The Call of Elisha, September 5
从心出发-第248章
“以利亚到他那里去,将自己的外衣搭在他身上”(王上19:19)。[1]{FH 260.1}
从心出发-第248章
Then Elijah passed by him and threw his mantle on him.1 Kings 19:19.{FH 260.1}[1]
从心出发-第248章
我们最好思考一下伊莱沙蒙召作工时的情形。先知以利亚行将结束他在地上的工作。另有一位蒙召接续当时的工作。以利亚在路上蒙指示往北而行。他所见到的情景与不久之前有何等的不同啊!那时土地龟裂,田地无人种;因为三年半之久没有雨露降下。如今则周围草木欣欣向荣,仿佛在补偿干旱和饥荒时的损失。充足的降雨为大地成就的比为人心成就的更多;大地的预备工作比背道以色列人心的预备工作做得还好。[2]{FH 260.2}
从心出发-第248章
We would do well to consider the case of Elisha when chosen for his work. The prophet Elijah was about to close his earthly labors. Another was to be called to carry forward the work for that time. In his course of travel, Elijah was directed northward. How changed the scene before him now from that which the country had presented a little while before. Then the farming districts were unworked; the ground was parched, for neither dew nor rain had fallen for three years. Now everything seems to be springing up as if to redeem the time of famine and dearth. The plenteous rains had done more for the earth than for the hearts of humanity; the fields were better prepared for labor than were the hearts of apostate Israel.{FH 260.2}[2]
从心出发-第248章
以利亚看到周围的土地都是属于一个从未向巴力屈膝、专心侍奉上帝的人。甚至在被掳期间,也有没有陷入背道的人。这家人就包括在那七千没有向巴力屈膝的人中。这片土地的主人是沙法。以利亚见到工人们在忙碌作工。羊群在享受绿油油的牧场,工人们则忙着为丰收撒种。[3]{FH 260.3}
从心出发-第248章
Wherever Elijah looked, the land he saw was owned by one man—a man who had not bowed the knee to Baal, whose heart had remained undivided in the service of God. Even during the captivity there were souls who had not gone into apostasy, and this family was included in the seven thousand who had not bowed the knee to Baal. The owner of the land was Shaphat. Busy activity was seen among the workers. While the flocks were enjoying the green pastures, the busy hands of his servants were sowing the seed for a harvest.{FH 260.3}[3]
从心出发-第248章
以利亚注意到沙法的儿子伊莱沙。伊莱沙当时和仆人们在用十二对牛耕地。……伊莱沙在远离城市和宫庭淫佚的环境中接受了他的教育,养成了生活朴素,顺从父母和上帝的习惯。……[4]{FH 260.4}
从心出发-第248章
The attention of Elijah was attracted to Elisha, the son of Shaphat, who with the servants was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen.... Far from city and court dissipation, Elisha had received his education. He had been trained in habits of simplicity, of obedience to his parents and to God....{FH 260.4}[4]
从心出发-第248章
伊莱沙心满意足地等候着,忠实地从事自己的工作。日复一日,他藉着实际的顺从和他所信靠的上帝恩典,获得正直的操行和意志的力量。当他在农田里尽力与父亲合作时,他是在为上帝服务。他在学习怎样与上帝同工。——《青年导报》,1898年4月14日。[5]{FH 260.5}
从心出发-第248章
Elisha waited contentedly, doing his work with fidelity. Day by day, through practical obedience and the divine grace in which he trusted, he obtained rectitude and strength of purpose. While doing all that he possibly could in cooperating with his father in the home firm, he was doing God’s service. He was learning how to cooperate with God.—Youth’s Instructor, April 14, 1898.{FH 260.5}[5]
从心出发-第248章
当先知以利亚看到伊莱沙和仆人们一起用十二对牛耕地的时候,就来到工作的园地里,在经过的时候,解开自己的外衣搭在伊莱沙的肩上。然后继续前行就象事情已经做完了一样。但他知道伊莱沙明白这个举动的意义。以利亚离开了他,没有说一句话,把决定接受还是拒绝呼召的事留给伊莱沙。——《青年导报》,1898年4月21日。[6]{FH 260.6}
从心出发-第248章
When the prophet saw Elisha with his servants plowing with twelve yoke of oxen, he came to the field of labor, and while passing by, he unfastened his mantle and threw it upon the shoulders of Elisha. He then passed on as if that were the end of the matter. But he knew that Elisha understood the significance of the action; and he left him, without speaking a word, to decide whether he would accept or reject the call.—Youth’s Instructor, April 21, 1898.{FH 260.6}[6]
