Power of God, Not Self, October 30
高举主耶稣-第304章
“因为知道我所信的是谁,也深信祂能保全我所交付祂的”(提后1:12)。{LHU317.1}
高举主耶稣-第304章
I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him. 2 Timothy 1:12. {LHU 317.1}
高举主耶稣-第304章
对于一些看见他(保罗)殉道的人,他那饶恕杀害他之人的精神和始终依靠基督而毫不动摇的信心就成了“活的香气”叫他们活。……{LHU317.2}
高举主耶稣-第304章
To some who witnessed [Paul’s] martyrdom, his spirit of forgiveness toward his murderers and his unwavering confidence in Christ till the last, proved a savor of life unto life.... {LHU 317.2}
高举主耶稣-第304章
保罗的一生直到最后一刻还在见证他过去向哥林多人所讲的道乃是真理:“那吩咐光从黑暗里照出来的上帝,已经照在我们心里,叫我们得知上帝荣耀的光显在耶稣基督的面上。我们有这宝贝放在瓦器里,要显明这莫大的能力,是出于上帝,不是出于我们。我们四面受敌,却不被困住;心里作难,却不至失望;遭逼迫,却不被丢弃;打倒了,却不至死亡。身上常带着耶稣的死,使耶稣的生也显明在我们身上”(林后4:6-10)。他所以能经得起这些事,并不是在于自己,乃是由于圣灵充满他的心,与他同在,使他所有的心意都顺服基督的旨意。先知说:“坚心依赖祢的,祢必保守他十分平安,因为他依靠祢”(赛26:3)。保罗脸上所表显的天赐平安吸引了许多人信从福音。{LHU317.3}
高举主耶稣-第304章
Until his latest hour the life of Paul testified to the truth of his words to the Corinthians: “God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body” (2 Corinthians 4:6-10). His sufficiency was not in himself, but in the presence and agency of the divine Spirit that filled his soul and brought every thought into subjection to the will of Christ. The prophet declares, “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee” (Isaiah 26:3). The heaven-born peace expressed on Paul’s countenance won many a soul to the gospel. {LHU 317.3}
高举主耶稣-第304章
保罗身上常带着上天的气氛。凡与他接近的人都感受到他那与基督联合,与天使交往的影响。他自己的生活为他所传的真理作见证,这就使他所传讲的道具有感服人心的能力。真理的能力就在于此。圣洁的生活自然而然,不知不觉地发出影响,乃是为基督教所能作最有力的见证。辩论纵然极其有理,甚至叫人无言可答,却只能惹起人的反对;而一个敬虔的榜样却有一种不能抵抗的力量。……他再三述说上帝对于为义受逼迫之人所发的宝贵应许,设法坚固并鼓励那几个陪他到刑场的基督徒。他断言,上帝所说一切有关他受苦而忠心之儿女的话,没有一句会落空的。……不久,试炼和痛苦的黑夜必要过去,和平快乐的曙光和正午的辉煌将要来到。{LHU317.4}
高举主耶稣-第304章
Paul carried with him the atmosphere of heaven. All who associated with him felt the influence of his union with Christ. The fact that his own life exemplified the truth he proclaimed gave convincing power to his preaching. Here lies the power of truth. The unstudied, unconscious influence of a holy life is the most convincing sermon that can be given in favor of Christianity. Argument, even when unanswerable, may provoke only opposition; but a godly example has a power that is impossible wholly to resist.... The few Christians who accompanied him to the place of execution he endeavored to strengthen and encourage by repeating the promises given for those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake. He assured them that nothing would fail of all that the Lord had spoken concerning His tried and faithful children.... Soon the night of trial and suffering would end, and then would dawn the glad morning of peace and perfect day. {LHU 317.4}

这时,保罗仰望着那伟大的将来,没有一点犹疑,也没有一点畏惧,只有喜乐的盼望和热切的期待。……{LHU317.5}
高举主耶稣-第304章
The apostle was looking into the great beyond, not with uncertainty or dread, but with joyous hope and longing expectation.... {LHU 317.5}
高举主耶稣-第304章
保罗既被基督的牺牲所救赎,从基督的宝血得洁净,披上基督的公义,他就有确实的把握,知道自己的生命在救赎主眼中看为宝贵。(AA..510-512).{LHU317.6}
高举主耶稣-第304章
Ransomed by the sacrifice of Christ, washed from sin in His blood, and clothed in His righteousness, Paul has the witness in himself that his soul is precious in the sight of his Redeemer (The Acts of the Apostles, 510-512). {LHU 317.6}
