John the Baptist’s Example, December 2
从心出发-第336章
“有一个人,是从上帝那里差来的,名叫约翰”(约1:6)。[1]{FH 348.1}
从心出发-第336章
There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.John 1:6.{FH 348.1}[1]
从心出发-第336章
众先知预言了施洗约翰的出生。一位天使奉差去通知撒迦利亚。天上的使者明确吩咐那位父亲要用严格节制的习惯养育孩子。……[2]{FH 348.2}
从心出发-第336章
The birth of John the Baptist had been foretold by prophets, and an angel was sent to notify Zacharias of the event. The heavenly messenger expressly enjoined upon the father to bring up the child with strictly temperate habits....{FH 348.2}[2]
从心出发-第336章
约翰觉得自己没有足够的力量对抗他在社会所要遇到的试探重压。他担心自己的品格会受犹太人流行的风俗所影响,所以他决定使自己与世界分离,拣选旷野作为他的家。……他过的远非孤寂、阴沉郁闷的生活,而是享受着简朴退隐生活的快乐。他节制的习惯也使他一切的感官完好无损。……[3]{FH 348.3}
从心出发-第336章
John did not feel strong enough to stand the great pressure of temptation he would meet in mingling with society. He feared his character would be molded according to the prevailing customs of the Jews, and he chose to separate himself from the world and make the wilderness his home.... So far from being lonely, gloomy, or morose, he enjoyed his life of simplicity and retirement, and his temperate habits kept all his senses unperverted....{FH 348.3}[3]
从心出发-第336章
约翰要为上帝做一项特别的工作。他要对付人们的罪恶和愚妄。为了配做这项重要的工作,他必须藉着追求天上的知识私下装备自己。他必须默想祈祷,并藉着研究熟悉预言和上帝的旨意。他既远离了繁忙的世界,世上的挂虑和诱人的娱乐便不会转移他的心思,败坏他的心思意念。他只与上帝和大自然同在。……他藉着严格的节制习惯获得了身体、心智和道德的健康。……[4]{FH 348.4}
从心出发-第336章
John had a special work to do for God. He was to deal with the sins and follies of the people. In order to be fitted for this important public work, he must qualify himself in private by seeking heavenly knowledge. He must meditate and pray, and by studying become acquainted with the prophecies and the will of God. Away from the busy world, whose cares and alluring pleasures would divert his mind and pervert his thoughts and imaginings, he was shut up with God and nature.... By his strictly temperate habits he secured to himself physical, mental, and moral health....{FH 348.4}[4]
从心出发-第336章
约翰让自己习惯了贫乏和艰苦,以便他能站在百姓中间而不为环境所动,就如他在其间生活了三十年的磐石和旷野的群山一般。一项大工摆在他面前。他必须养成一种不会因任何环境的影响而偏离正义和本分的品格。……[5]{FH 348.5}
从心出发-第336章
John accustomed himself to privations and hardships, that he might be able to stand among the people as unmoved by circumstances as the rocks and mountains of the wilderness that had surrounded him for thirty years. A great work was before him; and it was necessary that he should form a character that would not be swerved from right and duty by any surrounding influence....{FH 348.5}[5]
从心出发-第336章
约翰是末世……上帝托以严肃重要真理之人的榜样。上帝希望他们凡事节制,认识到必须克制食欲、将他们的情欲控制在理智之下。这是必要的,好使他们获得智力并清楚地分辨对与错、真理与谬误。有一项工作是人人……要到主的葡萄园里去做的。祂希望他们使自己适宜做有益的工作。——《青年导报》,1897年1月7日。[6]{FH 348.6}
从心出发-第336章
John was an example to ... people in these last days, to whom have been committed important and solemn truths. God would have them temperate in all things. He would have them see the necessity for the denial of appetite, for keeping their passions under the control of reason. This is necessary that they may have mental strength and clearness to discern between right and wrong, between truth and error. There is work for every one ... to do in the vineyard of the Lord, and He would have them fit themselves to act a useful part.—Youth’s Instructor, January 7, 1897.{FH 348.6}[6]
