Glory Not in Talent and Influence, August 17
上帝的儿女-第231章
「若有讲道的,要按着上帝的圣言讲,若有服事人的,要按着上帝所赐的力量服事,叫上帝在凡事上因耶稣基督得荣耀,原来荣耀、权能都是祂的,直到永永远远。阿们」(彼前4:11)!{SD236.1}[1]
上帝的儿女-第231章
Let Us Glory in the Cross of Christ
If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth; that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever.1 Peter 4:11.{SD 236.1}[1]
上帝的儿女-第231章
基督是我们的榜样。跟随基督的人不在黑暗里行走,因为他们不求自己的喜悦。荣耀上帝是他们终生的目标。……有多少受托以才干和感化力的人,竟不看那榜样,去随从世俗的标准。……拥有大量钱财、房屋与田地的人,通常都让他们的儿女过惯闲懒和自私放纵的生活。这样,他们在今生就毫无用处,也不配享受将来的永生。……今日青年所受的教育,竟使他们相信人只要有了钱,就算是一个大丈夫了。{SD236.2}[2]
上帝的儿女-第231章
Christ is our pattern, and those who follow Christ will not walk in darkness; for they will not seek their own pleasure. To glorify God will be the continual aim of their life.... But how many who have been entrusted with talents of means and influence have lost sight of the pattern, and followed the standard of the world.... Men and women who have been blessed with an abundance of money, with houses and with lands, generally train their children to a life of idleness and selfish indulgence. Thus they are made useless for this life, and unfit for the future, immortal life.... The youth of today are educated to believe that it is the money that makes the man.33{SD 236.2}[2]
上帝的儿女-第231章
我们的力量不在于我们所受的教育或财富,也不在于我们的名望,而在于我们的自我牺牲和乐意顺服耶稣基督。凡真诚地将一切都献给祂的人,必拥有感化之力,也可以带领别人同走,因为他们行在光中。智力的效果不佳;财力在上帝看来也没有什么价值。但心灵的力量,借着敬虔和谦卑的忠诚,会产生不可抗拒的影响。{SD236.3}[3]
上帝的儿女-第231章
Our power is not in our talents of education or means, neither is it in our popularity; it is in self-sacrifice, our willing obedience to Jesus Christ. Those who truly surrender all to Him, will carry a weight of influence, and will carry others along with them, because they walk in the light. Brain power will be inefficient, purse power of little account with God; but heart power, thorough godliness, humble fidelity, will bear a weight of influence that will be irresistible.34{SD 236.3}[3]
上帝的儿女-第231章
我们可否毫无保留地将自己献给上帝呢?荣耀之君基督曾献上了自己作我们的赎价。我们有什么是舍不得献给祂的呢?我们这个可怜不配的自我是否太珍贵,我们的光阴和财产是否太值钱,而不愿献给耶稣吗?不!当将我们内心深处的敬意,我们所能作出的最佳服务,我们的才干和财富,都作为卑微的礼物,献给那位曾经被杀,「用自己的血从各族、各方、各民、各国中买了人来,叫他们归于上帝」的主。{SD236.4}[4]
上帝的儿女-第231章
Shall we not consecrate ourselves to God without reserve? Christ, the King of glory, gave Himself a ransom for us. Can we withhold anything from Him? Shall we think our poor, unworthy selves too precious, our time or property too valuable, to give to Jesus?—No, no; the deepest homage of our hearts, the most skillful service of our hands, our talents of ability and of means,—all are but too poor an offering to bring to Him who was slain and has “redeemed us to God by his blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation.”35{SD 236.4}[4]
