耶稣超乎万名之名-第356章
又一年即将结束。圣诞节和新年马上就要到了。过去的一年,带着沉重的历史,即将永远过去。让我们坦率而仔细地回顾我们的生活,思考我们在上帝赐予我们的福气中所获得的许多证据。上帝赐给世界的最不可言喻的礼物就是祂的爱子。.?JNN373.2
耶稣超乎万名之名-第356章
We are nearing the close of another year. Christmas and New Year’s will soon be here. Let us candidly and carefully review our life during the year that is about to pass, with its burden of history, into eternity, and consider the many tokens we have had of the favor of God in the blessings He has bestowed upon us. The most unspeakable gift which God could bestow upon the world was the Gift of His beloved Son.{JNN 373.2}
耶稣超乎万名之名-第356章
我们对这个救恩计划的宏伟壮丽一点也不欣赏。与天父原为一的主,从天上荣耀的宝座上走下来,脱下祂的王袍和冠冕,给祂的神性披上人性,从而使自己达到人的软弱官能的水平。祂“为你们成了贫穷,叫你们因祂的贫穷,可以成为富足”(林后8:9)。圣父的牺牲是无限的;圣子的牺牲是无限的!上天赐下最高的礼物,救赎堕落的人类。多么神圣的仁爱啊!摧毁这个世界要比改造它容易得多。但基督说:“人子来,不是要灭人的性命,是要救人的性命”(路9:56)。上帝的儿子明白这绝望的处境,就亲自来到我们的世界,叫人藉着祂可以得永生。虽然祂是至高者的儿子,但祂甘心忍受侮辱、嘲笑和残酷的死亡,因为祂爱人类,要拯救人类免于毁灭。但是,祂来拯救的世人好像决意要切断与天国的一切联系,蔑视上帝的仁慈,拒绝全能之神,竟把荣耀之主钉在十字架上。亲爱的弟兄姐妹们,我们看到这样的爱,这样无限的牺牲,能无动于衷吗?上帝的能力为堕落的人类提供了多么丰富的资源啊!JNN373.3
耶稣超乎万名之名-第356章
We do not half appreciate the grandeur of the plan of salvation. He who was one with the Father stepped down from the glorious throne in heaven, laid aside His royal robe and crown, and clothed His divinity with humanity, thus bringing Himself to the level of man’s feeble faculties. “For your sakes He became poor, that ye through His poverty might be rich.” Infinite was the sacrifice on the part of the Father; infinite the sacrifice of the Son! The highest gift that Heaven could bestow was given to ransom fallen humanity. O, what divine benevolence! It would have been far easier to crush the world out of existence than to reform it. But Christ declares, “The Son of man is not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them.” The Son of God understood the desperate situation, and Himself came to our world, that humanity through Him might have eternal life. Son of the Most High though He was, He submitted Himself to insult, mockery, anruel death because He loved human beings, and would save them from ruin. But, as if determined to cut themselves off from all communication with Heaven, as if scorning God’s mercy and defying Omnipotence, the world whom He came to save, crucified the Lord of glory. Can we, my dear brethren and sisters, behold such love, such infinite sacrifice, unmoved? O, what abundant resources divine power has provided for the fallen race!{JNN 373.3}
耶稣超乎万名之名-第356章
我们要仰望耶稣,看看祂对堕落之人奇异的爱,这是髑髅地的十字架所证明的。巨大的牺牲已经作出,基督以无限的代价买了人。你们是用重价买来的,就是上帝儿子的宝血。现在耶稣说,我对人心有要求;人是我血所买的。”祂就这样声明祂对人类良知的主权。(RH1888年12月11日)JNN373.4
耶稣超乎万名之名-第356章
Let us look to Jesus, and see the amazing love for fallen humanity of which the cross of Calvary gives evidence. The great sacrifice has been made, and Christ has purchased men and women at an infinite cost. “Ye are bought witrice,” even the precious blood of the Son of God. And now Jesus says, “I have claims upon the human heart....” Thus He asserts His ownership of the consciences of human beings.—The Review and Herald, December 11, 1888.{JNN 373.4}
