奇妙的神恩-第99章
“你们要防备法利赛人的酵,就是假冒为善”(路12:1)。{AG 106.1}[1]
奇妙的神恩-第99章
Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.Luke 12:1.{AG 106.1}[1]
奇妙的神恩-第99章
法利赛人的伪善是专求利己的结果。荣耀自己是他们人生的目标。……连那十二个使徒,虽在表面上为耶稣的缘故已经撇弃一切,但为自己图谋大事的野心还没有死。……酵母的作用最后总不免有霉烂的结果,照样,专求利己的精神也必污秽并毁坏人的心灵。在现代跟从主的人中,这种阴险而不易捉摸的罪像古时一样,是何等普遍啊!我们为基督而做的工作,以及彼此之间的交通,往往因暗地里想高抬自己而受损害!……基督警告祂自己的门徒说:“你们要防备法利赛人的酵。”……惟有上帝的大能才能消除私心和伪善。{DA 409}{AG 106.2}[2]
奇妙的神恩-第99章
The hypocrisy of the Pharisees was the product of self-seeking. The glorification of themselves was the object of their lives.... Even the disciples, though outwardly they had left all for Jesus’ sake, had not in heart ceased to seek great things for themselves.... As leaven, if left to complete its work, will cause corruption and decay, so does the self-seeking spirit, cherished, work the defilement and ruin of the soul. Among the followers of our Lord today, as of old, how widespread is this subtle, deceptive sin! How often our service to Christ, our communion with one another, is marred by the secret desire to exalt self! ... To His own disciples the warning words of Christ are spoken, “Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees.” ... Only the power of God can banish self-seeking and hypocrisy.23{AG 106.2}[2]

但是当犹大加入门徒中的时候,他对于基督品格的优美,不是毫无感觉的。他也觉得到那引人归向救主的神圣感化力。……救主洞悉犹大的内心。祂也知道,除非上帝的恩典拯救他,犹大将堕落到何等罪孽深重的地步。祂让这个人作自己的门徒,使他能与自己无私之爱的泉源天天接触。如果犹大肯向基督打开心门,上帝的恩惠就会驱除自私的恶魔。连他这样的人,也可成为上帝国中的一分子。{DA 294.){AG 106.2}[3]
奇妙的神恩-第99章
When Judas joined the disciples, he was not insensible to the beauty of the character of Christ. He felt the influence of that divine power which was drawing souls to the Saviour.... The Saviour read the heart of Judas; He knew the depths of iniquity to which, unless delivered by the grace of God, Judas would sink. In connecting this man with Himself, He placed him where he might, day by day, be brought in contact with the outflowing of His own unselfish love. If he would open his heart to Christ, divine grace would banish the demon of selfishness, and even Judas might become a subject of the kingdom of God.24{AG 106.3}[3]
奇妙的神恩-第99章
基督的身份高贵无比,祂却屈身从事最卑微的服务。……基督亲自树立了谦卑的榜样。……祂不愿将这重大的任务委托给人。祂对于这事非常重视,甚至这一位与上帝同等的主,竟作了祂门徒的仆人。正当他们追求最高地位的时候,那万膝应当跪拜,而天使以侍奉祂为荣的主,却跪下洗那些称祂为主之人的脚,连卖祂之人的脚也洗了。……祂的全部生活都是在服务的规律之下。祂服侍了众人,为众人服务。这样,祂就实行了上帝的律法,并以自己的榜样指示我们应当如何遵守。{DA 649.}{AG 106.4}[4]
奇妙的神恩-第99章
No one was so exalted as Christ, and yet He stooped to the humblest duty.... Christ Himself set the example of humility. He would not leave this great subject in man’s charge. Of so much consequence did He regard it, that He Himself, One equal with God, acted as servant to His disciples. While they were contending for the highest place, He to whom every knee shall bow, He whom the angels of glory count it honor to serve, bowed down to wash the feet of those who called Him Lord. He washed the feet of His betrayer.... His whole life was under a law of service. He served all, ministered to all. Thus He lived the law of God, and by His example showed how we are to obey it.25{AG 106.4}[4]
