Wise or Foolish? February 15
主必快来-第47章
“那时,天国好比十个童女拿着灯,出去迎接新郎。其中有五个是愚拙的,五个是聪明的”(太25:l,2)。
主必快来-第47章
Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. Matthew 25:1, 2. {Mar 54.1}
主必快来-第47章
我们没有显出凭据来证明自己符合基督的形像,同时又坚持自己的旧习惯,用属世观念和做法的纤维来编自己的织物,就不可认定自己既为教会成员就已经得救。……{Mar 54.1}
主必快来-第47章
We are not to rest in the idea that because we are church-members we are saved, while we give no evidence that we are conformed to the image of Christ, while we cling to our old habits, and weave our fabric with the threads of worldly ideas and customs.... {Mar 54.2}
主必快来-第47章
十个童女是世界历史行将结束时的等候者。她们都自称为基督徒,有同样的呼召,名称和灯,都自称在为上帝服务。她们看上去都在等候基督的显现。但是其中有五个人没有预备好。这五个人将要仓皇失措,被撇弃在宴会厅之外。……{Mar 54.2}
主必快来-第47章
The ten virgins are watching in the evening of this earth’s history. All claim to be Christians. All have a call, a name, a lamp, and all claim to be doing God’s service. All apparently watch for His appearing. But five are wanting. Five will be found surprised, dismayed, outside the banquet hall.21 {Mar 54.3}
主必快来-第47章
这些聪明的和愚拙的童女代表我们。许多人不愿留在耶稣的脚前,学祂的样式。他们不认识祂的作为;也没有为祂的降临作准备。他们假装在等候自己的主人。他们没有本着那生发仁爱以致洁净心灵的信心警醒祷告。他们所度的是粗心大意的生活。他们已经听见而且赞同真理,但始终没有将它施用于实际生活之中。恩典的油并没有满注在他们的灯盏之内。他们也没有预备妥当好参赴羔羊的婚筵。……{Mar 54.3}
主必快来-第47章
We are represented either by the wise or by the foolish virgins. There are many who will not remain at the feet of Jesus, and learn of Him. They have not a knowledge of His ways; they are not prepared for His coming. They have made a pretense of waiting for their Lord. They have not watched and prayed with that faith which works by love and purifies the soul. They have lived a life of carelessness. They have heard and assented to the truth, but they have never brought it into their practical life. The oil of grace is not feeding their lamps, and they are not prepared to enter into the marriage supper of the Lamb.22 {Mar 54.4}
主必快来-第47章
决不可象那些愚拙的童女那样,以为上帝的应许当然是属于她们的,同时却不顺从基督的命令。基督教训我们,单凭口说是没有用的。祂说:“若有人要跟从我,就当舍己,天天背起他的十字架,来跟从我”(路9:23)。……{Mar 54.4}
主必快来-第47章
Be not like the foolish virgins, who take for granted that the promises of God are theirs, while they do not follow the injunctions of Christ. Christ teaches us that profession is nothing. “If any man will come after me,” He says, “let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.” ... {Mar 54.5}
主必快来-第47章
当我们在精炼洁净的过程中经受上帝的考验的时候,当炉火将渣滓烧尽,业已炼净之品格真金出现的时候,我们可以与保罗同说:“这不是说我已经得着了,已经完全了;我乃是竭力追求。……我只有一件事,就是忘记背后、努力面前的,向着标竿直跑,要得上帝在基督里耶稣里从上面召我来得的奖赏”(腓3:12-14)。(RH.1899.10.31.){Mar 54.5}
主必快来-第47章
When we stand the test of God in the refining, purifying process; when the furnace fire consumes the dross, and the true gold of a purified character appears, we may still say, with Paul, “Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after.... This one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” 23 {Mar 54.6}
