“What Manner of Love”! February 23
使我认识祂-第55章
“你看父赐给我们是何等的慈爱,使我们得称为上帝的儿女;我们也真是祂的儿女;世人所以不认识我们,是因未曾认识祂”(约壹3:1)。{TMK60.1}[1]
使我认识祂-第55章
Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.1 John 3:1.{TMK 60.1}[1]

“凡接待祂的,……祂就赐他们权柄,作上帝的儿女”(约1:12)。“因为凡被上帝的灵引导的,都是上帝的儿子。你们所受的不是奴仆的心,仍旧害怕;所受的乃是儿子的心,因此我们呼叫阿爸,父。圣灵与我们的心同证我们是上帝的儿女;既是儿女,便是后嗣,就是上帝的后嗣,和基督同作后嗣;如果我们和祂一同受苦,也必和祂一同得荣耀。我想现在的苦楚,若比起将来要显于我们的荣耀,就不足介意了”(罗8:14-18)。{TMK60.2}[2]

“But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God” (John 1:12).... “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us” (Romans 8:14-18).{TMK 60.2}[2]

约翰想不出合适的话语,用来描述上帝对有罪世人之不可思议的爱,但他却号召众人要注意看上帝藉恩赐祂独生子所显示的爱。由于为有罪人类所献祭物的完全,凡相信基督的人,……都可以蒙拯救脱离永远的灭亡。基督与父原为一,然而当罪孽因亚当的过犯侵入我们的世界时,祂情愿舍弃那与上帝同等的崇高地位,祂原住在世人所不能靠近的明光中,享有十分丰满的荣耀,以致无人目睹祂的圣颜而仍能存活,然而祂却纡尊降贵甘受侮辱、嘲弄、苦难、疼痛与死亡,以满足上帝永不变更之律法的要求,藉着祂的死和祂的义为犯法者开辟一条逃生之路。这是祂的父所交托祂要作成的大工,而且凡接受基督并全然依靠祂功劳的人,都得以成为上帝所收养的儿女——作上帝的后嗣,与耶稣基督同为后嗣。……{TMK60.3}[3]

John cannot find adequate words wherein to describe the amazing love of God to sinful man, but he calls upon all to behold the love of God revealed in the gift of His only begotten Son. Through the perfection of the sacrifice given for the guilty race, those who believe in Christ ... may be saved from eternal ruin. Christ was one with the Father, yet when sin entered our world through Adam’s transgression, He was willing to step down from the exaltation of One who was equal with God, who dwelt in light unapproachable by humanity, so full of glory that no man could behold His face and live, and submit to insult, mockery, suffering, pain, and death, in order to answer the claims of the immutable law of God, and make a way of escape for the transgressor by His death and righteousness. This was the work which His Father gave Him to do, and those who accept Christ, relying wholly upon His merits, are made the adopted sons and daughters of God—are heirs of God, and joint heirs with Jesus Christ....{TMK 60.3}[3]

谁也不要以为有才干、有学问或有地位的人如果接受基督,就会降低身份。每一个人都应恭敬感激地仰天赞叹道:“你看父赐给我们是何等的慈爱。”(《青年导报》1894年9月27日){TMK60.4}[4]
使我认识祂-第55章
Let no one ... think that it is a condescension for any man, however talented or learned or honored, to accept Christ. Every human being should look to heaven with reverence and gratitude, and exclaim with amazement, “Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us.”30{TMK 60.4}[4]
