开朗的宗教-第50章

  “耶稣受了洗，随即从水里上来。天忽然为祂开了，祂就看见上帝的灵彷佛鸽子降下，落在祂身上。从天上有声音说：“这是我的爱子，我所喜悦的”(太3:16,17)。[1]

  Jesus, when He was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon Him: and lo a voice from heaven saying, This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.Matthew 3:16, 17.{RRe 51.1}[1]

  那在约旦河边对耶稣所说的话——“这是我的爱子，我所喜悦的”──是包括全人类在内的。上帝乃是以耶稣为我们的代表向祂说了这话。我们虽有种种的罪恶和弱点，上帝并没有把我们当作废物撇在一边。祂使我们“在爱子里得蒙悦纳”（弗1:6）。降在基督身上的荣光，乃是上帝爱我们的保证，使我们知道祈祷的力量──人的声音怎样能达到上帝耳中，我们的恳求怎样能蒙天庭的应允。因了罪，地与天已经割断，绝了交通。但耶稣使地球与辉煌的天庭重新联接起来。祂的爱环绕了人，并达到最高的天庭。当我们祈求帮助以抵挡试探时，那从敞开着的天门照在我们救主身上的光辉也必照在我们身上。那曾对耶稣说话的声音也向每一个相信的人说：“这是我的爱子，我所喜悦的。”（DA 113）[2]

开朗的宗教-第50章

  The word that was spoken to Jesus at the Jordan, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased,” embraces humanity. God spoke to Jesus as our representative. With all our sins and weaknesses we are not cast aside as worthless. “He hath made us accepted in the Beloved.” The glory that rested upon Christ is a pledge of the love of God for us. It tells us of the power of prayer,—how the human voice may reach the ear of God, and our petitions find acceptance in the courts of heaven. By sin, earth was cut off from heaven, and alienated from its communion; but Jesus has connected it again with the sphere of glory. His love has encircled man, and reached the highest heaven. The light which fell from the open portals upon the head of our Saviour, will fall upon us as we pray for help to resist temptation. The voice which spoke to Jesus says to every believing soul, “This is My beloved child, in whom I am well pleased.”—The Desire of Ages, 113.{RRe 51.2}[2]
