得胜的基督-第316章
There Are Two Classes Among Christ’s Followers, November 10
得胜的基督-第316章
“那时,天国好比十个童女拿着灯出去迎接新郎。其中有五个是愚拙的,王个是聪明的”(大25:1,2)。{CTr 321.1}[1]
得胜的基督-第316章
Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.Matthew 25:1, 2.{CTr 321.1}[1]
得胜的基督-第316章
在自称为基督徒的人中,向来就有两等人。一等人研究救主的生活,并诚恳地设法改正自己的缺点,以求符合基督的模范;而另一等人,则逃避那暴露他们错误的清楚而实际的真理。即使在最良好的情况下,教会的成员也不完全是真实、纯洁和忠诚的。我们的救主固然教导我们不可让故意放纵罪恶的人加入教会,但祂也使一些在品格上有缺欠的人与自己接近,并以自己的教训和榜样帮助他们,使他们可以有机会看清并改正自己的过错。{CTr 321.2}[2]
得胜的基督-第316章
There have ever been two classes among those who profess to be followers of Christ. While one class study the Saviour’s life and earnestly seek to correct their defects and conform to the Pattern, the other class shun the plain, practical truths that expose their errors. Even in her best estate the church was not composed wholly of the true, pure, and sincere. Our Saviour taught that those who willfully indulge in sin are not to be received into the church; yet He connected with Himself men who were faulty in character, and granted them the benefits of His teachings and example, that they might have an opportunity to see and correct their errors.{CTr 321.2}[2]
得胜的基督-第316章
在十二使徒中有一个是叛徒。犹大之所以被接纳,并不是因为他性格上有缺点,而是因为他虽有缺点,主仍收留他。他与门徒同列,为要让他因基督的指导和榜样而明白什么是基督徒的品格,并藉此看出自己的错误,以致悔改,然后藉上帝恩典的帮助,“因顺从真理”而洁净自己的心。{CTr 321.3}[3]
得胜的基督-第316章
Among the twelve apostles was a traitor. Judas was accepted, not because of his defects of character, but notwithstanding them. He was connected with the disciples that through the instruction and example of Christ he might learn what constitutes Christian character, and thus be led to see his errors, to repent, and, by the aid of divine grace, to purify his soul “in obeying the truth.”{CTr 321.3}[3]
得胜的基督-第316章
主虽然如此慈爱地让真光照在犹大身上,可是犹大却没有行在光中。他因放纵罪性,招引撒但的试探。他品格上的劣点占了优势。他的思想随从了黑暗权势的操纵,在他的过错受到责备时,他就生气了,终于犯下了出卖他夫子的可怕罪行。凡自称敬虔而心怀罪恶的人,必要同样地恨恶那些责备他们罪行而打搅他们安宁的人。他们遇有适当的机会,就要象犹大一样,出卖那些为了他们的好处而责备他们的人。{CTr 321.4}[4]
得胜的基督-第316章
But Judas did not walk in the light so graciously permitted to shine upon him. By indulgence in sin he invited the temptations of Satan. His evil traits of character became predominant. He yielded his mind to the control of the powers of darkness, he became angry when his faults were reproved, and thus he was led to commit the fearful crime of betraying his Master. In like manner do all who cherish evil under a profession of godliness hate those who disturb their peace by condemning their course of sin. When a favorable opportunity is presented, they will, like Judas, betray those who for their good have sought to reprove them.{CTr 321.4}[4]
得胜的基督-第316章
使徒们曾在教会中遇到一些有敬虔外貌而内心却怀藏罪孽的人。亚拿尼亚与撒非喇行了欺骗的事。他们假装为上帝作了完全的奉献,可是因贪心而为自己留下一份。……当试炼和逼迫临到祂的信徒时,惟有那些甘心为真理撇弃一切的人才愿意作祂的门徒。因此,何时逼迫延续不断,教会就比较纯洁。可是逼迫一停止,便有较为不真诚和不敬虔的人加入教会,使撒但得到立足之地。(4SP 44,45){CTr 321.5}[5]
得胜的基督-第316章
The apostles encountered those in the church who professed godliness while they were secretly cherishing iniquity. Ananias and Sapphira acted the part of deceivers, pretending to make an entire sacrifice for God, when they were covetously withholding a portion for themselves.... As trials and persecution came upon His [Christ’s] followers, those only who were willing to forsake all for the truth’s sake desired to become His disciples. Thus, as long as persecution continued, the church remained comparatively pure. But as it ceased, converts were added who were less sincere and devoted, and the way was opened for Satan to obtain a foothold.—The Spirit of Prophecy 4:44, 45.{CTr 321.5}[5]
