The Value of Souls Versus One’s Reputation, June 14
得胜的基督-第167章
“你起来往尼尼微大城去,向其中的居民呼喊,因为他们的恶达到我面前”(拿1:2)。{CTr 172.1}[1]
得胜的基督-第167章
Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me.Jonah 1:2.{CTr 172.1}[1]
得胜的基督-第167章
当尼尼微人在上帝面前自卑并呼求祂怜悯时,祂垂听了他们的呼求。“于是上帝察看他们的行为,见他们离开恶道,他就后悔,不把所说的灾祸降与他们了”(拿3:10)。{CTr 172.2}[2]
得胜的基督-第167章
When the people of Nineveh humbled themselves before God, and cried to Him for mercy, He heard their cry. “God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.”{CTr 172.2}[2]
得胜的基督-第167章
但约拿却显出自己并不重视那个邪恶城市中的人。他重视自己的名誉,惟恐他们会说他是一个假先知。……当约拿看到主运用祂慈悲的品性,饶恕了那个曾在祂面前败坏了自己行为的城,他并不与上帝仁慈的计划合作。他并不考虑尼尼微人的利益。那么一大批人必须灭亡并不使他感到忧伤,他们一直没有受教要行义。请听他的抱怨: {CTr 172.3}[3]
得胜的基督-第167章
But Jonah revealed that he did not value the souls in that wretched city. He valued his reputation, lest they should say he was a false prophet.... Now when he sees the Lord exercise His compassionate attributes and spare the city that had corrupted its ways before Him, Jonah does not co-operate with God in His merciful design. He has not the people’s interests in view. It does not grieve him that so large a number must perish who have not been educated to do right. Listen to his complaint:{CTr 172.3}[3]
得胜的基督-第167章
“耶和华啊,现在求祢取我的命吧!因为我死了比活着还好。耶和华说:你这样发怒合乎理吗?于是约拿出城,坐在城的东边,在那里为自己搭了一座棚,坐在棚的荫下,要看看那城究竟如何。耶和华上帝安排一棵蓖麻,使其发生高过约拿,影儿遮盖他的头,救他脱离苦楚;约拿因这棵蓖麻大大喜乐”(拿4:3-6)。{CTr 172.4}[4]
得胜的基督-第167章
“Therefore now, O Lord, take, I beseech thee, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live. Then said the Lord, Doest thou well to be angry? So Jonah went out of the city, and sat on the east side of the city, and there made him a booth, and sat under it in the shadow, till he might see what would become of the city. And the Lord prepared a gourd, and made it to come up over Jonah, that it might be a shadow over his head, to deliver him from his grief. So Jonah was exceeding glad of the gourd.”{CTr 172.4}[4]
得胜的基督-第167章
于是上帝给约拿一项实例的教训。第二天早上太阳升起的时候,祂安排一条虫子咬这蓖麻,以致枯槁。“日头出来的时候,上帝安排炎热的东风,日头曝晒约拿的头,使他发昏,他就为自己求死,说:我死了比活着还好!……耶和华说:这蓖麻不是你栽种的,也不是你培养的;一夜发生,一夜干死,你尚且爱惜;何况这尼尼微大城,其中不能分辨左手右手的有十二万多人,并有许多牲畜,我岂能不爱惜呢”(拿4:8-11)? {CTr 172.5}[5]
得胜的基督-第167章
Then the Lord gave Jonah an object lesson. He “prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day, and it smote the gourd that it withered. And it came to pass, when the sun did arise, that God prepared a vehement east wind; and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah, that he fainted, and wished in himself to die, and said, It is better for me to die than to live.” ... “Then said the Lord, Thou hast had pity on the gourd, for the which thou hast not laboured, neither madest it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night: And should I not spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much cattle?”{CTr 172.5}[5]
得胜的基督-第167章
在尼尼微的历史中,有一个教训你们应该仔细研究。……你们必须知道你们对同胞的责任,他们无知、污秽,需要你们的帮助。(Manuscript 1897.164){CTr 172.6}[6]
得胜的基督-第167章
In the history of Nineveh there is a lesson that you should study carefully.... You must know your duty to your fellow beings who are ignorant and defiled, and who need your help.—Manuscript 164, 1897.{CTr 172.6}[6]
