从心出发-第360章
“你不给我祝福,我就不容你去”(创32:26)。[1]{FH 372.1}
从心出发-第360章
I will not let You go unless You bless me!?Genesis 32:26.{FH 372.1}[1]
从心出发-第360章
我们需要恒切努力,从上帝那里获得力量,在仇敌像洪水一般袭来之时能抵挡他。制服自我是一个痛苦的过程,因为自我放松和自我放纵是最具欺骗性的罪恶,使人良心麻木,悟性蒙蔽。……我们需要有那位恳求不已的寡妇和叙利非尼基妇人那样的迫切愿望——一种不屈不挠的决心。[2]{FH 372.2}
从心出发-第360章
There is need of earnest work, that we may have strength from God to resist the enemy when he shall come in like a flood. We must agonize in order to subdue self; for self-ease and self-indulgence are the most deceptive of sins, stupefying the conscience and blinding the understanding.... We need the earnest desire of the importunate widow and the Syrophenician woman—a determination that will not be repulsed.{FH 372.2}[2]
从心出发-第360章
许多人因没有注意到上帝天意的这个教训而犯下了致命的错误。平安与安息只能通过斗争而获得。光明和黑暗的权势已经列队对峙。我们必须亲自投入战斗。雅各曾整夜与上帝角力,然后才取得胜利。他在恳求上帝的时候,感到有一只强壮的手抓住了他。他以为是仇敌的手,就竭尽全力进行抵挡。他挣扎了几个小时,始终未能战胜他的对手。他不敢片时放松他的努力,惟恐被制胜而丧失性命。……然后,这位陌生人结束了战斗。祂摸一下雅各的大腿,这位摔跤手立时就瘸了。雅各这才认出他对手的真面目。他瘸着腿,伏在祂的颈项上哭泣,求祂救命。[3]{FH 372.3}
从心出发-第360章
Many, very many, are making a fatal mistake by failing to heed this lesson of God’s providence. Peace and rest can be secured only by conflict. The powers of light and darkness are in array, and we must individually take a part in the struggle. Jacob wrestled all night with God before he gained the victory. As he pleaded with God in prayer, he felt a strong hand laid upon him, and thinking it to be the hand of an enemy, he put forth all his strength to resist Him. He wrestled for hours, but gained nothing over his Opponent, and he dared not relax his efforts for one moment, lest he should be overcome and lose his life.... Then the Stranger brought the conflict to a close. He touched the thigh of Jacob, and the wrestler’s strength was paralyzed. It was not until then that Jacob learned who his Opponent really was, and, falling crippled and weeping on His neck, he pleaded for his life.{FH 372.3}[3]
从心出发-第360章
那位“使者”本来可以轻而易举地挣脱雅各的纠缠。但祂没有这么做。祂要求说:“天黎明了,容我去吧!”雅各虽然痛苦,但他意志坚决。他回答说:“你不给我祝福,我就不容你去”(创32:26)。这位恳求者的眼泪和祈祷,为他获得了他的挣扎所得不到的东西。天使问:“你叫什么?”他说“我名叫雅各”,天使说:“你的名不要再叫雅各,而要叫以色列,因为你与上帝与人较力,都得了胜。……于是在那里给雅各祝福”。……[4]{FH 372.4}
从心出发-第360章
The Angel could easily have released Himself from the grasp of Jacob, but He did not do this. “Let me go,” He pleaded, “for the day breaketh.” But the answer came from the suffering but determined Jacob, “I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.” The suppliant’s tears and prayers gained for him what he struggled in vain to obtain. “What is thy name?” the Angel asked. “And he said, Jacob. And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.... And he blessed him there.” ...{FH 372.4}[4]

决心,克己和努力献身,是准备工作所必需的。只有借着认真坚决的努力,信靠耶稣的功劳,我们才能取得胜利,获得天国。我们作工的时间很短。基督不久就要复临。——《青年导报》1900年5月24日[5]{FH 372.5}
从心出发-第360章
Resolution, self-denial, and consecrated effort are required for the work of preparation.... Only by earnest, determined effort and faith in the merits of Christ can we overcome and gain the kingdom of heaven. Our time for work is short. Christ is soon to come the second time.—Youth’s Instructor, May 24, 1900.{FH 372.5}[5]
