Christ’s Sufferings Bring Us to God, February 23
黎明的灵修-第54章
“因基督也曾一次为罪受苦,就是义的代替不义的,为要引我们到上帝面前,按着肉体说祂被治死,按着灵性说祂复活了”(彼前3:18)。[1]

God Provides a Way of Escape
For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit.1 Peter 3:18.{WGD 56.1}[1]
黎明的灵修-第54章
上帝让祂儿子过卑微,克己,贫困,劳苦,屈辱的生活,以至痛苦地死在十字架上,却没有什么天使来发出喜讯说:“够了,我十分喜爱的儿子,祢不必死了。”那时万军天使都在伤心地等待着,希望着能象以撒的情形一样,上帝在最后的一霎那会使祂免受羞辱的死亡。然而天使却未获准去向祂的爱子发出这种的信息。在公堂里,在赴髑髅地的路上,这些羞辱,有增无已。祂被嘲笑,戏弄,唾骂。祂忍受那些恨祂之人的嘲骂侮辱和诽谤,直到在十字架上低头断气为止。[2]
黎明的灵修-第54章
God gave His Son to a life of humiliation, self-denial, poverty, toil, reproach, and to the agonizing death of crucifixion. But there was no angel to bear the joyful message, “It is enough; you need not die, my well-beloved Son.” Legions of angels were sorrowfully waiting, hoping that, as in the case of Isaac, God would at the last moment prevent His shameful death. But angels were not permitted to bear any such message to God’s dear Son. The humiliation in the judgment hall, and on the way to Calvary, went on. He was mocked, derided, and spit upon. He endured the jeers, taunts, and revilings of those who hated Him, until upon the cross He bowed His head and died.{WGD 56.2}[2]
黎明的灵修-第54章
除了让祂圣子经受这种痛苦之外,上帝还能给我们什么更大的凭据来证明祂的爱呢?上帝给人类的礼物乃是白白赐下的,祂的爱是无穷的,因此祂所要求于我们的信任,顺从,全心,全意,也相应是无穷的。祂要人也献上一切他们所能给的。我们的顺从应与上帝的恩赐相称,必须是完全的,毫无缺欠的,我们都是欠了上帝的债。祂所要求于我们的,我们若不全心奉献及甘心牺牲,就不能清偿我们的债。祂要求甘心踊跃顺从,非此就不蒙祂接纳。我们现在还有机会去求得上帝的爱及恩眷。在各位读者中,也许这一年就是有些人在世为人的末后一年了。在读此文的青年人中,是否有人要重看世俗的宴乐,过于基督向那切心寻求祂旨意而乐意奉行之人所赐的平安呢?(3T 369)[3]
黎明的灵修-第54章
Could God give us any greater proof of His love than in thus giving His Son to pass through this scene of suffering? And as the gift of God to man was a free gift, His love infinite, so His claims upon our confidence, our obedience, our whole heart, and the wealth of our affections, are correspondingly infinite. He requires all that it is possible for man to give. The submission on our part must be proportionate to the gift of God; it must be complete, and wanting in nothing. We are all debtors to God. He claims prompt and willing obedience, and nothing short of this will He accept. We have opportunity now to secure the love and favor of God. This year may be the last year in the lives of some who read this. Are there any among the youth who read this appeal, who would choose the pleasures of the world before that peace which Christ gives the earnest seeker and the cheerful doer of His will?—Testimonies for the Church 3:369.{WGD 56.3}[3]
