奋斗与勇敢-第202章
(王上17:8-24)
“我的上帝必照祂荣耀的丰富,在基督耶稣里,使你们一切所需用的都充足”(腓4:19)。{CC 207.1}[1]

1 Kings 17:8-24[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第202章
我们不妨读撒勒法寡妇的故事。上帝派祂的仆人在饥荒之时到外邦去向这位妇人求食物。……这位腓尼基妇女向上帝先知所表现的款待精神,真是何等奇妙,同时她的信心及慷慨,也得了奇妙的报酬。……{CC 207.2}[2]

But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19. {CC 207.1}[2]

上帝并没有改变。祂的能力不减于在以利亚之日。……基督当日对早期门徒所说的话,也同样实用于祂今日之忠心仆人:“人接待你们,就是接待我;接待我,就是接待那差我来的”(太10:40)。凡因祂的名而行的善事,必被承认并得到报酬。基督也把上帝家中最软弱及最低微的人包含在这慈爱的认可之中。祂说:“无论何人,因为门徒的名,只把一杯凉水给这小子里的一个喝,”──指在信仰及认识基督上如小孩的人──“我实在告诉你们,这人不能不得赏赐”(太10:42)。{CC 207.3}[3]

Read the story of the widow of Sarepta. To this woman in a heathen land God sent His servant in time of famine to ask for food.... Wonderful was the hospitality shown to God’s prophet by this Phoenician woman, and wonderfully were her faith and generosity rewarded.... {CC 207.2}[3]

穷困不必拦阻我们表现好客的美德。我们要照自己所有的分赐给人。有许多人为生活而奋斗,收入甚微,难以应付其需要;但他们爱那表现在圣徒身上的耶稣,乐意向信徒及非信徒表示招待,尽力使他们的访问有益处。在餐桌上及家庭礼拜上,处处表示欢迎客人的诚意。所献的祈祷,使那些受招待的客人大受感动,象这样的访问或许只要一次就够救人出死入生了。主赞许这种工作,祂说:“我必报答。”……{CC 207.4}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第202章
God has not changed. His power is no less now than in the days of Elijah.... To His faithful servants today as well as to His first disciples Christ’s words apply: “He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me” (Matthew 10:40). No act of kindness shown in His name will fail to be recognized and rewarded. And in the same tender recognition Christ includes even the feeblest and lowliest of the family of God. “Whosoever shall give to drink,” He says, “unto one of these little ones”—those who are as children in their faith and their knowledge of Christ—“a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward” (Matthew 10:42). {CC 207.3}[4]

“人活着不是单靠食物,”当我们把今生肉体的食物分赐给人之时,也是把希望,勇气,及基督化的爱分赐给人。……同时我们也可得到祂的保证:“上帝能将各样的恩惠多多地加给你们,使你们凡事常常充足,能多行各样的善事”(林后9:8)。(6T345-348){CC 207.5}[5]
奋斗与勇敢-第202章
Poverty need not shut us out from showing hospitality. We are to impart what we have. There are those who struggle for a livelihood and who have great difficulty in making their income meet their necessities; but they love Jesus in the person of His saints and are ready to show hospitality to believers and unbelievers, trying to make their visits profitable. At the family board and the family altar the guests are made welcome. The season of prayer makes its impression on those who receive entertainment, and even one visit may mean the saving of a soul from death. For this work the Lord makes a reckoning, saying: “I will repay.” ... {CC 207.4}[5]
