9月14日青少年的榜样

Pattern for Children and Youth, September 14

“孩子渐渐长大，强健起来，充满智慧，又有上帝的恩在祂身上”（路2:40）。{FLB 263.1}[1]

The Happiest Place on Earth
And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.Luke 2:40.{FLB 263.1}[1]

耶稣是我们的榜样。……祂在家庭中的生活，正是一切儿童和青年的模范。（DA 74）{FLB 263.2}[2]

Jesus is our example.... It is in His home life that He is the pattern for all children and youth.64{FLB 263.2}[2]

祂的母亲是祂的第一位人间教师。从她口中和先知的书卷中，祂学得了有关天上的事。……祂对于圣经的精通和娴熟，就说明祂幼年时是如何勤读上帝的话的。……从幼小的时候，祂就抱定一个宗旨：祂活着是要为人类造福。（DA 70）{FLB 263.3}[3]

His mother was His first human teacher. From her lips and from the scrolls of the prophets, He learned of heavenly things.... His intimate acquaintance with the Scriptures shows how diligently His early years were given to the study of God’s Word.... From His earliest years He was possessed of one purpose; He lived to bless others.65{FLB 263.3}[3]

在祂的青年时期中，祂与祂的父亲共同从事木匠的手艺。……祂从孩提时就是顺从和勤劳的模范。祂在家中犹如一线愉快的阳光。祂忠实而欣然地履行了自己的本分，在祂俭朴的生活中克尽平凡的义务。（YI.1895.11.21）{FLB 263.4}[4]

In His youth He worked with His father at the carpenter’s trade.... From His childhood He was a pattern of obedience and industry. He was as a pleasant sunbeam in the home circle. Faithfully and cheerfully He acted His part, doing the humble duties that He was called to do in His lowly life.66{FLB 263.4}[4]

基督谦卑的人生毫无矫饰炫耀。祂大部分时间在户外。……飞鸟，点缀田间的绚丽花朵，高耸的树木，巍峨的群山，嶙峋的岩石和永久的山岭，对祂都特别有吸引力。……祂从人前隐退，与祂的天父交通。如此的深思和与上帝的交往，使祂的道德能力得到加强。（YI.1873.9.1）{FLB 263.5}[5]

The life of Christ was humble, free from affectation or display. He lived mostly in the open air.... The birds, the natural flowers that decked the fields with their glowing beauty, the majestic trees and lofty mountains, the ragged rocks and perpetual hills, all had special charms for Him.... Secluded from every human eye, He communed with His heavenly Father. His moral powers were strengthened by His meditation and communion with God.67{FLB 263.5}[5]

父母拥有宝贵的特权，可以合作教导儿女藉着效法基督的榜样而分享祂生活中的喜乐。救主在幼年时也是有作为的。祂在家中作母亲的助手。祂在克尽家中的义务时，在木匠工作凳边工作时，和祂在公开传道时一样，都忠实地完成了自己的任务。（AH 290）{FLB 263.6}[6]

It is the precious privilege of ... parents to cooperate in teaching the children how to drink in the gladness of Christ’s life by learning to follow His example. The Saviour’s early years were useful years. He was His mother’s helper in the home; and He was just as verily fulfilling His commission when performing the duties of the home and working at the carpenter’s bench as when He engaged in His public work of ministry.68{FLB 263.6}[6]

凡效法耶稣在祂卑微的家中所留下忠心顺服之榜样的青年，都可以将天父籍着圣灵论到耶稣的话引到自己身上：“看哪!我的仆人，我所扶持、所拣选、心里所喜悦的”（赛42:1）。（DA 74）{FLB 263.7}[7]

Every youth who follows Christ’s example of faithfulness and obedience in His lowly home may claim those words spoken of Him by the Father through the Holy Spirit, “Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth.”Isaiah 42:1.69{FLB 263.7}[7]
