从心出发-第218章
Christ as a Child, August 6
从心出发-第218章
“祂在世界,世界也是藉着祂造的,世界却不认识祂”(约1:10)。[1]{FH 230.1}
从心出发-第218章
He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him.John 1:10.{FH 230.1}[1]
从心出发-第218章
新约外传试图提供圣经没有提到的基督早期生活,根据想象描绘祂的童年。这些作者说祂童年时代曾行过神迹奇事,与一般的孩童不同。他们讲述虚构的故事和据说是祂行的浅薄的奇闻,把基督说成是无意义而且不必要地炫耀祂神能的人,歪曲祂的品格,说祂有报复的行为和残忍可笑的恶作剧。[2]{FH 230.2}
从心出发-第218章
The apocrypha of the New Testament attempts to supply the silence of the Scriptures in reference to the early life of Christ by giving a fancy [fanciful] sketch of His childhood years. These writers relate wonderful incidents and miracles which characterized His childhood and distinguished Him from other children. They relate fictitious tales and frivolous miracles which they say He wrought, attributing to Christ the senseless and needless display of His divine power and falsifying His character by attributing to Him acts of revenge and deeds of mischief which were cruel and ridiculous.{FH 230.2}[2]
从心出发-第218章
这些没有意义的故事和虚假的传说,与福音书作者们记载简明优美的基督史迹形成了何等鲜明的对照啊。前者的叙述根本与基督的品格不符,更象小说之类,没有事实根据,描绘的是假想虚构的人物。[3]{FH 230.3}
从心出发-第218章
In what marked contrast is the history of Christ as recorded by the evangelists, which is beautiful in its natural simplicity, with these unmeaning stories and fictitious tales. They are not at all in harmony with His character. They are more after the order of the novels that are written, which have no foundation in truth, but the characters delineated are of fancy creating.{FH 230.3}[3]
从心出发-第218章
基督童年的生活与一般儿童有别。祂品德能力的强健与坚定,使祂忠于所负的职责,固守正义的原理,而且任何动机,无论其力量是多么强大,皆不足以动摇祂。金钱、娱乐、赞颂或是谴责,都不能贿买祂、诱胁祂,不能使祂有一次错误的行为。祂有抗拒试探的力量和洞察邪恶的智慧,能坚决地持守祂所确信的。……[4]{FH 230.4}
从心出发-第218章
The life of Christ was distinguished from the generality of children. His strength of moral character and His firmness ever led Him to be true to His sense of duty and to adhere to the principles of right, from which no motive, however powerful, could move Him. Money or pleasure, applause or censure, could not purchase or flatter Him to consent to a wrong action. He was strong to resist temptation, wise to discover evil, and firm to abide faithful to His convictions....{FH 230.4}[4]
从心出发-第218章
祂虽大有智慧,仍表现儿童的特征。祂的智慧随着年龄增长。祂的童年具有一种特别的温柔和可爱。祂的品格全然美丽,毫无瑕疵。[5]{FH 230.5}
从心出发-第218章
His wisdom was great, but it was childlike, and increased with His years. His childhood possessed peculiar gentleness and marked loveliness. His character was full of beauty and unsullied perfection....{FH 230.5}[5]
从心出发-第218章
天上的至尊踏上了顺从之路。祂来到世上,屈尊成了一个小孩子,过着儿童应过的简单自然的生活,服从约束,忍受缺乏,给青少年树立了忠心勤奋的榜样,用自己的生活向他们说明身心与自然律相和谐。……[6]{FH 230.6}
从心出发-第218章
The path of obedience is exalted by the Majesty of heaven coming to the earth and condescending Himself to become a little child and living simply and naturally as children should live, submitting to restraint and privation, giving youth an example of faithful industry, showing them by His own life that body and soul are in harmony with natural laws....{FH 230.6}[6]
从心出发-第218章
孩童虽生活在一个堕落的世界,却不必被恶习所败坏。他们可以幸福快乐并且靠着基督的功劳最终到达天国。——《青年导报》,1872年4月1日。[7]{FH 230.7}
从心出发-第218章
Although children live in a fallen world, they need not be corrupted by vice. They may be happy and through the merits of Christ attain heaven at last.—Youth’s Instructor, April 1872.{FH 230.7}[7]
