基督教育原理-第49章

  疗养院是一个广阔的传道园地。你们医科学生在殷勤学习上帝之道的时候，比其他一切学生得到好得多的预备；因为启迪总是来自恳切地研究圣经。医疗布道士要明白，他们越熟悉上帝和祂所差来的耶稣基督，越熟悉圣经的历史，就越有资格作工。巴特尔克里克学院的学生需要立志获得更高的知识，而能使他们知道一切的教训和获得持久记忆的，莫过于查考圣经了。在学习时要有真正的纪律。应该有极其谦卑、常常祈祷的心渴望知道真理。{FE 390.1}[1]

基督教育原理-第49章

  The Sanitarium is a broad missionary field. Your medical students, in studying the word of God diligently, are far better prepared for all other studies; for enlightenment comes always with an earnest study of the word. Let it be understood by medical missionaries that the better acquainted they become with God and Jesus Christ whom He hath sent, the better acquainted they become with Bible history, the better qualified they will be to do their work. The students in the College at Battle Creek need to aspire to higher knowledge, and nothing can give them a knowledge of all lessons, and a retentive memory, like the searching of the Scriptures. Let there be genuine discipline in study. There should be a most humble, prayerful longing of soul to know the truth. {FE 390.1}[1]

基督教育原理-第49章

  应当有非常忠心的教师，努力使学生明白圣经的教训，不是亲自解释一切的事，而是让学生认真解释所读的每一段落。要尊重学生爱追根究底的心。重视他们的质询。浮光掠影不会有什么益处。需要深思熟虑的调查研究和认真费力的学习才能领会圣经。圣经中有真理就象宝贵的矿脉隐藏在地表之下。藉着挖掘它们，就象人挖掘金银一样，就会发现隐藏的珍宝。要确信真理的证据就在圣经中。一节经文是解开其它经文的钥匙。上帝的圣灵展开经文所隐藏的丰富含意，向我们的悟性解明圣道：“祢的言语一解开，就发出亮光，使愚人通达”（诗119:130）。{FE 390.2}[2]

基督教育原理-第49章

  There should be most faithful teachers, who strive to make the students understand their lessons, not by explaining everything themselves but by letting the students explain thoroughly every passage which they read. Let the inquiring minds of the students be respected. Treat their inquiries with respect. To skim over the surface will do little good. Thoughtful investigation and earnest, taxing study are required to comprehend it. There are truths in the word which are like veins of precious ore concealed beneath the surface. By digging for them, as the man digs for gold and silver, the hidden treasures are discovered. Be sure that the evidence of truth is in the Scripture itself. One scripture is the key to unlock other scriptures. The rich and hidden meaning is unfolded by the Holy Spirit of God, making plain the word to our understanding: "The entrance of Thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple." {FE 390.2}[2]

基督教育原理-第49章

  圣经是适合我们学校学生的伟大课本，教导人上帝关乎亚当众儿女的全部旨意。圣经是人生的准则，教我们知道必须为不朽的来生塑造的品格。我们的信心、我们的行为，可以使我们成为活的荐信，为众人所知道，所念诵。人们不需要传统和习惯的昏暗亮光来使圣经易于理解，就象日午在天空照耀的太阳不需要火炬之光来增加它的荣耀一样。不需要祭司或传道人的寓言或话语来救学生脱离错误。而要请教上帝的圣言，你就会拥有亮光。圣经中说明了每一项本分，易于了解每一个教训，能使人为永生作好准备。基督的恩赐和圣灵的启发向我们启示圣父和圣子。圣经完全适合使男男女女及青少年有得救的智慧。在圣经中清楚启示了救恩的科学。“圣经都是上帝所默示的，于教训、督责、使人归正、教导人学义都是有益的，叫属上帝的人得以完全，预备行各样的善事”（提后3:16,17）。“应当查考圣经”（约5:39），因为那是上帝的劝勉，是上帝向人心灵说话的声音。——《教育特别证言》1895年12月1日。{FE 390.3}[3]

基督教育原理-第49章

  The word is the great lesson book for the students in our schools. The Bible teaches the whole will of God concerning the sons and daughters of Adam. The Bible is the rule of life, teaching us of the character we must form for the future, immortal life. Our faith, our practice, may make us living epistles, known and read of all men. Men need not the dim light of tradition and custom to make the Scriptures comprehensible. It is just as sensible to suppose that the sun, shining in the heavens at noon-day, needs the glimmerings of the torchlight of earth to increase its glory. The fables or the utterances of priests or of ministers, are not needed to save the student from error. Consult the divine Oracle, and you have light. In the Bible every duty is made plain, every lesson is comprehensible, able to fit men with a preparation for eternal life. The gift of Christ and the illumination of the Holy Spirit reveal to us the Father and the Son. The word is exactly adapted to make men and women and youth wise unto salvation. In the word is the science of salvation plainly revealed. "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: that the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works." "Search the Scriptures," for therein is the counsel of God, the voice of God speaking to the soul.--"Special Testimonies on Education," December 1, 1895. {FE 390.3}[3]
