Love the Impelling Motive, August 15
一同在天上-第229章
“原来基督的爱激励我们”(林后5:14)。{HP234.1}[1]
一同在天上-第229章
For the love of Christ constraineth us.2 Corinthians 5:14.{HP 234.1}[1]
一同在天上-第229章
“如今常存的有信、有望、有爱,这三样,其中最大的是爱”(林前13:13)。这种爱在基督的生活中得到了完美的表达。当我们犯罪堕落的时候,祂就爱我们。祂来到祸患的深处,拯救犯错的世人。祂的忍耐没有消退,祂的热情没有减少。那被骄傲、顽梗、忘恩负义的心所击退的慈怜浪潮,总是以更强大的爱浪涌流回来。{HP234.2}[2]

“But now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; and the greatest of these is love” (1 Corinthians 13:13). In the life of Christ this love found perfect expression. He loved us in our sin and degradation. He reached to the very depths of woe to uplift the erring sons and daughters of earth. There was no wearying of His patience, no lessening of His zeal. The waves of mercy, beaten back by proud, impenitent, unthankful hearts, ever returned in a stronger tide of love.{HP 234.2}[2]

基督的爱所激励的人会到同胞中去,帮助无助的人,鼓励沮丧的人,向罪人指出上帝对祂儿女的理想,引导他们到那位唯一能帮助他们达到这种理想的主那里。……{HP234.3}[3]
一同在天上-第229章
He who is constrained by the love of Christ goes forth among his fellow men to help the helpless and encourage the desponding, to point sinners to God’s ideal for His children, and to lead them to Him who alone can enable them to reach this ideal....{HP 234.3}[3]
一同在天上-第229章
我们决不可冷酷无情,尤其是在对待穷人的时候。要向所有的人表现礼貌、同情和怜悯。偏袒富人是上帝不喜悦的。藐视耶稣穷苦的儿女,就是藐视祂。他们虽然在世间的财物上并不富有,却是祂所珍爱的。上帝不承认社会等级的界限。对于祂来说,不存在什么阶级。在祂眼中人就是人,不管是好是坏。在最后算账的日子,地位、阶级或财富对案情没有丝毫影响。洞悉一切的上帝在审判人的时候,只依据他们心中的纯洁、高尚和对基督的爱。……{HP234.4}[4]
一同在天上-第229章
Never are we to be cold and unsympathetic, especially when dealing with the poor. Courtesy, sympathy, and compassion are to be shown to all. Partiality for the wealthy is displeasing to God. Jesus is slighted when His needy children are slighted. They are not rich in this world’s goods, but they are dear to His heart of love. God recognizes no distinction of rank. With Him there is no caste. In His sight men are simply men, good or bad. In the day of final reckoning, position, rank, or wealth will not alter by a hairbreadth the case of any one. By the all-seeing God, men will be judged by what they are in purity, in nobility, in love for Christ....{HP 234.4}[4]

基督宣布要传福音给贫穷的人。当上帝的真理带给贫穷孤苦之人时,会展示最大的美。于是福音的真光就极其清澈地放射出来,照亮农夫的茅舍和工人简陋的住宅。有上帝的天使光临,使粗茶淡饭变成佳肴美点。那些为世人所忽略和抛弃的人,被提升为至高上帝的儿女。他们坐在天上耶稣基督那里,远超过世上的一切地位。他们也许没有属世的财富,却找到了重价的珍珠。{HP234.5}[5]
一同在天上-第229章
Christ declared that the gospel is to be preached to the poor. Never does God’s truth put on an aspect of greater loveliness than when brought to the needy and destitute. Then it is that the light of the gospel shines forth in its most radiant clearness, lighting up the hut of the peasant and the rude cottage of the laborer. Angels of God are there, and their presence makes the crust of bread and the cup of water a banquet. Those who have been neglected and abandoned by the world are raised to be sons and daughters of the Most High. Lifted above any position that earth can give, they sit in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. They may have no earthly treasure, but they have found the pearl of great price.26{HP 234.5}[5]
