹你的过犯、我也不记念你的罪恶。 Yet you have not called on me, Jacob; but you have been weary of me, Israel. You have not brought me of your sheep for burnt offerings; neither have you honored me with your sacrifices. I have not burdened you with offerings, nor wearied you with frankincense. You have bought me no sweet cane with money, nor have you filled me with the fat of your sacrifices; but you have burdened me with your sins. You have wearied me with your iniquities. I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions for my own sake; and I will not remember your sins. 主耶稣！以色列民，三番四次的忘恩，然而神的慈爱却是永远长存。主啊！不是我们比以色列民更懂得感恩，不是因为我们以神的名行了什么公益良善的事，乃是因为祢名的缘故，祢赦免了我们的一切过犯，罪孽，不记念我们的罪恶。
