Love Was That of a Repentant Sinner, March 19
彰显主基督-第79章
“亲爱的弟兄啊,我们应当彼此相爱,因为爱是从上帝来的。凡有爱心的,都是由上帝而生,并且认识上帝”(约壹4:7)。{RC92.1}
彰显主基督-第79章
Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 1 John 4:7. {RC 92.1}
彰显主基督-第79章
使徒约翰与其他使徒有别,他乃是“耶稣所爱的”门徒(约21:20)。他的性格既不胆怯、软弱或动摇,又具有和蔼可亲的脾气和一颗温暖的爱心。他似乎是享受了基督的友谊到了非常的程度。他也多方面得到救主的信任和慈爱。他是蒙准在变像的山上看见基督的荣耀,并在客西马尼园看见祂惨痛的三个门徒之一。当救主在十字架上受苦的最后时辰中,那受托照顾主母亲的,也就是这个约翰。{RC92.2}
彰显主基督-第79章
The apostle John was distinguished above his brethren as “the disciple whom Jesus loved.” While not in the slightest degree cowardly, weak, or vacillating in character, he possessed an amiable disposition and a warm, loving heart. He seemed to have enjoyed, in a preeminent sense, the friendship of Christ, and he received many tokens of the Saviour’s confidence and love. He was one of the three permitted to witness Christ’s glory upon the mount of transfiguration and His agony in Gethsemane; and to the care of John our Lord confided His mother in those last hours of anguish upon the cross. {RC 92.2}
彰显主基督-第79章
耶稣所爱的门徒约翰以全副的精力和热诚的献身来报答救主对他的爱。约翰依恋于基督,正如葡萄树依附于雄伟的支柱一样。他为夫子的缘故冒险到审判厅去,并留连于十字架下。及至他听见基督已经复活的消息,他就赶紧跑到坟墓去,在热烈的情绪之下竟追过了急性的彼得。{RC92.3}
彰显主基督-第79章
The Saviour’s affection for the beloved disciple was returned with all the strength of ardent devotion. John clung to Christ as the vine clings to the stately pillar. For his Master’s sake he braved the dangers of the judgment hall and lingered about the cross; and at the tidings that Christ had risen, he hastened to the sepulcher, in his zeal outstripping even the impetuous Peter. {RC 92.3}
彰显主基督-第79章
约翰对他夫子的爱不只是人的情谊,而是一位悔改的罪人因感受到蒙基督宝血所救赎而产生的爱。他觉得为主服务效劳和受苦乃是最大的尊荣。他因爱耶稣而爱一切基督所代死的人。他的宗教具有实际的性质。他分析说,爱上帝的心会表现在爱祂的儿女上。“我们爱,因为上帝先爱我们。人若说,我爱上帝,却恨他的弟兄,就是说谎话的;不爱他所能看见的弟兄,就不能爱没有看见的上帝”(19,20节)。使徒约翰的生活是与他的教训相符的。{RC92.4}
彰显主基督-第79章
John’s love for his Master was not a mere human friendship, but it was the love of a repentant sinner, who felt that he had been redeemed by the precious blood of Christ. He esteemed it the highest honor to work and suffer in the service of his Lord. His love for Jesus led him to love all for whom Christ died. His religion was of a practical character. He reasoned that love to God would be manifested in love to His children. “We love him, because he first loved us. If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?” (1 John 4:19, 20). The apostle’s life was in harmony with his teachings. {RC 92.4}
彰显主基督-第79章
那蕴藏在他心中对于基督的爱,使他诚恳而恒切地为同胞,尤其是为基督教会内的弟兄作工。……{RC92.5}
彰显主基督-第79章
The love which glowed in his heart for Christ, led him to put forth the most earnest, untiring labor for his fellow men, especially for his brethren in the Christian church.... {RC 92.5}
彰显主基督-第79章
约翰希望变成耶稣的样式。在基督之爱改变人心的影响力之下,他变得心里柔和谦卑。自我藏在耶稣里面。他与活葡萄树紧密相连,从而与上帝的性情有份。这是与基督联合的结果,是真正的成圣。(SL.53-55){RC92.6}
彰显主基督-第79章
John desired to become like Jesus, and under the transforming influence of the love of Christ, he became meek and lowly of heart. Self was hid in Jesus. He was closely united to the Living Vine, and thus became a partaker of the divine nature. Such will ever be the result of communion with Christ. This is true sanctification.—The Sanctified Life, 53-55. {RC 92.6}
