耶稣超乎万名之名-第339章
“摩西便制造一条铜蛇,挂在杆子上。凡被蛇咬的,一望这铜蛇就活了”(民21:9)。JNN356.1
耶稣超乎万名之名-第339章
So Moses madronze serpent, and put it oole; and so it was, ierpent had bitten anyone, when he looked at the bronze serpent, he lived.—Numbers 21:9{JNN 356.1}
耶稣超乎万名之名-第339章
帝吩咐摩西照着活蛇的形状制造一条铜蛇,在百姓中间高举起来。凡被咬的,只要一望这蛇,就必得到救治。摩西就这样作了,于是就有喜乐的信息传遍全营说,一切被咬的人,只要仰望这铜蛇,就必得活。这时许多人已经死了,而且当摩西把蛇挂在杆子上时,也有一些人不相信单看这金属的形像就可以得到医治;所以这些人就在不信之中灭亡了。但是另有许多人相信上帝所定的办法。父母弟兄姊妹都焦急地帮助他们受苦垂死的亲友,叫他们睁开昏昏朦朦的眼睛仰望那条铜蛇。这些人虽然已经到了昏迷垂死的地步,但只要能仰望一下,他们就完全复原了。JNN356.2
耶稣超乎万名之名-第339章
Moses was divinely commanded to makerpent of brass resembling the living ones, and to elevate it among the people. To this, all who had been bitten were to look, and they would find relief. He did so, and the joyful news was sounded throughout the encampment that all who had been bitten might look upon the brazen serpent and live. Many had already died, and when Moses raised the serpent upon the pole, some would not believe that merely gazing upon that metallic image would heal them; these perished in their unbelief. Yet there were many who had faith in the provision which God had made. Fathers, mothers, brothers, and sisters were anxiously engaged in helping their suffering, dying friends to fix their languid eyes upon the serpent. If these, though faint and dying, could only once look, they were perfectly restored.{JNN 356.2}
耶稣超乎万名之名-第339章
百姓明知铜蛇本身没有什么能力足以使那些仰望的人起这样的改变。惟有上帝能使人痊愈。上帝凭着祂的智慧,用这种方法彰显了祂的能力。上帝用这个简单的办法,使百姓看出他们这次所遭受的苦难是因了他们自己的罪。祂也应许他们,只要他们服从上帝,他们就没有惧怕的必要;因为祂一定要保守他们。JNN356.3
耶稣超乎万名之名-第339章
The people well knew that there was no power in the serpent of brass to cause suchange in those who looked upon it. The healing virtue was from God alone. In His wisdom He chose this way of displaying His power. By this simple means the people were made to realize that this affliction had been brought upon them by their sins. They were also assured that while obeying God they had no reason to fear, for He would preserve them.{JNN 356.3}
耶稣超乎万名之名-第339章
铜蛇的举起是要给以色列人一个重要的教训。他们无法救助自己脱离被蛇咬伤的致命毒害。惟有上帝才能医治他们。然而他们必须对上帝所定的办法表示信心。他们必须仰望,才能得生。上帝所悦纳的乃是他们的信心,而他们的信心乃是要藉着仰望铜蛇来表现。他们明知铜蛇本身毫无功能。这不过是基督的一个预表;这样,他们心中就感悟到相信基督之功劳的必要了。前此,许多人曾奉献他们的祭物与上帝,并觉得这样作就能充分地为自己赎罪。他们并没有倚靠那将要来的救赎主,就是这些祭物所预表的救主。所以这时耶和华要教训他们,使他们知道祭物本身并不比铜蛇有更大的能力或功德,只是像铜蛇一样,是指引他们去仰望那伟大的赎罪祭基督。(PP430)JNN356.4
耶稣超乎万名之名-第339章
The lifting up of the brazen serpent was to teach Israel an important lesson. They could not save themselves from the fatal effect of the poison in their wounds. God alone was able to heal them. Yet they were required to show their faith in the provision which He had made. They must look in order to live. It was their faith that was acceptable with God, and by looking upon the serpent their faith was shown. They knew that there was no virtue in the serpent itself, but it waymbol of Christ; and the necessity of faith in His merits was thus presented to their minds. Heretofore many had brought their offerings to God, and had felt that in so doing they made ample atonement for their sins. They did not rely upon the Redeemer to come, of whom these offerings were onlype. The Lord would now teach them that their sacrifices, in themselves, had no more power or virtue than the serpent of brass, but were, like that, to lead their minds to Christ, the great sin offering.—Patriarchs and Prophets, 430.{JNN 356.4}
