Hope and Salvation to the World, August 2
高举主耶稣-第215章
“倚靠耶和华的人好像锡安山,永不动摇。众山怎样围绕耶路撒冷,耶和华也照样围绕祂的百姓,从今时直到永远”(诗125:1,2)。{LHU228.1}
高举主耶稣-第215章
They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever. As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about his people from henceforth even for ever. Psalm 125:1, 2. {LHU 228.1}
高举主耶稣-第215章
那给世界带来希望和救恩的,乃是那意味着羞耻与酷刑的十字架。门徒不过是一班卑微的人,没有财富,又没有势力,所有的唯一武器乃是上帝的道.但他们竟敢靠基督的能力出去宣讲那生在马槽,死在十字架之救主的奇妙故事,并战胜一切反对的势力。他们虽然没有属世的尊荣或名誉,他们却是信心的英雄。从他们的口中竟传出上帝的话,以致震撼了全世界。{LHU228.2}
高举主耶稣-第215章
It was the cross, that instrument of shame and torture, which brought hope and salvation to the world. The disciples were but humble men, without wealth, and with no weapon but the word of God; yet in Christ’s strength they went forth to tell the wonderful story of the manger and the cross, and to triumph over all opposition. Without earthly honor or recognition, they were heroes of faith. From their lips came words of divine eloquence that shook the world. {LHU 228.2}
高举主耶稣-第215章
耶路撒冷居民的宗教偏见最深,而且对于那曾被判为罪犯而钉在十字架上之基督的看法最为模糊。但门徒还继续在那里勇敢地宣讲生命之道,向犹太人说明基督的工作和使命,以及祂的被钉、复活和升天。祭司和官长们惊异地听到使徒所作清楚而勇敢的见证。那复活之救主的能力确已降在门徒身上,而且他们的工作也有神迹奇事为证,以致相信的人逐日增加。在门徒所经过的路上,众人“将病人抬到街上,放在床上或褥子上,指望彼得过来的时候,或者得他影儿照在什么人身上。”那些被污鬼所附的人也被带到这里来了。有成群的人挤在他们四围,凡得到医治的人都大声赞美上帝,并归荣耀给救赎主的圣名。…….{LHU228.3}
高举主耶稣-第215章
In Jerusalem, where the deepest prejudice existed, and where the most confused ideas prevailed in regard to Him who had been crucified as a malefactor, the disciples continued to speak with boldness the words of life, setting before the Jews the work and mission of Christ, His crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension. Priests and rulers heard with amazement the clear, bold testimony of the apostles. The power of the risen Saviour had indeed fallen on the disciples, and their work was accompanied by signs and miracles that daily increased the number of believers. Along the streets where the disciples were to pass, the people laid their sick “on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them.” Here also were brought those vexed with unclean spirits. The crowds gathered round them, and those who were healed shouted the praises of God and glorified the name of the Redeemer.... {LHU 228.3}

到此为止,一切镇压这个新教训的措施都归于徒然;但这时撒都该人和法利赛人下了决心,一定要制止门徒的工作,因为这工作证明他们是杀害耶稣的凶手。于是祭司们愤怒万状,用武力捉拿彼得和约翰,把他们下在监里。……{LHU228.4}
高举主耶稣-第215章
Hitherto all the efforts made to suppress this new teaching had been in vain; but now both Sadducees and Pharisees determined that the work of the disciples should be stopped, for it was proving them guilty of the death of Jesus. Filled with indignation, the priests laid violent hands on Peter and John, and put them in the common prison.... {LHU 228.4}
高举主耶稣-第215章
门徒并没有因这种待遇而被吓倒。……天上的真神,宇宙大能的主宰,……亲自出来干涉门徒被囚的事。耶和华的使者夜间开了监狱的门,对门徒说:“你们去站在殿里,把这生命的道,都讲给百姓听”(徒5:20)。(AA.77-80){LHU228.5}
高举主耶稣-第215章
The disciples were not intimidated or cast down by this treatment.... The God of heaven, the mighty Ruler of the universe, took the matter of the imprisonment of the disciples into His own hands.... By night the angel of the Lord opened the prison doors and said to the disciples, “Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life” (Acts 5:20) (The Acts of the Apostles, 77-80). {LHU 228.5}
高举主耶稣-第215章
在基督被钉之前不久,祂曾把平安留给门徒。祂说:“我留下平安给你们,我将我的平安赐给你们”(约14:27)。……这种平安不是那因迎合世俗而来的平安。基督从来没有因求和平而与罪恶妥协。基督所留给门徒的平安是内在的,不是外表的,而且这平安将要在纷乱和斗争的环境之下一直与祂的见证人同在。(AA.84).{LHU228.6}
高举主耶稣-第215章
Shortly before His crucifixion Christ had bequeathed to His disciples a legacy of peace. “Peace I leave with you,” He said, “my peace I give unto you.” ... This peace is not the peace that comes through conformity to the world. Christ never purchased peace by compromise with evil. The peace that Christ left His disciples is internal rather than external and was ever to remain with His witnesses through strife and contention (The Acts of the Apostles, 84). {LHU 228.6}
