Chapter 44—Self-denial
告青年书-第49章
耶稣虚己。祂所做的一切事情,都不炫耀自已。祂凡事顺从祂天父的旨意。当祂在地上的使命行将结束时,祂可以说:“我在地上已经荣耀祢;祢所托付我的事,我已成全了”(约17:40)。祂嘱咐我们:“我心里柔和谦卑;你们当……学我的样式。”“若有人要跟从我,就当舍己”(太11:29;16:24)。自我必须放弃,不再让它统治心灵。{MYP 162.1}[1]

Jesus emptied Himself, and in all that He did self did not appear. He subordinated all things to the will of His Father. When His mission on earth was about to close, He could say, “I have glorified Thee on the earth: I have finished the work which Thou gavest Me to do.” And He bids us, “Learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart.” “If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself”; let self be dethroned, and no longer hold the supremacy of the soul.{MYP 162.1}[1]
告青年书-第49章
凡仰望基督,看见祂克己谦卑的人,必像但以理在看见那位象人子者的时候一样,受到感动说:“我……面貌失色,毫无气力”(但10:8)。……争强好胜是人类的本性。但是向基督学习的人,必放弃自我,骄傲和好强之念,安下心来,让自我服从于圣灵的管理。我们不再追求名誉地位和出人头地,而把在我们救主的脚前作为我们最高的位置。我们仰望耶稣,等候祂圣手的引领,静听祂慈声的指导。使徒保罗曾有这样的经验。他说:“我已经与基督同钉十字架;现在活着的,不再是我,乃是基督在我里面活着;并且我如今在肉身活着,是因信上帝的儿子而活,祂是爱我,为我舍己”(加2:20)。——《山边宝训》30,31页{MYP 162.2}[2]
告青年书-第49章
He who beholds Christ in His self-denial, His lowliness of heart, will be constrained to say, as did Daniel when he beheld One like the sons of men, “My comeliness was turned in me into corruption.” ... Human nature is ever struggling for expression, ready for contest; but he who learns of Christ is emptied of self, of pride, of love of supremacy, and there is silence in the soul. Self is yielded to the disposal of the Holy Spirit. Then we are not anxious to have the highest place. We have no ambition to crowd and elbow ourselves into notice; but we feel that our highest place is at the feet of our Saviour. We look to Jesus, waiting for His hand to lead, listening for His voice to guide. The apostle Paul had this experience, and he said, “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave Himself for me.”—Thoughts From the Mount of Blessing, 14, 15.{MYP 162.2}[2]
