愿他以我的默念为甘甜,我要因耶和华欢喜(诗104:34)。
我的良人在男子中,如同苹果树在树林中。我欢欢喜喜坐在他的荫下,尝他果子的滋味,觉得甘甜(歌2:3)。在天空谁能比耶和华呢? 神的众子中,谁能像耶和华呢(诗89:6)? 我的良人白而且红,超乎万人之上(歌5:10)。一颗重价的珠子(太13:46)。为世上君王元首的耶稣基督(启l:5)。他的头像至精的金子;他的头发厚密累垂,黑如乌鸦(歌5:11)。他是教会全体之首(西1:18)。他的两腮如香花畦(歌5:13)。耶稣隐藏不住(可7:24)。他的嘴唇像百合花,且滴下没药汁(歌5:13)。从来没有像他这样说话的(约7:46)。 他的形状如利巴嫩,且佳美如香柏树(雅5:15)。耶和华啊,求你仰起脸来,光照我们(诗4:6)。
My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the Lord. PSA. 104:34.
As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste. — For who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the LORD? My beloved is white and ruddy, the chiefest among ten thousand. — One pearl of great price. — The prince of the kings of the earth. His head is as the most fine gold, his locks are bushy, and black as a raven. — The head over all things. — He is the head of the body, the church. His cheeks are as a bed of spices, as sweet flowers. — He could not be hid. His lips like lilies, dropping sweet smelling myrrh. — Never man spake like this man. His countenance is as Lebanon, excellent as the cedars. — Make thy face to shine upon thy servant. — LORD, lift thou up the light thy countenance upon us.

我父啊,倘若可行,求你叫这杯离开我;然而,不要照我的意思,只要照你的意思(太26:39)。
我现在心里忧愁,我说什么才好呢?父啊,救我脱离这时候,但我原是为这时候来的(约12:27)。我从天上降下来,不是要按自己的意思行,乃是要按那差我来者的意思行(约6:38)。存心顺服,以至于死,且死在十字架上(腓2:8)。基督在肉体的时候既大声哀哭,流泪祷告,恳求那能救他免死的主,就因他的虔诚蒙了应允。他虽然为儿子,还是因所受的苦难学了顺从(来5:7,8)。 你想我不能求我父现在为我差遣十二营多天使来吗(太26:53)? 照经上所写的,基督必受害,第三日从死里复活,并且人要奉他的名传悔改、赦罪的道,从耶路撒冷起直传到万邦(路24:46,47)。
O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt. MATT. 26:39.
Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour. I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. — He … became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. — In the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared; though he were a Son, yet learned he obed-ience by the things which he suffered. Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels? — Thus it is written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
