崇高的恩召-第352章
“那杀身体不能杀灵魂的,不要怕他们;惟有能把身体和灵魂都灭在地狱里的,正要怕他”(太10:28)。{OHC 357.1}[1]
崇高的恩召-第352章
And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.Matthew 10:28.{OHC 357.1}[1]
崇高的恩召-第352章
但以理为信徒树立了榜样,说明承认基督的意义。他在巴比伦王国担任首相的职务。一些大臣妒忌他,想找一些把柄在王面前控告他。但他是一位忠诚的政治家。他们无法在他的品格或生活中找到过错。……于是他们集体来见国王,要求王下一条禁令,在三十日内,不论何人若在王以外,向任何神或人求什么,就会被扔在狮子坑里。{OHC 357.2}[2]
崇高的恩召-第352章
Daniel is an example to believers as to what it means to confess Christ. He held the responsible position of prime minister in the kingdom of Babylon, and there were those who were envious of Daniel among the great men of the court, and they wanted to find something against him that they might bring an accusation against him to the king. But he was a faithful statesman, and they could find no flaw in his character or life.... So they agreed together to ask the king to make a decree that no one should ask any petition of any God or man for thirty days save of the king, and if any disobeyed this decree, he was to be cast into the den of lions.{OHC 357.2}[2]

但以理有没有因为这道法令就要生效而停止祈祷呢?——没有!那正是祂需要祈祷的时候。……但以理并不设法隐瞒他对上帝的忠诚。他不是在心里默祷,而是扬声祷告,他的窗户开向耶路撒冷,他向上天献上自己的请求。于是他的敌人们就向王抱怨,但以理便被丢进狮子坑里。然而上帝的儿子却在那里。……及至王清早来呼叫说:“永生上帝的仆人但以理啊,你所常侍奉的上帝能救你脱离狮子吗?但以理对王说:愿王万岁!我的上帝差遣使者,封住狮子的口,叫狮子不伤我”(但6:20-22)。……{OHC 357.3}[3]
崇高的恩召-第352章
But did Daniel cease to pray because this decree was to go into force? No, that was just the time when he needed to pray.... Daniel did not seek to hide his loyalty to God. He did not pray in his heart, but with his voice, aloud, with his window open toward Jerusalem, he offered up his petition to heaven. Then his enemies made their complaint to the king, and Daniel was thrown into the den of lions. But the Son of God was there.... When the king came in the morning, and called, “O Daniel, servant of the living God, is thy God, whom thou servest continually, able to deliver thee from the lions? Then said Daniel unto the king, O king, live for ever. My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions’ mouths, that they have not hurt me.”Daniel 6:20-22....{OHC 357.3}[3]

我们可以知道自己的生命有没有与基督一同藏在上帝里面。当我们因信仰的缘故受审的时候,耶稣必与我们同在。当我们被带到统治者与政要面前为我们的信仰辩护时,耶和华的灵会启迪我们的悟性,使我们能作见证荣耀上帝。当我们因基督的缘故受苦时,我们可以凭着信心步入监狱,如同孩子信赖父母那样信任祂。现在正是我们培养对上帝信心的时候。(RH.1892.5.3){OHC 357.4}[4]
崇高的恩召-第352章
We may know that if our life is hid with Christ in God, when we are brought into trial because of our faith, Jesus will be with us. When we are brought before rulers and dignitaries to answer for our faith, the Spirit of the Lord will illuminate our understanding, and we shall be able to bear a testimony to the glory of God. And if we are called to suffer for Christ’s sake, we shall be able to go to prison trusting in Him as a little child trusts in its parents. Now is the time to cultivate faith in God.42{OHC 357.4}[4]
