“耶稣又对他们说:‘小子,倚靠钱财的人进入上帝的国,是何等的难哪!骆驼穿过针的眼,比财主进上帝的国还容易呢’”(可10:24-25)。{HP301.1}[1]
一同在天上-第296章
Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.Mark 10:24, 25.{HP 301.1}[1]

上帝的计划是这些财富应该予以适合地使用,分出去使贫困的人得福,并且用来推进上帝的工作。人们若是爱自己的财富过于爱同胞,过于爱上帝或圣经的真理,他们的心若是在自己的财宝上,就不能拥有永生。……人心在此受到了试验。象圣经中的那个青年人一样,许多人忧忧愁愁地走了,因为他们不能既拥有自己的财富又有财宝在天上。……{HP301.2}[2]

It is God’s plan that riches should be used properly, distributed to bless the needy and to advance the work of God. If men love their riches better than they love their fellow men, better than they love God or the truths of His Word, if their hearts are on their riches, they cannot have eternal life.... Here souls are proved; and like the rich young man, many go away sorrowful because they cannot have their riches and a treasure in heaven too....{HP 301.2}[2]

“因为上帝凡事都能”(可10:27)。……上帝的灵灌输到心中的真理,会驱逐贪爱钱财的心。因为爱耶稣和爱钱财,不能住在同一颗心里。爱上帝的心如果压制了爱钱财的心,人便会挣脱自己的财富,把感情转移到上帝身上。他因着爱而受到引导为需要的人服务,并帮助上帝的圣工。他最大的喜乐就是正确地处理上帝的资产,不将之视为己有,而是以祂管家的身份,忠实的履行职责。……用这种方法,富人也能进入上帝的国。……{HP301.3}[3]

“With God all things are possible” (verse 27).... Truth, sent home to the heart by the Spirit of God, will crowd out the love of riches. The love of Jesus and the love of money cannot dwell in the same heart. The love of God so far surpasses the love of money that the possessor breaks away from his riches and transfers his affections to God. Through love he is then led to minister to the wants of the needy and to assist the cause of God. It is his highest pleasure to make a right disposition of his Lord’s goods. He holds all that he has as not his own, and faithfully discharges his duty as God’s steward.... In this way it is possible for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God....{HP 301.3}[3]

有些人虽从他们的富余中捐输,仍不感缺乏。他们没有为基督的圣工实行舍己。他们慷慨而热诚地捐输,却仍拥有心中想要的一切。上帝注意到这一点。祂严格地记下了行为和动机。他们不会失去他们的报酬。{HP301.4}[4]

Some give of their abundance, yet feel no lack. They do not practice self-denial for the cause of Christ. They give liberally and heartily, but they still have all that heart can wish. God regards it. The action and motive are strictly marked by Him, and they will not lose their reward.{HP 301.4}[4]

然而财物较少的人却不可因自己不如他人能大量捐献而推托。要做你所能做的。不要购买你能省下不买的东西。要为上帝的圣工作出牺牲。要象那个穷寡妇一样,将你的两个小钱献上。你所捐献的实际上比所有富裕的人合起来捐的还多。你也会明白,克己,施舍给穷人,为真理牺牲和积攒财宝在天上是多么甜蜜。{HP301.5}[5]

But those who have less means must not excuse themselves because they cannot do as much as some others. Do what you can. Deny yourself of some article you can do without and sacrifice for the cause of God. Like the poor widow, cast in your two mites. You will actually give more than all those who give of their abundance; and you will know how sweet it is to deny self, to give to the needy, to sacrifice for the truth, and to lay up treasure in heaven.32{HP 301.5}[5]
