奋斗与勇敢-第42章
(创13:1-13)
“你我不可相争,你的牧人和我的牧人也不可相争,因为我们是骨肉。遍地不都在你眼前吗?请你离开我,你向左,我就向右;你向右,我就向左”(创13:8,9)。{CC 47.1}[1]

Genesis 13:1-13[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第42章
亚伯拉罕回到迦南,“金,银,牲畜极多。”罗得仍与他同在。他们又来到伯特利,在从前所筑的祭坛旁边支搭了帐棚。不久,他们发现随着财物的增多,困难也增多了。过去在患难和试炼之中,他们曾和睦同居。但如今在昌盛繁荣之中,他们倒有了纷争的危险。那地的牧场容不下他们两家的牛群和羊群。……很明显地,他们必须分开了。亚伯拉罕比罗得年长,在辈分、财富和地位上都比他高;然而他却首先提出保持和睦的计划。虽然上帝亲自将全地都赐给他,他却谦逊地让出了这个权利。……{CC 47.2}[2]
奋斗与勇敢-第42章
Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we be brethren. Is not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if thou will take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if thou depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left. Genesis 13:8, 9. {CC 47.1}[2]

亚伯拉罕高贵无私的精神在此就显明了。多少人在这同样的环境之下会不顾一切地维护他们个人的权益啊!多少家庭因而离散!多少教会因而分裂,以至福音的工作成了笑柄,在恶人之中受了羞辱!亚伯拉罕说:“你我不可相争,”“因我们是骨肉。”不但是因为有亲属的关系,也因为我们同是敬拜真神的人。上帝在全世界的儿女都属于一个大家庭,应当具有这同样仁爱和睦的精神。我们的救主教训说:“爱弟兄,要彼此亲热,恭敬人,要彼此推让”(罗12:10)。我们若能养成始终如一的礼貌,乐意善待他人,正如我们希望别人对待我们一样,那么,人生的痛苦大半都可以免掉了。自高的精神乃是撒但的精神。但是人心里若存有基督的爱,就必“不求自己的益处”(林前13:5)。这样的人必要留心听上帝的劝戒:“各人不要单顾自己的事,也要顾别人的事”(腓2:4)。(PP132){CC 47.3}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第42章
Abraham returned to Canaan “very rich in cattle, in silver and in gold.” Lot was still with him and again they came to Bethel, and pitched their tents by the altar which they had before erected. They soon found that increased possessions brought increased trouble. In the midst of hardships and trials they had dwelt together in harmony, but in their prosperity there was danger of strife between them. The pasturage was not sufficient for the flocks and herds of both.... It was evident that they must separate. Abraham was Lot’s senior in years, and his superior in relation, in wealth and in position; yet he was the first to propose plans for preserving peace. Although the whole land had been given him by God Himself, he courteously waived his right.... {CC 47.2}[3]
