得胜的基督-第152章
“你们中间若有缺少智慧的,应当求那厚赐与众人,也不斥责人的上帝,主就必赐给他”(雅1:5)。{CTr 157.1}[1]
得胜的基督-第152章
If any of you is lacking in wisdom, ask God, who gives to all generously and ungrudgingly, and it will be given you.James 1:5, NRSV.{CTr 157.1}[1]
得胜的基督-第152章
人所拥有的一切智慧都是上帝的恩赐。祂能够也愿意将智慧赐给每一位凭信心寻求祂的人。所罗门向上帝求智慧,上帝就将大量的智慧赐给他。但当他败坏了智慧,用上帝伟大神圣的恩赐来高抬自己时,诸天会怎么看他呢?上帝拣选他建造圣殿,但他竟背叛了神圣的委托,与拜偶像的民族结盟。他在奉献圣殿时曾祈求能专心侍奉上帝。如今他却分心了,开始远离上帝。他与上帝的仇敌建立友谊,危害了自己属灵的利益。{CTr 157.2}[2]
得胜的基督-第152章
All the wisdom that people possess is God’s gift, and He can and will impart wisdom to every person who asks it of Him in faith. Solomon sought wisdom from God, and it was given him in large measure. But how did the universe of heaven look upon him when he perverted that wisdom and employed God’s great and holy gift to exalt himself? God chose him to build the temple, but how he perverted the sacred trust! He leagued himself with idolatrous nations. Thus he, who at the dedication of the temple had prayed that their hearts might be undividedly given to the Lord, himself began to separate his heart from God. He imperiled his soul’s interest by the formation of friendships with the Lord’s enemies.{CTr 157.2}[2]
得胜的基督-第152章
交友需要何等谨慎啊!与世界建立友情,肯定会降低宗教原则的标准。所罗门的异教妻子使他的心转离上帝。他敏锐的感官变得迟钝了。他的心地也刚硬了,因为他丧失了对人类的同情心和对上帝的爱。他的良知被封闭,他的统治变得独裁了。{CTr 157.3}[3]
得胜的基督-第152章
What carefulness should be exercised in the formation of friendship! Companionship with the world will surely lower the standard of religious principle. Solomon’s heathen wives turned away his heart from God. His finer sensibilities were blunted, and he became hardhearted, for he lost his sympathy for humankind and his love for God. His conscience was seared, and his rule became tyranny.{CTr 157.3}[3]
得胜的基督-第152章
所罗门向其他国家招聘能工巧匠建造圣殿,就为自己的败坏预备了道路。上帝本是祂子民的教育者。祂希望他们拥有祂的智慧和祂所赐的无比才能。如果他们是手洁心净,有崇高圣洁的宗旨,上帝就会把祂的恩典赐给他们。但是所罗门依赖人而不依靠上帝。他发现他所想象的力量其实是软弱的。他将邪恶影响的酵带进耶路撒冷,造成了多妻制和偶像崇拜。是谁引领以色列人犯罪是无可怀疑的。{CTr 157.4}[4]
得胜的基督-第152章
Solomon prepared the way for his own ruin when he sought for wise artisans from other nations to build the temple. God had been the educator of His people, and He designed that they should stand in His wisdom, and with His imparted talents they should be second to none. If they had the clean hands, the pure heart, and the noble, sanctified purpose, the Lord would communicate to them His grace. But Solomon looked to worldlings instead of God, and he found his supposed strength to be weakness. He brought to Jerusalem the leaven of the evil influences that were perpetuated in polygamy and idolatry. It was no question as to who made Israel to sin.{CTr 157.4}[4]
得胜的基督-第152章
虽然所罗门后来悔改了,但他的悔改无法消除他为本国所带来偶像崇拜的后果。我们每一个人都会传递或善或恶的影响。所罗门用巨大的代价采购他施的银子和俄斐的金子,甚至背叛了神圣的托付。与异教国家的有害交往,败坏了优良的风尚。当耶和华的子民转离全智的上帝,向不爱祂的人请教并作出决定时,上帝就让他们随从属世的,而不是属天的智慧。(Manuscript1894. 44;GCB.1895.2.25){CTr 157.5}[5]
得胜的基督-第152章
Although Solomon afterward repented, his repentance could not abolish the idolatrous practices that he had brought into the nation. We shall individually transmit an inheritance of either good or evil. The silver of Tarshish and the gold of Ophir were obtained by Solomon at a terrible expense, even the betrayal of sacred trusts. The evil communications with heathen nations corrupted good manners. When the Lord’s people turn from the God of all wisdom, and look to people who love not God, in order to obtain wisdom and arrive at decisions, the Lord will allow them to follow that wisdom that is not from above but from beneath.—Manuscript 44, 1894?(The General Conference Bulletin, February 25, 1895).{CTr 157.5}[5]
