“又有人忍受戏弄、鞭打、捆锁、监禁、各等的磨练”(来11:36)。{CTr 319.1}[1]
得胜的基督-第314章
And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment.Hebrews 11:36.{CTr 319.1}[1]
得胜的基督-第314章
当耶稣将耶路撒冷的厄运和祂第二次降临的景象启示给门徒时,祂也预言到从祂被接离开他们直到祂带着权柄和荣耀再来拯救他们,这一段时期中祂百姓所必有的经历。在橄榄山上,救主见到了那将要加于使徒教会身上的暴行。祂的慧眼也看明了跟从祂的人在未来的黑暗和逼迫时期中所要遭受凶狠猛烈的迫害。……{CTr 319.2}[2]
得胜的基督-第314章
When Jesus revealed to His disciples the fate of Jerusalem and the scenes of the Second Advent, He foretold also the experience of His people from the time when He should be taken from them to His return in power and glory for their deliverance. From Olivet the Saviour beheld the storms about to fall upon the apostolic church, and, penetrating deeper into the future, His eye discerned the fierce, wasting tempests that were to beat upon His followers in the coming ages of darkness and persecution....{CTr 319.2}[2]
得胜的基督-第314章
早期教会的历史证实了救主的话。地上和阴间的掌权者联合起来攻击跟随基督的人。……基督徒的财产被夺走,并从自己家中被人赶出。……无数人用自己的血印证了自己所作的见证。……{CTr 319.3}[3]
得胜的基督-第314章
The history of the early church testified to the fulfillment of the Saviour’s words. The powers of earth and hell arrayed themselves against Christ in the person of His followers.... Christians were stripped of their possessions and driven from their homes.... Great numbers sealed their testimony with their blood....{CTr 319.3}[3]
得胜的基督-第314章
在最凶暴的逼迫之下,这些为耶稣作见证的人保持了他们信仰的纯洁。……他们以信心,忍耐和希望的话彼此勉励,来忍受困乏和苦难。他们虽然失去世上所有的享受,但这并不能使他们放弃对基督的信仰。患难和逼迫只能使他们更快地得到他们的安息和奖赏。……{CTr 319.4}[4]
得胜的基督-第314章
Under the fiercest persecution these witnesses for Jesus kept their faith unsullied.... With words of faith, patience, and hope they encouraged one another to endure privation and distress. The loss of every earthly blessing could not force them to renounce their belief in Christ. Trials and persecutions were but steps bringing them nearer their rest and their reward....{CTr 319.4}[4]
得胜的基督-第314章
撒但虽然用暴力来摧毁基督的教会,但他一切的努力都是徒然的。当这些忠心高举真理旗帜的勇士在他们的岗位上光荣牺牲时,耶稣的门徒所殉身的大斗争并未就此停止。他们在失败中获得了胜利。上帝的工人固然被杀了,可是祂的圣工却稳步前进。福音继续传开,信徒的数目也不断地增多。……有一个基督徒向一些推动逼迫的异教官长申辩说:“你们可以拷问我们,折磨我们,使我们痛苦。你们的邪恶虽然使我们的软弱受到考验,但你们的残暴,并不能使你们成功,只不过更有力地邀请别人来接受我们的信仰。我们被杀的越多,我们的人数就越多;基督徒的血乃是福音的种子”。 {CTr 319.5}[5]
得胜的基督-第314章
In vain were Satan’s efforts to destroy the church of Christ by violence. The great controversy in which the disciples of Jesus yielded up their lives did not cease when these faithful standard-bearers fell at their post. By defeat they conquered. God’s workmen were slain, but His work went steadily forward. The gospel continued to spread, and the number of its adherents to increase.... Said a Christian, expostulating with the heathen rulers who were urging forward the persecution: “You may torment, afflict, and vex us. Your wickedness puts our weakness to the test, but your cruelty is of no avail. It is but a stronger invitation to bring others to our persuasion. The more we are mowed down, the more we spring up again. The blood of the Christians is seed.”{CTr 319.5}[5]
得胜的基督-第314章
千万的人被监禁,被残杀了;可是另有人起来补充他们的空缺。那些为信仰殉身的人,便确定是属于基督的了。祂也认他们为得胜者。他们已打了美好的仗。当基督再来时,他们将要接受荣耀的冠冕。基督徒所忍受的苦难,使他们彼此更为接近,并更亲近他们的救赎主。(4SP 39-42){CTr 319.6}[6]
得胜的基督-第314章
Thousands were imprisoned and slain; but others sprang up to fill their places. And those who were martyred for their faith were secured to Christ, and accounted of Him as conquerors. They had fought the good fight, and they were to receive the crown of glory when Christ should come. The sufferings that they endured brought Christians nearer to one another and to their Redeemer.—The Spirit of Prophecy 4:39-42.{CTr 319.6}[6]
