奇妙的神恩-第308章
“摩西在旷野怎样举蛇，人子也必照样被举起来。叫一切信祂的都得永生”（约3:14-15）。{AG 315.1}[1]
奇妙的神恩-第308章
As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.John 3:14, 15.{AG 315.1}[1]
奇妙的神恩-第308章
铜蛇的举起（民21:4-9）是要给以色列人一个重要的教训。他们无法救助自己脱离被蛇咬伤的致命毒害。惟有上帝才能医治他们。然而他们必须对上帝所定的办法表示信心。他们必须仰望，才能得生。上帝所悦纳的乃是他们的信心，而他们的信心乃是要藉着仰望铜蛇来表现。他们明知铜蛇本身毫无功能。这不过是基督的一个预表；这样，他们心中就感悟到相信基督之功劳的必要了。前此，许多人曾奉献他们的祭物与上帝，并觉得这样作就能充分地为自己赎罪。他们并没有依靠那将要来的救赎主，就是这些祭物所预表的救主。所以这时耶和华要教训他们，使他们知道祭物本身并不比铜蛇有更大的能力或功德，只是像铜蛇一样，是指引他们去仰望那伟大的赎罪祭基督。……{AG 315.2}[2]
奇妙的神恩-第308章
The lifting up of the brazen serpent [Numbers 21:4-9] was to teach Israel an important lesson. They could not save themselves from the fatal effect of the poison in their wounds. God alone was able to heal them. Yet they were required to show their faith in the provision which He had made. They must look in order to live. It was their faith that was acceptable with God, and by looking upon the serpent their faith was shown. They knew that there was no virtue in the serpent itself, but it was a symbol of Christ; and the necessity of faith in His merits was thus presented to their minds. Heretofore many had brought their offerings to God, and had felt that in so doing they made ample atonement for their sins. They did not rely upon the Redeemer to come, of whom these offerings were only a type. The Lord would now teach them that their sacrifices, in themselves, had no more power or virtue than the serpent of brass, but were, like that, to lead their minds to Christ, the great sin offering....{AG 315.2}[2]
奇妙的神恩-第308章
以色列人曾藉着仰望那举起来的蛇而救了自己的性命。仰望就是信心的表现。他们得了生命是因为他们相信上帝的话，并依靠上帝所安排的使他们复原的方法。照样，罪人也可以因仰望基督而得存活；他藉着相信救赎的牺牲而领受赦罪之恩。基督本身有能力和功德足以医治悔改的罪人。这是祂与那无生命的象征物不同的一点。{AG 315.3}[3]
奇妙的神恩-第308章
The Israelites saved their lives by looking upon the uplifted serpent. That look implied faith. They lived because they believed God’s word, and trusted in the means provided for their recovery. So the sinner may look to Christ, and live. He receives pardon through faith in the atoning sacrifice. Unlike the inert and lifeless symbol, Christ has power and virtue in Himself to heal the repenting sinner.{AG 315.3}[3]
奇妙的神恩-第308章
罪人固然不能自救，但他为要得救，也有他必须作的事。基督说：“到我这里来的，我总不丢弃他”（约6:37）。可见我们必须到祂这里来。当我们悔悟自己的罪时，我们必须相信祂一定会接纳并赦免我们。信心是上帝所赐的，但运用信心的能力乃在我们。信心乃是人用来把握住上帝恩典和怜悯的一只手。……{AG 315.4}[4]
奇妙的神恩-第308章
While the sinner cannot save himself, he still has something to do to secure salvation. “Him that cometh to me,” says Christ, “I will in no wise cast out” (John 6:37). But we must?come?to Him; and when we repent of our sins, we must believe that He accepts and pardons us. Faith is the gift of God, but the power to exercise it is ours. Faith is the hand by which the soul takes hold upon the divine offers of grace and mercy....{AG 315.4}[4]
奇妙的神恩-第308章
耶稣已经应许，凡到祂面前来的人，祂都必拯救。虽然有千万需要祂医治的人将要拒绝祂所提供的恩典；但没有一个依靠祂功劳的人会被祂丢弃而致灭亡。{PP 430-432}{AG 315.5}[5]
奇妙的神恩-第308章
Jesus had pledged His word; He will save all who come unto Him. Though millions who need it to be healed will reject His offered mercy, not one who trusts in His merits will be left to perish.4{AG 315.5}[5]
