彰显主基督-第321章
David Learns Through Hardship, November 16
彰显主基督-第321章
“大卫作以色列众人的王,又向众民秉公行义”(撒下8:15)。{RC334.1}
彰显主基督-第321章
And David reigned over all Israel; and David executed judgment and justice unto all his people. 2 Samuel 8:15. {RC 334.1}
彰显主基督-第321章
伯利恒离“大君的京城”耶路撒冷南边只有十几里路,耶西的儿子大卫就是在这里出世的。一千多年之后,耶稣降生在马槽里,博士从东方来朝拜祂,也是在此。在救主降世的好几个世纪之前,孩童大卫就在伯利恒四围的山地上看守羊群。这个天真烂漫的牧童歌唱他自己所编写的诗篇,并用琴弹出美妙的音乐伴奏着他那年青的歌声。耶和华已经拣选了大卫,而且在牧养羊群的孤寂生活中准备他,使他将来能胜任上帝所要委托他的工作。(PP.637){RC334.2}
彰显主基督-第321章
A few miles south of Jerusalem, “the city of the great King,” is Bethlehem, where David, the son of Jesse, was born more than a thousand years before the infant Jesus was cradled in the manger and worshiped by the Wise Men from the East. Centuries before the advent of the Saviour, David, in the freshness of boyhood, kept watch of his flocks as they grazed on the hills surrounding Bethlehem. The simple shepherd boy sang the songs of his own composing, and the music of his harp made a sweet accompaniment to the melody of his fresh young voice. The Lord had chosen David, and was preparing him, in his solitary life with his flocks, for the work He designed to commit to his trust in afteryears.—Patriarchs and Prophets, 637. {RC 334.2}
彰显主基督-第321章
大卫年轻时与扫罗十分亲密。他住在宫中,与王室接触,洞悉隐藏在荣华富贵之下的忧虑、不幸和艰难。他看到人的荣耀很难给人带来内心的平安。他在离开王宫回到羊圈和羊群中去的时候,心里是非常快乐舒畅的。{RC334.3}
彰显主基督-第321章
David in his youth was intimately associated with Saul, and his stay at court and his connection with the king’s household gave him an insight into the cares and sorrows and perplexities concealed by the glitter and pomp of royalty. He saw of how little worth is human glory to bring peace to the soul. And it was with relief and gladness that he returned from the king’s court to the sheepfolds and the flocks. {RC 334.3}
彰显主基督-第321章
大卫因扫罗的嫉妒而被迫逃亡到旷野。他没有任何人帮助,就更加依赖上帝。他过着漂泊无定的旷野生活,不断遭遇危险,常常需要逃命。投奔他的人都是“受窘迫的、欠债的、心里苦恼的”(撒上22:2),——这就使他更加需要严格的自律。{RC334.4}
彰显主基督-第321章
When by the jealousy of Saul driven a fugitive into the wilderness, David, cut off from human support, leaned more heavily upon God. The uncertainty and unrest of the wilderness life, its unceasing peril, its necessity for frequent flight, the character of the men who gathered to him there—“every one that was in distress, and every one that was in debt, and everyone that was discontented” (1 Samuel 22:2)—all rendered the more essential a stern self-discipline. {RC 334.4}
彰显主基督-第321章
这些经验激发和培养了他应付众人的能力。他同情被压迫的人,痛恨不公正的事。经过多年的期待和危难,大卫学会了在上帝里面获得安慰、帮助和生命。他知道只有靠着上帝的能力,才能得到王位;也只有靠着上帝的智慧,才能进行英明的统治。大卫之所以能达到空前的成就——虽然这成就因他后来的大罪而受到损害,——“向众民秉公行义”(撒下8:15),就是得益于他在艰苦和患难的学校中所经受的训练。(Ed152){RC334.5}
彰显主基督-第321章
These experiences aroused and developed power to deal with men, sympathy for the oppressed, and hatred of injustice. Through years of waiting and peril, David learned to find in God his comfort, his support, his life. He learned that only by God’s power could he come to the throne; only in His wisdom could he rule wisely. It was through the training in the school of hardship and sorrow that David was able to make the record—though afterward marred with his great sin—that he “executed judgment and justice unto all his people.”—Education, 152. {RC 334.5}
彰显主基督-第321章
那感动着他的慈爱,那环绕着他的忧伤,和那追随着他的胜利,──这一切都是他活泼的思想所充满的题旨;当他在自己生活的一切遭遇中看到上帝的爱时,他的心就涌出了更热烈的崇拜和感谢,他的口就唱出更富丽的歌曲,他的琴就奏出更欢乐的音调,于是这个牧童就力上加力,智上加智,因为有耶和华的灵在他身上。(PP.642.){RC334.6}
彰显主基督-第321章
The love that moved him, the sorrows that beset him, the triumphs that attended him, were all themes for his active thought; and as he beheld the love of God in all the providences of his life, his heart throbbed with more fervent adoration and gratitude, his voice rang out in a richer melody, his harp was swept with more exultant joy; and the shepherd boy proceeded from strength to strength, from knowledge to knowledge; for the Spirit of the Lord was upon him.—Patriarchs and Prophets, 642. {RC 334.6}
