使我认识祂-第345章
“她们去买的时候,新郎到了,那预备好了的,同他进去坐席,门就关了”(太25:10)。{TMK350.1}[1]
使我认识祂-第345章
And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.Matthew 25:10.{TMK 350.1}[1]
使我认识祂-第345章
但愿没有人随从愚拙童女的榜样,以为可以安全地等到危机临头,再去培养能在那时站立得住的品格。等到宾客被召进来接受检阅之时再去寻求基督的义,已经是太晚了。现在就该披上基督的义——就是使你有资格参与羔羊婚筵的礼服。比喻中描写愚拙的童女求油却得不到。这象征那班没有培养自己的品格、预备妥当、好在危机临身时能站立得住的人。就好比他们到那邻舍那里去说:请将你的品格送给我,否则我就灭亡了。聪明的童女无法将自己的油分给愚拙童女行将熄灭的灯。品格是不能转让的。品格也不可以买卖,而要努力获得。主已赐给每一个人机会去获得公义的品格。……可是祂没有准备什么方法,可以使人将自己所培养的品格分给别人。……{TMK350.2}[2]
使我认识祂-第345章
Let none follow the example of the foolish virgins and think that it will be safe to wait until the crisis comes before gaining a preparation of character to stand in that time. It will be too late to seek for the righteousness of Christ when the guests are called in and examined. Now is the time to put on the righteousness of Christ—the wedding garment that will fit you to enter into the marriage supper of the Lamb. In the parable, the foolish virgins are represented as begging for oil and failing to receive it at their request. This is symbolic of those who have not prepared themselves by developing a character to stand in a time of crisis. It is as if they should go to their neighbors and say, Give me your character or I shall be lost. Those that were wise could not impart their oil to the flickering lamps of the foolish virgins. Character is not transferable. It is not to be bought or sold; it is to be acquired. The Lord has given to every individual an opportunity to obtain a righteous character ..., but He has not provided a way by which one human agent may impart to another the character which he has developed....{TMK 350.2}[2]

日子将到,已经临近我们,特殊的试探要将品格的各个方面显露出来。凡坚持忠于原则,运用信心到底的人,必定在宽容时期结束之前经受试炼和考验证明为忠实,照着基督的样式塑造自己品格。他们与基督有密切的交往,靠着祂的智慧与恩典而与上帝的性情有分。但没有人能将由衷的献身和高贵的思想品质转让给别人,用道德的能力补助他的缺欠。(《青年导报》1896年11月16日){TMK350.3}[3]
使我认识祂-第345章
The day is coming, and it is close upon us, when every phase of character will be revealed by special temptation. Those who remain true to principle, who exercise faith to the end, will be those who have proved true under test and trial during the previous hours of their probation, and have formed characters after the likeness of Christ. It will be those who have cultivated close acquaintance with Christ who, through His wisdom and grace, are partakers of the divine nature. But no human being can give to another, heart devotion and noble qualities of mind, and supply his deficiencies with moral power.11{TMK 350.3}[3]

但愿没有人推迟预备的日子,免得发出呼召说“新郎来了,你们出来迎接他”的时候,你们像愚拙的童女一样,灯里没有油。(《青年导报》1896年1月30日){TMK350.4}[4]
使我认识祂-第345章
Let no one put off the day of preparation, lest the call be made, “Go forth to meet the bridegroom,” and you be found as were the foolish virgins, with no oil in your vessels with your lamps.12{TMK 350.4}[4]
