耶稣超乎万名之名-第242章
“义人呼求,耶和华听见了,便救他们脱离一切患难”(诗34:17)。JNN255.1
耶稣超乎万名之名-第242章
The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles.—Psalm 34:17{JNN 255.1}
耶稣超乎万名之名-第242章
救主开始传道工作的时候,一般人对于弥赛亚及其工作的先入之见,使他们无法接受祂。真敬虔的精神已消失在遗传和繁文缛节之中。预言的解释也是出自骄傲而贪爱世俗的心。犹太人所盼望的,并不是罪人的救主,而是一位大君,能使各国都臣服于犹大支派的狮子。施洗约翰曾带着古代先知感服人心的能力呼唤他们悔改,却是徒然。他曾在约但河边,指出耶稣是除去世人罪孽的上帝羔羊,却没有效果。上帝一直设法引导他们注意以赛亚所论救主受难的预言,他们却不肯听。JNN255.2
耶稣超乎万名之名-第242章
When the Saviour began His ministry, the popular conception of the Messiah and His work was such as wholly unfitted the people to receive Him. The spirit of true devotion had been lost in tradition and ceremonialism, and the prophecies were interpreted at the dictate of proud, world-loving hearts. The Jews looked for the coming One, not aaviour from sin, but areat prince who should bring all nations under the supremacy of the Lion of the tribe of Judah. In vain had John the Baptist, with the heart-searching power of the ancient prophets, called them to repentance. In vain had he, beside the Jordan, pointed to Jesus as the Lamb of God, that taketh away the sin of the world. God was seeking to direct their minds to Isaiah’s prophecy of the suffering Saviour, but they would not hear.{JNN 255.2}
耶稣超乎万名之名-第242章
如果以色列的教师和领袖接受了耶稣改变人心的恩典,祂就会使他们在世人中间作祂的代表。天国近了和悔改的恩召首先是在犹大地宣布的。耶稣从耶路撒冷的圣殿里赶出亵渎的人,就是宣布自己是弥赛亚。祂要清除人心灵的罪污,使祂的子民成为主的圣殿。可是犹太的领袖们不肯虚心接受这位卑微的拿撒勒教师。祂第二次访问耶路撒冷的时候,曾在公会前受到盘问。这些首领只因惧怕百姓,才不敢谋害祂。于是祂就离开犹大地,开始在加利利传道。JNN255.3
耶稣超乎万名之名-第242章
Had the teachers and leaders in Israel yielded to His transforming grace, Jesus would have made them His ambassadors among men and women. In Judea first the coming of the kingdom had been proclaimed, and the call to repentance had been given. In the act of driving out the desecrators from the temple at Jerusalem, Jesus had announced Himself as the Messiah—the One who should cleanse the soul from the defilement of sin and make His peoploly temple unto the Lord. But the Jewish leaders would not humble themselves to receive the lowly Teacher from Nazareth. At His second visit to Jerusalem He was arraigned before the Sanhedrin, and fear of the people alone prevented these dignitaries from trying to take His life. Then it was that, leaving Judea, He entered upon His ministry in Galilee.{JNN 255.3}

在发表山边宝训之前,耶稣已经在这里工作了好几个月。祂到处宣讲“天国近了”的信息(太4:17),引起了各阶层人士的注意,更点燃了他们奢望的火焰。这位新教师的名声已传到巴勒斯坦的境外。不管祭司阶层的态度如何,人们普遍认为,祂可能就是那位盼望已久的拯救者。(MB1-3)JNN255.4
耶稣超乎万名之名-第242章
His work there had continued some months before the Sermon on the Mount was given. The message He had proclaimed throughout the land, “The kingdom of heaven is at hand” (Matthew 4:17), had arrested the attention of all classes, and had still further fanned the flame of their ambitious hopes. The fame of the new Teacher had spread beyond the limits of Palestine, and, notwithstanding the attitude of the hierarchy, the feeling was widespread that this might be the hoped-for Deliverer.—Thoughts From the Mount of Blessing, 1-3.{JNN 255.4}
