（大意翻译：在旧约《列王记上》，两个女人要所罗门王判案，两个女人都说孩子是自己的。所罗门说把孩子劈成两半，一人一半，结果亲身母亲说不要孩子了，而假母亲却同意那样做。所罗门把孩子判给了不要孩子的女人。所罗门凭什么判的案子？他不是凭女人的口说，而是女人的行为去为是自己的孩子提供证据。神也是这样看我们的行为，他不要我们的行为去买救恩，而是证明我们已经有了救恩。耶稣的报血已经买到了救恩，他为所有人的罪死了。我们唯一信他。）

Let me close with an illustration that I think makes clear how deeds will function in the final judgment. Remember the story of how two harlots brought a baby to king Solomon, each claiming that the baby was hers (1 Kings 3:16–27). They asked king Solomon to act as judge between them. He said that a sword should be brought and that the baby should be divided and half given to the one and half to the other. The true mother cried out, "O, my lord, give her the child and by no means kill it." Solomon said, give this woman the child, for she is its mother.

What was Solomon looking for? He was not looking for a deed that would earn the child. He was looking for a deed that would prove that the child was already possessed by birth. That is the way God looks at our deeds. He is not looking for deeds that purchase our pardon in his judgment hall. He is looking for deeds that prove we are already enjoying our pardon. The purchase of our pardon was the blood of Jesus, sufficient once for all to cover all our sins. And the means by which we own it is faith—and faith alone.

That is what this communion is all about, and I invite you to prepare your hearts to remember and to savor the blood of Jesus.
