That Last Night, February 16
奋斗与勇敢-第48章
(创19:12-29)
“又判定所多玛,蛾摩拉,将二城倾覆,焚烧成灰,作为后世不敬虔人的鉴戒”(彼后2:6)。{CC 53.1}[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第48章
Genesis 19:12-29[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第48章
那烧灭平原诸城的火焰放出它警告的光芒,直到今日。我们可以从此学得一个可怕而严肃的教训,就是:上帝的怜爱固然长久地容忍罪人,可是有一个限度是罪人所不能越过的。一到这个限度,上帝的恩典就要收回,而执行刑罚的工作就要开始了。{CC 53.2}[2]
奋斗与勇敢-第48章
And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly. 2 Peter 2:6. {CC 53.1}[2]
奋斗与勇敢-第48章
世人的救赎主说明有一些罪比使所多玛和蛾摩拉遭毁灭的罪更大。那些听见福音的邀请呼召罪人悔改而不加以留意的人,在上帝面前比西订谷的居民更为有罪。还有比这更大的罪,就是那些自称认识上帝并遵守祂诫命的人,却在他们的品格和日常生活上否认基督。照救主的警告看来,所多玛的厄运乃是一个严肃的劝诫,不单涉及公开犯罪的人,而也涉及那些轻视天赐之亮光和特权之人的。(PP162-165){CC 53.3}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第48章
The flames that consumed the cities of the plain shed their warning light down even to our time. We are taught the fearful and solemn lesson that while God’s mercy bears long with the transgressor, there is a limit beyond which men may not go on in sin. When that limit is reached, then the offers of mercy are withdrawn, and the ministration of judgment begins. {CC 53.2}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第48章
上帝的刑罚快要倾降地上。上帝使者的警告乃是:“逃命吧”(创19:17)!但是另一方面也有声音说:“不要大惊小怪吧,没有什么事故值得特别警惕的。”当天上宣告毁灭快要临到犯罪的人时,那些在锡安城中饱享安逸的人却喊说“平安稳妥。”青年人,轻浮的人,贪爱宴乐的人,都把这些警告当作无稽之谈而一笑置之。父母们也倾向于以为儿女们对这事的看法是对的,因此大家都安然酣睡。古代所多玛蛾摩拉二城遭火毁灭之时,情形就是如此。在降火毁灭的前夕,这平原上的城市,正在狂欢纵乐着。罗得因为担忧而发出警告,竟被人讥诮。但后来被烈火灭亡的,却正是这些讥诮者。当夜那怜悯之门就向所多玛犯罪作恶无法无天的居民永远关闭了。(5T233){CC 53.4}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第48章
The Redeemer of the world declares that there are greater sins than that for which Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed. Those who hear the gospel invitation calling sinners to repentance, and heed it not, are more guilty before God than were the dwellers in the vale of Siddim. And still greater sin is theirs who profess to know God and to keep His commandments, yet who deny Christ in their character and their daily life. In the light of the Saviour’s warning, the fate of Sodom is a solemn admonition ... to all who are trifling with Heaven-sent light and privileges.34 {CC 53.3}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第48章
那警告罗得离开所多玛的声音,今日也吩咐我们:“务要从他们中间出来,……不要沾不洁净的物”(林后6:17)。凡听从这警告的人必找到避难之所。(2SM354){CC 53.5}[5]
奋斗与勇敢-第48章
The judgments of God are soon to be poured out upon the earth. “Escape for thy life” is the warning from the angels of God. Other voices are heard saying: “Do not become excited; there is no cause for special alarm.” Those who are at ease in Zion cry “Peace and safety,” while heaven declares that swift destruction is about to come upon the transgressor. The young, the frivolous, the pleasure loving, consider these warnings as idle tales and turn from them with a jest. Parents are inclined to think their children about right in the matter, and all sleep on at ease. Thus it was at the destruction of the old world and when Sodom and Gomorrah were consumed by fire. On the night prior to their destruction the cities of the plain rioted in pleasure. Lot was derided for his fears and warnings. But it was these scoffers that perished in the flames. That very night the door of mercy was forever closed to the wicked, careless inhabitants of Sodom.35 {CC 53.4}[5]
