奋斗与勇敢-第127章
(士15:)
“他必起首拯救以色列人脱离非利士人的手”(士13:5)。{CC 132.1}[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第127章
Judges 15[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第127章
上帝要藉着参孙“起首拯救以色列人脱离非利士人的手”的应许毕竟实现了;但是这一个本可使上帝得颂赞,使祖国得光荣的参孙,不料留下了何等黯淡悲惨的人生史。如果他能忠于上帝的呼召,则上帝的旨意得以完成,而他个人也可以得到荣耀与尊贵。可惜他向试探屈服,不忠于委托,他的使命固然完成,但他个人的结局却是失败,监禁和死亡。{CC 132.2}[2]

He shall begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistines. Judges 13:5. {CC 132.1}[2]
奋斗与勇敢-第127章
就体力来说,参孙乃是地上极强壮的人;但在自治,忠贞和坚稳上,他却是人间最软弱的人。许多人误以为情感的强烈表明性格的刚强;但实在说来,一个被情感所左右的人乃是一个弱者。人的真正伟大,不在于那些控制他的,乃在于他所能控制的情感的力量。{CC 132.3}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第127章
God’s promise that through Samson He would “begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistines” was fulfilled; but how dark and terrible the record of that life which might have been a praise to God and a glory to the nation! Had Samson been true to his divine calling, the purpose of God could have been accomplished in his honor and exaltation. But he yielded to temptation and proved untrue to his trust, and his mission was fulfilled in defeat, bondage, and death. {CC 132.2}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第127章
上帝曾眷顾参孙,使他可以准备完成他蒙召完成的工作。从他人生的开始,他就满得上帝的眷爱,赋有身体的力量,心智的活力和道德的纯洁。可惜他在恶同伴的影响之下放弃了人类惟一的保障,就是对于上帝的信赖;他就被邪恶的潮流冲去了。凡在尽本分的路上遭遇试炼的人都可以确信上帝必保守他们;但是人若故意置身于试探的威胁之下,他们早晚必要跌倒。{CC 132.4}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第127章
Physically, Samson was the strongest man upon the earth; but in self-control, integrity, and firmness, he was one of the weakest of men. Many mistake strong passions for a strong character, but the truth is that he who is mastered by his passions is a weak man. The real greatness of the man is measured by the power of the feelings that he controls, not by those that control him. {CC 132.3}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第127章
上帝所要用为从事特别工作的人,撒但要用他最大的力量去引诱他们迷失正路。他尽力攻击我们的弱点,并利用我们品格上的缺点来控制我们的全身;而且他知道,只要有这些缺点存在,他是一定能成功的。但是没有什么人是必须被他所胜的。人不必单靠自己微薄的努力去战胜邪恶的权势。帮助就在眼前,凡愿意得帮助的,就必得着。那些在雅各所看到的梯子上“上去下来”的圣天使,必能帮助每一个愿意攀登到高天之上的人。(PP567,568){CC 132.5}[5]
奋斗与勇敢-第127章
God’s providential care had been over Samson, that he might be prepared to accomplish the work which he was called to do. At the very outset of life he was surrounded with favorable conditions for physical strength, intellectual vigor, and moral purity. But under the influence of wicked associates he let go that hold upon God which is man’s only safeguard, and he was swept away by the tide of evil. Those who in the way of duty are brought into trial may be sure that God will preserve them; but if men willfully place themselves under the power of temptation, they will fall, sooner or later. {CC 132.4}[5]
