“殷勤不可懒惰,要心里火热,常常服事主”(罗12:11)。[1]{FH 360.1}
从心出发-第348章
Not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord.Romans 12:11.{FH 360.1}[1]
从心出发-第348章
每一个上帝真儿女现在都有责任耐心等待,警醒守侯,忠心工作,直到主来,为这件严肃的大事做好准备。耶稣基督里的完全人、基督真门徒的特征,会表现在工作,警醒和等候主之中。他们不会专心致志,全神贯注于忙碌的工作,而忽略个人敬虔的操练。但是在一个均衡的基督徒身上,个人的虔诚是与热心的工作是结合在一起的。基督的门徒务必“殷勤不可懒惰,要心里火热,常常服事主”(罗12:11)。他们要剔净点亮灯火,好发出明亮的光芒,照入世界道德的黑暗。……[2]{FH 360.2}
从心出发-第348章
The present duty of every true child of God is to wait patiently, to watch vigilantly, to work faithfully, until the coming of the Lord, that we may be prepared for the solemn event. The characteristics of the true follower of Christ, the perfect man and woman in Christ Jesus, will be manifested in working, watching, and waiting for the Lord. They will not be wholly given up to contemplation and meditation or be so engrossed in some busy works that they will neglect the exercise of personal piety; but in the symmetrical Christian, personal devotion will be blended with earnest work, and the followers of Christ will be “not slothful in business” but “fervent in spirit; serving the Lord.” The lamps must be kept trimmed and burning, that they may send forth bright rays of light into the moral darkness of the world....{FH 360.2}[2]

主很快就要来了。因此我们需要建立学校,不是为了接受世界的教育,而是让我们的学校更象先知的学校,好在其中学习上帝的旨意,达到各门学科的颠峰,更好地理解上帝和祂的作为,以及祂所差来之耶稣基督的品格。……上帝的子民应该获得越来越多的经验。因为每一个人将肩负更多的工作,特别是那些处于负责地位的人。我们接近末日之时,撒但将竭尽所能摧毁凡质疑他统治世界之权威的人。上帝的子民必须为斗争作好准备。上帝要求我们充分运用祂赐给人的一切才干,尽自己先天和后天的一切能力。……基督的门徒违背神圣的委托,离开自己的岗位,必然危害到他们自己灵魂和他人灵魂的得救。你务要忠于所托付给你的责任,不要喜新猎奇。[3]{FH 360.3}
从心出发-第348章
The Lord is soon coming, and for this very reason we need our schools, not that we may be educated after the order of the world, but that our institutions of learning may be more like the schools of the prophets—places where we may learn the will of God and reach to the very highest branches of science, that we may better understand God and His works and the character of Jesus Christ whom He has sent.... The people of God must be gaining more and more skill and experience; for there will be increased work for all, and especially for those in positions of trust. As we near the end, Satan will be moved to make a desperate effort to overthrow all those who dispute his claim to supreme authority on earth, and the people of God must be prepared for the struggle. God requires the full exercise of all the ability He has given to men and women, that they may do to the extent of their natural and cultivated powers all that is possible for them to do.... The followers of Christ cannot leave their posts of duty without betraying sacred trusts, without endangering the salvation of their own souls and the souls of others. You are to be true to your entrusted work and not to be seeking after something new and strange.{FH 360.3}[3]
从心出发-第348章
当基督向门徒展示需要完成的大工,应许他们圣灵的恩赐时,他们急于想知道是否能看见他们夙愿的实现。他们问道:“主啊,祢复兴以色列国,就在这时候吗”?主责备他们的好奇心说:“父凭着自己的权柄、所定的时候日期、不是你们可以知道的”(徒1:6,7)。——《总会公报》1896年第四季,764页[4]{FH 360.4}
从心出发-第348章
As Christ opened before the disciples the great work that was to be done, and promised to them the gift of the Holy Spirit, they were anxious to know if they should then see the fulfillment of their long-cherished hope. They asked, “Wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?” The Lord rebuked their curiosity and said, “It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.”—General Conference Bulletin, fourth quarter 1896, p. 764.{FH 360.4}[4]
