黎明的灵修-第140章
“基督耶稣降世,为要拯救罪人,这话是可信的,是十分可佩服的;在罪人中我是个罪魁”(提前1:15)。[1]

Men of Old Repent
Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.1 Timothy 1:15.{WGD 142.1}[1]
黎明的灵修-第140章
当扫罗完全顺从圣灵感服之力时,他就看出自己过去生活的错误,并认明上帝律法广泛的要求。这个一度确信自己因善行称义的骄傲的法利赛人,如今以小孩子般的谦卑和天真跪在上帝面前,承认自己的不配,并恳求一位钉死而复活之救主的功劳。扫罗渴慕与圣父和圣子有完全的和谐与交通;他强烈地切望得到赦免和悦纳,就在施恩的宝座前献上热诚的祈祷。这个悔改的法利赛人所献的祈祷并不是徒然的。他内心深处的思想和感情都被神恩改变了;他那更高尚的品质也得以与上帝永恒的旨意和谐了。……[2]

As Saul yielded himself fully to the convicting power of the Holy Spirit, he saw the mistakes of his life, and recognized the far-reaching claims of the law of God. He who had been a proud Pharisee, confident that he was justified by his good works, now bowed before God with the humility and simplicity of a little child, confessing his own unworthiness, and pleading the merits of a crucified and risen Saviour. Saul longed to come into full harmony and communion with the Father and the Son; and in the intensity of his desire for pardon and acceptance, he offered up fervent supplications to the throne of grace. The prayers of the penitent Pharisee were not in vain. The inmost thoughts and emotions of his heart were transformed by divine grace; and his nobler faculties were brought into harmony with the eternal purposes of God....{WGD 142.2}[2]

扫罗的悔改乃是一个明显的凭据,证明基督使人知罪的奇妙能力。扫罗以前真相信拿撒勒的耶稣曾抹煞上帝的律法,并教训祂的门徒说,律法已经失效了。但在扫罗悔改之后,他认识到耶稣来到世界的目的,乃是维持祂父的律法。他确信耶稣是整个犹太献祭制度的创始者。(AA 120)[3]

The conversion of Saul is a striking evidence of the miraculous power of the Holy Spirit to convict men of sin. He had verily believed that Jesus of Nazareth had disregarded the law of God, and had taught His disciples that it was of no effect. But after his conversion, Saul recognized Jesus as the one who had come into the world for the express purpose of vindicating His Father’s law. He was convinced that Jesus was the originator of the entire Jewish system of sacrifices.—The Acts of the Apostles, 119, 120.{WGD 142.3}[3]

耶稣本可以直接为保罗作这一切的,然而这却不是祂的计划。保罗有一些工作应作,他应向自己曾预谋迫害的人认罪;同时上帝也给祂所设立代己行事的人一份负责的工作。(3T 431)[4]
黎明的灵修-第140章
Jesus might have done all this work for Paul directly, but this was not His plan. Paul had something to do in the line of confession to the men whose destruction he had premeditated, and God had a responsible work for the men to do whom He had ordained to act in His stead.—Testimonies for the Church 3:431.{WGD 142.4}[4]
