得胜的基督-第68章
“于是罗得选择约旦河的全平原,往东迁移;他们就彼此分离了”(创13:11)。{CTr 73.1}[1]
得胜的基督-第68章
Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other.Genesis 13:11.{CTr 73.1}[1]
得胜的基督-第68章
我们从牧人争执的事上,看出亚伯拉罕的特殊品质。他说:“你我不可相争,你的牧人和我的牧人也不可相争,因为我们是骨肉……请你离开我:你向左,我就向右;你向右,我就向左。”{CTr 73.2}[2]
得胜的基督-第68章
We see the marked traits in Abraham’s character when the strife commenced between the herdsmen, and Abraham said, “Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee.... Separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if thou depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left.”{CTr 73.2}[2]
得胜的基督-第68章
罗得看见所多玛的附近最有利于他属世和暂时的兴旺。他就选择了这个地带。假如罗得表现出亚伯拉罕那样的礼貌,他就会让亚伯拉罕先行选择。但亚伯拉罕不视自己高过周围的人;他采取了谦虚的立场。亚伯拉罕有权先作选择,但他宁可在这件事上谦让。{CTr 73.3}[3]
得胜的基督-第68章
Lot saw that the country near Sodom was most favorable for his worldly and temporal prosperity, and he chose that location. If Lot had manifested the same courtesy that Abraham had, he would have given him the choice. But Abraham did not take the position that he was superior to everyone around him; he took a humble position. It was the right of Abraham to make his choice, and to be first, but he chose to be courteous in this matter.{CTr 73.3}[3]
得胜的基督-第68章
罗得只想到属世的兴旺,没有考虑是否最有利于他的道德与敬虔。但时候来到,罗得因玛多玛居民的邪恶,落到了难堪的境遇。当罗得和他的家人被攻入所多玛和蛾摩拉的敌人掳走时,亚伯拉罕前去把他们救了出来。所多玛王请他挑选一些战利品时,亚伯拉罕再一次表现他高尚的品德。他说就是一根线、一根鞋带,他都不拿,免得有人说:“我使亚伯兰富足!”上帝应许亚伯拉罕获得巨大的财富。他不愿有人说,是恶人给了他的财物。我们看到亚伯拉罕每一步都是出于信心。{CTr 73.4}[4]
得胜的基督-第68章
Lot, instead of inquiring whether this would be the most favorable for his morality and godliness, thought only of his worldly prosperity. But the time came when Lot was placed in a most trying position because of the wickedness of the inhabitants of Sodom. When Lot and his family were taken by those who came in to conquer Sodom and Gomorrah, Abraham went to deliver him from his captors. When the king of Sodom would have Abraham take some gifts of the spoils, he there again showed the true nobility of his character. He said he would not take so much as a thread or a shoe tie lest they should say, “I have made Abraham rich.” God had given to Abraham the promise that he should have great riches, and he would not have anyone say that the wicked had given him the treasures he possessed. We see that every step with Abraham was one of faith.{CTr 73.4}[4]
得胜的基督-第68章
我们(从《创世记》第十八章)读到亚伯拉罕坐在他的帐棚前,有客人来找他。……他们是上帝的使者,其中有一位正是上帝的儿子。这些客人走近他的帐棚时,他显然不认识,但是他以礼盛情待客。圣经告诉我们:“不可忘记用爱心接待客旅;因为曾有接待客旅的,不知不觉就接待了天使。”亚伯拉罕做到了这一点。当天上的来客向亚伯拉罕亮明自己的身分时,他们告诉他自己的目的地是所多玛。……虽然亚伯拉罕不在所多玛,与所多玛也没有什么关系,但我们看到他还是非常关心所多玛,希望上帝倘若能放手,就豁免所多玛的毁灭。(Manuscript 1886.19){CTr 73.5}[5]
得胜的基督-第68章
We read [in?Genesis 18] of visitors coming to Abraham as he was sitting in the door of his tent.... These were angels of God, and one of them was no less than the Son of God. When these guests came up to his tent, they were strangers, but he observed the rules of true courtesy toward them. The Word of God tells us to “be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.” Abraham did this. And when the heavenly guests made themselves known to Abraham, they told him what their purpose was in regard to Sodom.... And while Abraham was not in Sodom, was not connected with Sodom, yet we see that he had an intense interest that Sodom should not be destroyed if God could spare it.—Manuscript 19, 1886.{CTr 73.5}[5]
