Chap. 60 Our Greatest Need
传道良助-第61章
耶稣说：你们要“作我的见证”（徒1:8）。这句话至今仍未失效。在这拘泥于宗教形式的时代，我们的救主呼召忠实的见证人。但在自称为基督使者的人中，很少有人愿意亲自忠心地为他们的主作证。许多人可以述说在以往时代中伟大善良的人所做过的事，冒过的险，受过的苦，和享过的福。他们口若悬河地讲论福音的大能曾如何使别人在艰难困苦之中仍有喜乐，在强烈的试探下坚定不移。可是他们在这么热心地提出其他基督徒来作为耶稣的见证人时，他们自己却似乎没有什么合时的新经验可讲。{GW 273.1}[1]
传道良助-第61章
Ye shall be witnesses unto Me. [Acts 1:8.] These words of Jesus have lost none of their force. Our Saviour calls for faithful witnesses in these days of religious formalism; but how few, even among the professed ambassadors for Christ, are ready to give a faithful, personal testimony for their Master! Many can tell what the great and good men of generations past have done, and dared, and suffered, and enjoyed. They become eloquent in setting forth the power of the gospel, which has enabled others to rejoice in trying conflicts, and to stand firm against fierce temptations. But while so earnest in bringing forward other Christians as witnesses for Jesus, they seem to have no fresh, timely experience of their own to relate. {GW 273.1}[1]
传道良助-第61章
基督的传道人啊，你们自己有什么话可讲呢？你们自己有过什么心灵上奋斗的经验，可以使自己和别人获益，并使上帝得荣耀呢？你们自称向世人传扬最后严肃慈悲信息的人哪，你们在认识真理上有什么经验呢？这真理在你们的心上有什么效果呢？你们的品格是否见证基督呢？你们能否说出那在耶稣里的真理纯净、高尚、圣洁的感化力呢？论到基督的权能，你们见过什么，知道什么呢？主所要的，正是这种见证，教会也正因缺少这种见证而受着损害。{GW 273.2}[2]
传道良助-第61章
Ministers of Christ, what have you to say for yourselves? What soul conflicts have you experienced that have been for your good, for the good of others, and for the glory of God? You who profess to be proclaiming the last solemn message of mercy to the world, what is your experience in the knowledge of the truth, and what has been its effect upon your own hearts? Does your character testify for Christ? Can you speak of the refining, ennobling, sanctifying influence of the truth as it is in Jesus? What have you seen, what have you known, of the power of Christ? This is the kind of witness for which the Lord calls, and for which the churches are suffering. {GW 273.2}[2]
传道良助-第61章
你们如果对基督没有活泼的信心，接受祂为个人的救主，就不可能让怀疑的世人感受你们的信心。你们如果想救罪人脱离急湍的潮流，自己的脚就不应站在光滑的地方。{GW 274.1}[3]
传道良助-第61章
Without a living faith in Christ as a personal Saviour, it is impossible to make your faith felt in a skeptical world. If you would draw sinners out of the swift-running current, your own feet must not stand on slippery places. {GW 274.1}[3]
传道良助-第61章
我们需要不断得到基督的新启示，和与祂的教训相符合的日常经验。高尚圣洁的造诣是我们可以达到的。上帝的旨意是要我们在知识和品德上不断地进步。祂的律法是祂声音的回响。祂对众人的邀请是：“向高处行；要成为圣洁，更加圣洁。”我们每天都可以在完善基督徒品格方面有长进。{GW 274.2}[4]
传道良助-第61章
We need constantly a fresh revelation of Christ, a daily experience that harmonizes with His teachings. High and holy attainments are within our reach. Continual progress in knowledge and virtue is God's purpose for us. His law is the echo of His own voice, giving to all the invitation, "Come up higher; be holy, holier still." Every day we may advance in perfection of Christian character. {GW 274.2}[4]
传道良助-第61章
从事主圣工的人，需要一种比许多人所想象更高、更深、更广的经验。许多上帝大家庭中的人，不大明白瞻仰主的荣光、荣上加荣的意义。许多人对于基督的卓越仅有模糊的概念，便心中充满喜乐。他们渴望对救主的爱有更充分更深刻的认识。他们应当珍重每一种追求上帝的心愿。{GW 274.3}[5]
传道良助-第61章
Those who are engaged in service for the Master need an experience much higher, deeper, broader, than many have yet thought of having. Many who are already members of God's great family know little of what it means to behold His glory, and to be changed from glory to glory. Many have a twilight perception of Christ's excellence, and their hearts thrill with joy. They long for a fuller, deeper sense of the Saviour's love. Let these cherish every desire of the soul after God. {GW 274.3}[5]
传道良助-第61章
圣灵要感化愿意受感化的人，陶冶愿意被陶冶的人，造就愿意被造就的人。你们应当培养属灵的思想和圣洁的意识。你们所见到的，只是祂荣耀曙光的最初几道光线而已。你们若热心追求认识主，就必知道“义人的路，好象黎明的光，越照越明，直到日午”（箴4:18）。{GW 274.4}[6]
传道良助-第61章
The Holy Spirit works with those who will be worked, moulds those who will be moulded, fashions those who will be fashioned. Give yourselves the culture of spiritual thoughts and holy communings. You have seen but the first rays of the early dawn of His glory. As you follow on to know the Lord, you will know that the "path of the righteous is as the light of dawn, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day." [Proverbs 4:18, R. V.] {GW 274.4}[6]
