一同在天上-第13章
Christ the Revelation of God, January 12
一同在天上-第13章
“父自己爱你们,因为你们已经爱我,又信我是从父出来的”(约16:27)。{HP18.1}[1]
一同在天上-第13章
For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.John 16:27.{HP 18.1}[1]
一同在天上-第13章
我们看见宇宙之神的圣洁与荣耀,不免心中恐惧,因为我们知道祂的公义决不容祂以有罪的为无罪。然而我们不必留在恐惧之中,因为基督降世是要彰显上帝的品德,使我们了解祂对于所接纳儿女慈父般的爱。我们衡量上帝的品德不但凭大自然的杰作,更是凭耶稣纯朴可爱的人生。祂所显示的耶和华比我们肉身的父母更为慈怜、同情和温柔。{HP18.2}[2]
一同在天上-第13章
In viewing the holiness and glory of the God of the universe, we are terrified, for we know that His justice will not permit Him to clear the guilty. But we need not remain in terror; for Christ came to the world to reveal the character of God, to make plain to us His paternal love toward His adopted children. We are not to estimate the character of God by the stupendous works of nature alone, but by the simple, lovely life of Jesus, who presented Jehovah as more merciful, more compassionate, more tender, than our earthly parents.{HP 18.2}[2]

耶稣所表显的天父为一位我们可以信任,并诉说我们需要的主。当我们害怕上帝,一想到祂的荣耀和威严就恐惧的时候,天父却向我们指出基督是祂的代表。你见到耶稣所显示的亲切、同情与慈爱,都是天父品性的反映。髑髅地的十字架向人彰显上帝的爱。基督表现宇宙的主宰为一位慈爱的上帝。祂藉着先知的口说:“我以永远的爱爱你,因此我以慈爱吸引你”(耶31:3)。{HP18.3}[3]
一同在天上-第13章
Jesus presented the Father as one to whom we could give our confidence and present our wants. When we are in terror of God, and overwhelmed with the thought of His glory and majesty, the Father points us to Christ as His representative. What you see revealed in Jesus, of tenderness, compassion, and love, is the reflection of the attributes of the Father. The cross of Calvary reveals to man the love of God. Christ represents the Sovereign of the universe as a God of love. By the mouth of the prophet He said, “I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with loving-kindness have I drawn thee” (Jeremiah 31:3).{HP 18.3}[3]
一同在天上-第13章
我们靠着基督名字的功劳,得以与上帝亲近。而且上帝邀请我们把一切试炼和试探都带到祂那里,因为祂知道得一清二楚。祂不要我们将自己的痛苦向世人倾吐。我们可以藉着基督的宝血来到施恩座前,蒙恩惠得随时的帮助。我们可以有把握地进前来,说:“我是在爱子里蒙悦纳”。“因为我们两下藉着祂被一个圣灵所感,得以进到父面前”。“我们因信耶稣,就在祂里面放胆无惧,笃信不疑来到上帝面前”(弗2:18;3:12)。{HP18.4}[4]
一同在天上-第13章
We have access to God through the merits of the name of Christ, and God invites us to bring to Him our trials and temptations; for He understands them all. He would not have us pour out our woes to human ears. Through the blood of Christ we may come to the throne of grace and find grace to help in time of need. We may come with assurance, saying, “My acceptance is in the Beloved.” “For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.” “In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him” (Ephesians 2:18;Ephesians 3:12).{HP 18.4}[4]

地上的父母怎样鼓励孩子随时来在他们身边,上帝也照样鼓励我们把我们的需要、困惑、感激和爱心带到祂面前。祂的每一个应许都是可靠的。耶稣是我们的调解人,是我们的中保,祂已把所有的资源交给我们,使我们能造就完全的品格。{HP18.5}[5]
一同在天上-第13章
As an earthly parent encourages his child to come to him at all times, so the Lord encourages us to lay before Him our wants and perplexities, our gratitude and love. Every promise is sure. Jesus is our Surety and Mediator, and has placed at our command every resource, that we may have a perfect character.18{HP 18.5}[5]
