罗马书八章三十五至三十九节，哥林多后书五章十四至十五节，以弗所书三章十四至十九节，这三处圣经，有一句话是相同的，就是“基督的爱。”虽然圣经里很多说到基督的爱，但是，明显的说到基督的爱，只有这三次。其余都是说到神的爱。实在说来，基督的爱，也就是神的爱，像刚才读的罗马八章三十五节是说“谁能使我们与基督的爱隔绝呢？”三十九节的结语是说“都不能叫我们与神的爱隔绝。”可见基督的爱与神的爱是二而一的了。不过，今天我所要讲的，是基督为着三种人的爱。
每一个信徒在这世上，都有他特别的经历，特别的艰难，特别的环境。保罗的意思是无论你的问题是甚么，答覆总是基督的爱。你的难处就是有一百样，解决这难处的，也是基督的爱。也许有的信徒是遭遇患难，也许有的信徒是非常困苦，也许有的信徒是遇见逼迫，也许有的信徒是感受饥饿。还有赤身露体、危险、刀剑等等都来到，也不能使我们与基督的爱隔绝，因基督的爱，能解决这许多的事情。你们曾否知道，许多的人被基督的爱抓住了，他就经过了许多人所不能经过的。
有一寡妇，因着丈夫死了，生活非常艰苦，欠人的房租无从出，所有的东西，典质都尽了。但是在这样的境遇中，她还有笑容。她甚么时候笑呢？就是当她对着她那生下还不到一周岁的孩子时，她笑了。她所以笑了，是因着爱。
我顶宝贝罗马八章三十七节的话，“在这一切的事上，已经得胜有余了！”是在这一切的事上，不是在这一切的事外。并且若按着原文直译，应当作“一切的事中。”是在这一切的事中我们都能得胜有余。如果没有这一切的事临到，就用不着得胜了。许多人想，没有患难，没有困苦，没有逼迫等等，就可以得胜了。但是，神的话是说，在这一切的事上，已经得胜有余了。是基督的爱叫你能胜过一切的患难、困苦、逼迫、饥饿、危险。基督的爱，是一个力量，叫你能胜过这一切。这些事都是苦的，但是因为尝了基督的爱，就并不觉得苦。
信息重点：无论患难、困苦、逼迫、饥饿、危险，或任何环境，都不能使我们与基督的爱隔绝。基督的爱不是使我们避开一切难处，乃使我们在这一切的事中得胜有余；尝到基督的爱，就得着力量经过原本难以经过的环境。
应用祷告：主耶稣，无论我今天遇到什么环境，求你使我深信没有什么能使我与你的爱隔绝。让我在一切的事中更多尝到你的爱，使你的爱成为我的力量，叫我靠着你得胜有余。阿们。

The Love of Christ — Rom. 8:35-39
Romans 8:35-39, 2 Corinthians 5:14-15 and Ephesians 3:14-19 these three passages of Scripture share one identical phrase: “the love of Christ”. Although the Bible speaks many times of the love of Christ, it is clear that when it comes to “the love of Christ”, there are only these three passages. All the rest speak of the love of God. In truth, the love of Christ is the love of God. As we just read, Romans 8:35 says, “Who will separate us from the love of Christ?” and the conclusion in verse 39 says that nothing “shall be able to separate us from the love of God.” This shows that the love of Christ and the love of God are one. However, what I want to speak of today is the love of Christ toward three kinds of men.
Every believer in this world has their own unique experiences, specific hardships and particular circumstances. Paul’s point is that, whatever your problem may be, the answer is always the love of Christ. Even if you face a hundred different difficulties, the solution to them all is the love of Christ. Some believers may encounter tribulation, others deep distress, persecution or hunger. Even nakedness, danger or the sword — none of these can separate us from the love of Christ, for His love is capable of resolving all such things. Do you realize that when people are grasped by the love of Christ, they are able to endure and overcome what others cannot?
There was a widow whose husband had died, and her life was extremely difficult; she had no way to pay the rent she owed, and she had was pawned all she had. But in such circumstances she still had a smile on her face. When did she smile? It was when she looked at her child, not yet a year old. She smiled because of her love.
I treasure the words of Romans 8:37 especially, “we overwhelmingly conquer.” It is *in* all these things, not apart from them. Indeed, a literal translation of the original text would be “in the midst of all these things.” It is in the midst of all these things that we are able to be more than conquerors. If these things did not come upon us, there would be no need for overcome. Many people imagine that conquer means an absence of tribulation, distress, persecution and the like. Yet God’s Word declares that we are already more than conquerors *in* all these things. It is the love of Christ that enables you to triumph over every tribulation, distress, persecution, famine and danger. The love of Christ is a power that empowers you to overcome them all. These experiences are bitter in themselves, but because you have tasted the love of Christ, you do not perceive them as bitter.
Message Main Points: No tribulation, distress, persecution, hunger, danger or any circumstance can separate us from the love of Christ. The love of Christ does not spare us from all difficulty but causes us to overwhelmingly conquer in the midst of it all; tasting the love of Christ gives us the strength to go through environments we could otherwise not endure.
Dally Prayer: Lord Jesus, whatever circumstance I face today, cause me to firmly believe that nothing can separate me from Your love. Let me taste more of Your love in the midst of all things, so that Your love becomes my strength, that I may overwhelmingly conquer through You. Amen.
