Good day Redeemed of the Lord—washed by the blood, sealed by the Spirit.
“Jesus Christ is Himself the sum total of the covenant, and, as one of its gifts, He is the possession of every believer. Dear Christian, are you able to fathom what you have received in Him “for in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form” (Col. 2:9)?
Consider the word God in all its infinite greatness, and then meditate on the beauty of “becoming mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ” (Eph. 4:13). Remember, as God and man, all that Christ ever had or has is yours purely because of His favor. It has been freely bestowed on you and will be your inheritance forever.
Our blessed Jesus, as God, is omniscient, omnipresent, and omnipotent. Isn’t it comforting to know that all of these glorious attributes are totally yours? Does He have the power you need? His power is yours in order to support and strengthen you, subdue your enemies, and sustain you forever.
Does He have the love you need? There is not a drop of love in His heart that is not yours, and you may dive into His immense ocean of love and say, “This is all mine!”
Does He have the justice you need? This may seem to be an unpleasant attribute, but even it is yours. And it is this very justice that will make sure everything promised in His covenant of grace will indeed be secured for you.
You also share in the Father’s delight that was upon Him as a perfect man. He was accepted by the Most High God. Therefore, dear believer, God’s acceptance of Christ is your acceptance as well. Do you not realize that the love the Father bestowed on the perfect Christ He now bestows on you?
All that Christ accomplished is yours. The perfect righteousness Jesus displayed is yours. Throughout His untarnished life He obeyed the law, made it honorable, and His righteousness is now imputed to you. Through the covenant, Christ is yours!
My God, I am yours — what a comfort divine!
What a blessing to know that the Savior is mine!
In heaven’s pure Lamb, threefold happy I am,
And my heart does a dance at the sound of His name.
Charles Wesley, 1707 – 1788” [Charles Spurgeon]
Indeed as Christ our Defender has defeated sin and death; and as Christ our Mediator intercedes for us day and night; and as Christ our King is Lord of heaven and earth, how then can we keep from singing?
‘Almighty God and loving Heavenly Father,
We humbly and gratefully acknowledge your providence and presence in our lives. We are so blessed to be yours in Christ—to be co-heirs with him and recipients of all your riches in grace through him.
We are so amazed by your graciousness towards undeserving sinners like us—when You pardoned, adopted, and accepted us as your beloved children because of Jesus. Realizing how You continue to have mercy and compassion on us in our times of weakness and failure, gives us an overwhelming sense of comfort and security that steadies us through the storms of life. Knowing that your love never fails, gives up, or runs out, regardless of what life may bring, gives us perfect peace—one that the world can neither understand nor provide, but will always long for.
We praise You and thank You for generously affording us our only comfort in life and death—that we belong, totally and forever, to Jesus Christ, your Son, our Savior; the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. In whose death we live; in whose life, we triumph; in whose power we stand; and in whose Name we pray, Amen.’

Scripture Reading
Matthew 21 : 33 – 44
33 “Hear another parable. There was a master of a house who planted a vineyard and put a fence around it and dug a wine press in it and built a tower and leased it to tenants, and went into another country. 34 When the season for fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants to get his fruit. 35 And the tenants took his servants and beat one, killed another, and stoned another. 36 Again he sent other servants, more than the first. And they did the same to them. 37 Finally he sent his son to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’ 38 But when the tenants saw the son, they said to themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and have his inheritance.’ 39 And they took him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. 40 When therefore the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?” 41 They said to him, “He will put those wretches to a miserable death and let out the vineyard to other tenants who will give him the fruits in their seasons.”
42 Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures:
“‘The stone that the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone;
this was the Lord’s doing,
and it is marvelous in our eyes’?
43 Therefore I tell you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people producing its fruits. 44 And the one who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; and when it falls on anyone, it will crush him.”
馬 太 福 音 21 : 33 – 44
33 你 們 再 聽 一 個 比 喻 ： 有 個 家 主 栽 了 一 個 葡 萄 園 ， 周 圍 圈 上 籬 笆 ， 裡 面 挖 了 一 個 壓 酒 池 ， 蓋 了 一 座 樓 ， 租 給 園 戶 ， 就 往 外 國 去 了 。
34 收 果 子 的 時 候 近 了 ， 就 打 發 僕 人 到 園 戶 那 裡 去 收 果 子 。
35 園 戶 拿 住 僕 人 ， 打 了 一 個 ， 殺 了 一 個 ， 用 石 頭 打 死 一 個 。
36 主 人 又 打 發 別 的 僕 人 去 ， 比 先 前 更 多 ； 園 戶 還 是 照 樣 待 他 們 。
37 後 來 打 發 他 的 兒 子 到 他 們 那 裡 去 ， 意 思 說 ： 他 們 必 尊 敬 我 的 兒 子 。
38 不 料 ， 園 戶 看 見 他 兒 子 ， 就 彼 此 說 ： 這 是 承 受 產 業 的 。 來 罷 ， 我 們 殺 他 ， 佔 他 的 產 業 ！
39 他 們 就 拿 住 他 ， 推 出 葡 萄 園 外 ， 殺 了 。
40 園 主 來 的 時 候 要 怎 樣 處 治 這 些 園 戶 呢 ？
41 他 們 說 ： 要 下 毒 手 除 滅 那 些 惡 人 ， 將 葡 萄 園 另 租 給 那 按 著 時 候 交 果 子 的 園 戶 。
42 耶 穌 說 ： 經 上 寫 著 ： 匠 人 所 棄 的 石 頭 已 作 了 房 角 的 頭 塊 石 頭 。 這 是 主 所 做 的 ， 在 我 們 眼 中 看 為 希 奇 。 這 經 你 們 沒 有 念 過 麼 ？
43 所 以 我 告 訴 你 們 ， 神 的 國 必 從 你 們 奪 去 ， 賜 給 那 能 結 果 子 的 百 姓 。
44 誰 掉 在 這 石 頭 上 ， 必 要 跌 碎 ； 這 石 頭 掉 在 誰 的 身 上 ， 就 要 把 誰 砸 得 稀 爛 。
