Abraham’s Example as a Father, June 28
彰显主基督-第180章
“我眷顾他,为要叫他吩咐他的众子和他的眷属遵守我的道,秉公行义,使我所应许亚伯拉罕的话都成就了”(创18:19)。{RC193.1}
彰显主基督-第180章
I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the Lord, to do justice and judgment; that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him. Genesis 18:19. {RC 193.1}
彰显主基督-第180章
关于亚伯拉罕,经上记着说:“他又得称为上帝的朋友,”“叫他作一切……信之人的父”(雅2:23;罗4:11)。上帝为这位忠心的先祖作见证说:“都因亚伯拉罕听从我的话,遵守我的吩咐,和我的命令,律例,法度。”又说:“我眷顾他,为要叫他吩咐他的众子,和他的眷属,遵守我的道,秉公行义,使我所应许亚伯拉罕的话都成就了”(创26:5;18:19)。亚伯拉罕所得的福分是非常光荣的。他竟能作世世代代在世上维护并保存上帝真理之子民的始祖──所应许的弥赛亚要从这些子民中出来,使地上的万国都因祂得福。{RC193.2}
彰显主基督-第180章
Of Abraham it is written that “he was called the Friend of God” (James 2:23), “the father of all them that believe” (Romans 4:11). The testimony of God concerning this faithful patriarch is “Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws” (Genesis 26:5).... It was a high honor to which Abraham was called, that of being the father of the people who for centuries were the guardians and preservers of the truth of God for the world—of that people through whom all the nations of the earth should be blessed in the advent of the promised Messiah. {RC 193.2}
彰显主基督-第180章
而且那召选先祖的一位断定他是配得这光荣的。说话的乃是上帝。那从远处知道人的意念并正确地判断人心的主说:“我眷顾他。”同时在亚伯拉罕一方面,他也决不会因自私的目的而辜负他所得的真理。他必定遵守律法,秉公行义。而且他不但自己敬畏耶和华,还要在自己家中培养宗教的信仰。他必要教导家里的人行在公义中。上帝的律法必要作他治家的南针。{RC193.3}
彰显主基督-第180章
But He who called the patriarch judged him worthy. It is God that speaks. He who understands the thoughts afar off, and places the right estimate upon men, says, “I know him.” There would be on the part of Abraham no betraying of the truth for selfish purposes. He would keep the law and deal justly and righteously. And he would not only fear the Lord himself, but would cultivate religion in his home. He would instruct his family in righteousness. The law of God would be the rule in his household. {RC 193.3}
彰显主基督-第180章
亚伯拉罕全家的人口计有一千余名。凡受他教训而敬拜独一真神的人都得在他的帐棚之间安家。这里正像一所学校,他们都可领受教育,准备作真信仰的代表。所以亚伯拉罕负有非常重大的责任。他正在训练一些家长。他的治家之法将要在这些家长治理的家庭时实行出来。……{RC193.4}
彰显主基督-第180章
Abraham’s household comprised more than a thousand souls. Those who were led by his teachings to worship the one God found a home in his encampment; and here, as in a school, they received such instruction as would prepare them to be representatives of the true faith. Thus a great responsibility rested upon him. He was training heads of families, and his methods of government would be carried out in the households over which they should preside.... {RC 193.4}
彰显主基督-第180章
亚伯拉罕尽己所能,千方百计地防止他家里的人与异教的人接触,不看他们拜偶像的行为;因为他知道他们若与邪恶亲近,就必不知不觉地败坏信仰。所以他用尽心机抵制各式各样的假宗教,并使人心中印刻着永生上帝的威严和荣耀作为敬拜的目标。……{RC193.5}
彰显主基督-第180章
Abraham sought, by every means in his power, to guard the inmates of his encampment against mingling with the heathen and witnessing their idolatrous practices, for he knew that familiarity with evil would insensibly corrupt the principles. The greatest care was exercised to shut out every form of false religion and to impress the mind with the majesty and glory of the living God as the true object of worship.... {RC 193.5}
彰显主基督-第180章
亚伯拉罕极爱他的子女和眷属,所以随时注意他们的宗教信仰,将上帝律法的知识传给他们。这是他所能留给他们并由他们传给世人的最宝贵的产业。他教导众人,使他们知道他们是在天上上帝的管理之下,并说明为父母的不可压制儿女,为儿女的不可违背父母。上帝的律法已经指定各人的本分。无论何人,只有顺从上帝的律法,才能得到幸福或昌盛。(PP.140-142){RC193.6}
彰显主基督-第180章
Abraham’s affection for his children and his household led him to guard their religious faith, to impart to them a knowledge of the divine statutes, as the most precious legacy he could transmit to them, and through them to the world. All were taught that they were under the rule of the God of heaven. There was to be no oppression on the part of parents, and no disobedience on the part of children. God’s law had appointed to each his duties, and only in obedience to it could any secure happiness or prosperity.—Patriarchs and Prophets, 140-142. {RC 193.6}
