得胜的基督-第177章
“主啊,求你侧耳听你仆人的祈祷,和喜爱敬畏你名众仆人的祈祷,使你仆人现今亨通,在王面前蒙恩”(尼1:11)。{CTr 182.1}[1]
得胜的基督-第177章
Let now thine ear be attentive to the prayer of thy servant, and to the prayer of thy servants, who desire to fear thy name: and prosper, I pray thee, thy servant this day, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man.Nehemiah 1:11.{CTr 182.1}[1]
得胜的基督-第177章
尼希米是一个被掳的希伯来人。他在波斯国的朝廷中担任崇高的职务。他作为国王的酒政,能时常侍立在王面前。由于这种密切关系和他自己非凡的才干,以及受过考验的忠诚,他成为王的谋士。他是具有高尚原则,不屈的正直和聪明睿智的人。{CTr 182.2}[2]
得胜的基督-第177章
Nehemiah, the Hebrew exile, occupied a position of influence and honor in the Persian court. As cupbearer of the king, he was admitted to the royal presence, and by virtue of this intimacy and his own high abilities and tried fidelity, he became the monarch’s counselor. He was a man of high principle, unbending integrity, and great sagacity.{CTr 182.2}[2]
得胜的基督-第177章
尼希米在异邦之地,身处王宫的富丽堂皇之中,并没有忘记他祖先的上帝和他奉命保管上帝圣言的同胞。他高贵的地位,没有使他丧失虔诚和对同胞的爱。……他不以与他们和真理的关系为耻。他觉得必须在任何地方尊荣真理。他并不因自己的信仰有异于波斯宫廷中的其它人而感到不安。……{CTr 182.3}[3]
得胜的基督-第177章
In that heathen land, surrounded by royal pomp and splendor, Nehemiah did not forget the God of his fathers or the people who had been entrusted with the holy oracles. The dignity of his position did not rob him of his piety or his love for his brethren.... He was not ashamed to own his relationship to them and to the truth. He felt that he must honor the truth in all places. He did not make apology for holding a faith distinct from the faith of those in the Persian court....{CTr 182.3}[3]
得胜的基督-第177章
特殊试炼和磨炼的日子临到那蒙拣选的城。来自犹大的使者向尼希米描述了当地的状况。第二圣殿已经建成,部分城市已经重建,但它的发展受到了阻碍。圣殿的崇祀受到干扰。百姓提心吊胆,因为城墙依然破败,城门被火烧毁。犹大的首府快成为荒芜之地。留下的少数居民,常常受到拜偶像之邻居的奚落,苦不堪言:“你们的上帝在那里?”{CTr 182.4}[4]
得胜的基督-第177章
Days of peculiar trial and affliction had come to the chosen city. Messengers from Judah described to Nehemiah its condition. The second temple had been reared, and portions of the city rebuilt, but its prosperity was impeded, the temple service disturbed, and the people kept in constant alarm by the fact that its walls were still in ruins and its gates burned with fire. The capital of Judah was fast becoming a desolate place, and the few inhabitants remaining were deeply embittered by the taunts of their idolatrous assailants, “Where is your God?”{CTr 182.4}[4]
得胜的基督-第177章
听到坏消息,这位希伯来先祖悲痛万分。他很难过,不吃不喝,“坐下哭泣,悲哀几日……禁食。”但他第一阵悲伤过去之后,就将自己的痛苦交给那位大能的帮助者。圣经说他“在天上的上帝面前……祈祷。”他将心中的重担交给上帝。他知道临到以色列的苦难是因为她犯罪。于是他深深谦卑地来到上帝面前祈求上帝赦罪和重新悦纳。他诚实地承认自己和他同胞的罪。{CTr 182.5}[5]
得胜的基督-第177章
The soul of the Hebrew patriot was overwhelmed by these evil tidings. So great was his sorrow that he could not eat or drink; he “wept, and mourned certain days, and fasted.” But when the first outburst of his grief was over, he turned in his affliction to the sure Helper. The record says that he “prayed before the God of heaven.” He unburdened his heart to God. He knew that the affliction that had come upon Israel was the result of her transgression, and with deep humiliation he came before God to ask for pardon and a renewal of the divine favor. Faithfully he makes confession of his sins and the sins of his people.{CTr 182.5}[5]
得胜的基督-第177章
尼希米凭着信心把握上帝的应许,在天上施恩的宝座前恳求上帝维护祂悔改之子民的事业,恢复他们的力量,重建荒废的地方。(Manuscript 1903.58){CTr 182.6}[6]
得胜的基督-第177章
Taking hold by faith of the divine promise, Nehemiah lays down at the footstool of heavenly mercy his petition that God would maintain the cause of his penitent people, restore their strength, and build up their waste places.—Manuscript 58, 1903.{CTr 182.6}[6]
