Answering God’s Call, September 6
从心出发-第249章
“随后就起身跟随以利亚,服事他”(王上9:21)。[1]{FH 261.1}
从心出发-第249章
Then he arose and followed Elijah, and became his servant.1 Kings 19:21.{FH 261.1}[1]
从心出发-第249章
在那三年半的饥荒期间,沙法一家已经了解了先知以利亚的使命。上帝的灵感动伊莱沙的心,使他知道以利亚把自己的外衣搭在他身上的意义。这是上帝呼召他接续以利亚的信号。他急忙跑向先知,追上他,求他容自己辞别自己的父母和家人。[2]{FH 261.2}
从心出发-第249章
During the three years and a half of barrenness and famine, the family of Shaphat had become familiar with the mission of Elijah the prophet, and the Spirit of God impressed the heart of Elisha in regard to the meaning of this action [Elijah’s placing his mantle on him]. This was the signal that God had called him to be the successor of Elijah. He hastened after the prophet and, overtaking him, asked permission to take leave of his parents and bid farewell to his family.{FH 261.2}[2]
从心出发-第249章
以利亚的回答是:“你回去吧,我向你作了什么呢”(王上19:20)?这句话并不是拒绝,却是一个试验。伊莱沙的心若是依恋自己的家和它的利益,他尽可以留在那里。但伊莱沙已准备好听从上帝的呼召。……[3]{FH 261.3}
从心出发-第249章
The answer of Elijah was, “Go back again: for what have I done to thee?” This was not a repulse, but a test. If Elisha’s heart clung to his home and its advantages, he was at liberty to remain there. But Elisha was prepared to hear the call of God....{FH 261.3}[3]
从心出发-第249章
如果伊莱沙询问以利亚所期望于他的是什么,他的工作是什么,他就必得到回答说:上帝知道;祂必指示你。如果你等候耶和华,祂必回答你的每一个问题。你若有了上帝已经呼召你的证据,你就跟我来吧。若是没有,就别来。不要仅仅因为我叫了你就来。你自己务要知道有上帝作你的后盾,而且你所听到的乃是祂的声音。你若能把万事看作粪土,为要得着基督,就来吧。……[4]{FH 261.4}
从心出发-第249章
Had Elisha asked Elijah what was expected of him, what would be his work, he would have been answered, God knows; He will make it known to you. If you wait upon the Lord, He will answer your every question. You may come with me if you have evidence that God has called you; if not, forbear. Come not simply because I have called you. Know for yourself that God stands back of you, and that it is His voice you hear. If you can count everything but dross that you may win Christ, come....{FH 261.4}[4]
从心出发-第249章
以利亚对伊莱沙的呼召与基督对那个青年官长的命令相似。那个官长受命要放弃一切——家宅、田产、朋友、财富、舒适和安逸——还要跟从耶稣。……但对于基督的呼召,问题来了,我们准备好前进了吗?我们愿意吗?我们要象摩西一样看为基督受的凌辱比埃及的财物更宝贵吗?[5]{FH 261.5}
从心出发-第249章
The call of Elijah [to Elisha] was similar to the commission of Christ to the young ruler. The ruler was commanded to leave all—houses, lands, friends, riches, comforts, and ease—and follow Jesus.... But with the call of Christ comes the question, Are we ready to advance? Are we willing? Shall we, like Moses, cheerfully deem the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt?{FH 261.5}[5]
从心出发-第249章
主不会接受半心半意的侍奉。唯有喜爱遵行上帝旨意的人,才能进行完全的侍奉。……如果我们不断高兴地追求认识主,就会知道“祂出现确如晨光”(何6:3)。我们若已决定顺从基督,就要响应祂的呼召:“若有人要跟从我,就当舍己,背起他的十字架来跟从我”(可8:34)。……[6]{FH 261.6}
从心出发-第249章
The Lord will not accept halfhearted service. Those alone who love to do the will of God can do perfect service.... If we follow on to know the Lord, willingly, gladly, we shall know that “his going forth is prepared as the morning.” If we have decided to obey Christ, we shall respond to His call, “If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.” ...{FH 261.6}[6]
从心出发-第249章
上帝的工作是一个完美的整体。……重要的是,为基督作工的人要在每一个工作部门有主同在。凡所做的,都应做得准确迅速,经得起检查。应该用心工作。——《青年导报》,1898年4月21日。[7]{FH 261.7}
从心出发-第249章
The work of God is a perfect whole, ... and it is important that the worker for Christ shall take his Master with him in every department of labor. Whatever is done should be done with an exactness and dispatch that will bear inspection. The heart should be in the work.—Youth’s Instructor, April 21, 1898.{FH 261.7}[7]
