奇妙的神恩-第291章
“要以谦卑束腰,……因为上帝阻挡骄傲的人,赐恩给谦卑的人”(彼前5:5)。{AG 298.1}[1]
奇妙的神恩-第291章
Be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.1 Peter 5:5.{AG 298.1}[1]
奇妙的神恩-第291章
约翰在品格和生活上所表现信赖的爱心与无私的献身,对于基督教会有极宝贵的教训。约翰不是生来就具有他晚年经验所表现的可爱性格的。他天性上有许多严重的缺点。他不但骄傲自逞,贪图虚荣,而且性情急躁,一受亏损就怀恨在心。……但那一位神圣的教师看出,在这一切之下,约翰还有一颗热诚,真挚和仁爱的心。耶稣谴责了他的自私自利,挫折了他的奢望,并试验了他的信心。同时救主也向他启示了他心灵所渴慕的——圣洁的美,以及爱的改变人心的力量。{AA 539}{AG 298.2}[2]
奇妙的神恩-第291章
The confiding love and unselfish devotion manifested in the life and character of John present lessons of untold value to the Christian church. John did not naturally possess the loveliness of character that his later experience revealed. By nature he had serious defects. He was not only proud, self-assertive, and ambitious for honor, but impetuous, and resentful under injury.... But beneath all this the divine Teacher discerned the ardent, sincere, loving heart. Jesus rebuked his self-seeking, disappointed his ambitions, tested his faith. But He revealed to him that for which his soul longed—the beauty of holiness, the transforming power of love.39{AG 298.2}[2]
奇妙的神恩-第291章
基督的教训说明柔和、谦卑和慈爱,对于在恩典中长进和为主工作的资格都是不可缺少的。这教训对于约翰是非常有价值的。约翰把每一个教训都珍藏在心,并经常尽力使自己的生活能符合那神圣的模范。约翰已经开始辨识基督的荣耀——并不是他素来所习惯盼望的属世的炫耀和权力,而是“父独生子的荣光,”“充充满满地有恩典有真理”(约1:14)。……约翰渴望与耶稣相似;在基督慈爱改变人心的影响之下,他果然成了一个柔和谦卑的人。自我已经隐藏在耶稣里面了。{AA 544}{AG 298.3}[3]
奇妙的神恩-第291章
The lessons of Christ, setting forth meekness and humility and love as essential to growth in grace and a fitness for His work, were of the highest value to John. He treasured every lesson, and constantly sought to bring his life into harmony with the divine pattern. John had begun to discern the glory of Christ—not the worldly pomp and power for which he had been taught to hope, but “the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth” (John 1:14).... John desired to become like Jesus, and under the transforming influence of the love of Christ he did become meek and lowly. Self was hid in Jesus.40{AG 298.3}[3]
奇妙的神恩-第291章
主耶稣所要寻找与祂同工的,乃是那些愿意充分传递祂恩惠的人。……首先学习的教训就是不自恃,然后才可以接受基督的品格。这种品格不是最科学化的学校所能造就的;乃是上天的智慧所结的果子。这智慧惟有那神圣的教师才能赐给我们。……{AG 298.4}[4]
奇妙的神恩-第291章
The Lord Jesus seeks the co-operation of those who will become unobstructed channels for the communication of His grace. The first thing to be learned ... is the lesson of self-distrust; then they are prepared to have imparted to them the character of Christ. This is not to be gained through education in the most scientific schools. It is the fruit of wisdom that is obtained from the divine Teacher alone....{AG 298.4}[4]
奇妙的神恩-第291章
文艺界和科学界中造诣高深的人们,往往从生活在卑微之中的基督徒身上学到宝贵的教训。他们虽然被世人视为无学问的,但他们已在最高学府中受过教育。他们曾在那“从来没有像祂那样说话”(约7:46)的主脚前坐过。{DA 251} {AG 298.5}[5]
奇妙的神恩-第291章
Men of the highest education in the arts and sciences have learned precious lessons from Christians in humble life who were designated by the world as unlearned. But these obscure disciples had obtained an education in the highest of all schools. They had sat at the feet of Him who spoke as “never man spake” (John 7:46).41{AG 298.5}[5]
