奋斗与勇敢-第344章
（西4:7-14）
“不要爱世界和世界上的事，人若爱世界，爱父的心就不在他里面了”（约壹2:15）。{CC 349.1}[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第344章
Colossians 4:7-14[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第344章
保罗的助手中有许多是他从前的同伴和同工。……“亲爱的医生路加”这时仍与他同在。……底马和马可也和他同在。……{CC 349.2}[2]
奋斗与勇敢-第344章
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 1 John 2:15. {CC 349.1}[2]
奋斗与勇敢-第344章
马可自从早年承认信仰以来，他的基督徒经验已经加深了。当他更仔细地研究基督的生和死时，他就对于救主的使命及其辛劳与斗争，得到更清楚的见解了。他在基督手脚的钉痕上看出祂为人类服务的标记，以及祂为拯救丧亡的人类所有舍己的程度。马可就甘愿跟从救主走在自我牺牲的路上。如今他既与被囚的保罗同甘共苦，他就比从前更加明白“得着基督”乃是至宝；得着世界而丧失基督宝血所救赎的生命乃是无限的损失。马可在严酷的试炼和苦难之下，仍然坚定不移，作保罗聪明可爱的助手。{CC 349.3}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第344章
Among Paul’s assistants at Rome were many of his former companions and fellow workers. Luke, “the beloved physician,” ... was with him still.... Demas and Mark were also with him.... {CC 349.2}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第344章
底马虽然一时坚定不移，后来却放弃了基督的圣工。保罗提到这事，写道：“底马贪爱现今的世界，就离弃我”（提后4:10）。底马竟拿一切真有价值的事来换取属世的利益。作这种交易的人是何等不智，目光是何等短浅啊！底马纵然拥有属世的财富和尊荣，他实在是贫穷的，不管他夸自己有多少财产；马可既甘愿为基督受苦，他就拥有永恒的财富。上天要算他为上帝的后嗣，并与上帝的儿子“同作后嗣”。（AA454，455）{CC 349.4}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第344章
Since the earlier years of his profession of faith, Mark’s Christian experience had deepened. As he had studied more closely the life and death of Christ he had obtained clearer views of the Saviour’s mission, its toils and conflicts. Reading in the scars in Christ’s hands and feet the marks of His service for humanity, and the length to which self-abnegation leads to save the lost and perishing, Mark had become willing to follow the Master in the path of self-sacrifice. Now, sharing the lot of Paul the prisoner, he understood better than ever before that it is infinite gain to win Christ, infinite loss to win the world and lose the soul for whose redemption the blood of Christ was shed. In the face of severe trial and adversity, Mark continued steadfast, a wise and beloved helper of the apostle. {CC 349.3}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第344章
如果我们多思考基督和天国，就必在为主作战时获得有力的鼓舞和支持。当我们默想那即将成为我们家乡之美地的荣耀时，骄傲和爱世界的心就丧失其势力了。除了基督的荣美之外，一切属世的吸引力，皆显得毫无价值。（SL91）{CC 349.5}[5]
奋斗与勇敢-第344章
Demas, steadfast for a time, afterward forsook the cause of Christ. In referring to this, Paul wrote, “Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world” (2 Timothy 4:10). For worldly gain, Demas bartered every high and noble consideration. How shortsighted the exchange! Possessing only worldly wealth or honor, Demas was poor indeed, however much he might proudly call his own; while Mark, choosing to suffer for Christ’s sake, possessed eternal riches, being accounted in heaven an heir of God and a joint heir with His Son.18 {CC 349.4}[5]
