彰显主基督-第303章
John’s Character Reflected Christ, October 29
彰显主基督-第303章
“不是我们爱上帝，乃是上帝爱我们，差祂的儿子为我们的罪作了挽回祭，这就是爱了。亲爱的弟兄啊，上帝既是这样爱我们，我们也当彼此相爱”（约壹4:10,11）。{RC316.1}
彰显主基督-第303章
Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. 1 John 4:10, 11. {RC 316.1}
彰显主基督-第303章
约翰在品格和生活上所表现信赖的爱心与无私的献身，对于基督教会有极宝贵的教训。约翰不是生来就具有他晚年经验所表现的可爱性格的。他天性上有许多严重的缺点。他不但骄傲自逞，贪图虚荣，而且性情急躁，一受亏损就怀恨在心。他和他哥哥二人被称为“雷子”。恶劣的癖性，报复的心理和论断人的习惯，这个蒙爱的门徒样样都有。但那一位神圣的教师看出，在这一切之下，约翰还有一颗热诚，真挚和仁爱的心。耶稣谴责了他的自私自利，挫折了他的奢望，并试验了他的信心。同时救主也向他启示了他心灵所渴慕的——圣洁的美，以及“爱”的改变人心的力量。……{RC316.2}
彰显主基督-第303章
The confiding love and unselfish devotion manifested in the life and character of John present lessons of untold value to the Christian church. John did not naturally possess the loveliness of character that his later experience revealed. By nature he had serious defects. He was not only proud, self-assertive, and ambitious for honor, but impetuous, and resentful under injury. He and his brother were called “sons of thunder.” Evil temper, the desire for revenge, the spirit of criticism, were all in the beloved disciple. But beneath all this the divine Teacher discerned the ardent, sincere, loving heart. Jesus rebuked his self-seeking, disappointed his ambitions, tested his faith. But He revealed to him that for which his soul longed—the beauty of holiness, the transforming power of love.... {RC 316.2}

基督的教训说明柔和、谦卑和慈爱，对于在恩典中长进和为主工作的资格都是不可缺少的。这教训对于约翰是非常有价值的。约翰把每一个教训都珍藏在心，并经常尽力使自己的生活能符合那神圣的模范。……他那夫子的教训铭刻在心。每当他为救主的恩典作见证时，他的言语虽然简单，却带有那充满着他整个身心的爱，是最能感动人的。{RC316.3}
彰显主基督-第303章
The lessons of Christ, setting forth meekness and humility and love as essential to growth in grace and a fitness for His work, were of the highest value to John. He treasured every lesson and constantly sought to bring his life into harmony with the divine pattern.... His Master’s lessons were graven on his soul. When he testified of the Saviour’s grace, his simple language was eloquent with the love that pervaded his whole being. {RC 316.3}
彰显主基督-第303章
约翰之所以时常愿望贴近基督身旁，乃是因为他深切地爱基督。救主对于十二个门徒都是爱的，但惟有约翰最能感受祂的爱。约翰比其他门徒年轻，所以他更能以孩子般的信靠，敞开心门，爱慕耶稣。这样，他就更能同情基督，而救主最深奥的属灵教训也就藉着他传给众人。{RC316.4}
彰显主基督-第303章
It was John’s deep love for Christ which led him always to desire to be close by His side. The Saviour loved all the Twelve, but John’s was the most receptive spirit. He was younger than the others, and with more of the child’s confiding trust he opened his heart to Jesus. Thus he came more into sympathy with Christ, and through him the Saviour’s deepest spiritual teaching was communicated to the people. {RC 316.4}
彰显主基督-第303章
耶稣极爱那些能以表显天父的人，而约翰比其他门徒更能生动地讲论天父的爱。他把自己心灵中所感觉到的爱显示给他的同胞，并在他的品格上表现上帝的特性。他的脸上焕发着主的荣光。那使他发生改变的圣洁之美，以一种基督化的光芒从他的面容上照耀出来。他以崇拜和敬爱的心瞻仰救主，直至同基督相像；与基督相交成了他唯一的愿望，于是他的品格就反映他夫子的品格（AA.539-545）{RC316.5}
彰显主基督-第303章
Jesus loves those who represent the Father, and John could talk of the Father’s love as no other of the disciples could. He revealed to his fellow men that which he felt in his own soul, representing in his character the attributes of God. The glory of the Lord was expressed in his face. The beauty of holiness which had transformed him shone with a Christlike radiance from his countenance. In adoration and love he beheld the Saviour until likeness to Christ and fellowship with Him became his one desire, and in his character was reflected the character of his Master.—The Acts of the Apostles, 539-545. {RC 316.5}
