Be Ready for the Coming of Christ, September 1
彰显主基督-第245章
“等候所盼望的福，并等候至大的上帝和我们救主耶稣基督的荣耀显现。祂为我们舍了自己，要赎我们脱离一切罪恶，又洁净我们，特作自己的子民，热心为善”（多2:13,14）。{RC258.1}
彰显主基督-第245章
Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. Titus 2:13, 14. {RC 258.1}
彰显主基督-第245章
圣经劝勉我们要在今世自守，公义，敬虔度日，等候至大的上帝和我们救主耶稣基督的荣耀显现。有人反对我的工作，因为我教训说，我们的责任是等候基督亲自驾天云显现。他们说：“听怀夫人关于基督复临的讲论，总让人觉得主来的日子迫在眉睫。在过去四十年时间里，她一直在传讲这个题目，但主仍没有来。”{RC258.2}
彰显主基督-第245章
This scripture teaches a very different lesson from that which is presented in the words of many who profess to believe the gospel. We are exhorted to live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world, and to look for the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ. Some have made an objection to my work, because I teach that it is our duty to be looking for Christ’s personal appearing in the clouds of heaven. They have said, “You would think that the day of the Lord was right upon us to hear Mrs. White speak in reference to the coming of Christ; and she has been preaching on that same subject for the last forty years, and the Lord has not yet come.” {RC 258.2}

这种异议实质上就是反对主自己的话。祂曾亲口对蒙爱的门徒说：“是的，我必快来”。约翰回答说：“主耶稣啊，我愿你来”（启22：20）。基督说这些话，是对祂子民的警告和鼓励，我们为什么不听从呢？主说过，忠心的人将警醒等候祂。不忠心的仆人则说：“我的主人必来得迟”，就动手打他的同伴，又与醉酒的人一同吃喝（太24：48-50）。{RC258.3}
彰显主基督-第245章
This very objection might have been brought against the words of Christ Himself. He said by the mouth of the beloved disciple, “Behold, I come quickly,” and John responds, “Even so, come, Lord Jesus.” Jesus spoke these words as words of warning and encouragement to His people; and why should we not heed them? The Lord has said that it is the faithful who will be found watching and waiting for Him. It was the unfaithful servant who said, “My Lord delayeth his coming,” and began to smite his fellow servants, and eat and drink with the drunken. {RC 258.3}

基督复临的准确时间并没有启示。耶稣说：“那日子，那时辰，没有人知道”（太24：36）。但祂已告诉我们祂来的预兆，说：“你们看见这一切的事，就知道人子近了，正在门口了”（太24：33）。鉴于这些事，使徒写道：“弟兄们，你们却不在黑暗里，叫那日子临到你们像贼一样”（帖前5：4）。我们既不知道基督来临的时辰，就必须在今世自守，敬虔度日，“等候所盼望的福，并等候至大的上帝和我们救主耶稣基督的荣耀显现”（多2：12，13）。{RC258.4}
彰显主基督-第245章
The exact time of Christ’s second coming is not revealed. Jesus said, No man knoweth the day nor the hour. But He also gave signs of His coming, and said, “When ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.” He bade them, as the signs of His coming should appear, “Look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.” And in view of these things the apostle wrote: “Ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day.” Since we know not the hour of Christ’s coming, we must live soberly and godly in this present world, “Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ.” ... {RC 258.4}

祂的子民应当保持自己作祂代表的特色。他们每一个人都有工作要做。他们如果要成为上帝有效的同工，富人就要奉献自己的钱财，有名望的人要发挥自己的影响，有学问的人要拿出自己的智慧，穷人要呈现他们的美德。他们要与上帝建立正确的关系，反映照在耶稣基督面上的上帝荣耀的光。……他们要警告世人将要来临的审判。他们要在世人面前代表基督。（ST.1889.6.24）{RC258.5}
彰显主基督-第245章
His people are to preserve their peculiar character as His representatives. There is work for every one of them to do. The rich should bring their means, the honored their influence, the learned their wisdom, the poor their virtue, if they would be effective workers with God. They are to bring themselves into right relation with God, that they may reflect the light of the glory of God that shines in the face of Jesus Christ.... They are to warn men of the coming judgments. They are to represent Christ to the people.—The Signs of the Times, June 24, 1889. {RC 258.5}
