When God Calls, How Do We Respond? June 9
得胜的基督-第162章
“以利亚离开那里走了,遇见沙法的儿子以利沙伊耕地。在他前头有十二对牛,自己赶着第十二对。以利亚到他那里去,将自己的外衣搭在他身上”(王上19:19)。{CTr 167.1}[1]
得胜的基督-第162章
So he ... found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him ... and Elijah passed by him, and cast his mantle upon him.1 Kings 19:19.{CTr 167.1}[1]
得胜的基督-第162章
以利亚看见以利沙在田里跟仆人一道工作,赶着他的十二对牛耕田时,就下到田间,经过以利沙身边时,解下外衣,搭在他的肩上。在那三年半的饥荒期间,沙法一家已经了解了先知以利亚的使命。上帝的灵感动以利沙的心,使他知道伊莱贾把自己的外衣搭在他身上的意义。这是上帝呼召他接续以利亚的信号。以利亚对以利沙的呼召与基督对那个青年官长的命令相似。那个官长受命要放弃一切——家宅、田产、朋友、财富、舒适和安逸—— “还要来跟从我”。 {CTr 167.2}[2]
得胜的基督-第162章
When Elijah saw Elisha in the field with the servants, plowing with his twelve yoke of oxen, he went to the field of labor, and while passing by he unfastened his mantle and threw it upon the shoulders of Elisha. During the three and a half years of barrenness and famine, the family of Shaphat became familiar with the work and mission of Elijah the prophet. The Spirit of God impressed the heart of Elisha in regard to the meaning of this action. This was his signal that God had called him to be the successor of Elijah. It was similar to the commission of Christ to the young ruler to leave all—houses, lands, friends, riches, comforts, and ease, “and come and follow me.”{CTr 167.2}[2]
得胜的基督-第162章
以利亚擦身而过,似乎事情就这么结束了。但他知道以利沙明白这个动作的意义,便一言不发离开了,心想他会接受或是拒绝这个呼召。以利沙急忙跑向先知,追上他,求他容自己辞别自己的父母和家人。{CTr 167.3}[3]
得胜的基督-第162章
Elijah passed on as if that were the end of the matter. But he knew that Elisha had understood the significance of the action, and he left him, without speaking a word, to decide whether he would accept the call or reject it. Elisha hastened after the prophet and, overtaking him, asked permission to take leave of his parents, and bid farewell to his family.{CTr 167.3}[3]
得胜的基督-第162章
以利亚的回答是:“你回去吧,我向你作了什么呢”(王上19:20)?这句话并不是拒绝,却是一个试验。以利沙的心若是依恋自己的家和它的利益,他尽可以留在那里。但以利沙已准备好听从上帝的呼召。他没有冒然跑到呼召之前。而但呼召临到时,他就表现得毫不犹豫,既不迟延,也不退缩。……{CTr 167.4}[4]
得胜的基督-第162章
The answer of Elijah was “Go back again: for what have I done unto thee?” This was not a repulse, but a test, a trial. If his heart clung to his home and its advantages, he was at liberty to remain there. But Elisha was prepared to hear the call of God. He had not been disorderly, running before the call had come, and when he was called he revealed that he would not hesitate, nor relent, nor draw back....{CTr 167.4}[4]
得胜的基督-第162章
如果以利沙询问以利亚所期望于他的是什么,他的工作是什么,他就必得到回答说:上帝知道;祂必指示你。如果你等候耶和华,祂必回答你的每一个问题。你若有了上帝已经呼召你的证据,你就跟我来吧。若是没有,就别来。不要仅仅因为我叫了你就来。你自己务要知道有上帝作你的后盾,而且你所听到的乃是祂的声音。你若能把万事看作粪土,为要得着上帝的悦纳,就来吧。{CTr 167.5}[5]
得胜的基督-第162章
Had Elisha asked Elijah what was expected of him, what would be his work, he would have answered, God knows; He will make it known to you. If you wait upon the Lord He will answer your every question. You may come with me if you have evidence that God has called you; if not, forbear. Come not simply because I called you. Know for yourself that God stands back of me, and that it is His voice you hear. If you can count everything but dross that you may win the favor of God, Come.{CTr 167.5}[5]
得胜的基督-第162章
我们都要记住:主不会接受半心半意的侍奉。唯有喜爱遵行上帝旨意的人,才能进行完全的侍奉。……我们如果甘心高兴地追求认识主,就会知道“祂出现确如晨光。”……{CTr 167.6}[6]
得胜的基督-第162章
Let all bear in mind that the Lord will not accept halfhearted service. Those who love to do the will of God can do perfect service.... If we follow on to know the Lord, willingly, gladly, we shall know that “his going forth is prepared as the morning.” ...{CTr 167.6}[6]
得胜的基督-第162章
以利沙立刻丢下了一切开始他的服务。(Letter 1897.12){CTr 167.7}[7]
得胜的基督-第162章
Elisha immediately left all to commence his ministry.—Letter 12, 1897.{CTr 167.7}[7]
