耶稣超乎万名之名-第52章
属灵的事是要用属灵的眼光去看的。在圣殿里,上帝的儿子为祂降世的使命被奉献。祭司看祂和其他的孩子一样。他虽然在耶稣身上没有看到,也没有觉得有什么特别事,但是上帝将祂儿子赐给世人的这件事,总是有人承认的。这一次并不是对于基督毫无表示地就空空过去了。“在耶路撒冷,有一个人名叫西面,这人又公义又虔诚,素常盼望以色列的安慰者来到,又有圣灵在他身上。他得了圣灵的启示,知道自己未死以前,必看见主所立的基督。”JNN59.2
耶稣超乎万名之名-第52章
Spiritual things are spiritually discerned. In the temple the Son of God was dedicated to the work He had come to do. The priest looked upon Him as he would upon any other child. But though he neither saw nor felt anything unusual, God’s act in giving His Son to the world was acknowledged. This occasion did not pass without some recognition of Christ. “There waan in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the Consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him. And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.”{JNN 59.2}

西面走进圣殿,看到一对夫妇在祭司面前奉献他们的头生子。一望就知道他们是穷人,但是西面明白圣灵的启示。他深深感到这奉献与主的婴孩就是以色列的“安慰者”,也就是他渴望见到的一位。他就狂喜地向前走来。祭司见状甚觉惊奇。这时婴孩已经交还给马利亚,西面便又将祂抱过来奉献与上帝。那时他心中感到从未有过的喜乐。他向天举起圣婴救主说:“主啊!如今可以照你的话,释放仆人安然去世,因为我的眼睛已经看见你的救恩,就是你在万民面前所预备的,是照亮外邦人的光,又是你民以色列的荣耀。”?JNN59.3
耶稣超乎万名之名-第52章
As Simeon enters the temple, he seeamily presenting their firstborn son before the priest. Their appearance bespeaks poverty; but Simeon understands the warnings of the Spirit, and he is deeply impressed that the infant being presented to the Lord is the Consolation of Israel, the One he has longed to see. To the astonished priest, Simeon appears likan enraptured. The child has been returned to Mary, and he takes it in his arms and presents it to God, whiloy that he has never before felt enters his soul. As he lifts the infant Saviour toward heaven, he says, “Lord, now lettest Thou Thy servant depart in peace, according to Thy word: for mine eyes have seen Thy salvation, which Thou hast prepared before the face of all peopleight to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of Thy people Israel.”{JNN 59.3}

有预言之灵降在这属上帝的人身上。当约瑟和马利亚站在旁边因他的话而希奇之时,他为他们祝福。又对马利亚说:“这孩子被立,是要叫以色列中许多人跌倒,许多人兴起,又要作毁谤的话柄,叫许多人心里的意念显露出来,你自己的心也要被刀刺透。”(DA55)JNN59.4

The spirit of prophecy was upon this man of God, and while Joseph and Mary stood by, wondering at his words, he blessed them, and said unto Mary, “Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and foign which shall be spoken against; (yeaword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.”—The Desire of Ages, 55.{JNN 59.4}
