God’s Punishments—Preferable to Those of Mortals? May 25
得胜的基督-第147章
“大卫对迦得说,‘我甚为难。我愿落在耶和华的手里,因为祂有丰盛的怜悯。我不愿落在人的手里’”(撒下24:14)。{CTr 152.2}[1]
得胜的基督-第147章
Then David said to Gad, “I am in great distress: let us fall into the hand of the Lord, for his mercy is great; but let me not fall into human hands.”2 Samuel 24:14, NRSV.{CTr 152.1}[1]
得胜的基督-第147章
大卫清点以色列的人口是对上帝的侮辱。上帝责备了他,因为他视自己为神,似乎他能够藉着清点以色列的人数,判断以色列军队的力量。“这是耶和华指示所罗巴伯的。万军之耶和华说:不是倚靠势力,不是倚靠才能,乃是倚靠我的灵方能成事。”上帝并不倚靠以色列的人数来成就祂的事工。祂天军的数目有千千万万。他们与愿意同上帝联合、成为传光通道的人合作。(Manuscript 1898.17){CTr 152.3}[2]
得胜的基督-第147章
It was an insult to God when David numbered Israel. God’s rebuke rested upon him, for he made himself as God, as though he could tell the strength of the armies of Israel by their numbers. “This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.” God looks not on the numbers of Israel for the success of His work. His armies number thousands of thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand. These cooperate with the people who will connect with God to be channels of light.—Manuscript 17, 1898.{CTr 152.2}[2]
得胜的基督-第147章
有真诚愿望的人发现,上帝不象心肠刚硬的人那样可怕。人不能监察人心,却擅自审判同胞。在痛苦中挣扎的人离开了人的误会和指责,转向那丝毫不会有误解的主。祂知道人心中的一切愿望,熟悉所有试探的详情。上帝知道以往生活的每一行为。考虑到这一点,烦恼的心灵还是甘愿把自己的事托付上帝,因为知道祂是仁慈怜悯的上帝。{CTr 152.4}[3]
得胜的基督-第147章
The soul that is conscious of sincere and honest intentions finds less to fear from God than from people who have hearts of steel. The soul wrenched with human agony turns away from the misjudgment and condemnation of people who cannot read the heart, yet have taken it upon them to judge their associates. He turns to One who is without a shadow of misapprehension, One who knows all the impulses of the heart, who is acquainted with all the circumstances of temptation. God knows every deed of the past life, and yet in consideration of all this, the troubled soul is ready to trust his or her case with God, knowing that He is a God of mercy and compassion.{CTr 152.3}[3]
得胜的基督-第147章
当主让大卫选择他犯罪的惩罚时,他说:“我愿落在耶和华的手里,因为祂有丰盛的怜悯。我不愿落在人的手里”(撒下24:14)。他觉得上帝知道人心的挣扎和痛苦。当人瞥见上帝的品格时,就会看到祂丝毫没有人所表现的无情报复的精神。他看出苦难与试炼是上帝设立的方法,为要训练祂的儿女,教导他们祂的道,使他们能持住祂的恩典。……当可怜退后的人被领到上帝的爱河时,他会喊着说:祂试炼我之后,我必如精金。受苦的人在逆境中,在上帝里面,被塑造成忍耐、可靠、得胜的人。……{CTr 152.5}[4]
得胜的基督-第147章
When David was bidden to choose the punishment for his sin, he said, “Let us fall now into the hand of the Lord; for his mercies are great: and let me not fall into the hand of man.” He felt that God knew the struggle and anguish of the soul. When people are enabled to catch a glimpse of the character of God, they see not in Him the heartless, vindictive spirit manifested by human agents; they see that affliction and trial are God’s appointed means of disciplining His children, and teaching them His way, that they may lay hold of His grace.... As poor backsliding souls are led to the river of God’s love, they exclaim, When He hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold purified. Suffering souls are made patient, trustful, triumphant in God under adverse circumstances....{CTr 152.4}[4]

当有限犯错的人表明看自己比上帝更重要时,当他自以为义,没有表现我们主耶稣生命中柔和的精神时,我们就可以知道,他若不悔改,灯台就必很快从原处挪去。(Manuscript 1895.7;TM. 354-356) {CTr 152.6}[5]
得胜的基督-第147章
When finite, erring human beings give evidence that they regard themselves as of greater importance than God, when they think themselves righteous, yet do not manifest the tenderness of spirit that characterized the life of our Lord Jesus, we may know that unless they repent, the candlestick will quickly be removed out of its place.—Manuscript 7, 1895?(Testimonies to Ministers and Gospel Workers, 354-356).{CTr 152.5}[5]
