耶稣超乎万名之名-第314章
“祂在万有之先,万有也靠祂而立”(西1:17)。JNN330.1
耶稣超乎万名之名-第314章
And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.—Colossians 1:17{JNN 330.1}
耶稣超乎万名之名-第314章
众门徒在耶稣呼召他们参加祂工作的时候,都有严重的错误。连那位与柔和谦卑之主最亲近的约翰,也不是生来就是温柔谦让的。他和他的弟兄被人称为“雷子”。他们与耶稣同在的时候,只要有人对耶稣表示轻视的态度,就会激起他们的愤恨和抗拒。坏脾气,报仇心,好批评,这一切在耶稣所爱的门徒心里样样俱全。他很骄傲,又有野心,要在上帝的国中占首位。但他天天看见耶稣那种慈爱容忍的态度,又听见祂谦卑和忍耐的教训,正与自己暴燥的脾气形成对比,他就打开心门,领受了神力的感化,不但听救主的话,而且实行祂的教训。自我隐藏在基督里面。他学会了负基督的轭,挑祂的担子。JNN330.2
耶稣超乎万名之名-第314章
All the disciples had serious faults when Jesus called them to His service. Even John, who came into closest association with the meek and lowly One, was not himself naturally meek and yielding. He and his brother were called “the sons of thunder.” While they were with Jesus, any slight shown to Him aroused their indignation and combativeness. Evil temper, revenge, the spirit of criticism, were all in the beloved disciple. He was proud, and ambitious to be first in the kingdom of God. But day by day, in contrast with his own violent spirit, he beheld the tenderness and forbearance of Jesus, and heard His lessons of humility and patience. He opened his heart to the divine influence, and became not onlearer buoer of the Saviour’s words. Self was hid in Christ. He learned to wear the yoke of Christ and to bear His burden.{JNN 330.2}

耶稣常责备祂的门徒。祂也常警告并劝诫他们。但约翰和他的弟兄没有离开祂。他们虽受种种的申斥,但仍旧跟从耶稣。救主也没有因为他们的软弱过失而离开他们。他们分担耶稣的艰难,并学习祂生活上所给予他们的教训,一直到底。他们因为瞻仰耶稣,就在品格上发生了变化。JNN330.3
耶稣超乎万名之名-第314章
Jesus reproved His disciples, He warned and cautioned them; but John and his brethren did not leave Him; they chose Jesus, notwithstanding the reproofs. The Saviour did not withdraw from them because of their weakness and errors. They continued to the end to share His trials and to learn the lessons of His life. By beholding Christ, they became transformed in character.{JNN 330.3}
耶稣超乎万名之名-第314章
使徒们的习惯和性情是大不相同的。有作过税吏的利未马太,有顽强地痛恨罗马政权的狂热者西门,有豪爽急躁的彼得,有卑鄙诡诈的犹大。此外,多马是诚实胆小的,腓力是迟钝多疑的,还有野心勃勃、直言无隐的西庇太的两个儿子,以及其他弟兄。这些人各有不同的缺点,恶带着遗传的和环境造成的行恶倾向,而被救主召集在一起。但是藉着基督,并在基督里面,他们要同住在上帝家里,学习在信仰,真道,心志上同归于一。他们固然会有他们的试炼,他们的牢骚和不同的意见,但基督若住在他们心中,他们就不至于有纷争了。基督的爱会使他们彼此相爱;主的教训会使一切的分歧融合一致,把众门徒合而为一,直到他们都有一样的心思和一样的意念。基督乃是伟大的中心,他们越与中心接近,就因而彼此越发接近了。(DA295、296)JNN330.4
耶稣超乎万名之名-第314章
The apostles differed widely in habits and disposition. There were the publican, Levi-Matthew, and the fiery zealot Simon, the uncompromising hater of the authority of Rome; the generous, impulsive Peter, and the mean-spirited Judas; Thomas, true-hearted, yet timid and fearful, Philip, slow of heart, and inclined to doubt, and the ambitious, outspoken sons of Zebedee, with their brethren. These were brought together, with their different faults, all with inherited and cultivated tendencies to evil; but in and through Christ they were to dwell in the family of God, learning to become one in faith, in doctrine, in spirit. They would have their tests, their grievances, their differences of opinion; but while Christ was abiding in the heart, there could be no dissension. His love would lead to love for one another; the lessons of the Master would lead to the harmonizing of all differences, bringing the disciples into unity, till they would be of one mind and one judgment. Christ is the great center, and they would approach one another just in proportion as they approached the center.—The Desire of Ages, 295, 296.{JNN 330.4}
