God Still Needs People, June 23
得胜的基督-第176章
“在我以前的省长加重百姓的担子,每日索要粮食和酒,并银子四十舍客勒,就是他们的仆人也辖制百姓。但我因敬畏上帝不这样行”(尼5:15)。{CTr 181.1}[1]
得胜的基督-第176章
The former governors that had been before me were chargeable unto the people, and had taken of them bread and wine, beside forty shekels of silver; yea, even their servants bare rule over the people.Nehemiah 5:15.{CTr 181.1}[1]
得胜的基督-第176章
以色列人被掳到巴比伦,因为他们离开上帝,不再觉得有责任持守不与周围民族的观念搀杂的原则。他们既与上帝分离,主就让他们蒙羞。祂不能帮助他们兴盛,不能实现与他们所立的约,因为他们不忠于祂赐给他们热心遵守的原则,以保守他们回避不敬畏上帝之外邦民族的方法与行为。……祂任凭他们走自己的道路,结果锡安无辜的人和有罪的人一同遭殃。{CTr 181.2}[2]
得胜的基督-第176章
The children of Israel were taken captive to Babylon because they separated from God, and no longer felt that it was their duty to maintain principles unadulterated by the sentiments of the nations around them. Because of their separation from God, the Lord humbled them. He could not work for their prosperity, He could not fulfill His covenant with them while they were untrue to the principles He had given them to zealously maintain, that they might be kept from the methods and practices of the heathen nations who dishonored God.... He left them to their own ways, and the innocent suffered with the sinners in Zion.{CTr 181.2}[2]
得胜的基督-第176章
但在以色列人中,也有爱国的基督徒。他们如钢铁般地忠于原则。上帝极其喜爱这些忠诚的人。……他们与有罪的人一同遭殃。按照上帝的旨意,他们被掳到巴比伦,进入前线,以他们正直无瑕的榜样将天上的光辉照耀出去。{CTr 181.3}[3]
得胜的基督-第176章
But among the children of Israel there were Christian patriots, who were as true as steel to principle, and upon these loyal and true men the Lord looked with great pleasure.... They had to suffer with the guilty, but in the providence of God this captivity was the means of bringing them to the front. Their example of untarnished integrity, while captives at Babylon, shines with heaven’s luster.{CTr 181.3}[3]
得胜的基督-第176章
上帝的许多选民证明自己是靠不住的。他们与上帝分离,变得自私、诡诈和无耻。但以理和他的朋友,以及以斯拉和尼希米所起的作用与这些人完全不同,上帝就因这些人坚持正义而特别祝福他们。{CTr 181.4}[4]
得胜的基督-第176章
Many of the Lord’s chosen people had proved themselves untrustworthy. They separated from God and became selfish, scheming, and dishonorable. The part acted by Daniel and his fellows, and by Ezra and Nehemiah, was in marked contrast to this, and the Lord specially blessed these men for standing firmly for the right.{CTr 181.4}[4]
得胜的基督-第176章
尼希米蒙上帝拣选,是因为他愿意在复兴的工作中与上帝合作。……他不愿意因不道德之辈的阴谋而败坏。这些人已经被收买专做坏事。他不允许他们威胁他采取懦怯的行动。当他看到人们实行错误的原则时,他不会袖手旁观,默认这样的行为。他不让人误解他站在错误的一边。他坚定不移地拥护正义的立场,不允许自己的丝毫感化力来破坏上帝所确立的原则。不管别人怎么做,他总是说:“但是我不是这样做,因为我是敬畏上帝的。”(Manuscript 1898.121){CTr 181.5}[5]
得胜的基督-第176章
Nehemiah was chosen by God because he was willing to cooperate with God as a restorer.... He would not be led and corrupted by the devices of unprincipled men who had been hired to do an evil work. He would not allow them to intimidate him into following a cowardly course. When he saw wrong principles being acted upon, he did not stand by as an onlooker and by his silence give consent. He did not leave the people to conclude that he would stand on the wrong side. He took a firm, unyielding stand for the right. He would not lend one jot of influence to the perversion of the principles that God had established. Whatever course others might pursue, he could say, “So did not I, because of the fear of God.”—Manuscript 121, 1898.{CTr 181.5}[5]
