Jesus Pays the Debt of Repentant Sinners, December 25
效法主耶稣-第360章
“还是你藐视祂丰富的恩慈,宽容,忍耐,不晓得祂的恩慈是领你悔改呢”(罗2:4)?{BLJ377.1}[1]
效法主耶稣-第360章
Or do you despise the riches of His goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance??Romans 2:4, NKJV.{BLJ 377.1}[1]
效法主耶稣-第360章
在服侍保罗的门徒中,有一个名叫阿尼西母,是来自歌罗西的逃奴。他的主人腓利门,是歌罗西教会的一个基督徒。他盗窃了主人的东西逃到了罗马。保罗本着他的仁爱,先设法解救这个可怜的逃亡者的贫穷和苦难,然后尽量将真理的光照耀他黑暗的内心。阿尼西母认真聆听了他曾一度藐视的生命之道,就悔改相信了基督。他承认了自己得罪主人的罪,感激地接受了使徒的劝勉。{BLJ377.2}[2]
效法主耶稣-第360章
Among the disciples who ministered to Paul at Rome was Onesimus, a fugitive slave from the city of Colosse. He belonged to a Christian named Philemon, a member of the Colossian church. But he had robbed his master and fled to Rome.... In the kindness of his heart, the apostle sought to relieve the poverty and distress of the wretched fugitive, and then endeavored to shed the light of truth into his darkened mind. Onesimus listened attentively to the words of life which he had once despised, and was converted to the faith of Christ. He now confessed his sin against his master, and gratefully accepted the counsel of the apostle.{BLJ 377.2}[2]
效法主耶稣-第360章
阿尼西母的敬虔,温柔和真诚,他对于保罗的亲切照顾和他推进福音工作的热情,使保罗非常爱他。保罗看出,阿尼西母所具有品格的特性足以在布道的工作上成为他有益的助手,很希望把他留在罗马。但他先要得到腓利门的同意。{BLJ377.3}[3]
效法主耶稣-第360章
He had endeared himself to Paul by his piety, meekness, and sincerity, no less than by his tender care for the apostle’s comfort and his zeal to promote the work of the gospel. Paul saw in him traits of character that would render him a useful helper in missionary labor, and he would gladly have kept him at Rome. But he would not do this without the full consent of Philemon.{BLJ 377.3}[3]
效法主耶稣-第360章
所以他决定让阿尼西母马上回到主人那里去。这个奴仆既要这样把自己交给他所亏负的主人,就临到严重的考验。但他已经真诚地悔改了,所以没有转离自己的本分。保罗让阿尼西母带信给腓利门。在这一封信里,保罗机智仁爱地为这个悔改的奴隶求情,并表示自己对他的希望。{BLJ377.4}[4]
效法主耶稣-第360章
He therefore decided that Onesimus should at once return to his master.... It was a severe test for this servant to thus deliver himself up to the master he had wronged; but he had been truly converted, and, painful as it was, he did not shrink from this duty. Paul made Onesimus the bearer of a letter to Philemon, in which he with great delicacy and kindness pleaded the cause of the repentant slave, and intimated his own wishes concerning him....{BLJ 377.4}[4]
效法主耶稣-第360章
他要求腓利门接受阿尼西母为自己的孩子。保罗表示自己愿意留下阿尼西母,在他捆锁中伺候他,况且这是腓利门自己所一定愿意做的。但除非腓利门自己同意释放这个奴隶,他就不愿得阿尼西母的帮助。阿尼西母曾以这么不适当的方式暂时离开了主人,现在悔改回来了,可能得到主人爱心的宽恕和接纳,以致他可能希望永远与原来的主人同住,“不再是奴仆,乃是高过奴仆,是亲爱的弟兄”(门16)。{BLJ377.5}[5]
效法主耶稣-第360章
He requests Philemon to receive him as his own child. He says that it was his desire to retain Onesimus, that he might act the same part in ministering to him in his bonds as Philemon would have done. But he did not desire his services unless Philemon should voluntarily set him free; for it might be in the providence of God that Onesimus had left his master for a season in so improper a manner, that, being converted, he might on his return be forgiven and received with such affection that he would choose to dwell with him ever after, “not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved.” ...{BLJ 377.5}[5]
效法主耶稣-第360章
这是多么合适的例证,说明基督对于悔改之罪人的爱啊!那欺诈主人的奴隶本身没有什么可以偿还。照样,那夺取上帝多年服务的罪人也没有什么可以偿清自己的债务。于是耶稣置身于罪人与上帝的公义忿怒之间,说,我愿意偿付这笔债。让罪人免去罪的刑罚吧,我愿意替他受苦。(LP.284-287){BLJ377.6}[6]
效法主耶稣-第360章
How fitting an illustration of the love of Christ toward repenting sinners! As the servant who had defrauded his master had nothing with which to make restitution, so sinners who have robbed God of years of service have no means of canceling their debt; Jesus interposes between them and the just wrath of God, and says, I will pay the debt. Let them be spared the punishment of their guilt. I will suffer in their stead.—Sketches from the Life of Paul, 284-287.{BLJ 377.6}[6]
