Elisha Demonstrates Steadfastness, November 18
彰显主基督-第323章
“以利亚对以利沙说：‘耶和华差遣我往约但何去，你可以在这里等候。’以利沙说：‘我指着永生的耶和华，又敢在你面前起誓，我必不离开你’”（王下2:6）。{RC336.1}
彰显主基督-第323章
And Elijah said unto him [Elisha], Tarry, I pray thee, here; for the Lord hath sent me to Jordan. And he said, As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. 2 Kings 2:6. {RC 336.1}
彰显主基督-第323章
先知以利沙早年在乡村的静穆生活中，接受上帝与大自然的教训和实用工作的训练。在几乎普遍背道的时期，他的父家列在那些未曾向巴力屈膝的人中。他们的家庭是尊敬上帝，又是以忠于职责为日常生活的准则的。以利沙作为一个富裕农民的儿子，负起了近在身边的工作。他虽具有作领袖的才干，却仍接受人生普通职责的训练。为了对人作出聪明的指导，他必须学会顺从。以利沙在小事上忠心，就预备好担任更重大的责任。{RC336.2}
彰显主基督-第323章
The early years of the prophet Elisha were passed in the quietude of country life, under the teaching of God and nature and the discipline of useful work. In a time of almost universal apostasy his father’s household were among the number who had not bowed the knee to Baal. Theirs was a home where God was honored and where faithfulness to duty was the rule of daily life. {RC 336.2}
彰显主基督-第323章
以利沙一面具有安静温和的精神，一面具有刚强坚定的特性。他怀着敬爱上帝的心，在日常卑微的操劳中，获得坚强的意志和高尚的品格，不断地在上帝的恩典和知识上有长进。当他在家庭生活的本分上与他父亲合作时，他就是在学习与上帝合作。{RC336.3}
彰显主基督-第323章
The son of a wealthy farmer, Elisha had taken up the work that lay nearest. While possessing the capabilities of a leader among men, he received a training in life’s common duties. In order to direct wisely, he must learn to obey. By faithfulness in little things, he was prepared for weightier trusts. Of a meek and gentle spirit, Elisha possessed also energy and steadfastness. He cherished the love and fear of God, and in the humble round of daily toil he gained strength of purpose and nobleness of character, growing in divine grace and knowledge. While cooperating with his father in the home duties, he was learning to cooperate with God. {RC 336.3}
彰显主基督-第323章
以利沙蒙召作先知，乃是在他与父亲的仆人一同耕地的时候。当以利亚蒙上帝指示去寻找一个继承人，将自己的外衣搭在这个青年人肩上的时候，以利沙认清并顺从了这呼召，“就起身跟随以利亚服事他”（王上19:21）。以利沙起先奉命所作的并不是什么伟大的工作；他的训练仍是一些普通的事务。圣经论到他说：他是“倒水在以利亚手上的”（王下3:11）。他作为先知的侍从，继续在小事上表现忠心。他的志向既日趋坚强，他就奉献自己担任上帝所指派他的使命。………{RC336.4}
彰显主基督-第323章
The prophetic call came to Elisha while with his father’s servants he was plowing in the field. As Elijah, divinely directed in seeking a successor, cast his mantle upon the young man’s shoulders, Elisha recognized and obeyed the summons. He “went after Elijah, and ministered unto him” (1 Kings 19:21). It was no great work that was at first required of Elisha; commonplace duties still constituted his discipline. He is spoken of as pouring water on the hands of Elijah, his master. As the prophet’s personal attendant, he continued to prove faithful in little things, while with daily strengthening purpose he devoted himself to the mission appointed him by God.... {RC 336.4}
彰显主基督-第323章
在他准备要跟从以利亚的时候，先知吩咐他先回家。以利沙必须计算代价，──自行决定接受或拒绝这呼召。但是以利沙明白自己机会的宝贵。他没有因任何属世的利益而错过作上帝使者的机会，或牺牲与上帝仆人同工的特权。{RC336.5}
彰显主基督-第323章
As he turned to follow Elijah he was bidden by the prophet to return home. He must count the cost—decide for himself to accept or reject the call. But Elisha understood the value of his opportunity. Not for any worldly advantage would he forgo the possibility of becoming God’s messenger, or sacrifice the privilege of association with His servant. {RC 336.5}
彰显主基督-第323章
后来以利亚准备升天了，以利沙也准备好作他的继承人。他的信心和决心又一次受到了考验。他陪同以利亚巡视各处，知道不久后即将发生变化。每到一处，先知总是请他回去。……先知每次要以利沙回去，以利沙总是回答说：“我指着永生的耶和华，又敢在你面前起誓，我必不离开你”（王下2:2）。……以利沙早年在上帝指导下所受的训练，正是准备他从事这项工作。（Ed58-61）{RC336.6}
彰显主基督-第323章
As time passed, and Elijah prepared for translation, so Elisha was prepared to become his successor. And again his faith and resolution were tested. Accompanying Elijah in his round of service, ... he was at each place invited by the prophet to turn back.... As often as the invitation to turn back was given, his answer was, “As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee” (2 Kings 2:2).... For this work Elisha’s early training under God’s direction had prepared him.—Education, 58-61. {RC 336.6}
