奋斗与勇敢-第51章
(创22:1-14)
“亚伯拉罕因着信,被试验的时候,就把以撒献上:这便是那欢喜领受应许的,将自己独生的儿子献上。……他以为上帝还能叫人从死里复活”(来11:17-19)。{CC 56.1}[1]

Genesis 22:1-14[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第51章
上帝曾选召亚伯拉罕,叫他作有信心之人的父。他的一生,要作为以后各世代信心的榜样。但是过去他的信心并不是完全的。他曾在隐瞒撒拉是他的妻子,又在娶夏甲的事上显明自己没有信赖上帝的心。上帝为要使他达到最高的标准,就叫他再受一次试验,是历来人所遭受最严格的试验。(PP147){CC 56.2}[2]
奋斗与勇敢-第51章
By faith Abraham when he was tried, offered up Isaac; and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, ... accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead. Hebrews 11:17-19. {CC 56.1}[2]
奋斗与勇敢-第51章
耶和华对他说:“你带着你的儿子,就是你独生的儿子,你所爱的以撒,”“把他献为燔祭”(创22:2)。老人的心因恐怖而静止。这样的一个儿子若因疾病而丧失,已足使钟爱他的父亲极其心痛,伤心地低垂白首了。然而如今却是奉命,要他亲手去流儿子的宝血。在他看来,这似乎是一件骇人而不能做到的事。然而上帝已经开口了。祂的话是必须服从的。亚伯拉罕已属风烛暮年,但这却不能使他免担责任。他抓住了信心的杖,在沉默的苦痛之中,领着他那英俊健美年少的孩子,去实行上帝的命令。……{CC 56.3}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第51章
God had called Abraham to be the father of the faithful, and his life was to stand as an example of faith to succeeding generations. But his faith had not been perfect. He had shown distrust of God in concealing the fact that Sarah was his wife, and again in his marriage with Hagar. That he might reach the highest standard, God subjected him to another test, the closest which man was ever called to endure.39 {CC 56.2}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第51章
亚伯拉罕并没有停下来问,如果以撒被杀了,上帝的应许如何实现。他并没有耽搁,与自己痛苦的心理论,而是切实执行那道神圣的命令,直到他正举刀要砍进那童子发抖的肉体之时,上帝的话临到了:“你不可在这童子身上下手!一点不可害他;现在我知道你是敬畏上帝的了,因为你没有将你的儿子,就是你独生的儿子,留下不给我”(创22:12)。(4T144,145){CC 56.4}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第51章
The Lord spoke unto him, saying: “Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest,” “and offer him ... for a burnt offering.” The heart of the old man stood still with horror. The loss of such a son by disease would have been most heartrending to the fond father, it would have bowed his whitened head with sorrow; but now he is commanded to shed the precious blood of that son with his own hand. It seemed to him a fearful impossibility. Yet God had spoken, and His word must be obeyed. Abraham was stricken in years, but this did not excuse him from duty. He grasped the staff of faith and in dumb agony took by the hand his child, beautiful in the rosy health of youth, and went out to obey the word of God.... {CC 56.3}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第51章
亚伯拉罕出于信心的行为,是为我们的益处而记录的。这件事教导我们信任上帝要求的伟大教训,不论这要求是多么严厉直率;也教训儿女们当完全顺服父母及上帝。亚伯拉罕的顺从教训我们,没有什么东西是太宝贵,是我们不能献给上帝的。(3T368){CC 56.5}[5]
奋斗与勇敢-第51章
Abraham did not stop to question how God’s promises could be fulfilled if Isaac were slain. He did not stay to reason with his aching heart, but carried out the divine command to the very letter, till, just as the knife was about to be plunged into the quivering flesh of the child, the word came: “Lay not thine hand upon the lad;” “for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me.” 40 {CC 56.4}[5]
