奋斗与勇敢-第261章
(尼4:)
“我们的上帝必为我们争战”(尼4:20)。{CC 266.1}[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第261章
Nehemiah 4[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第261章
可是重建耶路撒冷城墙的工作,不是没有遇到困难的。撒但一直在努力煽动反对的势力,提出使人灰心的事。……但嗤笑,讥讽,反对和恫吓,只能使尼希米更为坚决、更为警惕。他固然认识到这次与敌人斗争中的危险,但他不灰心,不丧志。他说:“我们祷告我们的上帝,......派人看守,昼夜防备。”……{CC 266.2}[2]
奋斗与勇敢-第261章
Our God shall fight for us. Nehemiah 4:20. {CC 266.1}[2]
奋斗与勇敢-第261章
尼希米身旁常随着一个吹号的人,同时在城垣不同的地方也驻有带着圣所号筒的祭司。百姓在工作时都是散开的;但哪个地方一遇有危险,就有号令使众人都集中在哪里。尼希米说:“于是我们作工,一半拿兵器,从天亮直到星宿出现的时候。”……尼希米和他的同人不因任何困难或艰巨的工作而畏缩。不论昼夜,就是在睡觉的短短时间中,他们都没有脱下衣服或卸下盔甲。{CC 266.3}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第261章
The restoration of the defenses of Jerusalem did not go forward unhindered. Satan was working to stir up opposition, and bring discouragement.... But taunts and ridicule, opposition and threats, seemed only to inspire Nehemiah with firmer determination and to arouse him to greater watchfulness. He recognized the dangers that must be met in this warfare with their enemies, but his courage was undaunted. “We made our prayer unto our God,” he declares, “and set a watch against them day and night.” ... {CC 266.2}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第261章
尼希米时代修建圣城的人,在公开的仇敌和虚伪的朋友手中所遭受的反对和令人灰心的事,预表今日为上帝作工的人所必有的经验。基督徒所受的考验,不但是由于敌人的忿怒、轻视和残酷,而也是由于一些笑里藏刀的友人和助手的冷淡怠惰,言行不符和卖主卖友的行为。……{CC 266.4}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第261章
Beside Nehemiah stood a trumpeter, and on different parts of the wall were stationed priests bearing the sacred trumpets. The people were scattered in their labors; but on the approach of danger at any point, a signal was given for them to repair thither without delay. “So we labored in the work,” Nehemiah says, “and half of them held the spears from the rising of the morning till the stars appeared.” ... Nehemiah and his companions did not shrink from hardship or trying service. Neither by day nor night, not even during the short time given to sleep, did they put off their clothing, or lay aside their armor. {CC 266.3}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第261章
撒但必要利用教会中每一个没有完全献身的人来达成他的目的。在自称是赞助上帝圣工的人中,竟有一些与祂的仇敌联合,藉此使最凶狠敌人可以针对祂圣工的弱点进行攻击。连一些诚心渴望上帝圣工兴旺的人,也会因聆听,传讲并多少相信上帝仇敌所讲谤渎、夸耀和威胁的话,而使祂仆人的手“发软”。……今日信心的答复就是尼希米的答复:“我们的上帝必为我们争战。”圣工既有上帝参加,任何人都无法阻止它的最后成功。(PK641-645){CC 266.5}[5]
奋斗与勇敢-第261章
The opposition and discouragement that the builders in Nehemiah’s day met from open enemies and pretended friends is typical of the experience that those today will have who work for God. Christians are tried, not only by the anger, contempt, and cruelty of enemies, but by the indolence, inconsistency, lukewarmness, and treachery of avowed friends and helpers.... {CC 266.4}[5]
