“反倒虚己,取了奴仆的形像,成为人的样式”(腓2:7)。JNN86.1
耶稣超乎万名之名-第78章
But made Himself of no reputation, taking the form oondservant, and coming in the likeness of men.—Philippians 2:7{JNN 86.1}
耶稣超乎万名之名-第78章
耶稣来与我们同住,是要向世人和天使显明上帝。祂是上帝的“道”,──上帝思想的表达。祂为门徒祷告时说:“我已将你的名”──“有怜悯,有恩典,不轻易发怒,并有丰盛的慈爱和诚实”——“显明与他们”,“使你所爱我的爱在他们里面,我也在他们里面”(约17:26;出34:6)。但是这种启示并不是单为祂地上的儿女。我们这个小小的世界乃是全宇宙的课本。上帝恩典的奇妙旨意——救赎之爱的奥秘——乃是“天使也愿意详细察看”的题目,也将是他们千秋万世的学科。蒙救赎的人们和那些未曾堕落的生灵,都将以基督的十字架为他们的科学和诗歌。他们将看出那照耀在耶稣面上的荣光中,乃是舍己之爱的荣光。从髑髅地所发出的光辉中,他们将看出那舍己之爱的律,乃是适用于地上也适用于天上的生命的定律。那“不求自己的益处”的爱,乃是由上帝之心发源的,而且在那位柔和谦卑者身上,显明了那“住在人不能靠近的光里”者的品德。JNN86.2
耶稣超乎万名之名-第78章
By coming to dwell with us, Jesus was to reveal God both to humans and to angels. He was the Word of God—God’s thought made audible. In His prayer for His disciples He says, “I have declared unto them Thy name,”—“merciful and gracious, long-suffering, and abundant in goodness and truth,”—“that the love wherewith Thou hast loved Me may be in them, ann them.” But not alone for His earth-born children was this revelation given. Our little world is the lesson book of the universe. God’s wonderful purpose of grace, the mystery of redeeming love, is the theme into which “angels desire to look,” and it will be their study throughout endless ages. Both the redeemed and the unfallen beings will find in the cross of Christ their science and their song. It will be seen that the glory shining in the face of Jesus is the glory of self-sacrificing love. In the light from Calvary it will be seen that the law of self-renouncing love is the law of life for earth and heaven; that the love which “seeketh not her own” has its source in the heart of God; and that in the meek and lowly One is manifested the character of Him who dwelleth in the light which no person can approach unto.{JNN 86.2}

太初之时,上帝显现在祂一切的创造作为中。是基督铺张穹苍,立了大地的根基。是祂的手将大地悬在虚空,并制造了野地的花朵。祂“用力量安定诸山,”“海洋属祂,是祂造的”(诗65:6;95:5)。是祂使大地充满美丽,空气充满歌声,在地上,空中,天上的一切事物之上,祂都写下了天父之爱的佳音。JNN86.3
耶稣超乎万名之名-第78章
In the beginning, God was revealed in all the works of creation. It was Christ that spread the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth. It was His hand that hung the worlds in space, and fashioned the flowers of the field. “His strength setteth fast the mountains.” “The sea is His, and He made it” (Psalm 65:6; 95:5). It was He that filled the earth with beauty, and the air with song. And upon all things in earth, and air, and sky, He wrote the message of the Father’s love.{JNN 86.3}
耶稣超乎万名之名-第78章
如今罪已毁伤了上帝完美的工作,然而祂的手迹依然存在。即使到今天,一切受造之物仍在述说祂的荣耀。…树之一叶,草之一片,也无不有它的贡献。一草一木,都在流出生命的元素。没有这元素,人和兽将不能生存。反之,人和兽对草木的生命也有所服务。百花放出香气,展开美色,使世人得到幸福;太阳发出光辉,使大千世界得到欢欣。(DA19-21)JNN86.4
耶稣超乎万名之名-第78章
Now sin has marred God’s perfect work, yet that handwriting remains. Even now all created things declare the glory of His excellence.... There is no leaf of the forest, or lowly blade of grass, but has its ministry. Every tree and shrub and leaf pours forth that element of life without which neither human beings nor animal could live; and human and animal, in turn, minister to the life of tree and shrub and leaf. The flowers breathe fragrance and unfold their beauty in blessing to the world.—The Desire of Ages, 19-21.{JNN 86.4}
