Light Bearers on the Way to Heaven, November 5
一同在天上-第311章
“使你们无可指摘,诚实无伪,在这弯曲悖谬的世代,作上帝无瑕疵的儿女。你们显在这世代中,好象明光照耀”(腓2:15)。{HP316.1}[1]

That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world.Philippians 2:15.{HP 316.1}[1]

历代以来,那住“在他们心里基督的灵”(彼前1:11),曾使上帝的真儿女成为当时代人的光。约瑟曾在埃及作擎光者,以他的纯洁,仁慈和孝顺,在一个拜偶像的国家中表显了基督。当以色列民离开埃及前往应许之地的时候,他们中间忠顺的人也作了周围列国的光。通过他们,上帝向世人显示出来。从巴比伦的但以理和他的朋友身上,从波斯的末底改的身上,都有灿烂的光辉发出来,照亮了宫廷的黑暗。{HP316.2}[2]

In all ages the “Spirit of Christ which was in them” has made God’s true children the light of the people of their generation. Joseph was a light bearer in Egypt. In his purity and benevolence and filial love he represented Christ in the midst of a nation of idolaters. While the Israelites were on their way from Egypt to the promised land the truehearted among them were a light to the surrounding nations. Through them God was revealed to the world. From Daniel and his companions in Babylon, and from Mordecai in Persia, bright beams of light shone out amid the darkness of the kingly courts.{HP 316.2}[2]

同样,基督的门徒也奉命在天路上作擎光者。天父的怜悯与良善要通过他们,显示给被误解上帝的黑暗所笼罩的世界。别人因看见他们的好行为,就将荣耀归给在天上的父。这表明有一位上帝坐在宇宙的宝座上。祂的品德是值得称颂与效法的。内心所燃烧的上帝之爱,生活中所显示的基督化和谐,在世人的眼光中,就像瞥见了天国。……世人在注视着那些自称为基督徒的人究竟结出什么果子。那些自称相信先进真理的人,理应表现出来克已牺牲的精神。……{HP316.3}[3]

In like manner the disciples of Christ are set as light bearers on the way to heaven; through them the Father’s mercy and goodness are made manifest to a world enshrouded in the darkness of misapprehension of God. By seeing their good works, others are led to glorify the Father, who is above; for it is made manifest that there is a God on the throne of the universe whose character is worthy of praise and imitation. The divine love glowing in the heart, the Christlike harmony manifested in the life, are as a glimpse of heaven granted to men of the world.... The world watches to see what fruit is borne by professed Christians. It has a right to look for self-denial and self-sacrifice from those who claim to believe advanced truth....{HP 316.3}[3]

上帝命定祂的工作必须用明晰而圣洁的方法传给世人,祂希望祂的子民在生活上表现出基督教之优于世俗。祂施恩为我们预备一切,使我们在各项事务的办理上,显出天庭的原理是超越于世间的原理。我们要显明自己所从事的工作,是较比世人的更高超。在一切的事上,我们应显示出纯洁的品格,表明人接受及顺从了真理,就可成为上帝的儿女,天上大君的子民,在他们的处事上都是诚实忠直的,对于人生的微小事件,也正象重大的事件一样,均以忠贞,诚实,正直为本。{HP316.4}[4]
一同在天上-第311章
God has ordained that His work shall be presented to the world in distinct, holy lines. He desires His people to show by their lives the advantage of Christianity over worldliness. By His grace every provision has been made for us in all our transaction of business to demonstrate the superiority of heaven’s principles over the principles of the world. We are to show that we are working upon a higher plane than that of worldliness. In all things we are to manifest purity of character, to show that the truth received and obeyed makes the receivers sons and daughters of God, children of the heavenly King, and that as such they are honest in their dealings, faithful, true, and upright in the small as well as the great things of life.8{HP 316.4}[4]
