十一月二十二日耶稣指示我们怎样生活

Jesus Showed Us How to Live, November 22

“然而我蒙了怜悯，是因耶稣基督要在我这罪魁身上显明祂一切的忍耐，给后来信祂得永生的人作榜样”（提前1:16）。{RC340.1}

I received mercy for this reason, that in me, ... Jesus Christ might display his perfect patience for an example to those who were to believe in him for eternal life. 1 Timothy 1:16, R.S.V. {RC 340.1}

祂是一位教师，是世界上前所未见或前所未闻的一位教育者。祂说话象一个有权柄的人，可是祂却请求众人的信赖：“凡劳苦担重担的人，可以到我这里来，我就使你们得安息。我心里柔和谦卑，你们当负我的轭，学我的样式，这样，你们心里就必得享安息。因为我的轭是容易的，我的担子是轻省的”（太11:28-30）。{RC340.2}

He [Jesus] was a teacher, such an educator as the world never saw or heard before. He spake as one having authority, and yet He invites the confidence of all. “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light” (Matthew 11:28-30). {RC 340.2}

无穷上帝的独生子，已经用祂的话和祂的实际行动，给我们留下了可以遵循的朴素榜样。藉着祂的话，祂教育我们服从上帝；藉着祂自己的行为，祂向我们说明我们怎样才能服从上帝。祂要求每一个人都做这样工作，理智地服从上帝，用教训和榜样教导别人，怎样做才能成为上帝顺命的儿女。{RC340.3}

The only-begotten Son of the infinite God has, by His words, His practical example, left us a plain pattern which we are to copy. By His words He has educated us to obey God, and by His own practice He has showed us how we can obey God. This is the very work He wants every man to do, to obey God intelligently, by precept and example teach others what they must do in order to be obedient children of God. {RC 340.3}

耶稣已帮助全世界明白祂的神圣使命和工作。祂来是向我们的世界表现上帝的品德。我们研究耶稣基督的生活、言语和工作时，就在接受顺从上帝的教育中获得各方面的帮助。我们效法祂赐给我们的榜样时，就成了活的书信，被众人所了解所念诵。我们是向世界彰显耶稣基督品格的人。{RC340.4}

Jesus has helped the whole world to an intelligent knowledge of His divine mission and work. He came to represent the character of the Father to our world, and as we study the life, the words, and works of Jesus Christ, we are helped in every way in the education of obedience to God; and as we copy the example He has given us, we are living epistles known and read of all men. We are the living human agencies to represent in character Jesus Christ to the world. {RC 340.4}

基督不仅给我们明确的规定，指示我们如何成为孝顺的儿女，还用祂自己的生活和品格，指示我们怎样做那些正确的、可蒙上帝悦纳的事。所以我们毫无理由原谅自己为什么不能做那些在上帝眼中看为喜悦的事。……{RC340.5}

Not only did Christ give explicit rules showing how we may become obedient children, but He showed us in His own life and character just how to do those things which are right and acceptable with God, so there is no excuse why we should not do those things which are pleasing in His sight.... {RC 340.5}

大教师来到我们世上，要作人类的首领，使人类得到提高和成圣，用祂对上帝一切要求的圣洁顺从，说明遵守上帝的一切诫命是可能的。祂证明毕生顺从是可以做到的。因此，像天父把儿子赐给世界一样，祂也将所拣选作祂代表的人赐给世界，用他们的生活体现耶稣基督的生活。（Manuscript1892.1）{RC340.6}

The great Teacher came to our world to stand at the head of humanity, to thus elevate and sanctify humanity by His holy obedience to all of God’s requirements, showing it is possible to obey all the commandments of God. He has demonstrated that a lifelong obedience is possible. Thus He gives chosen, representative men to the world, as the Father gave the Son, to exemplify in their life the life of Jesus Christ.—Manuscript 1, 1892. {RC 340.6}

我们完美的理想在祂身上实现。为了说明这个理想是人们所应达到的唯一真标准，说明每一个人所能实现的程度，说明凡接受祂的人藉着神性寓于人性而能达到的地步，基督来到了世上。祂来告诉人如何接受训练，成为上帝的儿女；如何在地上实行原则，过天国的生活。（Ed73,74.）{RC340.7}

In Him was found the perfect ideal. To reveal this ideal as the only true standard for attainment; to show what every human being might become; what, through the indwelling of humanity by divinity, all who received Him would become—for this, Christ came to the world. He came to show how men are to be trained as befits the sons of God; how on earth they are to practice the principles and to live the life of heaven.—Education, 73, 74. {RC 340.7}
