4月29日 不义的法官
从心出发-第119章
The Unjust Judge, April 29
从心出发-第119章
“我虽不惧怕上帝，也不尊重世人，只因这寡妇烦扰我，我就给她伸冤吧，免得她常来缠磨我”（路18:4,5；阅路18:1-8）。[1]{FH 131.1}
从心出发-第119章
Though I do not fear God nor regard man, yet because this widow troubles me I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.Luke 18:4, 5. (Read?Luke 18:1-8.){FH 131.1}[1]
从心出发-第119章
基督在这个比喻中将不义的法官与上帝进行了鲜明的对比。那个法官虽然不惧怕上帝，也不尊重世人，却因寡妇的不断请求而应允了她。他的心肠虽然冷酷如冰，但那寡妇坚持不懈的请求获得了成功。他给她申了冤，虽然他一点儿不同情她，也不怜悯她，对她的不幸根本不介意。“主说：‘你们听这不义之官所说的话。上帝的选民昼夜呼吁祂，祂纵然为他们忍了多时，岂不终久给他们伸冤吗？我告诉你们，要快快的给他们伸冤了。’”[2]{FH 131.2}
从心出发-第119章
In this parable Christ draws a sharp contrast between the unjust judge and God. The judge, though fearing neither God nor man, listened to the widow because of her constant petitions. Although his heart remained like ice, yet the widow’s persistence resulted in her success. He avenged her, though he felt no pity or compassion for her, though her misery was nothing to him. “And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith. And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? I tell you that he will avenge them speedily.”{FH 131.2}[2]

法官答应寡妇的请求，只是出于自私的动机，想要摆脱她的缠扰。这与上帝对待寻求祂之人的态度是何等不同啊！我们的天父或许看似没有立刻回应祂子民的祈求和呼吁，但祂决不会冷漠地转身离开他们。在这个比喻和那个说到人半夜起来将饼给朋友，让他帮助一位旅客的比喻中，我们受到教导知道上帝垂听我们的祷告。我们经常以为自己的祷告不蒙垂听，并且怀存疑惑，不信任上帝，其实我们应该相信主的应许：“你们祈求，就给你们；寻找，就寻见；叩门，就给你们开门”（路11:9）。……[3]{FH 131.3}
从心出发-第119章
The judge yielded to the widow’s request merely because of selfishness, that he might be relieved of her persistence. How different is God’s attitude in regard to prayer! Our heavenly Father may not seem to respond immediately to the prayers and appeals of His people, but He never turns from them indifferently. In this parable and the parable of the man rising at midnight to supply his friend’s necessity, that the friend might minister to a needy, wayfaring man, we are taught that God hears our prayers. Too often we think that our petitions are unheard, and we cherish unbelief, distrusting God when we should claim the promise, “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.” ...{FH 131.3}[3]
从心出发-第119章
什么是祈祷呢？——只是陈说我们心灵的饥渴吗？不是的。祷告是陈明我们的困惑和需求，提出我们需要上帝帮助我们来对付仇敌魔鬼。……我们要祈求主保护我们的生命，保守我们的每一才干和能力，使我们能向造我们的主献上最高的服务。……[4]{FH 131.4}
从心出发-第119章
What is prayer—merely the presentation of our soul hunger? No; the presentation of our perplexities and necessities, and of our need of God’s help against our adversary the devil.... Prayer is to be offered for the preservation of life, for the preservation of every power and faculty, that we may render the highest service to our Maker....{FH 131.4}[4]
从心出发-第119章
那位公义的“法官”不会排斥任何怀着痛悔的心来到祂面前的人。祂喜爱正在与尘世的试探搏斗的教会，过于围绕祂宝座的威严天军。没有一个真诚的祷告会落空。在天上诗班的赞歌中，上帝听到最软弱之人的呼求。你这自感极其不配的人哪，要把你的事交给祂，因为祂在侧耳听你的呼求。“上帝既不爱惜自己的儿子，为我们众人舍了，岂不也把万物和祂一同白白的赐给我们吗”（罗8:32）？——《时兆》，1898年9月15日。[5]{FH 131.5}
从心出发-第119章
The just Judge repulses no one who comes to Him in contrition. He has more pleasure in His church, struggling with temptation here below, than in the imposing host of angels that surround His throne. Not one sincere prayer is lost. Amid the anthems of the celestial choir, God hears the cries of the weakest human being. You who feel most unworthy, commit your case to Him, for His ears are open to your cry. “He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?”—Signs of the Times, September 15, 1898.{FH 131.5}[5]
