Discipline Prepares Youth for High Destiny, September 22
彰显主基督-第266章
“智慧必入你心,你的灵要以知识为美,谋略必护卫你,聪明必保守你”(箴2:10-11)。{RC279.1}
彰显主基督-第266章
When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul; discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee. Proverbs 2:10, 11. {RC 279.1}
彰显主基督-第266章
今日和以色列人的时代一样,每一个青年人都当在实际生活的本分上受到教训。人人都当学会一种手艺,为了在必要时藉以谋生。这不但在生活变迁时有所保障,而且在身体,心智和道德的发展上也是必要的。即使一个人确知他绝无靠手艺糊口的必需,他仍旧应当学习工作。人若没有身体方面的操练,就不能有坚强的体格和充沛的健康,而且有规律的工作对于获得健全活泼的心志和高尚的品格乃是一样重要的。……{RC279.2}
彰显主基督-第266章
Now, as in the days of Israel, every youth should be instructed in the duties of practical life. Each should acquire a knowledge of some branch of manual labor by which, if need be, he may obtain a livelihood. This is essential, not only as a safeguard against the vicissitudes of life, but from its bearing upon physical, mental, and moral development. Even if it were certain that one would never need to resort to manual labor for his support, still he should be taught to work. Without physical exercise, no one can have a sound constitution and vigorous health; and the discipline of well-regulated labor is no less essential to the securing of a strong and active mind and a noble character.... {RC 279.2}
彰显主基督-第266章
青年人务要明白他们是为什么受造的──就是要尊荣上帝并造福同胞;他们务要看出天上的父向他们所显示的亲切的爱和今生的训练所要预备他们去达到的崇高命分——他们蒙召所得的尊贵和光荣,就是成为上帝的儿子,──这样,千万人就要以鄙弃和厌恶的心情,转离那曾一度吸引他们的低下和自私的目的,以及无谓的享乐。他们必要渐渐恨恶并远避罪恶,不但是出于希望赏赐或惧怕刑罚的心,而也是由于罪恶本身之可憎;-──因为它必减低他们天赐的能力,并污损他们按上帝的形象而造成的人格。。{RC279.3}
彰显主基督-第266章
Let the youth be led to understand the object of their creation, to honor God and bless their fellow men; let them see the tender love which the Father in heaven has manifested toward them, and the high destiny for which the discipline of this life is to prepare them, the dignity and honor to which they are called, even to become the sons of God, and thousands would turn with contempt and loathing from the low and selfish aims and the frivolous pleasures that have hitherto engrossed them. They would learn to hate sin and to shun it, not merely from hope of reward or fear of punishment, but from a sense of its inherent baseness, because it would be a degrading of their God-given powers, a stain upon their Godlike manhood.... {RC 279.3}
彰显主基督-第266章
上帝并没有吩咐青年人不可怀有大志。那使一个人得到成功并在人间得尊荣的品格因素──就是那追求更大良善的不可抑制的愿望,不屈不挠的意志,发奋的努力和不倦的坚忍──是不可予以扑灭的。藉着上帝的恩典,我们务要指引他们走向高尚的目标。这些目标高过单单自私和属世的利益,犹如天高过地一般。{RC279.4}
彰显主基督-第266章
The elements of character that make a man successful and honored among men—the irrepressible desire for some greater good, the indomitable will, the strenuous exertion, the untiring perseverance—are not to be crushed out. By the grace of God they are to be directed to objects as much higher than mere selfish and temporal interests as the heavens are higher than the earth. {RC 279.4}
彰显主基督-第266章
而且那在今生所开始的教育,必要在来生继续下去。那时,上帝奇妙的工作,祂创造并维持宇宙的智慧和能力的凭据,以及祂在救赎计划上所显示的慈爱智慧无穷的奥秘,必要天天以新的荣美展开在人面前。……就是在今世,我们也可以隐约看见祂圣颜的光辉,也可以预享与上天交通的喜乐;但充分的喜乐和福惠,则有待于来生方能享受。惟有永恒的将来,才能显明人类恢复了上帝的形象之后所能达到的光荣命分。(PP.601,602){RC279.5}
彰显主基督-第266章
And the education begun in this life will be continued in the life to come. Day by day the wonderful works of God, the evidences of His wisdom and power in creating and sustaining the universe, the infinite mystery of love and wisdom in the plan of redemption, will open to the mind in new beauty.... Even in this life we may catch glimpses of His presence and may taste the joy of communion with heaven, but the fullness of its joy and blessing will be reached in the hereafter. Eternity alone can reveal the glorious destiny to which man, restored to God’s image, can attain.—Patriarchs and Prophets, 601, 602. {RC 279.5}
