Jesus Was From Nazareth, August 13
从心出发-第225章
“拿撒勒还能出什么好的吗”(约1:46)?[1]{FH 237.1}
从心出发-第225章
Can anything good come out of Nazareth??John 1:46.{FH 237.1}[1]
从心出发-第225章
基督最初三十年的生活,是在拿撒勒的穷乡僻壤中度过的。这个乡村的居民以恶名昭著,所以拿但业问道:“拿撒勒还能出什么好的吗?”四福音书很少提到基督早年的生活。除了那一段述说祂陪同父母去耶路撒冷的简短记录之外,我们只有以下的简略陈述:“孩子渐渐长大,强健起来,充满智慧;又有上帝的恩在祂身上”(路2:40)。……[2]{FH 237.2}
从心出发-第225章
The first thirty years of the life of Christ were passed in the obscure village of Nazareth. The inhabitants of this village were proverbial for their wickedness, hence the inquiry of Nathanael, “Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth?” The evangelists say but very little in regard to the early life of Christ. With the exception of a brief account of His accompanying His parents to Jerusalem, we have the simple statement only, “And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.” ...{FH 237.2}[2]
从心出发-第225章
儿童和青少年时常处于一种不利于度基督徒生活的环境中,很容易屈从试探,并以自己环境不利作为犯罪的借口。……[3]{FH 237.3}
从心出发-第225章
Children and youth are frequently situated where their surroundings are not favorable to a Christian life, and they quite readily yield to temptations and plead as an excuse for pursuing a course of sin that their surroundings are unfavorable....{FH 237.3}[3]
从心出发-第225章
基督所经之路的崎岖艰难,远甚于儿童和青少年所蒙召经历的。祂并没有享受优裕闲懒的生活。祂的父母是贫穷的,须依靠每日辛劳为生;因此基督的生活是贫寒、刻苦、困乏的。祂分担了父母辛勤劳碌的生活。[4]{FH 237.4}
从心出发-第225章
Christ placed His feet in the most uneven path that children and youth will ever be called to travel. He did not have allotted to Him a life of affluence and indolence. His parents were poor and dependent upon their daily toil for sustenance; therefore the life of Christ was one of poverty, self-denial, and privation. He shared with His parents their life of diligent industry.{FH 237.4}[4]
从心出发-第225章
没有人必须在比我们救主所处的更不利的环境中培养完全的基督化品格。拿撒勒原是人们所认为不能出什么好东西的地方,而基督竟在那里度了三十年的生活;这个事实对于那些以为自己的宗教品质必须适应环境的青年乃是一种谴责。如果青年的环境不适意,甚至是绝对恶劣的,许多人就以此作为不能培养完美基督徒品格的借口。基督的榜样却驳斥了那种认为祂的信徒若想度无可指摘的生活,就有赖于地域、命运与顺利环境的想法。基督要教训他们:凡是上帝所安排给他们的任何地方或职分,不论它是多么的卑微,他们的忠心必可使之成为光荣的。……[5]{FH 237.5}
从心出发-第225章
None will ever be called to perfect Christian character under more unfavorable circumstances than that of our Savior. The fact that Christ lived thirty years in Nazareth, from which many thought it a wonder if any good thing could come, is a rebuke to the youth who consider that their religious character must conform to circumstances. If the surroundings of youth are unpleasant and positively bad, many make this an excuse for not perfecting Christian character. The example of Christ would rebuke the idea that His followers are dependent upon place, fortune, or prosperity in order to live blameless lives. Christ would teach them that their faithfulness would make any place, or position, where the providence of God called them, honorable, however humble....{FH 237.5}[5]
从心出发-第225章
许多青年所埋怨的艰苦穷困,基督却毫无怨言地忍受了。况且这正是青年所必需经受的锻炼,能使他们的品格坚强,并能象基督一般,有强壮的灵性抵拒试探。……他们藉着天天祷告上帝,就必从祂得到智慧和恩典来应付人生的战争和严酷的现实生活,并且取得胜利。——《青年导报》,1872年3月1日。[6]{FH 237.6}
从心出发-第225章
The trials and privations of which so many youth complain, Christ endured without murmuring. And this discipline is the very experience the youth need, which will give firmness to their character and make them like Christ, strong in spirit to resist temptation.... Through daily prayer to God they will have wisdom and grace from Him to bear the conflicts and stern realities of life and come off victorious.—Youth’s Instructor, March 1872.{FH 237.6}[6]
