The Prophets’ Examples Encourage Me, April 8
开朗的宗教-第99章
“弟兄们,你们要把那先前奉主名说话的众先知当作能受苦能忍耐的榜样。那先前忍耐的人,我们称他们是有福的。你们听见过约伯的忍耐,也知道主给他的结局,明显主是满心怜悯,大有慈悲”(雅5:10,11)。[1]

Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience. Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.James 5:10, 11.{RRe 100.1}[1]

忍耐和勇敢同样是可以得到胜利的。在试炼下的温柔和在工作上的勇气,一样可以领人归向基督。基督徒在被弃和受苦之下所表现忍耐和愉快的精神,甚至于以平安和镇定的精神应付死亡,来表示毫不动摇之信心,这样为福音所成就的事可能比他终生忠心工作的成就更大。往往当上帝的仆人退出工作岗位时,我们短小的眼光不明白其中的奥秘,反要为之悲哀,而上帝的旨意却要藉此成就一番其他方法所决不能成就的工作。(AA 465)[2]

Patience as well as courage has its victories. By meekness under trial, no less than by boldness in enterprise, souls may be won to Christ. The Christian who manifests patience and cheerfulness under bereavement and suffering, who meets even death itself with the peace and calmness of an unwavering faith, may accomplish for the gospel more than he could have effected by a long life of faithful labor. Often when the servant of God is withdrawn from active duty, the mysterious providence which our short-sighted vision would lament, is designed by God to accomplish a work that otherwise would never have been done.—The Acts of the Apostles, 465.{RRe 100.2}[2]

基督徒的品格不是因脱离试炼,而是在试炼之中发展起来的。挫折和反对使基督的门徒更加儆醒,更加恳切祈求大能的帮助者。靠着上帝的恩典而忍受强烈的试炼,就可以发展忍耐,警诫,刚毅等美德,并令人深切恒久地信靠上帝。基督徒信仰的胜利在于其能使信从的人虽然受苦,却能刚强;虽然受屈,却能得胜;虽然天天冒死,却能活着;并因背十宇架而最终获得荣耀的冠冕。(AA 467)[3]
开朗的宗教-第99章
Not in freedom from trial, but in the midst of it, is Christian character developed. Exposure to rebuffs and opposition leads the follower of Christ to greater watchfulness, and more earnest prayer to the mighty Helper. Severe trial endured by the grace of God develops patience, vigilance, fortitude, and a deep and abiding trust in God. It is the triumph of the Christian faith that it enables its follower to suffer and be strong; to submit, and thus to conquer; to be killed all the day long, and yet to live; to bear the cross, and thus to win the crown of glory.—The Acts of the Apostles, 467.{RRe 100.3}[3]
