The Spirituality of the Law, February 22
彰显主基督-第54章
“莫想我来要废掉律法和先知。我来不是要废掉,乃是要成全”(太5:17)。{RC67.1}
彰显主基督-第54章
I am not come to destroy the law, but to fulfil. Matthew 5:17. {RC 67.1}
彰显主基督-第54章
基督曾在西奈山的雷声火焰中颁布律法。上帝的荣耀像熊熊的烈火降在山顶上。山就因主的临格而震撼。以色列的群众俯伏于地,怀着畏惧的心,静听律法的神圣训令。……{RC67.2}
彰显主基督-第54章
It was Christ who, amid thunder and flame, had proclaimed the law upon Mount Sinai. The glory of God, like devouring fire, rested upon its summit, and the mountain quaked at the presence of the Lord. The hosts of Israel, lying prostrate upon the earth, had listened in awe to the sacred precepts of the law.... {RC 67.2}
彰显主基督-第54章
当初颁布律法的时候,以色列人因长期在埃及为奴而堕落了,所以需要体验上帝的权能与威严。但祂仍向他们显示自己是一位慈爱的上帝。……{RC67.3}
彰显主基督-第54章
When the law was given, Israel, degraded by the long bondage in Egypt, had need to be impressed with the power and majesty of God; yet He revealed Himself to them no less as a God of love.... {RC 67.3}
彰显主基督-第54章
西奈山上所颁布的律法,宣布了爱的原则,向世界展示了天国的律法。这律法是经一位中保的手而制定的。颁布律法的主有能力使人的心与律法的原则相和谐。当上帝向以色列民宣布说“你们要在我面前为圣洁的人”时(出22:31),祂就显明了律法的宗旨。{RC67.4}
彰显主基督-第54章
The law given upon Sinai was the enunciation of the principle of love, a revelation to earth of the law of heaven. It was ordained in the hand of a Mediator—spoken by Him through whose power the hearts of men could be brought into harmony with its principles. God had revealed the purpose of the law when He declared to Israel, “Ye shall be holy men unto me” (Exodus 22:31). {RC 67.4}
彰显主基督-第54章
可是以色列人并没有领会律法的属灵意义。他们所自称的顺从,往往只是形式和礼节上的遵守,而不是从内心接受爱的统治。当耶稣以祂的品德和行为向世人表显上帝的圣洁,仁爱和慈父般的性情,说明单单仪式上的顺从没有什么价值时,犹太人的领袖们都没有接受或理解祂的话。他们认为祂过于轻视律法的要求。而当祂向他们阐明他们神圣礼节的核心真理时,他们因只看到外表,就指责祂企图推翻律法了。{RC67.5}
彰显主基督-第54章
But Israel had not perceived the spiritual nature of the law, and too often their professed obedience was but an observance of forms and ceremonies, rather than a surrender of the heart to the sovereignty of love. As Jesus in His character and work represented to men the holy, benevolent, and paternal attributes of God, and presented the worthlessness of mere ceremonial obedience, the Jewish leaders did not receive or understand His words. They thought that He dwelt too lightly upon the requirements of the law; and when He set before them the very truths that were the soul of their divinely appointed service, they, looking only at the external, accused Him of seeking to overthrow it. {RC 67.5}
彰显主基督-第54章
基督说话的态度虽然安详,却带着能打动听众之心的诚恳与力量。他们原以为又会听到拉比们那种毫无生气的遗传和苛条,结果却没有听到。他们“都希奇祂的教训,因为祂教训他们,正像有权柄的人,不像他们的文士”(太7:29)。法利赛人注意到基督教训人的方式与他们完全不同。他们看到真理的威严,纯洁与优美,连同其深刻而柔和的感化力,正在紧紧抓住许多人的心。救主神圣的慈爱与温柔吸引众人的心归向祂。……{RC67.6}
彰显主基督-第54章
The words of Christ, though calmly spoken, were uttered with an earnestness and power that stirred the hearts of the people.... They “were astonished at his teaching: for he taught them as one having authority, and not as their scribes” (Matthew 7:28, 29, R.V.). The Pharisees noted the vast difference between their manner of instruction and that of Christ. They saw that the majesty and purity and beauty of the truth, with its deep and gentle influence, was taking firm hold upon many minds. The Saviour’s divine love and tenderness drew the hearts of men to Him.... {RC 67.6}
彰显主基督-第54章
救主从来没有说什么话,来动摇人们对于藉着摩西所赐之宗教和制度的信仰。因为那位以色列的伟大领袖所传给他百姓的每一线神圣亮光,都是从基督那里来的。正当许多人在心里说,祂来要废掉律法时,耶稣以清晰无误的语气,表明了祂对于神圣律法的态度。祂说:“莫想我来要废掉律法和先知。”(MB.45-48){RC67.7}
彰显主基督-第54章
The Saviour said nothing to unsettle faith in the religion and institutions that had been given through Moses; for every ray of divine light that Israel’s great leader communicated to his people was received from Christ. While many are saying in their hearts that He has come to do away with the law, Jesus in unmistakable language reveals His attitude toward the divine statutes. “Think not,” He said, “that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets.”—Thoughts From the Mount of Blessing, 45-48. {RC 67.7}
