《为我们之故》
经文:“只是为选民,那日子必减少了。”(马太福音廿四∶22)
上帝为了祂的选民,未施行许多的审判,并减少那患难的日子。在大灾难当中,天火要吞灭世人,但为了选民的缘故,上帝稍微浇熄火的威势,所以,上帝为了耶稣之故拯救祂的选民,同时,也为了祂的选民,存留余种。
圣徒的身份是何等尊贵!他们又是何等地殷勤,靠着主发挥他们的影响力,上帝要听他们为罪人的代求,也要因着他们所付出的代价,拯救他们所代祷的对象。祂要施恩给信徒,因为他们实在是未信之人的祝福。有许多罪人还活着,实在是因为他的亲戚朋友中,有上帝所敬重的信徒为他付上流泪的代祷。
我们可曾好好使用上帝给我们的祷告权柄?我们是否尽上本份,好好地为国家、为这块土地、为这个世代祷告?在灾荒战祸,哀鸿遍野的时刻,我们可曾挺身出来,作个代祷勇士?恳求主将这日子缩短。我们是否为着现今政治的乱象,色情的泛滥,人心的贪婪,在上帝面前忧心恳切地祷告?我们是否切切地求上帝,破除偶像迷信的猖獗,让上帝荣耀的显现赶快临到?让我们双膝跪下,恳切祷告,直到主基督这颗明星再现。

Because of Us
Scripture: "For the elect's sake those days be shortened" (Matthew 24:22).
For the sake of His elect the LORD withholds many judgments and shortens others. In great tribulations the fire would devour all were it not that out of regard to His elect the LORD damps the flame. Thus, while He saves His elect for the sake of Jesus, He also preserves the race for the sake of His chosen.
What an honor is thus put upon saints! How diligently they ought to use their influence with their LORD! He will hear their prayers for sinners and bless their efforts for their salvation. He blesses believers that they may be a blessing to those who are in unbelief. Many a sinner lives because of the prayers of a mother, or wife, or daughter to whom the LORD has respect.
Have we used aright the singular power with which the LORD entrusts us? Do we pray for our country, for other lands, and for the age? Do we, in times of war, famine, pestilence, stand out as intercessors, pleading that the days may be shortened? Do we lament before God the outbursts of infidelity, error, and licentiousness? Do we beseech our LORD Jesus to shorten the reign of sin by hastening His own glorious appearing? Let us get to our knees and never rest till Christ appeareth.
