从心出发-第252章
Joseph, God’s Unwavering Witness, September 9
从心出发-第252章
“约瑟住在他主人埃及人的家中,耶和华与他同在,他就百事顺利”(创39:2)。[1]{FH 264.1}
从心出发-第252章
The Lord was with Joseph, and he was a successful man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.Genesis 39:2.{FH 264.1}[1]
从心出发-第252章
上帝定意藉着约瑟,将圣经的宗教传给埃及人。这个忠心的见证人要在君王的宫廷中将基督彰显出来。约瑟在年轻时,上帝便藉着异梦与他交通,告知他要蒙召承担一份崇高的职责。约瑟的弟兄们为阻止异梦的实现,便将他当作奴仆贱卖了。但他们残忍的作为,正是导致化异梦为事实的途径。[2]{FH 264.2}
从心出发-第252章
It was God’s design that through Joseph, Bible religion should be introduced among the Egyptians. This faithful witness was to represent Christ in the court of kings. Through dreams God communicated with Joseph in his youth, giving him an intimation of the high position he would be called to fill. The brothers of Joseph, to prevent the fulfillment of his dreams, sold him as a slave, but their cruel act resulted in bringing about the very thing the dreams had foretold.{FH 264.2}[2]
从心出发-第252章
那些企图避开上帝的宗旨和反抗祂旨意的人,可能一时看似成功;但上帝定意要成全祂的宗旨,显明谁是天地的主宰。[3]{FH 264.3}
从心出发-第252章
Those who seek to turn aside the purpose of God and oppose His will may appear for a time to prosper; but God is at work to fulfill His own purposes, and He will make manifest who is the ruler of the heavens and the earth.{FH 264.3}[3]
从心出发-第252章
约瑟将自己的被卖视为临到他身上的最大灾难;但他看出有依靠上帝的必要,因为以往在父亲的爱护之下,他从未曾这么做过。约瑟将上帝带进埃及地,这可从他在忧伤中所表露的愉悦风度看出。……上帝的旨意是要那些敬爱和尊荣祂圣名的人,也要同样得着尊崇,因他们而归于上帝的荣耀,也将反映在他们身上。[4]{FH 264.4}
从心出发-第252章
Joseph regarded his being sold into Egypt as the greatest calamity that could have befallen him, but he saw the necessity of trusting in God as he had never done when protected by his father’s love. Joseph brought God with him into Egypt, and the fact was made apparent by his cheerful demeanor amid his sorrow.... It is God’s purpose that those who love and honor His name shall be honored also themselves, and that the glory given to God through them shall be reflected upon themselves.{FH 264.4}[4]
从心出发-第252章
约瑟的品格并不因他被赋予重任而改变。他被安置在适当的位置,以便他的美德,藉着他的好行为,放射出清晰的光辉。不论在家或在工作的场所,上帝的福惠跟随着他。波提乏将所有的家务,完全交托给他。他在所有的事上都表现忠贞不移的原则,因为他喜爱和敬畏上帝。[5]{FH 264.5}
从心出发-第252章
Joseph’s character did not change when he was exalted to a position of trust. He was brought where his virtue would shine in distinct light in good works. The blessing of God rested upon him in the house and in the field. All the responsibilities of Potiphar’s house were placed upon him. And in all this he manifested steadfast integrity, for he loved and feared God.{FH 264.5}[5]
从心出发-第252章
他既被安置在有学识的人中,就获得了文科和理科的知识。这是他的训练学校,使他在刚成年的时候就有资格作埃及的宰相。他学到了担任将来的重责所不可缺少的东西。他搜集有机会学到的一切智慧知识和机智,而这可真不少。可是他的心却对上帝坚定不移。人的知识和神的智慧结合了起来,使他成为一线亮光,在异教信仰浓重的黑暗中反照公义日头的明亮光辉,使人看到希伯来人的宗教与拜偶像之埃及人的宗教仪式和习惯性质完全不同。——《青年导报》,1897年3月11日。[6]{FH 264.6}
从心出发-第252章
Placed as he was in the society of learned men, he gained a knowledge of science and language. This was his training school, that in early manhood he might become qualified to be prime minister of Egypt. He learned those things that would be essential in his future position of trust. He gathered all the wisdom and knowledge and tact that his opportunities presented, and these were not few. Yet his heart was steadfast with God. Human knowledge and divine wisdom were combined, that he should be a shining light, reflecting the bright beams of the Sun of Righteousness amid the gross darkness of heathenism. Here the religion of the Hebrew was seen to be of an altogether different character from the religious rites and customs of the idolatrous Egyptians.—Youth’s Instructor, March 11, 1897.{FH 264.6}[6]
