使我认识祂-第47章
“我是好牧人:我认识我的羊,我的羊也认识我。正如父认识我,我也认识父一样:并且我为羊舍命”(约10:14,15)。{TMK52.1}[1]
使我认识祂-第47章
I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.John 10:14, 15.{TMK 52.1}[1]
使我认识祂-第47章
耶稣说:“我认识我的羊。”让我们来想想这句话。上帝在我们接受祂之前就认识我们。“我认识我的羊。”人怎样成为基督的羊呢?由于选择接受祂。然而基督却先拣选了他们。祂知道每一个要响应祂吸引的人,祂也晓得每一个心里有意要接受祂,但因受民众反对的影响却要转离祂的人。约翰向众人说:“看哪!上帝的羔羊,除去世人罪孽的”(约1:29)。那班听见他的声音而认明耶稣为上帝的羔羊的人,就相信祂,并且由于自己所作的选择就成为祂的产业了。可是……他们选择基督不过是响应祂的吸引。在我们爱祂之先,耶稣的爱已经向我们表明了。……{TMK52.2}[2]

Jesus says, “I know my sheep.” Let us consider this statement. We are known by God before we receive Him. “I know my sheep.” How do souls become Christ’s sheep? By choosing to receive Him. But Christ had first chosen them. He knew every one who would respond to His drawing, and He knew every one who would be inclined to receive Him but who, through popular opposing influences, would turn from Him, John says to all, “Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world” (John 1:29). Those who heard the voice and did behold Jesus as the Lamb of God believed in Him and became His property from their own choice. But ... their choosing of Christ was in response to His drawing. The love of Jesus was expressed to us before we loved Him....{TMK 52.2}[2]

全人类正像羊群交托与牧人一般,都已交托与耶稣了。这些羊与小羊都当受牧者照顾。他们要享受那位忠心“牧长”的卫护,在众忠实牧人的照顾之下,而且他们若听从“牧长”的声音,就绝不至被撇下为狼群所吞灭。……{TMK52.3}[3]
使我认识祂-第47章
To Jesus the whole human family is entrusted, as the flocks of sheep are entrusted to a shepherd. These sheep and lambs are to be tended with pastoral care. They will be guarded by the faithful Chief Shepherd, under the care of faithful under shepherds, and if they will obey the voice of the Chief Shepherd they will not be left to be devoured by wolves....{TMK 52.3}[3]

耶稣说:“我的羊听我的声音,……他们也跟着我”(约10:27)。以色列的牧者并不驱赶祂的羊群,而是引领他们。祂的态度全然是邀请式的。“我的羊听我的声音。”我们若真是上帝的儿女,就不但听从,而且在一切其他的声音中能识别这声音。我们就重视基督的话语,并将那在耶稣里的真理与一切的谬论分辨出来,而且真理必更新心灵,使之充满了喜乐。……{TMK52.4}[4]

Jesus says, “My sheep hear my voice, ... and they follow me” (John 10:27). The Shepherd of Israel does not drive His flock, but He leads them. His attitude is wholly one of invitation. “My sheep hear my voice.” If we are indeed sons and daughters of God we not only hear, but recognize the voice above all others. We appreciate the words of Christ, we distinguish the truth as it is in Jesus from all error, and the truth refreshes the soul, and fills it with gladness....{TMK 52.4}[4]

《启示录》第七章的美妙例证乃是牧者工作的象征。……“他们不再饥,不再渴;日头和炎热也必不伤害他们;因为宝座中的羔羊必牧养他们,领他们到生命水的泉源……”(启7:16,17)。(《信函》1895年第20号){TMK52.5}[5]
使我认识祂-第47章
The beautiful illustration in?Revelation 7?is a pastoral symbol. “... They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters ...” (Revelation 7:16, 17).19{TMK 52.5}[5]
