The Value of Pain, December 9
彰显主基督-第344章
“我想现在的苦楚，若比起将来要显于我们的荣耀，就不足介意了”（罗8:18）。{RC357.1}
彰显主基督-第344章
For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. Romans 8:18. {RC 357.1}
彰显主基督-第344章
使徒约翰在逼迫之下的经验，对于基督徒有一个非常有力和安慰的教训。上帝并不阻止恶人的计谋，但祂限制他们的毒计，叫那些在试炼和斗争中仍然保持信仰与忠顺的人得到益处。传福音的工人往往必须在逼迫的风暴、苦毒的反对和不公平的侮辱之下进行工作。在这样的时候，他务要记住，在试炼和苦难的炉中所得的经验是值得付出一切痛苦代价的。上帝就是这样使祂的儿女就近祂，以便向他们显明他们的软弱和祂的力量。祂教训他们依赖祂，如此准备他们应付危机，充任负责的地位，并成全上帝赐给他们能力的崇高目的。{RC357.2}
彰显主基督-第344章
In the experience of the apostle John under persecution, there is a lesson of wonderful strength and comfort for the Christian. God does not prevent the plottings of wicked men, but He causes their devices to work for good to those who in trial and conflict maintain their faith and loyalty. Often the gospel laborer carries on his work amid storms of persecution, bitter opposition, and unjust reproach. At such times let him remember that the experience to be gained in the furnace of trial and affliction is worth all the pain it costs. Thus God brings His children near to Him, that He may show them their weakness and His strength. He teaches them to lean on Him. Thus He prepares them to meet emergencies, to fill positions of trust, and to accomplish the great purpose for which their powers were given them. {RC 357.2}
彰显主基督-第344章
历代以来，上帝所分派的见证人都曾为真理的缘故遭受侮辱和逼迫。约瑟曾因保持自己的贞洁和正直而遭受陷害和逼迫。上帝所拣选的使者大卫曾被他的仇敌追逐，象掠物被猛兽追逐一样。但以理因为效忠上天而被扔在狮子洞中。约伯曾丧失属世的一切财物，而且身受病患，以致他的亲友都加以憎厌；而他依然保持他的正直。{RC357.3}
彰显主基督-第344章
In all ages God’s appointed witnesses have exposed themselves to reproach and persecution for the truth’s sake. Joseph was maligned and persecuted because he preserved his virtue and integrity. David, the chosen messenger of God, was hunted like a beast of prey by his enemies. Daniel was cast into a den of lions because he was true to his allegiance to heaven. Job was deprived of his worldly possessions, and so afflicted in body that he was abhorred by his relatives and friends; yet he maintained his integrity. {RC 357.3}
彰显主基督-第344章
耶利米不能自禁，不能不讲上帝所吩咐他讲的话；结果他的见证激怒了君王和首领，以致被投在污秽的泥坑中。司提反因传讲基督并祂的钉十字架而被石头砍死。保罗因忠心为上帝作外邦人的使者而被监禁，被棍打，被石砍，最后被处死。约翰“为上帝的道，并为给耶稣作的见证”被放逐在拔摩岛上。{RC357.4}
彰显主基督-第344章
Jeremiah could not be deterred from speaking the words that God had given him to speak; and his testimony so enraged the king and princes that he was cast into a loathsome pit. Stephen was stoned because he preached Christ and Him crucified. Paul was imprisoned, beaten with rods, stoned, and finally put to death because he was a faithful messenger for God to the Gentiles. And John was banished to the Isle of Patmos “for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.” {RC 357.4}
彰显主基督-第344章
这些先贤忠贞的榜样，证明上帝一切应许的可靠——证明祂常与祂的仆人同在，并以恩惠支持他们。这些例子说明信心的力量足以抵御世上的一切权势。……{RC357.5}
彰显主基督-第344章
These examples of human steadfastness bear witness to the faithfulness of God’s promises—of His abiding presence and sustaining grace. They testify to the power of faith to withstand the powers of the world.... {RC 357.5}
彰显主基督-第344章
他们为那位比撒但更有能力的主作了见证。……藉着试炼和逼迫，上帝的荣耀──祂的品德──在祂所拣选的人身上显现出来了。那些被世人所恨恶所逼迫的基督信徒，乃是在基督的学校中受教育，受锻炼的。他们在地上行走在窄路上；他们是在苦难的炉中炼成纯洁的品格。（AA574-576）{RC357.6}
彰显主基督-第344章
They bore witness to the power of One mightier than Satan.... Through trial and persecution the glory—the character—of God is revealed in His chosen ones. The believers in Christ, hated and persecuted by the world, are educated and disciplined in the school of Christ. On earth they walk in narrow paths; they are purified in the furnace of affliction.—The Acts of the Apostles, 574-576. {RC 357.6}
