奋斗与勇敢-第53章
(创24:)
“耶和华天上的主,曾带领我离开父家和本族的地,对我说话向我起誓,说:我要将这地赐给你的后裔;祂必差遣使者在你面前,你就可以从那里为我儿子娶一个妻子”(创24:7)。{CC 58.1}[1]

Genesis 24[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第53章
以撒曾大蒙上帝尊重,成了使世人得福之应许的承受者。然而当他父亲安排他老练而敬畏上帝的仆人去为他拣选一个妻子时,他虽然已经四十岁,还是顺从他父亲的意思。圣经描述他婚姻的结果,乃是家庭幸福的一幅亲切美丽的景象:“以撒便领利百加住了他母亲撒拉的帐棚,娶了她为妻,并且爱她。以撒从他母亲不在了,这才得了安慰。”{CC 58.2}[2]

The Lord God of heaven, which took me from my father’s house, and from the land of my kindred, and which spake unto me, and that sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land; he shall send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife unto my son from thence. Genesis 24:7. {CC 58.1}[2]

今日的青年,连自称是基督徒的在内,所取的方针与以撒的作风是何等地悬殊啊!青年人往往觉得恋爱完全是个人所要决定的事——这一件事无论是上帝或父母都不应干预。他们还未成年之先,早就认为自己有选择的能力而不必有父母的帮助。……许多人就这样断送了今世的幸福和未来的指望。……{CC 58.3}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第53章
Isaac was highly honored by God in being made inheritor of the promises through which the world was to be blessed; yet when he was forty years of age he submitted to his father’s judgment in appointing his experienced, God-fearing servant to choose a wife for him. And the result of that marriage, as presented in the Scriptures, is a tender and beautiful picture of domestic happiness: “Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah’s tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her: and Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death.” {CC 58.2}[3]

为父母的决不可在那有关儿女将来幸福的事上忽略自己的责任。以撒所以顺服他父亲的意思,乃是因为素常受了父亲的训练,教训他喜爱度顺命的生活。当亚伯拉罕要他儿女尊重父母的权威时,他自己日常的生活证明了这种权威并不是自私或独断的管束,乃是以爱心为基础,并以儿女的利益和幸福为前提的。(PP175){CC 58.4}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第53章
What a contrast between the course of Isaac and that pursued by the youth of our time, even among professed Christians! Young people too often feel that the bestowal of their affections is a matter in which self alone should be consulted—a matter that neither God nor their parents should in any wise control. Long before they have reached manhood or womanhood they think themselves competent to make their own choice, without the aid of their parents.... Many have thus wrecked their happiness in this life and their hope of the life to come.... {CC 58.3}[4]

所以婚姻问题最需要加以慎重考虑,并请教年长和富有经验之人的指导,而且在决定终生大事之前,应当以圣经为顾问,并在祷告中求上帝的引领。(PP175){CC 58.5}[5]
奋斗与勇敢-第53章
Parents should never lose sight of their own responsibility for the future happiness of their children. Isaac’s deference to his father’s judgment was the result of the training that had taught him to live a life of obedience. While Abraham required his children to respect parental authority, his daily life testified that the authority was not a selfish or arbitrary control, but was founded in love, and had their welfare and happiness in view.43 {CC 58.4}[5]
