The Great Atonement, November 6
高举主耶稣-第311章
“除祂以外,别无拯救;因为在天下人间,没有赐下别的名,我们可以靠着得救”(徒4:12)。{LHU324.1}
高举主耶稣-第311章
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Acts 4:12. {LHU 324.1}
高举主耶稣-第311章
亚当在没有犯罪之时,曾与造他的主面对面谈话;但罪使他与上帝之间有了隔阂。惟有基督的救赎才能跨过这个隔离的深渊,将天上的救恩与福气赐给世人。虽然如此,世人仍不得与上帝直接亲近,上帝却要藉着基督和天使与世人来往。{LHU324.2}
高举主耶稣-第311章
Adam, in his innocence, had enjoyed open communion with his Maker; but sin brought separation between God and man, and the atonement of Christ alone could span the abyss and make possible the communication of blessing or salvation from heaven to earth. Man was still cut off from direct approach to his Creator, but God would communicate with him through Christ and angels. {LHU 324.2}
高举主耶稣-第311章
这样,上帝便向亚当启示了人类史上重要的大事,从祂在伊甸园中宣布判语的时候起,到洪水时代并一直到上帝的儿子第一次显现的日子为止。亚当又蒙指示,虽然基督的牺牲足以拯救全世界,但许多人宁愿在罪中生活,而不肯悔改顺从。罪要一代一代地增多,所以罪的咒诅也要越来越重地压在人类、牲畜和全地之上。人类的寿命要因他自己犯罪的行为而缩短。他的身材和体力,以及心智和道德的力量也都要退化,直到全世界充满了各样的灾祸和痛苦。人类因了放纵食欲和情欲,就不能领略救赎计划的伟大真理。然而基督既忠于祂离开天庭的宗旨,就要不断地关心人类的利益,并要邀请他们把他们的软弱和缺点隐藏在祂里面。凡凭着信心来到祂面前来的人,祂都要供给他们的需要。在各世代中,总必有少数的人保守认识上帝的知识,并要在罪孽的洪流中保持自己的纯洁。{LHU324.3}
高举主耶稣-第311章
Thus were revealed to Adam important events in the history of mankind, from the time when the divine sentence was pronounced in Eden, to the Flood, and onward to the first advent of the Son of God. He was shown that while the sacrifice of Christ would be of sufficient value to save the whole world, many would choose a life of sin rather than of repentance and obedience. Crime would increase through successive generations, and the curse of sin would rest more and more heavily upon the human race, upon the beasts, and upon the earth. The days of man would be shortened by his own course of sin; he would deteriorate in physical stature and endurance and in moral and intellectual power, until the world would be filled with misery of every type. Through the indulgence of appetite and passion men would become incapable of appreciating the great truths of the plan of redemption. Yet Christ, true to the purpose for which He left heaven, would continue His interest in men, and still invite them to hide their weakness and deficiencies in Him. He would supply the needs of all who would come unto Him in faith. And there would ever be a few who would preserve the knowledge of God and would remain unsullied amid the prevailing iniquity. {LHU 324.3}
高举主耶稣-第311章
上帝制定献祭的礼节,为要经常提醒人类,使他不至于忘记自己是罪人,并使他痛悔承认自己的罪,藉以表示他对于所应许之救赎主的信心。这些礼节是要在堕落的人类心中留下深刻的印象,使他们永远不忘记死亡是罪恶的结果这一严肃的真理。第一次的献祭对于亚当确是一个最痛苦的礼节。他必须举手杀害那惟独上帝所能赐予的性命。这是他第一次看见死亡,而且他知道如果他顺服了上帝,人或牲畜就不必死了。当他宰杀那无辜的祭牲时,他想起他的罪必使上帝无瑕疵的羔羊流血,不禁心中战栗不已。……而且他一想起上帝愿意付出这样的赎价来拯救犯罪的人,就对于祂无限的良善大为惊奇。于是有一颗希望的明星照亮那可怕的将来,并使其中消沉的空气稍有减退。……{LHU324.4}
高举主耶稣-第311章
The sacrificial offerings were ordained by God to be to man a perpetual reminder and a penitential acknowledgment of his sin and a confession of his faith in the promised Redeemer. They were intended to impress upon the fallen race the solemn truth that it was sin that caused death. To Adam, the offering of the first sacrifice was a most painful ceremony. His hand must be raised to take life, which only God could give. It was the first time he had ever witnessed death, and he knew that had he been obedient to God, there would have been no death of man or beast. As he slew the innocent victim, he trembled at the thought that his sin must shed the blood of the spotless Lamb of God.... And he marveled at the infinite goodness that would give such a ransom to save the guilty. A star of hope illumined the dark and terrible future and relieved it of its utter desolation.... {LHU 324.4}

基督为拯救人类而死,这一件事不单要使世人得与上天接近,而也要在全宇宙之前证明上帝和祂的儿子对于撒但背叛的处理是公正的。(PP.57-69).{LHU324.5}
高举主耶稣-第311章
The act of Christ in dying for the salvation of man would not only make heaven accessible to men, but before all the universe it would justify God and His Son in their dealing with the rebellion of Satan (Patriarchs and Prophets, 57-69). {LHU 324.5}
