「但耶和华与约瑟同在,向他施恩,使他在司狱的眼前蒙恩」(创39:21)。{SD320.1}[1]
上帝的儿女-第315章
We Are Elevated, Ennobled, Refined
But the Lord was with Joseph, and shewed him mercy, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison.Genesis 39:21.{SD 320.1}[1]
上帝的儿女-第315章
约瑟把被卖到埃及视为他人生最大的不幸,但他看出自己必须信靠上帝。这种体会是他在受到他父亲宠爱的时候所从未有过的。约瑟将上帝一同带到埃及。所以他在忧伤之中仍能保持愉快的心情。正如上帝的约柜给以色列带来平安和繁荣,这位爱上帝、敬畏上帝的青年也给埃及带来福气。这种福气在他所服事的波提乏家中表现得非常明显,以致波提乏觉得他的所有福惠都是他所买的这位奴隶带来的。{SD320.2}[2]
上帝的儿女-第315章
Joseph regarded his being sold into Egypt as the greatest calamity that could have befallen him; but he saw the necessity of trusting in God as he had never done when protected by his father’s love. Joseph brought God with him into Egypt, and the fact was made apparent by his cheerful demeanor amid his sorrow. As the ark of God brought rest and prosperity to Israel, so did this God-loving, God-fearing youth bring a blessing to Egypt. This was manifested in so marked a manner that Potiphar, in whose house he served, attributed all his blessings to his purchased slave.21{SD 320.2}[2]
上帝的儿女-第315章
约瑟的信仰使他在一切试炼之中保持温柔的性情,以及热忱而强烈的同情心。有的人一旦觉得自己受了亏待,言语就尖酸刻薄,举止就显得小气无礼。他们失望消沉,怨天犬人。但约瑟是一位基督徒。他一入监就把基督徒品格的光实行出来。他开始帮助别人。他帮助解决难友的困难。他时常快乐,因为他是一位基督化的绅士。上帝正在这种操练之下预备他承受重大的责任和尊荣,起重大的作用。他愿意学习。他虚心地接受上帝给他的教训。他在年青的时候学习负轭。他先学习自己顺服,再学习管理别人。……{SD320.3}[3]
上帝的儿女-第315章
Joseph’s religion kept his temper sweet and his sympathy with humanity warm and strong, notwithstanding all his trials. There are those who if they feel they are not rightly used, become sour, ungenerous, crabbed and uncourteous in their words and deportment. They sink down discouraged, hateful and hating others. But Joseph was a Christian. No sooner does he enter upon prison life, than he brings all the brightness of his Christian principles into active exercise; he begins to make himself useful to others. He enters into the troubles of his fellow prisoners. He is cheerful, for he is a Christian gentleman. God was preparing him under this discipline for a situation of great responsibility, honor, and usefulness, and he was willing to learn; he took kindly to the lessons the Lord would teach him. He learned to bear the yoke in his youth. He learned to govern by first learning obedience himself....{SD 320.3}[3]
上帝的儿女-第315章
约瑟在阴暗的牢狱中所作的工作,是为他最后享受荣华富贵作准备。上帝计划让他从试探,迫害和艰难之中获得一种经验,以便今后担任崇高的职务。约瑟到处实行他的信仰,这就是他忠贞不移的秘诀。{SD320.4}[4]
上帝的儿女-第315章
The part which Joseph acted in connection with the scenes of the gloomy prison, was that which raised him finally to prosperity and honor. God designed that he should obtain an experience by temptations, adversity, and hardships, to prepare him to fill an exalted position. Joseph carried his religion everywhere, and this was the secret of his unwavering fidelity.22{SD 320.4}[4]
