黎明的灵修-第134章
The Repentance of Jacob, May 14
黎明的灵修-第134章
“与天使较力并且得胜,哭泣恳求,在伯特利遇见耶和华;耶和华万军之上帝在那里晓谕我们以色列人;耶和华是他可记念的名”(何12:4,5)。[1]
黎明的灵修-第134章
Men of Old Repent
Yea, he had power over the angel, and prevailed: he wept, and made supplication unto him: he found him in Bethel, and there he spake with us; even the Lord God of hosts; the Lord is his memorial.Hosea 12:4, 5.{WGD 136.1}[1]
黎明的灵修-第134章
雅各“与天使较力并且得胜”(何12:4)。藉着自卑,痛悔和投诚,这个有罪并犯错的人竟胜了天上的君王。他曾用战抖的手紧紧地握住上帝的应许,而无穷慈爱的主总不忍拒绝罪人的恳求。……[2]
黎明的灵修-第134章
Jacob “had power over the Angel, and prevailed.” Through humiliation, repentance, and self-surrender, this sinful, erring mortal prevailed with the Majesty of heaven. He had fastened his trembling grasp upon the promises of God, and the heart of Infinite Love could not turn away the sinner’s plea.—?Patriarchs and Prophets, 197.{WGD 136.2}[2]
黎明的灵修-第134章
然而雅各的历史说明上帝决不会丢弃那些一度陷在罪中,而后来藉着真诚的悔改归向祂的人。雅各曾因投诚并笃信上帝而得到他原想靠自己的力量所不能得到的胜利。上帝这样教训祂的仆人,使他知道惟有藉着上帝的权能和恩典,他才能得到所渴望的福分。那些住在末世代的人也要如此。当危险环绕着他们,绝望压在他们心灵上的时候,他们必须单单依靠救赎的大功。我们靠自己不能作什么。在我们软弱不配的景况中,我们必须依靠被钉死和复活之救主的功劳。人这样作的时候,就决不至灭亡。我们一切的愆尤过犯都摆列在无穷的主眼前。那记录完全无缺的,我们的罪过没有一件被漏掉的。但那古时垂听祂仆人呼求的主必要答应信心的祈祷而赦免我们的罪过。祂既已应许,就必成就。[3]
黎明的灵修-第134章
Yet Jacob’s history is an assurance that God will not cast off those who have been betrayed into sin, but who have returned unto Him with true repentance. It was by self-surrender and confiding faith that Jacob gained what he had failed to gain by conflict in his own strength. God thus taught His servant that divine power and grace alone could give him the blessing he craved. Thus it will be with those who live in the last days. As dangers surround them, and despair seizes upon the soul, they must depend solely upon the merits of the atonement. We can do nothing of ourselves. In all our helpless unworthiness we must trust in the merits of the crucified and risen Saviour. None will ever perish while they do this. The long, black catalogue of our delinquencies is before the eye of the Infinite. The register is complete; none of our offenses are forgotten. But He who listened to the cries of His servant of old, will hear the prayer of faith, and pardon our transgressions. He has promised, and He will fulfill His word.{WGD 136.3}[3]
黎明的灵修-第134章
雅各之所以得胜,是因了他有恒忍和坚决的心。他的经验说明恒切祷告的力量。现在我们要学习得胜的祷告和不屈的信心的教训。(PP 202、203)[4]
黎明的灵修-第134章
Jacob prevailed because he was persevering and determined. His experience testifies to the power of importunate prayer. It is now that we are to learn this lesson of prevailing prayer, of unyielding faith.—Patriarchs and Prophets, 202, 203.{WGD 136.4}[4]
