Chap.18 Young Ministers to Labor with Older Ministers
传道良助-第19章
青年在准备从事传道工作的时候,应当与年长的传道人同工。那些在积极服务中获得了经验的人,要带着缺乏经验的青年工人到收割的田地里去,教导他们怎样成功地引人悔改。这些年长的工人要仁慈和善地帮助青年预备从事主可能召他们去做的工作。接受训练的青年,也应当尊敬他们教师的指导,敬重他们的献身,并记住他们已从多年的工作中获得了智慧。{GW 101.1}[1]
传道良助-第19章
In gaining a preparation for the ministry, young men should be associated with older ministers. Those who have gained an experience in active service are to take young, inexperienced workers with them into the harvest-field, teaching them how to labor successfully for the conversion of souls. Kindly and affectionately these older workers are to help the younger ones to prepare for the work to which the Lord may call them. And the young men in training should respect the counsel of their instructors, honoring their devotion, and remembering that their years of labor have given them wisdom. {GW 101.1}[1]
传道良助-第19章
彼得给教会和区会的职员留下了一段智慧的劝导:“务要牧养在你们中间上帝的群羊,按着上帝旨意照管他们;不是出于勉强,乃是出于甘心;也不是因为贪财,乃是出于乐意。也不是辖制所托付你们的,乃是作群羊的榜样。到了牧长显现的时候,你们必得那永不衰残的荣耀冠冕。你们年幼的,也要顺服年长的。就是你们众人,也都要以谦卑束腰,彼此顺服;因为上帝阻挡骄傲的人,赐恩给谦卑的人”(彼前5:2-5)。{GW 101.2}[2]
传道良助-第19章
Wise counsel for church and conference officers is given by Peter in the following words: "Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock. And when the Chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away. Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble." [1 Peter 5:2-5.] {GW 101.2}[2]
传道良助-第19章
年长的工人要担任教师,同时自己也要接受上帝的教导。青年要以在年长的工人手下学习为一种特权,同时他们也当承担他们年龄和经验所许可的责任。以利亚就曾在先知学校中这样教育以色列的青年;今日的青年也要接受同样的训练。青年虽然不可能在所有的细节上都得到应当如何行的指教,但年长的工人应当忠心地指导他们常常仰望那为我们信心创始成终的耶稣。{GW 101.3}[3]
传道良助-第19章
Let the older workers be educators, keeping themselves under the discipline of God. Let the young men feel it a privilege to study under older workers, and let them carry every burden that their youth and experience will allow. Thus Elijah educated the youth of Israel in the schools of the prophets; and young men today are to have a similar training. It is not possible to advise in every particular the part that the youth should act; but they should be faithfully instructed by the older workers, and taught to look ever to Him who is the author and finisher of our faith. {GW 101.3}[3]
传道良助-第19章
使徒保罗看到训练青年工人的重要性。在完成一次行程之后,他和巴拿巴又回去访问他们所兴建的教会,并从其中拣选一些可以受训和他们一同宣传福音的人。{GW 102.1}[4]
传道良助-第19章
The apostle Paul saw the importance of training younger workers. After making a missionary tour, he and Barnabas retraced their steps, and visited the churches they had raised up, choosing men whom they could unite with them, to train for the work of proclaiming the gospel. {GW 102.1}[4]
传道良助-第19章
保罗把训练青年传道的工作看为自己工作的一部分。他常带他们出外布道,如此让他们得到经验,使他们可以学习担任负责的职务。保罗什么时候与他们分开,就常与他们的工作取得联系。他写给提摩太和提多的书信,就足以说明他如何希望他们成功。他写道:“你在许多见证人面前听见我所教训的,也要交托那忠心能教导别人的人”(提后2:2)。{GW 102.2}[5]
传道良助-第19章
Paul made it a part of his work to educate young men for the gospel ministry. He took them with him on his missionary journeys, and thus they gained an experience that later enabled them to fill positions of responsibility. When separated from them, he still kept in touch with their work, and his letters to Timothy and Titus are an evidence of how deep was his desire for their success. "The things that thou hast heard," he wrote, "commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also." [2 Timothy 2:2.] {GW 102.2}[5]
传道良助-第19章
保罗工作的这一特点,给予今日的传道人一个重要的教训。富有经验的工人不应设法把一切担子都揽到自己身上,却应训练青年,把担子放在他们的肩头上。如果他们都这样作的话,他们就是作了很有价值的事。上帝希望在祂圣工上有经验的人能训练青年为祂服务。{GW 102.3}[6]
传道良助-第19章
This feature of Paul's work teaches an important lesson to ministers today. Experienced laborers do a noble work when, instead of trying to carry all the burdens themselves, they train younger men, and place burdens on their shoulders. It is God's desire that those who have gained an experience in His cause, shall train young men for His service. {GW 102.3}[6]
传道良助-第19章
青年传道人不要被他导师的观点和意见所束缚,以致丧失了自己的个性。他不要只照他导师的意思去做,不敢运用自己的决断,不顾自己对是非的认识。他有权亲自向大教师学习。如果他的同工所做的不符合“耶和华如此说”,他不要去找外人,而应向上级反映,把事情说清楚,自由表达自己的看法。这样,学生就能成为老师的福气。他必须忠实地履行自己的职责。如果他纵容错误的行为,上帝必不以他为无罪,不论那作错的人责任和影响有多大。{GW 102.4}[7]
传道良助-第19章
The younger worker must not become so wrapped up in the ideas and opinions of the one in whose charge he is placed, that he will forfeit his individuality. He must not lose his identity in the one who is instructing him, so that he dare not exercise his own judgment, but does what he is told, irrespective of his own understanding of what is right and wrong. It is his privilege to learn for himself of the great Teacher. If the one with whom he is working pursues a course which is not in harmony with a "Thus saith the Lord," let him not go to some outside party, but let him go to his superior in office, and lay the matter before him, freely expressing his mind. Thus the learner may be a blessing to the teacher. He must faithfully discharge his duty. God will not hold him guiltless if he connives at a wrong course of action, however great may be the influence or responsibility of the one taking the wrong course. {GW 102.4}[7]
传道良助-第19章
要嘱咐青年与年长的旗手联合,从这些忠心的人身上得到鼓励和教导,因为这些人曾身经百战;上帝常藉着圣灵的见证对他们说话,指示正路,谴责错误。在危机发生考验上帝子民的信心时,这些先驱要述说过去的经验,因为曾有过同样的危机,有人质疑真理,还有人散布不是来自上帝的奇怪观点。今日撒但正在寻找机会拆毁真理的路标,就是沿途所立的记念标志,故我们需要老工人的经验,因为他们把房屋建在坚固的磐石上,经历了各种美名与恶名而仍然坚持真理。{GW 103.1}[8]
传道良助-第19章
Young men will be bidden to link up with the aged standard-bearers, that they may be strengthened and taught by these faithful ones, who have passed through so many conflicts, and to whom, through the testimonies of His Spirit, God has so often spoken, pointing out the right way and condemning the wrong. When perils arise which try the faith of God's people, these pioneer workers are to recount the experiences of the past, when in just such crises the truth was questioned, and strange sentiments, proceeding not from God, were brought in. Today Satan is seeking opportunities to tear down the waymarks of truth,--the monuments that have been raised up along the way; and we need the experience of the aged workers who have built their house upon the solid rock, who through evil report as well as good report have been steadfast to the truth. {GW 103.1}[8]
