“我们爱,因为上帝先爱我们”(约壹4:19)。{CC 315.1}[1]

We love him, because he first loved us. 1 John 4:19. {CC 315.1}[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第310章
约翰与其他使徒有别,他乃是“耶稣所爱的”门徒(约21:20)。……他也多方面得到救主的信任和慈爱。他是蒙准在变像的山上看见基督的荣耀,并在客西马尼园看见祂惨痛的三个门徒之一。当救主在十字架上受苦的最后时辰中,那受托照顾主母亲的,也就是这个约翰。(AA539){CC 315.2}[2]
奋斗与勇敢-第310章
John is distinguished above the other apostles as “the disciple whom Jesus loved” (John 21:20).... He received many tokens of the Saviour’s confidence and love. He was one of the three permitted to witness Christ’s glory upon the mount of transfiguration and His agony in Gethsemane, and it was to his care that our Lord confided His mother in those last hours of anguish upon the cross.6 {CC 315.2}[2]

约翰生性渴慕仁爱、同情与友谊。他贴近耶稣,坐在祂身旁,靠着祂的胸膛。他象一朵花吸收阳光和雨露,领受上帝的亮光和生命。(Ed87){CC 315.3}[3]

John’s was a nature that longed for love, for sympathy and companionship. He pressed close to Jesus, sat by His side, leaned upon His breast. As a flower the sun and dew, so did he drink in the divine light and life.7 {CC 315.3}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第310章
约翰对他夫子热烈的深情,并不是基督爱他的原因,而是基督爱他的结果。约翰渴望与耶稣相似;在基督慈爱改变人心的影响之下,他果然成了一个柔和谦卑的人。自我已经隐藏在耶稣里面了。约翰比一切同伴更能顺服那奇妙生命的大能。……约翰是凭着实验的知识认识救主的。他那夫子的教训铭刻在心。每当他为救主的恩典作见证时,他的言语虽然简单,却带有那充满着他整个身心的爱,是最能感动人的。{CC 315.4}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第310章
The depth and fervor of John’s affection for his Master was not the cause of Christ’s love for him, but the effect of that love. John desired to become like Jesus, and under the transforming influence of the love of Christ he did become meek and lowly. Self was hid in Jesus. Above all his companions, John yielded himself to the power of that wondrous life.... John knew the Saviour by an experimental knowledge. His Master’s lessons were graven on his soul. When he testified of the Saviour’s grace, his simple language was eloquent with the love that pervaded his whole being. {CC 315.4}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第310章
约翰之所以时常愿望贴近基督身旁,乃是因为他深切地爱基督。救主对于十二个门徒都是爱的,但惟有约翰最能感受祂的爱。约翰比其他门徒年轻,所以他更能以孩子般的信靠,敞开心门,爱慕耶稣。这样,他就更能同情基督,而救主最深奥的属灵教训也就藉着他传给众人。……{CC 315.5}[5]
奋斗与勇敢-第310章
It was John’s deep love for Christ which led him always to desire to be close by His side. The Saviour loved all the Twelve, but John’s was the most receptive spirit. He was younger than the others, and with more of the child’s confiding trust he opened his heart to Jesus. Thus he came more into sympathy with Christ, and through him the Saviour’s deepest spiritual teaching was communicated to the people.... {CC 315.5}[5]
奋斗与勇敢-第310章
约翰比其他门徒更能生动地讲论天父的爱。他把自己心灵中所感觉到的爱显示给他的同胞,并在他的品格上表现上帝的特性。……那使他发生改变的圣洁之美,以一种基督化的光芒从他的面容上照耀出来。他以崇拜和敬爱的心瞻仰救主,直至同基督相像;与基督相交成了他唯一的愿望,于是他的品格就反映他夫子的品格。(AA544,545){CC 315.6}[6]
奋斗与勇敢-第310章
John could talk of the Father’s love as no other of the disciples could. He revealed to his fellow men that which he felt in his own soul, representing in his character the attributes of God.... The beauty of holiness which had transformed him shone with a Christlike radiance from his countenance. In adoration and love he beheld the Saviour until likeness to Christ and fellowship with Him became his one desire, and in his character was reflected the character of his Master.8 {CC 315.6}[6]
