Chapter 49—The Need of Christian Education
告青年书-第55章
上帝要求人的智力得到培养。祂希望祂的仆人比世人有更多的知识和更清晰的判断力。祂并不喜欢那些过于疏忽和懒惰，不肯作有效率，有见识之工人的人。主吩咐我们要尽心、尽性、尽意、尽力地爱祂。所以我们有责任尽量发展自己智力，专心致志地认识并敬爱我们的创造主。{MYP 173.1}[1]
告青年书-第55章
God requires the training of the mental faculties. He designs that His servants shall possess more intelligence and clearer discernment than the worldling, and He is displeased with those who are too careless or too indolent to become efficient, well-informed workers. The Lord bids us love Him with all the heart, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and with all the mind. This lays upon us the obligation of developing the intellect to its fullest capacity, that with all the mind we may know and love our Creator.{MYP 173.1}[1]
告青年书-第55章
人的智力如果处在圣灵的控制下，那么越受到充分的培养，就越能有效地为上帝服务。一个没有受过教育的人如果献身给上帝，并希望造福他人，他确实能为主所用为祂服务了。但那些受过充分教育而怀有同样献身精神的人，却能为基督作更广泛的工作。他们是处于优势的。{MYP 173.2}[2]
告青年书-第55章
If placed under the control of His Spirit, the more thoroughly the intellect is cultivated the more effectively it can be used in the service of God. The uneducated man who is consecrated to God and who longs to bless others can be, and is, used by the Lord in His service. But those who, with the same spirit of consecration, have had the benefit of a thorough education, can do a much more extensive work for Christ. They stand on vantage ground.{MYP 173.2}[2]
告青年书-第55章
【为更高的服务而训练】
上帝希望我们尽可能地接受教育，以便把自己的知识传授给别人。没有人知道自己会蒙召到什么地方，或怎样能为上帝作工或说话。惟独我们的天父知道祂能把人培养到什么程度。在我们面前有我们软弱的信心所难以明了的事。我们的心智应受到良好的训练，以便在必要时能在地上的最高当局面前宣讲圣经的真理，荣耀主的圣名。我们决不要错过任何培养智力为上帝服务的机会。{MYP 173.3}[3]
告青年书-第55章
【Training for Higher Service】
The Lord desires us to obtain all the education possible, with the object in view of imparting our knowledge to others. None can know where or how they may be called to labor or to speak for God. Our Heavenly Father alone sees what He can make of men. There are before us possibilities?which our feeble faith does not discern. Our minds should be so trained that if necessary we can present the truths of His word before the highest earthly authorities in such a way as to glorify His name. We should not let slip even one opportunity of qualifying ourselves intellectually to work for God.{MYP 173.3}[3]
告青年书-第55章
【全面的教育】
凡需要受教育的青年，应当下决心努力争取教育。不要等待机会，而要为自己创造机会。要把握面前任何小小的门路。要实行节约，不要把钱浪费在满足食欲或追求享乐上。要立志遵照上帝的呼召，成为有用和有效的人。不论你作什么事情，都要忠心耿耿，贯彻始终。要尽可能地争取每一个增强智力的机会。要把书本的研究与实用的体力劳动结合起来，通过忠实的努力、儆醒、祈祷，获得那从上面来的智慧。这样，你就获得了全面的教育。你的品格就会提高，并领受了一种感化别人的力量，把他们引到公义圣洁的道路。{MYP 174.1}[4]
告青年书-第55章
【An All-Round Education】
Let the youth who need an education set to work with a determination to obtain it. Do not wait for an opening; make one for yourselves. Take hold in any small way that presents itself. Practice economy. Do not spend your means for the gratification of appetite or in pleasure-seeking. Be determined to become as useful and efficient as God calls you to be. Be thorough and faithful in whatever you undertake. Procure every advantage within your reach for strengthening the intellect. Let the study of books be combined with useful manual labor, and by faithful endeavor, watchfulness, and prayer, secure the wisdom that is from above. This will give you an all-round education. Thus you may rise in character and gain an influence over other minds, enabling you to lead them in the path of uprightness and holiness.{MYP 174.1}[4]
告青年书-第55章
我们如果重视自己的机会和特权，就能在自我培养的工作上取得更大的成就。真教育超越了大学所提供的范围。科学研究固然不可忽视，但是还有一种更高的训练是藉着与上帝的活泼联络而获得的。要让每一位学生拿起圣经，亲自与那位大教师交往。要培养和训练心智在寻求神圣真理的时候努力克服困难。{MYP 174.2}[5]
告青年书-第55章
Far more might be accomplished in the work of self-education if we were awake to our own opportunities and privileges. True education means more than the colleges can give. While the study of the sciences is not to be neglected, there is a higher training to be obtained through a vital connection with God. Let every student take his Bible, and place himself in communion with the great Teacher.Let the mind be trained and disciplined to wrestle with hard problems in the search for divine truth.{MYP 174.2}[5]
告青年书-第55章
【知识与自律】
凡渴慕知识以造福同胞的人，自己也必领受上帝的福气。通过研究圣经，他们的智力会得到振奋而积极运作起来。他们的才能将得到扩大和发展，心灵也将获得力量与效能。{MYP 175.1}[6]
告青年书-第55章
【Knowledge and Self-discipline】
Those who hunger for knowledge that they may bless their fellow men will themselves receive blessing from God. Through the study of His Word their mental powers will be aroused to earnest activity. There will be an expansion and development of the faculties, and the mind will acquire power and efficiency.{MYP 175.1}[6]
告青年书-第55章
凡希望成为上帝工人的人必须实行自律。这样作的效果胜过雄辩的口才或卓越的才能。——《基督比喻实训》334，335页{MYP 175.2}[7]
告青年书-第55章
Self-discipline must be practiced by every one who would be a worker for God. This will accomplish more than eloquence or the most brilliant talents.—Christ’s Object Lessons, 333-335.{MYP 175.2}[7]
告青年书-第55章
【不辜负父母的期望】
行义总是最好，最安全的。你现在愿意进行认真的思考吗？正确的思想会产生正确的行动。要决心不辜负父母对你的期望，以不懈的努力追求优秀，使父母不致白白为你化钱。要以坚定的宗旨与父母和教师通力合作，达到知识与品格的崇高水准。要决心不使爱你和充分信任你的人失望。行义是一件勇敢的事。如果你因公义而行义，耶稣定会帮助你。——《基督教育原理》248页{MYP 175.3}[8]
告青年书-第55章
【Meeting Expectations of Parents】
It is always best and safe to do right because it is right. Will you not now do some serious thinking? Right thinking lies at the foundation of right action. Make up your mind that you will respond to the expectations your parents have of you, that you will make faithful efforts to excel, that you will see to it that the money expended for you has not been misapplied and misused. Have a determined purpose to co-operate with the efforts made by parents and teachers, and reach a high standard of knowledge and character. Be determined not to disappoint those who love you well enough to trust you. It is manly to do right, and Jesus will help you to do right, if you seek to do it because it is right.—Fundamentals of Christian Education, 248.{MYP 175.3}[8]
