标 题：主行在你前面
经 节：“但我复活以后，要在你们以先往加利利去。”（马可福音十四章28节）
耶稣永远不会把你孤孤单单地丢在某个处境不管你。祂总是比祂的孩子先行一步，诚如当年祂白日以云柱、夜晚以火柱带领以色列的儿女一样。你不会作祂的先锋部队，置身于陌生的逆境中。祂总是在你所遇的任何环境先行一步。你的遭遇不会使神大惊小怪，因为祂早已先到达那儿。祂早已预备好要满足你每个需要，因为祂早就走在你的前面，祂知道你人生所有需求（申命记卅一：8）。
神不但走在你的前面，祂也在你的四周环绕你、保护你、安慰你（诗篇一三九：7～12）。耶稣知道门徒会因自己的十字架受难、而张皇失措，所以，祂先向他们保证自己会比他们先行一步，无论发生什么事、去任何地方，门徒都可以放心前进。保罗也曾亲身经历这个保证（使徒行传十八：9，廿三：11）。无论你处在任何慌乱的处境，你的主在那里！
如果你正经历困惑的逆境，要知道你的主已经走在你的前头，祂与你同在。祂完全了解你所面对的苦境，祂主动地回应你的需要。不可能有个地方是你能去，而基督不走在你前头等待你加入祂。即使当你面对死亡，你可以确信祂已先你战胜死亡。作为神的儿女，要安息，因为你的救主已经走在你的前面，祂会与你同行一生。
Your
Lord Precedes You
“But
after I have been raised, I will go before you to Galilee.” (Mark 14:28)
God never sends you into a situation
alone. He always goes before His children, as He did with the children of
Israel when He led them with a cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night. You
do not serve as His advance troops in a foreign and hostile situation. He
always precedes you in any situation you encounter. God is never caught by
surprise by your experience; He has already been there. He is prepared to meet
every need because He has gone before you and knows exactly what you will need
for your pilgrimage (Deut. 31:8).
Not only does God go before you, but He also
stands beside you and behind you, to provide protection and comfort (Ps.
139:7–12). Jesus knew His disciples would be totally bewildered by His
crucifixion, so He assured them in advance that no matter what happened, no
matter where they went, they could go in confidence that He had already gone
before them. Paul, too, experienced this assurance (Acts 18:9; 23:11). In the
most bewildering circumstances, his Lord was there!
If you are going through a difficult or
confusing time, know that your Lord has gone before you and He is present with
you. He is fully aware of what you are facing, and He is actively responding to
your need. There is nowhere you can go that you will not find Christ waiting
for you to join Him. Even when you face death, you can be assured that He has
gone before you in triumph. As a child of God, rest in the knowledge that your
Savior preceded you, and He will walk with you through each experience of your
life.
