黎明的灵修-第75章
“上帝救了我们,以圣召召我们,不是按我们的行为,乃是按祂的旨意和恩典;这恩典是万古之先,在基督耶稣里赐给我们的”(提后1:9)。[1]

God Seeks and Calls Us
Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began.2 Timothy 1:9.{WGD 77.1}[1]
黎明的灵修-第75章
“耶稣在加利利海边行走,看见弟兄二人,就是那称呼彼得的西门和他兄弟安得烈,在海里撒网,他们本是打鱼的。耶稣对他们说:来跟从我。……”(太4:18-22)耶稣没有应许他们什么工资,他们也不问什么,就立刻跟从了祂,这事看起来很奇怪;但基督的话乃是一种带有推动力的邀请。基督要让这些卑微的渔夫与祂联合,成为帮助人摆脱撒但的奴役、转而侍奉上帝的工具。在这项工作上,他们要作祂的见证人,将祂未掺杂人的遗传和诡辩的真理传给世人。他们要藉着效法基督的美德,与祂同行同工,取得资格作得人的渔夫。……现今需要这种传道人。他们肯毫无保留地献身于圣工,向卧在恶者手下的世界表现上帝的国。世界需要有思想有原则,在悟性和知识上不断进步的人。我们非常需要能将印刷品使用到最佳效果的人,好使真理长上翅膀,迅速传到各国,各方,各民。(GW 24、25)[2]
黎明的灵修-第75章
“Jesus, walking by the Sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. And He saith unto them, Follow Me....” The prompt, unquestioning obedience of these men, with no promise of wages, seems remarkable; but the words of Christ were an invitation that carried with it an impelling power. Christ would make these humble fishermen, in connection with Himself, the means of taking men out of the service of Satan, and placing them in the service of God. In this work they would become His witnesses, bearing to the world His truth unmingled with the traditions and sophistries of men. By practicing His virtues, by walking and working with Him, they were to be qualified to be fishers of men.... Workers of this character are needed now, men who will consecrate themselves without reserve to the work of representing the kingdom of God to a world lying in wickedness. The world needs men of thought, men of principle, men who are constantly growing in understanding and discernment. There is great need of men who can use the press to the best advantage, that the truth may be given wings to speed it to every nation, and tongue, and people.—Gospel Workers, 24, 25.{WGD 77.2}[2]

为上帝和为救灵作工乃是人们曾有或者说能有的最崇高的恩召。在这事上的得失具有极大的影响;因为其结果并非终结于今生,而是延及永恒。(5T 410)[3]
黎明的灵修-第75章
To labor for God and for the salvation of souls is the highest and noblest calling that men ever had or ever can have. The losses and gains in this business are of great importance; for the results do not end with this life, but reach over into eternity.—Testimonies for the Church 5:411.{WGD 77.3}[3]
