耶稣超乎万名之名-第109章
“惟有基督在我们还作罪人的时候为我们死,上帝的爱就在此向我们显明了(罗5:8)。JNN118.1
耶稣超乎万名之名-第109章
But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.—Romans 5:8{JNN 118.1}
耶稣超乎万名之名-第109章
一个人可能忽略了埋藏财宝的地方。他可能有急切的需要,却坐在树底下休息,不知道财宝就埋在树根那里。犹太人就是这样。真理犹如黄金曾交托给希伯来人。基督曾亲自设立了带有天国印记的犹太教制度。救赎的伟大真理隐藏在表号和象征中。但是当基督来临的时候,犹太人却没有认出祂是一切表号所指的实体。他们手里虽然有上帝的圣言,但是一代一代流传下来的遗传,以及人对圣经的解释,遮蔽了耶稣里的真理,使他们看不见。他们认识不到圣经的属灵意义。一切知识的宝库虽向他们敞开,他们却不知道。JNN118.2
耶稣超乎万名之名-第109章
A man might pass over the place where treasure had been concealed. In dire necessity he might sit down to rest at the foot oree, not knowing of the riches hidden at its roots. So it was with the Jews. Aolden treasure, truth had been entrusted to the Hebrew people. The Jewish economy, bearing the signature of Heaven, had been instituted by Christ Himself. In types and symbols the great truths of redemption were veiled. Yet when Christ came, the Jews did not recognize Him to whom all these symbols pointed. They had the word of God in their hands; but the traditions which had been handed down from generation to generation, and the human interpretation of the Scriptures, hid from them the truth as it is in Jesus. The spiritual import of the sacred writings was lost. The treasure house of all knowledge was open to them, but they knew it not.{JNN 118.2}

上帝并没有向人隐藏祂的真理。人却因自己的行为而看不清真理。基督曾向犹太人提供大量的凭据,证明祂就是弥赛亚。但是祂的教训要求在他们生活上彻底地改变。他们知道如果要接受基督,就得放弃他们所热衷的教条和遗传,以及他们自私和不敬虔的行为。要接受永恒不变的真理,需要作出牺牲。因此他们不肯承认上帝为使他们相信基督而赐的最明确的证据。他们自称相信旧约圣经,却不肯接受圣经对基督的生活和品德所作的见证。他们唯恐自己相信之后,就不得不悔改而放弃原有的观点。福音的财富,那为“道路、真理、生命”的,正在他们中间,他们却拒绝了天国最大的恩赐。JNN118.3
耶稣超乎万名之名-第109章
God does not conceal His truth from human beings. By their own course of action they make it obscure to themselves. Christ gave the Jewish people abundant evidence that He was the Messiah; but His teaching called foecided change in their lives. They saw that if they received Christ, they must give up their cherished maxims and traditions, their selfish, ungodly practices. It requireacrifice to receive changeless, eternal truth. Therefore they would not admit the most conclusive evidence that God could give to establish faith in Christ. They professed to believe the Old Testament Scriptures, yet they refused to accept the testimony contained therein concerning Christ’s life and character. They were afraid of being convinced lest they should be converted and be compelled to give up their preconceived opinions. The treasure of the gospel, the Way, the Truth, and the Life, was among them, but they rejected the greatest gift that Heaven could bestow.{JNN 118.3}
耶稣超乎万名之名-第109章
圣经说:“官长中却有好些信祂的;只因法利赛人的缘故,就不承认,恐怕被赶出会堂”(约12:42)。他们信服了,相信耶稣是上帝的儿子,可是他们如果承认祂,就有违于他们的野心。(COL104-106)JNN118.4
耶稣超乎万名之名-第109章
“Among the chief rulers also many believed on Him,” we read; “but because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue” (John 12:42). They were convinced; they believed Jesus to be the Son of God; but it was not in harmony with their ambitious desires to confess Him.—Christ’s Object Lessons, 104-106.{JNN 118.4}
