十二月十一日在试炼下谦卑
彰显主基督-第346章
Meekness Under Trial, December 11
彰显主基督-第346章
“并且那在主里的弟兄，多半因我受的捆锁，就笃信不疑，越发放胆传上帝的道，无所惧怕”（腓1:14）。{RC359.1}
彰显主基督-第346章
Because of my chains, most of the brothers in the Lord have been encouraged to speak the word of God more courageously and fearlessly. Philippians 1:14, N.I.V. {RC 359.1}
彰显主基督-第346章
保罗的榜样鼓舞了其他基督徒以更大的能力维护保罗所退出的公共布道事业。保罗的捆锁就这样发挥了有力的影响，以致正当他的能力和用处似乎割断，他显然不能有所贡献时，他却能在那似乎完全与世隔离的地区为基督收集禾捆。{RC359.2}
彰显主基督-第346章
By his [Paul’s] example, Christians were impelled to greater energy as advocates of the cause from the public labors of which Paul had been withdrawn. In these ways were the apostle’s bonds influential, so that when his power and usefulness seemed cut off, and to all appearance he could do the least, then it was that he gathered sheaves for Christ in fields from which he seemed wholly excluded. {RC 359.2}
彰显主基督-第346章
在那两年的监禁届满之前，保罗能这样说：“我受的捆锁，在御营全军，和其余的人中，已经显明是为基督的缘故；”在那些附笔问候腓立比信徒的人中，他特别提到“凯撒家里的人”（腓1:13；4:22）。{RC359.3}
彰显主基督-第346章
Before the close of that two years’ imprisonment, Paul was able to say, “My bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and in all other places” (Philippians 1:13), and among those who sent greetings to the Philippians he mentions chiefly them “that are of Caesar’s household” (chap. 4:22). {RC 359.3}
彰显主基督-第346章
忍耐和勇敢同样是可以得到胜利的。在试炼下的温柔和在工作上的勇气，一样可以领人归向基督。基督徒在被弃和受苦之下所表现忍耐和愉快的精神，甚至于以平安和镇定的精神应付死亡，来表示毫不动摇之信心，这样为福音所成就的事可能比他终生忠心工作的成就更大。往往当上帝的仆人退出工作岗位时，我们短小的眼光不明白其中的奥秘，反要为之悲哀，而上帝的旨意却要藉此成就一番其他方法所决不能成就的工作。{RC359.4}
彰显主基督-第346章
Patience as well as courage has its victories. By meekness under trial, no less than by boldness in enterprise, souls may be won to Christ. The Christian who manifests patience and cheerfulness under bereavement and suffering, who meets even death itself with the peace and calmness of an unwavering faith, may accomplish for the gospel more than he could have effected by a long life of faithful labor. Often when the servant of God is withdrawn from active duty, the mysterious providence which our shortsighted vision would lament is designed by God to accomplish a work that otherwise would never have been done. {RC 359.4}
彰显主基督-第346章
基督的门徒切莫认为:当他不能再为上帝和祂的真理公开而积极作工时，他就不能再有什么贡献，也不能再得什么报赏。基督的忠实见证人决不会被弃而不用的。或健康或患病，或生或死，上帝总是能使用他们的。当基督的仆人因撒但的毒恨而遭受迫害，所进行的工作受到拦阻时，当他们被下在监里，最后被拖到断头台或火刑柱时，就是真理将得到更大胜利的时候。当这些忠心的人用自己的鲜血印证他们的信仰时，一些原来犹疑不定的人就必信服他们的真诚。从殉道者的尸灰中竟为上帝的真理生长了丰富的庄稼。……{RC359.5}
彰显主基督-第346章
Let not the follower of Christ think, when he is no longer able to labor openly and actively for God and His truth, that he has no service to render, no reward to secure. Christ’s true witnesses are never laid aside. In health and sickness, in life and death, God uses them still. When through Satan’s malice the servants of Christ have been persecuted, their active labors hindered, when they have been cast into prison, or dragged to the scaffold or to the stake, it was that truth might gain a greater triumph. As these faithful ones sealed their testimony with their blood, souls hitherto in doubt and uncertainty were convinced of the faith of Christ and took their stand courageously for Him. From the ashes of the martyrs has sprung an abundant harvest for God.... {RC 359.5}
彰显主基督-第346章
保罗和他的同仁尽可以辩解，要尼禄的臣仆悔改相信基督必是徒然的。……但保罗并没有这样设想。他凭着信心把福音传给这些人，在听他的人中居然有人决意顺从，任何代价均所不惜，无论有多少障碍和危险，他们总是愿意接受真光；并靠上帝的帮助，把他们的光照耀在别人身上。（AA.464-466）{RC359.6}
彰显主基督-第346章
The apostle and his associate workers might have argued that it would be vain to call to repentance and faith in Christ the servants of Nero.... But Paul did not reason thus; in faith he presented the gospel to these souls, and among those who heard were some who decided to obey at any cost. Notwithstanding obstacles and dangers, they would accept the light, and trust God to help them let their light shine forth to others.—The Acts of the Apostles, 464-466. {RC 359.6}
