When Affliction Comes, March 22
奇妙的神恩-第82章
“他在急难的时候,就恳求耶和华他的上帝,且在他列祖的上帝面前极其自卑”(代下33:12)。{AG 89.1}[1]
奇妙的神恩-第82章
When he was in affliction, he besought the Lord his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers.2 Chronicles 33:12.{AG 89.1}[1]
奇妙的神恩-第82章
基督说:“在世上你们有苦难,”但你们在我里面有平安。基督徒所受的忧患,逆境及辱骂等苦难,都是上帝指定使糠秕与麦子分开的方法。我们的骄傲,自私,恶欲,及贪爱世俗欢乐之心都必须予以制服;因此上帝便打发苦难来试验我们,使我们知道在自己的品格中有这些弊病。我们应当靠着主的恩典及能力得胜,脱离世上从情欲来的败坏,与上帝的性情有分。保罗说:“我们这至暂至轻的苦楚,要为我们成就极重无比永远的荣耀。原来我们不是顾念所见的,乃是顾念所不见的; 因为所见的是暂时的,所不见的是永远的”(林后4:17-18)。苦楚,艰难,试探,逆境,及各种的磨练,都是上帝的工匠,要修炼我们,圣化我们,并使我们配被收进天仓。{3T 115} {AG 89.2}[2]
奇妙的神恩-第82章
“In the world ye shall have tribulation” (John 16:33), says Christ; but in Me ye shall have peace. The trials to which Christians are subjected in sorrow, adversity, and reproach are the means appointed of God to separate the chaff from the wheat. Our pride, selfishness, evil passions, and love of worldly pleasure must all be overcome; therefore God sends us afflictions to test and prove us, and show us that these evils exist in our characters. We must overcome through His strength and grace, that we may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. “For our light affliction,” says Paul, “which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal” (2 Corinthians 4:17, 18). Afflictions, crosses, temptations, adversity, and our varied trials are God’s workmen to refine us, sanctify us, and fit us for the heavenly garner.47{AG 89.2}[2]
奇妙的神恩-第82章
临到你们的许多患难,是上帝本着祂的智慧要使你们更加靠近施恩的宝座。祂用忧患和试炼软化折服祂的儿女。这个世界是上帝的工厂,祂在这里为天庭塑造我们。祂在我们颤栗的心上使用刨刀,直到将一切粗糙不平与不匀称之处全都除去,使我们在那属天的建筑物中各适其位。基督徒由于患难与痛苦而得以洁净,加强能力,发展一种仿效基督所赐模范的品格。{4T 143}{AG 89.3}[3]
奇妙的神恩-第82章
Many of your afflictions have been visited upon you, in the wisdom of God, to bring you closer to the throne of grace. He softens and subdues His children by sorrows and trials. This world is God’s workshop, where He fashions us for the courts of heaven. He uses the planing knife upon our quivering hearts until the roughness and irregularities are removed and we are fitted for our proper places in the heavenly building. Through tribulation and distress the Christian becomes purified and strengthened, and develops a character after the model that Christ has given.48{AG 89.3}[3]
奇妙的神恩-第82章
更愿我们所遭受的一切难堪的苦楚,都成为有益的教训,足以教我们向前努力去得上帝在基督里面召我们来得的赏赐。但愿主必快来的这种思想激励我们,但愿这希望使我们的心中快乐。{9T 287}{AG 89.4}[4]
奇妙的神恩-第82章
Let the afflictions which pain us so grievously become instructive lessons, teaching us to press forward toward the mark of the prize of our high calling in Christ. Let us be encouraged by the thought that the Lord is soon to come. Let this hope gladden our hearts.49{AG 89.4}[4]
