得胜的基督-第70章
“亚伯拉罕近前来,说:‘无论善恶,你都要剿灭吗’”(创18:23)?{CTr 75.1}[1]
得胜的基督-第70章
And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked??Genesis 18:23.{CTr 75.1}[1]
得胜的基督-第70章
圣经告诉我们,亚伯拉罕走近天使问道:“无论善恶,你都要剿灭吗?”虽然亚伯拉罕具有每一个上帝儿女都应具备的真正的谦卑感,但他对罪人的灵魂却深为关心。圣经说他走近天使,发出请求,就像一个孩子向父母提出请求。他记得罗得已定居所多玛,因着婚姻而与所多玛人建立了关系。于是亚伯拉罕先提出五十个人的数字。主告诉他会因五十个义人的缘故不毁灭那城;接着亚伯拉罕一再减低数字,直到十个人,主也答应因那十个人的缘故饶过所多玛。亚伯拉罕不再提进一步的要求,只希望城中有十个义人。{CTr 75.2}[2]
得胜的基督-第70章
We are told that Abraham drew near and said: “Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?” While Abraham had a true sense of humility that every child of God should possess, yet he had an intense interest in the souls of sinners. He is represented as drawing near. He steps close to those heavenly messengers and pleads with them as a child would plead with its parents. He remembers that Lot has made his home in Sodom and that Lot has connections all through Sodom by marriage. Therefore Abraham commences at fifty, and the Lord tells him that He will spare it for fifty; then he goes down to ten, and the Lord tells him that He will spare it for ten’s sake. He does not make any further appeal, but he does hope that there will be found ten righteous [persons] in Sodom.{CTr 75.2}[2]
得胜的基督-第70章
但当天使们来到所多玛时,他们在那座极为壮丽的城市中连五个义人也找不到。由此可见,世上最为壮丽的城市,尽管拥有最多的财富,但可能连五个义人也找不出。我们既然在寻求将来的永生,每一样与我们有关的事物,都必须尽可能有利于我们培养基督化的品格。上帝不住地呼吁我们切断一切不圣洁的影响,从其中出来。{CTr 75.3}[3]
得胜的基督-第70章
But when the angels came to Sodom, they could not find even five righteous ones in that splendid city, so we may reason that there may be the most splendid cities, having the greatest wealth, and yet there may not be found five righteous in them. As we are seeking for the future immortal life, every one of us should have everything connected with us as favorable as we can make it for the development of Christian character. God frequently calls us to break every tie that binds us to unholy influences and to come out from among them.{CTr 75.3}[3]
得胜的基督-第70章
在这里,亚伯拉罕成为一名上帝的代表。他的历史延续到我们今天。亚伯拉罕对所多玛的关心和牵挂带给我们一个教训:我们要深切地关怀周围的人。我们虽然要恨恶罪,但要爱基督代死的罪人。我们应当由衷地感谢上帝,因为有一位主正在天上为我们代求。{CTr 75.4}[4]
得胜的基督-第70章
Here Abraham stands as one who is a representative for God, and his history is brought down along the line to our time. Abraham’s interest and anxiety for Sodom is a lesson to us that we should have an intense interest for those around us. Although we should hate the sin, we should love the souls of those for whom Christ died. And then we should feel most grateful to God that we have One who is pleading in the heavens above in our behalf.{CTr 75.4}[4]
得胜的基督-第70章
耶稣知道每一个灵魂的价值,因为祂为每一个人付上代价。祂在十字架的痛苦中还为祂的仇敌祷告:“父啊!赦免他们;因为他们所做的,他们不晓得。”祂在这时像亚伯拉罕那样为罪人代求。我们也应该为黑暗中的人献上恳切的祷告。(Manuscript 1886.19){CTr 75.5}[5]
得胜的基督-第70章
Jesus knows the worth of every soul because it is He who paid the price for everyone. When He was in His agony at the crucifixion, He prayed there for His enemies and He said, “Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.” And here, as we see in the case of Abraham, He pleads for the guilty as one person pleads for another. We should [offer] that [same] earnest prayer for those who are in darkness.—Manuscript 19, 1886.{CTr 75.5}[5]
