彰显主基督-第349章
“亲爱的弟兄啊，有火炼的试验临到你们，不要以为奇怪，……倒要欢喜；因为你们是与基督一同受苦，使你们在祂荣耀显现的时候，也可以欢喜快乐”（彼前4:12,13）。{RC362.1}
彰显主基督-第349章
Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you.... But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. 1 Peter 4:12, 13. {RC 362.1}
彰显主基督-第349章
彼得以先知的慧眼展望到基督教会所面临危险的日子，便劝勉众信徒要在试验和痛苦之下坚持谨守。他写道：“亲爱的弟兄啊，有火炼的试验临到你们，不要以为奇怪。”{RC362.2}
彰显主基督-第349章
Looking forward with prophetic vision to the perilous times into which the church of Christ was to enter, the apostle [Peter] exhorted the believers to steadfastness in the face of trial and suffering. “Beloved,” he wrote, “think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you.” {RC 362.2}
彰显主基督-第349章
考验乃是基督学校中的一门功课，其目的在于提炼上帝的儿女，为他们炼净一切属世的渣滓。上帝的儿女之所以遭遇艰苦的经验，正是因为他们有上帝带领他们的路。考验和障碍乃是祂所用以锻炼人的方法，也是祂所指定使人成功的条件。{RC362.3}
彰显主基督-第349章
Trial is part of the education given in the school of Christ, to purify God’s children from the dross of earthliness. It is because God is leading His children that trying experiences come to them. Trials and obstacles are His chosen methods of discipline, and His appointed conditions of success. {RC 362.3}
彰显主基督-第349章
鉴察人心的主对于每一个人的弱点，远比那人自己所能看见的更为清楚。祂看出某些人所具有的资格可以在正确的指导之下用来推进祂的圣工。于是由于天意的安排，祂使这些人落到不同的处境和种种情况之中，使他们可以看出一些他们过去所没有注意的缺点。上帝给他们弥补这些缺点的机会，以便准备为祂服务。祂时常让患难的火焰继续焚烧，使他们成为洁净。{RC362.4}
彰显主基督-第349章
He who reads the hearts of men knows their weaknesses better than they themselves can know them. He sees that some have qualifications which, if rightly directed, could be used in the advancement of His work. In His providence He brings these souls into different positions and varied circumstances, that they may discover the defects that are concealed from their own knowledge. He gives them opportunity to overcome these defects and to fit themselves for service. Often He permits the fires of affliction to burn, that they may be purified. {RC 362.4}
彰显主基督-第349章
上帝对于祂产业的照顾是不息不倦的。祂所容许临到祂儿女的每一个患难，都是他们今生和永久的利益所不可或少的。祂一定要洁净祂的教会，像基督在地上传道时洁净圣殿一样。凡祂所加在祂百姓身上的考验与试炼，都是为要帮助他们得到更深的虔诚和更大的力量，去推广十字架的胜利。{RC362.5}
彰显主基督-第349章
God’s care for His heritage is unceasing. He suffers not affliction to come upon His children but such as is essential for their present and eternal good. He will purify His church, even as Christ purified the temple during His ministry on earth. All that He brings upon His people in test and trial comes that they may gain deeper piety and greater strength to carry forward the triumphs of the cross. {RC 362.5}
彰显主基督-第349章
在彼得的经验中，他曾经一度不愿意在基督的工作上看到一个十字架。当救主向门徒说明祂所面临的苦难和死亡时，彼得惊叹说：“主啊！万不可如此！这事必不临到祢身上”（太16:22）。彼得之所以劝阻基督，乃是出于自怜，不愿与基督一同受苦的心理。这个门徒难以领会的艰苦教训乃是：基督在地上的道路必须经过痛苦与屈辱。但他终于在考验的火焰中学会了这个教训。这时，他那本来活泼的身体已经因多年的辛劳而老态龙钟了，但他能以写道：“亲爱的弟兄啊！有火炼的试验临到你们，不要以为奇怪，（似乎是遭遇非常的事）倒要欢喜；因为你们是与基督一同受苦，使你们在祂荣耀显现的时候，也可以欢喜快乐。”（AA.524,525）{RC362.6}
彰显主基督-第349章
There had been a time in Peter’s experience when he was unwilling to see the cross in the work of Christ. When the Saviour made known to the disciples His impending sufferings and death, Peter exclaimed, “Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee” (Matthew 16:22). Self-pity, which shrank from fellowship with Christ in suffering prompted Peter’s remonstrance. It was to the disciple a bitter lesson, and one which he learned but slowly, that the path of Christ on earth lay through agony and humiliation. But in the heat of the furnace fire he was to learn its lesson. Now, when his once-active form was bowed with the burden of years and labors, he could write, “Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you.... But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings.”—The Acts of the Apostles, 524, 525. {RC 362.6}
