奋斗与勇敢-第216章
(王上19:19-21)
“爱父母过于爱我的,不配作我的门徒,爱儿女过于爱我的,不配作我的门徒,不背着十字架跟从我的,也不配作我的门徒”(太10:37,38)。{CC 221.1}[1]

1 Kings 19:19-21[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第216章
当以利亚蒙上帝指示去寻找一个继承人的时候,他经过以利沙耕田的地方,就把自己那一件象征献身的外衣搭在这个青年人的肩上。……在他看来,这就是上帝呼召他继承以利亚工作的记号。……以利沙必须计算代价,──自行决定接受或拒绝这呼召。如果他依恋家庭和家庭的利益,他尽可以留在家里。但以利沙明白这呼召的意义。……他没有因任何属世的利益而错过作上帝使者的机会,或牺牲与上帝仆人同工的特权。……以利沙毫不迟疑地离开他温暖的家庭,而在先知飘泊无定的生活中服侍他。(PK219,220){CC 221.2}[2]

He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me is not worthy of me. Matthew 10:37, 38. {CC 221.1}[2]

许多人因为没有直接参加宗教工作,就觉得自己的人生没有效用,以为自己在推进上帝国度的事业上没有什么贡献。……但他们既然只能作一些小事,就认为自己可以什么事都不作了。他们这种看法是错误的。一个人在从事日常的本分──如砍树、锄地、犁田——时,也可以积极参加上帝的工作。母亲为基督训练儿女,这种工作实际上象牧师在讲台上一样是为上帝工作。{CC 221.3}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第216章
As Elijah, divinely directed in seeking a successor, passed the field in which Elisha was plowing, he cast upon the young man’s shoulders the mantle of consecration.... To him it was the signal that God had called him to be the successor of Elijah.... Elisha must count the cost—decide for himself to accept or reject the call. If his desires clung to his home and its advantages, he was at liberty to remain there. But Elisha understood the meaning of the call.... Not for any worldly advantage would he forgo the opportunity of becoming God’s messenger, or sacrifice the privilege of association with His servant.... Without hesitation he left a home where he was beloved, to attend the prophet in his uncertain life.3 {CC 221.2}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第216章
许多人渴望上帝赐以特别的才能,以便从事一种非常的工作。他们却忽略了种种摆在面前的本分。殊不知履行这些本分就可以使他们的人生芬芳华美。……成功并不完全在于才干;却在于努力和乐意的服务。那能使我们作可蒙悦纳之服务的,并不在于我们具有卓越的才能;而在于谨慎履行日常的本分、知足的精神,以及真诚恳挚地关心别人的利益。真正优美的品格可从卑微的生活中培养出来。最平凡的工作,若能凭着爱心和忠心去进行,在上帝看来都是佳美的。(PK219){CC 221.4}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第216章
Because they are not connected with some directly religious work, many feel that their lives are useless, that they are doing nothing for the advancement of God’s kingdom.... Because they can serve only in little things, they think themselves justified in doing nothing. In this they err. A man may be in the active service of God while engaged in the ordinary, everyday duties—while felling trees, clearing the ground, or following the plow. The mother who trains her children for Christ is as truly working for God as is the minister in the pulpit. {CC 221.3}[4]
