得胜的基督-第149章
“所罗门造成了耶和华殿。……在耶和华殿和王宫，凡他心中所要做的，都顺顺利利地做成了”（代下7:11）。{CTr 154.1}[1]
得胜的基督-第149章
Thus Solomon finished the house of the Lord ... and all that came into Solomon’s heart to make in the house of the Lord, and in his own house, he prosperously effected.2 Chronicles 7:11.{CTr 154.1}[1]
得胜的基督-第149章
大约在三千年前，上帝指示在耶路撒冷兴建一座圣殿。上帝所拣选的民族已大蒙恩眷；他们住着豪宅，却仍在帐幕里敬拜上帝。上帝同在看得见的标志，就是祂的荣光，显示在基路伯之间，在完全的美丽中熠熠生辉。……{CTr 154.2}[2]
得胜的基督-第149章
Nearly three thousand years ago by divine appointment the temple was built in Jerusalem. The nation of God’s choice had been greatly favored; they dwelt in costly houses while they still worshiped God in the curtained tabernacle. Here the Shekinah, the visible emblem of God’s presence, dwelt between the cherubim, and out of the perfection of beauty God shined....{CTr 154.2}[2]
得胜的基督-第149章
过去有时我们似乎必须在非常简陋的地方敬拜上帝；但主不会因此收回祂的灵而不愿临格。那时祂的百姓已经尽力了。如果他们用心灵和诚实敬拜祂，祂决不会责备或非难他们的努力。……{CTr 154.3}[3]
得胜的基督-第149章
There have been times when it seemed necessary to worship God in very humble places; but the Lord did not withhold His Spirit nor refuse His presence because of this. It was the best His people could do at the time, and if they worshiped Him in Spirit and in truth, He never reproved or condemned their efforts....{CTr 154.3}[3]
得胜的基督-第149章
上帝提醒大卫，祂是从他卑微的处境中宣召他、赋予他重大责任的。祂要他永远记住，他的兴盛和成功来自上帝的赐福，而不是来自他所继承的任何优势。虽然上帝不让他实行他心中的愿望，但祂给了他第二等的荣誉，就是把工作交给他的儿子。{CTr 154.4}[4]
得胜的基督-第149章
The Lord reminded David of the lowly position he was in when He called him and entrusted him with great responsibilities, and He would have him ever bear in mind that his prosperity and success came through the blessing of God and not through any inherited goodness that he possessed. Although God did not allow him to carry out the wish of his heart, He granted him the next highest honor, that of entrusting the work to his son.{CTr 154.4}[4]
得胜的基督-第149章
所罗门得到了上帝所赐特别的智慧。但他无法从本民族本信仰的工人中找到完成建殿工程所需要的合格工匠。因此他需要聘请工匠，就是那些能发挥才干负起交给他们责任的人。……{CTr 154.5}[5]
得胜的基督-第149章
Solomon received special wisdom from God. Yet Solomon did not find among the workers of his nation and religion those qualifications, that fine skill, that he deemed essential to carry forward the work of building a temple for the God of heaven. He was therefore obliged to send away for artisans, people who would do justice to the responsible work entrusted to them....{CTr 154.5}[5]
得胜的基督-第149章
上帝并没有吩咐我们建造一所金碧辉煌、可以与圣殿比拟的教堂。然而我们要建造一间朴素的教堂，设计明快简朴，匀称完美。然后告诉那些有经济能力的人，看他们能否在建造敬拜上帝的殿时慷慨解囊，热心关注，就像他们给自己的住宅选址、建造、装修时那样。让他们甘心乐意在荣耀上帝的事上，表现得比对自己的事更加重视。让他们建造时注意细节，但不奢侈。让会堂建造得既便利又完美，以致在奉献给上帝的时候，祂能悦纳，并让祂的灵能降在那些定眼仰望祂荣耀的敬拜者身上。……每一个人，不论老少，都要带来礼物和捐款，帮助建造上帝的家。（Manuscript 1886.23）{CTr 154.6}[6]
得胜的基督-第149章
We have no command from God to erect a building that will compare for richness and splendor with the temple. But we are to build a humble house of worship, plain and simple, neat and perfect in its design. Then let those who have means look to it that they are as liberal and tasteful in erecting a temple wherein we may worship God as they have been in locating and building and furnishing their own houses. Let them manifest a willingness and a desire to show greater honor to God than themselves. Let them build with nicety, but not with extravagance. Let the house be built conveniently and thoroughly so that when it is presented to God He can accept it and let His Spirit rest upon the worshipers who have an eye single to His glory.... Let everyone, old and young, bring gifts and donations to help in building a house for God.—Manuscript 23, 1886.{CTr 154.6}[6]
