Wisdom That Fulfills God’s Purpose, May 24
彰显主基督-第145章
“敬畏耶和华是智慧的开端,认识至圣者便是聪明”(箴9:10)。{RC158.1}
彰显主基督-第145章
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. Proverbs 9:10. {RC 158.1}
彰显主基督-第145章
世人所有各种不同的天赋──心志,灵性和身体的良知良能──都是上帝所赋予,是要用来达到最高的程度的。但这不可成为一种自私和独占的教育;因我们所领受那与上帝相似的品格,乃是善良而慈爱的。创造主所赐给我们的每一种才能和禀赋,都是要用来荣耀上帝并造福同胞的。而且惟有这样作,才能得到最纯洁,最高尚,最幸福的收获。{RC158.2}
彰显主基督-第145章
All the varied capabilities that men possess—of mind and soul and body—are given them by God, to be so employed as to reach the highest possible degree of excellence. But this cannot be a selfish and exclusive culture; for the character of God, whose likeness we are to receive, is benevolence and love. Every faculty, every attribute, with which the Creator has endowed us is to be employed for His glory and for the uplifting of our fellow men. And in this employment is found its purest, noblest, and happiest exercise. {RC 158.2}

如果世人真能注意这种教育原理的重要性,则现行的教育方法必要有一种根本的改革。教师就不会引起青年人自私和骄傲的野心,来助长竞争的精神,却要企图引起爱好良善,真理和华美的心──引起追求至上美德的欲望。学生要竭力在自己身上发挥上帝的恩赐,并不是为要比别人好,乃是为要成全创造主的旨意,而领受祂的形象。他们就不至注意世俗的标准,或以显扬自己为动机,因为这种动机适足以使人心胸狭窄。他们的心志却要转向创造主,为要认识祂并变成祂的形象。……{RC158.3}

Were this principle given the attention which its importance demands, there would be a radical change in some of the current methods of education. Instead of appealing to pride and selfish ambition, kindling a spirit of emulation, teachers would endeavor to awaken the love of goodness and truth and beauty—to arouse the desire for excellence. The student would seek the development of God’s gifts in himself, not to excel others, but to fulfill the purpose of the Creator and to receive His likeness. Instead of being directed to merely earthly standards, or being actuated by the desire for self-exaltation, which in itself dwarfs and belittles, the mind would be directed to the Creator, to know Him and to become like Him.... {RC 158.3}
彰显主基督-第145章
人生的大前提乃是建造品格;一切真教育的基础乃是认识上帝。……上帝的律法就是祂品德的表现。因此,作诗的人说:“祢一切的命令尽都公义;”“我藉着祢的训词,得以明白”(诗119:172;104)。上帝已经在祂的圣言和祂创造的作为中,向我们显示祂自己。所以藉着圣灵所默示的书卷和大自然的课本,我们可以得到有关上帝的知识。{RC158.4}
彰显主基督-第145章
The great work of life is character building, and a knowledge of God is the foundation of all true education.... The law of God is a reflection of His character. Hence the psalmist says, “All thy commandments are righteousness”; and “through thy precepts I get understanding.” God has revealed Himself to us in His Word and in the works of creation. Through the volume of inspiration and the book of nature we are to obtain a knowledge of God. {RC 158.4}
彰显主基督-第145章
心理的一条定律乃是:人心必逐渐适应其所常注意的事物。如果人心中只思想一些庸俗的事,势必渐致窄小衰弱。如果人心一直不应付困难的问题,过不久就要失去生长的能力。就教育的效能而论,圣经是没有什么其他的书足与比拟的。在上帝的话中,人可以找到许多题旨来操练最深的思想并启发最高的希望。圣经是最富有教育性的一部历史。它是直接从永恒真理的泉源中流出来的。上帝的圣手曾在各世代中保守它的纯洁。(PP.595,596){RC158.4}
彰显主基督-第145章
It is a law of the mind that it gradually adapts itself to the subjects upon which it is trained to dwell. If occupied with commonplace matters only, it will become dwarfed and enfeebled. If never required to grapple with difficult problems, it will after a time almost lose the power of growth. As an educating power the Bible is without a rival. In the Word of God the mind finds subject for the deepest thought, the loftiest aspiration. The Bible is the most instructive history that men possess. It came fresh from the fountain of eternal truth, and a divine hand has preserved its purity through all the ages.—Patriarchs and Prophets, 595, 596. {RC 158.5}
