奋斗与勇敢-第287章

John 3:1-21[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第287章
尼哥底母听了这句话又惊奇又生气。他认为自己不但是一个知识分子,还是一个虔诚的宗教人士。……这种悔改的道理与他所理解的宗教很难协调。他无法满意地解释悔改的科学。但是耶稣却用一个比喻告诉他,这是他任何严谨的方法所无法解释的。耶稣向他指出:他看不见风,却能识别风的动作。他可能无法解释悔改的过程,但他却能看到悔改的果效。风随着意思吹,他既听见风的响声,又能看出它行动的结果。但那运行的能力却是眼睛能不见的。……最有学问的人也无法解释圣灵在人心灵和品格上的运行。但他们却能看见在生活和行为上的果效。……{CC 292.2}[2]

Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. John 3:5. {CC 292.1}[2]

他不愿承认真理,因为他无法明白与上帝的能力运行有关的事。他虽然不能解释或洞悉自然界的运作,却接受它们存在的事实。他和各世代其他的人一样,注重遵守宗教的礼节和烦琐的仪式,过于上帝之灵的深切感化。(RH.1896.5.5){CC 292.3}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第287章
Nicodemus was astonished as well as indignant at these words. He regarded himself as not only an intellectual, but a pious and religious man.... He could not harmonize this doctrine of conversion with his understanding of what constituted religion. He could not explain to his own satisfaction the science of conversion; but Jesus showed him, by a figure, that it could not be explained by any of his precise methods. Jesus pointed out to him the fact that he could not see the wind, yet he could discern its action. He might never be able to explain the process of conversion, but he would be able to discern its effect. He heard the sound of the wind which bloweth where it listeth, and he could see the result of its action. The operating agency was not revealed to view.... No human reasoning of the most learned man can define the operations of the Holy Spirit upon human minds and characters; yet they can see the effects upon the life and actions.... {CC 292.2}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第287章
我们可能象尼哥底母一样,自以为行为正直,品格端方,不必象一般罪人那样在上帝面前自卑。但当基督的光照入我们的内心时,我们就会看出自己是怎多么污秽,认识到自私的动机和对上帝的敌意,是如何玷污了我们生括的一举一动。这样,我们就明白自己的义确实如污秽的衣服。只有基督的血才能洗净罪污,按照祂自己的形像更新我们的心。(SC28){CC 292.4}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第287章
He was not willing to admit truth, because he could not understand all that was connected with the operation of the power of God; and yet he accepted the facts of nature, although he could not explain or even comprehend them. Like other men of all ages, he was looking to forms and precise ceremonies as more essential to religion than the deep movings of the Spirit of God.21 {CC 292.3}[4]
