十一月六日亚伯拉罕毫无疑问的顺从
彰显主基督-第311章
Abraham’s Unquestioning Obedience, November 6
彰显主基督-第311章
“耶和华对亚伯兰说：‘你要离开本地、本族、父家，往我所要指示你的地去。我必叫你成为大国。我必赐福给你，叫你的名为大；你也要叫别人得福’”（创12:1,2）。{RC324.1}
彰显主基督-第311章
The Lord said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing. Genesis 12:1, 2. {RC 324.1}
彰显主基督-第311章
上帝拣选亚伯拉罕作祂的使者，藉着他将光传给世人。上帝的话临到他，并非提示在今生享受高薪厚禄、伟大声望与属世尊荣等等使人欣羡的期望。“你要离开本地，……往我所要指示你的地去”（创12:1）。这就是临到亚伯拉罕的神圣信息。先祖顺从了，就“遵命出去，往将来要得为业的地方去；出去的时候，还不知往哪里去”（来11:8），作为上帝的擎光者，要在地上保存祂的圣名。他撇下了自己的本国，本家，亲族和他早年各种悦人心意的交际，而成了寄居的客旅。……在被上帝使用之前，亚伯拉罕必须和他原先结交的人分开，以致不受人的影响力所左右，或信赖人的帮助。他既与上帝联系上了，从此就必须居住在陌生人中间。他的品格必须与全世界的人迥然有别。他甚至不能向他的朋友们解释自己的行动，好使他们理解，因他们都是拜偶像者。只有属灵的人才能看透属灵的事；所以他的动机和他的行为，都不是他的亲族和朋友们所能了解的。{RC324.2}
彰显主基督-第311章
God selected Abraham as His messenger through whom to communicate light to the world. The word of God came to him, not with the presentation of flattering prospects in this life of large salary, of great appreciation and worldly honor. “Get thee out of thy country ... unto a land that I will shew thee” was the divine message to Abraham. The patriarch obeyed, and “went out, not knowing whither he went,” as God’s light bearer, to keep His name alive in the earth. He forsook his country, his home, his relatives, and all pleasant associations connected with his early life, to become a pilgrim and a stranger.... Before God can use him, Abraham must be separated from his former associations, that he may not be controlled by human influence or rely upon human aid. Now that he has become connected with God, this man must henceforth dwell among strangers. His character must be peculiar, differing from all the world. He could not even explain his course of action so as to be understood by his friends, for they were idolaters. Spiritual things must be spiritually discerned; therefore his motives and his actions were beyond the comprehension of his kindred and friends. {RC 324.2}
彰显主基督-第311章
亚伯拉罕毫无疑问的顺从，是圣经中所显示的一个信心与倚靠上帝的最感人的例证。单凭着关于他后裔将占有迦南地的应许，而全无其它可见的证据，他就跟从上帝到祂要领到之地，完全而且真诚地履行所有的条件，确信主必定守信不渝，成全祂的诺言。无论上帝指示先祖在何处有当尽的义务，他都应命前往；他经过旷野荒郊，心中毫无恐惧；他居住在拜偶像的国度里，只有一个想法：“上帝已经说了，我正在听从祂的声音，祂必定引导，祂必定保护我。”{RC324.3}
彰显主基督-第311章
Abraham’s unquestioning obedience was one of the most striking instances of faith and reliance upon God to be found in the Sacred Record. With only the naked promise that his descendants should possess Canaan, without the least outward evidence, he followed on where God should lead, fully and sincerely complying with the conditions on his part, and confident that the Lord would faithfully perform His word. The patriarch went wherever God indicated his duty; he passed through wildernesses without terror; he went among idolatrous nations, with the one thought: “God has spoken; I am obeying His voice; He will guide, He will protect me.” {RC 324.3}
彰显主基督-第311章
亚伯拉罕这样的信心和倚靠正是上帝今日的使者所需要的。但有许多主原可使用的人不肯前进，听从众声之上的那个声音。……祂的仆人们若是将自己全然献给他，认为替祂服务的价值，远超越亲属的关系和其它属世的交谊，主就必为他们施行更多的大事。（4T.523，524）{RC324.4}
彰显主基督-第311章
Just such faith and confidence as Abraham had the messengers of God need today. But many whom the Lord could use will not move onward, hearing and obeying the one Voice above all others.... The Lord would do much more for His servants if they were wholly consecrated to Him, esteeming His service above the ties of kindred and all other earthly associations.—Testimonies for the Church 4:523, 524. {RC 324.4}
