高举主耶稣-第54章
“祂用云遮天。为地降雨,使草生长在山上。祂赐食给走兽,和啼叫的小乌鸦”(诗147:8,9)。{LHU67.1}
高举主耶稣-第54章
He covers the sky with clouds; he supplies the earth with rain and makes grass grow on the hills. He provides food for the cattle and for the young ravens when they call.Psalm 147:8, 9, NIV.{LHU 67.1}[1]
高举主耶稣-第54章
应当将圣经置于儿童和青少年教育的首位,其次便是大自然的课本了。上帝创造的万物,彰显祂的慈爱和权能。祂创造了世界和其中一切所有的。上帝是爱美的,在祂为我们所布置的世界中,祂不仅赐给我们一切所需之物,使我们安舒,而且使天地间充满了美丽。我们从秋天丰收的田园中,看见祂的慈爱和恩眷;从和煦的阳光中,看见祂的笑容。祂创造了坚固的磐石和巍峨的群山。参天的树木,按照祂的命令生长。祂在地上铺盖绿色的绒毯,而用灌木丛和百花点缀其间。{LHU67.2}
高举主耶稣-第54章
While the Bible should hold the first place in the education of children and youth, the book of nature is next in importance. God’s created works testify to His love and power. He has called the world into being, with all that it contains. God is a lover of the beautiful; and in the world which He has fitted up for us He has not only given us everything necessary for our comfort, but He has filled the heavens and the earth with beauty. We see His love and care in the rich fields of autumn, and His smile in the glad sunshine. His hand has made the castle-like rocks and the towering mountains. The lofty trees grow at His command; He has spread earth’s green velvet carpet and dotted it with shrubs and flowers.{LHU 67.2}[2]
高举主耶稣-第54章
为什么祂给大地和树木,披上常绿的色彩,而不是幽黑深沉的褐色呢?岂不是为了葱翠悦目吗?当我们从祂创造的奇迹中,看到祂智慧和慈爱的明证时,我们心中怎不满溢感激之情?{LHU67.3}
高举主耶稣-第54章
Why has He clothed the earth and trees with living green, instead of with dark, somber brown? Is it not that they may be more pleasing to the eye? And shall not our hearts be filled with gratitude as we read the evidences of His wisdom and love in the wonders of His creation?{LHU 67.3}[3]
高举主耶稣-第54章
那创造世界的大能,如今仍在托住宇宙,维持自然界的秩序。上帝亲手引导行星在穹苍中,按着指定的轨道运行。地球年复一年地环绕着太阳运转,提供丰富的出产,并不是出于它自己的能力。上帝用祂的话管理节令。祂用云遮天,为地降雨,使河谷生产,“使草生长在山上”(诗147:8)。植物繁茂、树叶青葱、百花盛开:都是出于祂的大能。{LHU67.4}
高举主耶稣-第54章
The same creative energy that brought the world into existence is still exerted in upholding the universe and continuing the operations of nature. The hand of God guides the planets in their orderly march through the heavens. It is not because of inherent power that year by year the earth continues her motion round the sun and produces her bounties. The word of God controls the elements. He covers the heavens with clouds and prepares rain for the earth. He makes the valleys fruitful and “grass to grow upon the mountains” (Psalm 147:8). It is through His power that vegetation flourishes, that the leaves appear and the flowers bloom.{LHU 67.4}[4]
高举主耶稣-第54章
整个自然界都是用来解释属灵事物的。当初亚当和夏娃在伊甸园中时,自然界对于他们,充满了认识上帝的知识和神圣的教训。在他们留意倾听的耳朵听来,大自然乃是智慧的声音。他们既听见智慧的声音,就存记在心;因为他们借着上帝创造的万物与祂交通。当这对圣洁的夫妇干犯了至高者的律法之后,来自上帝面上的荣光就从地面上撤去了。自然界如今已被罪所败坏。但上帝赋予自然万物的教训,并没有消失。即使是在今日,只要我们正确地加以研究和理解,大自然仍在讲说着她的创造主。……儿童和青少年,各年级的学生,都需要来自这个泉源的教训。自然本身的美,就会引导人心脱离罪恶和世界的吸引,倾向纯洁、平安与上帝。(CT.185,186).{LHU67.5}
高举主耶稣-第54章
The whole natural world is designed to be an interpreter of the things of God. To Adam and Eve in their Eden home, nature was full of the knowledge of God, teeming with divine instruction. To their attentive ears it was vocal with the voice of wisdom. Wisdom spoke to the eye and was received into the heart, for they communed with God in His created works. As soon as the holy pair transgressed the law of the Most High, the brightness from the face of God departed from the face of nature. Nature is now marred and defiled by sin. But God’s object lessons are not obliterated; even now, rightly studied and interpreted, she speaks of her Creator.... The children and youth, all classes of students, need the lessons to be derived from this source. In itself the beauty of nature leads the soul away from sin and worldly attractions, and toward purity, peace, and God. (Counsels to Parents, Teachers, and Students, 185, 186).{LHU 67.5}[5]
