奋斗与勇敢-第312章
(太26:14-16,47-49;27:3-8)
“当下十二个门徒里,有一个称为加略人犹大的,去见祭司长,说:我把祂交给你们,你们愿意给我多少钱?他们就给了他三十块钱”(太26:14,15)。{CC 317.1}[1]

Matthew 26:14-16; Matthew 26:47-49; Matthew 27:3-8[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第312章
犹大是贪财成性的,但他并不是生来就腐败以致能作出这样的事。只因他放纵贪婪的恶欲,直到这恶欲成了支配他整个生活的动机。他爱钱财胜于爱基督。他因为作了罪恶的奴隶,就把自己献给撒但。……{CC 317.2}[2]

Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests, and said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver. Matthew 26:14, 15. {CC 317.1}[2]

犹大为众门徒所重视,所以他在他们中间有很大的影响。他以自己的资格自负,并认为弟兄们在判断和能力方面是远不如他的。他认为他们既没有认明自己的机会,又没有利用环境。教会若是用这些浅见的人作领袖,是决不会兴旺的。彼得是急躁成性,草率从事的人。约翰把基督口中所出的真理储藏在心里,却被犹大看为拙于理财的人。马太曾受过训练,在一切事上务求正确,但在诚实方面却过于拘谨。他经常在沉思默想基督的话,而且全神贯注于这些话。犹大就认为他不能受托作机警和需要有远见的事务。犹大就是这样把众门徒概括评定一番,并夸耀自己,以为教会若没有他理事的才干,就必要时常陷入困难窘迫的景况之中。(DA716,717){CC 317.3}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第312章
Judas had naturally a strong love for money; but he had not always been corrupt enough to do such a deed as this. He had fostered the evil spirit of avarice until it had become the ruling motive of his life. The love of mammon overbalanced his love for Christ. Through becoming the slave of one vice he gave himself to Satan.... {CC 317.2}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第312章
犹大的历史说明一个原可蒙上帝尊重,而结局却是悲惨的人生。假使犹大在末次去耶路撒冷之先去世,他就会被看为配列在十二使徒之中,而为人所怀念不已。若没有他生活史上最后显出的品性,他就不至于声名狼藉,遗臭万年了。但是他的品格显露在世人面前是有用意的。这乃是要作为一个鉴戒,来警告一切像他那样背弃神圣委托的人。……他为了三十块银钱——一个奴仆的身价——出卖了荣耀的主,让祂受侮辱,被处死。(DA716){CC 317.4}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第312章
Judas was highly regarded by the disciples, and had great influence over them. He himself had a high opinion of his own qualifications, and looked upon his brethren as greatly inferior to him in judgment and ability. They did not see their opportunities, he thought, and take advantage of circumstances. The church would never prosper with such shortsighted men as leaders. Peter was impetuous; he would move without consideration. John, who was treasuring up the truths that fell from Christ’s lips, was looked upon by Judas as a poor financier. Matthew, whose training had taught him accuracy in all things, was very particular in regard to honesty, and he was ever contemplating the words of Christ, and became so absorbed in them that, as Judas thought, he could not be trusted to do sharp, farseeing business. Thus Judas summed up all the disciples, and flattered himself that the church would often be brought into perplexity and embarrassment if it were not for his ability as a manager.10 {CC 317.3}[4]
