奋斗与勇敢-第47章
(创19:1-14)
“那两个天使晚上到了所多玛;罗得正坐在所多玛城门口;看见他们,就起来迎接;……说,我主啊,请你们到仆人的家里……住一夜”(创19:1,2)。{CC 52.1}[1]

Genesis 19:1-14[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第47章
亚伯拉罕的侄儿罗得,虽然定居在所多玛城中,但他仍充满着那位先祖的和蔼好客的精神。在黄昏之时他见了两位陌生的人在城门口,既知道他们在这罪恶的城市中所必要遭逢的危险,便坚持带他们到他的家中过夜。他毫不顾及此举可能危及他本身和家人。他平生工作的一部分就是救弱扶危及照顾无家可归者,他向这二位不知名的旅客所施的善行,倒把天使接到了家中。他所设法要保护的人,竟保护了他。薄暮之时,他为安全起见便领他们到了自己的家门口;到了破晓,他们却领他和他的家人安全地离开那遭劫之邑的城门。(6T342){CC 52.2}[2]

And there came two angels to Sodom at even: and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; ... and he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into your servant’s house, and tarry all night. Genesis 19:1, 2. {CC 52.1}[2]

罗得并没有认识到他们的真身份,但他习惯有礼好客;这是他宗教信仰的一部分,是从亚伯拉罕的榜样所学来的教训。如果他没有养成这种殷勤有礼的精神,他或许会与所多玛的人同归于尽了。许多家庭闭门不接待生客,就把那原可带给他们福惠、希望和平安的天上使者拒诸门外了。{CC 52.3}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第47章
Lot, Abraham’s nephew, though he had made his home in Sodom, was imbued with the patriarch’s spirit of kindness and hospitality. Seeing at nightfall two strangers at the city gate, and knowing the dangers sure to beset them in that wicked city, Lot insisted on bringing them to his home. To the peril that might result to himself and his household he gave no thought. It was a part of his lifework to protect the imperiled and to care for the homeless, and the deed performed in kindness to two unknown travelers brought angels to his home. Those whom he sought to protect, protected him. At nightfall he had led them for safety to his door; at the dawn they led him and his household forth in safety from the gate of the doomed city.32 {CC 52.2}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第47章
生活上的每一件行为,无论多么小,都必产生或善或恶的影响。人对于看上去似乎是最小的事上所表现的忠心或疏忽,足以造成人生最丰富的福惠或最严重的灾祸。小事正足以试验人的品格。人以愉快甘心的精神在日常克己生活中所表现的谦虚的行为,乃是上帝所喜悦的。我们不可为自己而生活,乃要为他人而生活。而且我们惟有抱着舍己为人、和蔼可亲的精神,才能使我们的生活造福人群。小小的殷勤,区区的礼貌,对于人生的幸福有不少的贡献。人间的不幸有不少是因疏忽这些小节而来的。(PP158){CC 52.4}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第47章
Lot did not know their true character, but politeness and hospitality were habitual with him; they were a part of his religion—lessons that he had learned from the example of Abraham. Had he not cultivated a spirit of courtesy, he might have been left to perish with the rest of Sodom. Many a household, in closing its doors against a stranger, has shut out God’s messenger, who would have brought blessing and hope and peace. {CC 52.3}[4]
