奋斗与勇敢-第322章
(约19:38-42)
“有亚利马太人约瑟,是耶稣的门徒,因只怕犹太人,就暗暗的作门徒。他来求彼拉多。要把耶稣的身体领去,彼拉多允准,他就把耶稣的身体领去了,又有尼哥底母,就是先前夜里去见耶稣的,带着没药和沉香,约有一百斤前来”(约19:38,39)。{CC 327.1}[1]

John 19:38-42[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第322章
约瑟和尼哥底母都没有在救主生前公开地接受祂。他们知道这样的举动必使他们被排斥于犹太公会之外,而他们却希望藉着他们的势力,在公会的议会中保护耶稣。他们似乎有了一点成功,但狡猾的祭司们看出他们袒护基督,就阻挠了他们的计划。在他们没有出席的时候,耶稣就被定死罪,并交给人去钉十字架了。如今基督既然已死,他们就不再隐瞒自己对于祂的感情。当门徒不敢公开表示自己是跟从基督的人时,约瑟和尼哥底母却勇敢地前来援助他们。……{CC 327.2}[2]

Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus. And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight. John 19:38, 39. {CC 327.1}[2]

尼哥底母看见耶稣在十字架上被举起来时,就想起那一夜耶稣在橄榄山上所说的话:“摩西在旷野怎样举蛇,人子也必照样被举起来。叫一切信祂的,都得永生”(约3:14、15)。{CC 327.3}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第322章
Neither Joseph nor Nicodemus had openly accepted the Saviour while He was living. They knew that such a step would exclude them from the Sanhedrin, and they hoped to protect Him by their influence in its councils. For a time they had seemed to succeed; but the wily priests, seeing their favor to Christ, had thwarted their plans. In their absence Jesus had been condemned and delivered to be crucified. Now that He was dead, they no longer concealed their attachment to Him. While the disciples feared to show themselves openly as His followers, Joseph and Nicodemus came boldly to their aid.... {CC 327.2}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第322章
当基督躺在坟墓里的那个安息日,尼哥底母就有机会反复思想。现在有一道更清晰的光照耀他的心。耶稣对他所说的话,就不再是神秘的了。他觉得自己在救主生前没有与祂在一起,实在是莫大的损失。于是他回想髑髅地的种种景象。基督为杀害祂的人所作的祷告,以及祂对强盗临死的要求所作的答复,都感动了这位饱学的议员。他再一次看到救主受痛苦时的情形,再一次听见祂像一位胜利者发出最后的喊声“成了”。他再一次看见了震动的地,黑暗的天,裂开的幔子,崩碎的岩石,他的信心就永远坚定了。{CC 327.4}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第322章
Nicodemus, when he saw Jesus lifted up on the cross, remembered His words spoken by night in the Mount of Olives: “As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have eternal life” (John 3:14, 15). {CC 327.3}[4]

那打消众门徒希望的事,正足以使约瑟和尼哥底母确信耶稣的神性。他们坚定不移的信心所生的勇敢,打破了一切的顾虑。(DA775){CC 327.5}[5]
奋斗与勇敢-第322章
On that Sabbath, when Christ lay in the grave, Nicodemus had opportunity for reflection. A clearer light now illuminated his mind, and the words which Jesus had spoken to him were no longer mysterious. He felt that he had lost much by not connecting himself with the Saviour during His life. Now he recalled the events of Calvary. The prayer of Christ for His murderers and His answer to the petition of the dying thief spoke to the heart of the learned councilor. Again he looked upon the Saviour in His agony; again he heard that last cry, “It is finished,” spoken like the words of a conqueror. Again he beheld the reeling earth, the darkened heavens, the rent veil, the shivered rocks, and his faith was forever established. {CC 327.4}[5]
