主必快来-第76章
“不可叫人小看你年轻,总要在言语、行为、爱心、信心、清洁上,都作信徒的榜样”(提前4:12)。
主必快来-第76章
Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. 1 Timothy 4:12. {Mar 83.1}
主必快来-第76章
天上至尊的耶稣,为青少年留下了榜样。祂在拿撒勒的工场里为日用的饮食劳碌。祂服从祂的双亲,并不企求支配自己的时间或随从自己的意愿。青少年若度随意放任的人生,无论是作为一个人还是作为一个基督徒,都不能达到真正的卓越。上帝并没有应许为祂服务可享受安逸,名望或财富;然而祂却向我们保证,所需要的一切福惠必定赐给我们,在今世要“受逼迫”,而在来世要享受“永生”。人若非全然献身于祂的服务,基督就决不会悦纳。这乃是我们每个人所必须学习的教训。……{Mar 83.1}
主必快来-第76章
Jesus, the Majesty of heaven, has left an example for the youth. He toiled in the workshop at Nazareth for His daily bread. He was subject to His parents, and sought not to control His own time or to follow His own will. By a life of easy indulgence a youth can never attain to real excellence as a man or as a Christian. God does not promise us ease, honor, or wealth in His service; but He assures us that all needed blessings will be ours, “with persecutions,” and in the world to come “life everlasting.” Nothing less than entire consecration to His service will Christ accept. This is the lesson which every one of us must learn.... {Mar 83.2}
主必快来-第76章
我们有显著的例证,说明坚定的宗教原则所具有的支持力。……那敞开的狮子洞,不能拦阻但以理的每日祈祷,烈火的窑也不能使沙得拉和他的同伴跪拜尼布甲尼撒所立的偶像。凡持守坚定原则的青少年,必远避娱乐,藐视痛苦,甚至敢冒狮子洞和烈火窑的危险,也不显示对上帝不忠。且注意约瑟的品格,美德虽受到严重的考验,但它的胜利却是完全的。这个高贵的青年在每一点上都经受了试验。在每一试炼上,这同一高尚不屈的原则都表现出来了。主与他同在,祂的话就是律法。(5T 42,43){Mar 83.2}
主必快来-第76章
We have marked illustrations of the sustaining power of firm, religious principle.... The gaping lions’ den could not keep Daniel from his daily prayers, nor could the fiery furnace induce Shadrach and his companions to fall down before the idol which Nebuchadnezzar set up. Young men who have firm principles will eschew pleasure, defy pain, and brave even the lions’ den and the heated fiery furnace rather than be found untrue to God. Mark the character of Joseph. Virtue was severely tested, but its triumph was complete. At every point the noble youth endured the test. The same lofty, unbending principle appeared at every trial. The Lord was with him, and His word was law.31 {Mar 83.3}
主必快来-第76章
那些研究圣经,求问上帝,依赖基督的人,必能随时随地聪明行事。良好的原则必在实际的生活中证明出来。唯有真诚地接受现代真理,并使之成为品格的基础,它才会产生坚定的意志。这种意志是娱乐的引诱、习尚的变易、爱世界之辈的藐视、以及自我放纵的内心呼喊,都无力影响的。良知必须先蒙启迪,意志也必须予以驯服。对真理和公义的爱,必须在人心中占统治地位,然后,才会显露出一种天庭所赞许的品格来。(5T 43){Mar 83.3}
主必快来-第76章
Those who study the Bible, counsel with God, and rely upon Christ will be enabled to act wisely at all times and under all circumstances. Good principles will be illustrated in actual life. Only let the truth for this time be cordially received and become the basis of character, and it will produce steadfastness of purpose, which the allurements of pleasure, the fickleness of custom, the contempt of the world-loving, and the heart’s own clamors for self-indulgence are powerless to influence. Conscience must be first enlightened, the will must be brought into subjection. The love of truth and righteousness must reign in the soul, and a character will appear which heaven can approve.32 {Mar 83.4}
