Valuable Lessons in Jacob’s Experience, March 23
得胜的基督-第84章
“那人说:‘天黎明了,容我去吧!’雅各说:‘你不给我祝福,我就不容你去’”(创32:26)。{CTr 89.1}[1]
得胜的基督-第84章
And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.Genesis 32:26.{CTr 89.1}[1]
得胜的基督-第84章
向受试探的人指出他们的罪行,绝不能激励他们决心向善。……要在他们面前高举他们可能取得的成就,向他们指出他们所能达到的高峰,帮助他们把握主的怜悯,信靠祂赦罪的能力。耶稣正等着拉住他们的手,赐给他们力量过高尚纯洁的人生。{CTr 89.2}[2]
得胜的基督-第84章
To tell tempted souls of their guilt in no way inspires them with a determination to do better.... Hold up before them the possibilities that are theirs. Point them to the heights to which they may attain. Help them to take hold upon the mercy of the Lord, to trust in His forgiving power. Jesus is waiting to clasp them by the hand, waiting to give them power to live a noble, virtuous life.{CTr 89.2}[2]
得胜的基督-第84章
上帝时常引领人遭遇危机,从而显示他们的弱点,向他们指出一切力量的源头。倘若他们祈求,儆醒祷告,勇敢奋斗,他们的弱点就会转化为他们的长处。雅各的经验对我们含有许多有益的教训。上帝教导雅各,凭他自己的力量不可能得胜。他必须和上帝角力,从上头获得力量。{CTr 89.3}[3]
得胜的基督-第84章
God often brings people to a crisis to show them their own weakness and to point them to the Source of strength. If they pray and watch unto prayer, fighting bravely, their weak points will become their strong points. Jacob’s experience contains many valuable lessons for us. God taught Jacob that in his own strength he could never gain the victory, that he must wrestle with God for strength from above.{CTr 89.3}[3]
得胜的基督-第84章
雅各整夜和天使角力。最后那位有力的摔跤手,因大腿被摸了一把而瘸了。他虽然受了伤,并感到剧痛,但是他总不肯放手。他满心悔恨伤痛,抓住天使。……求祂为他祝福。雅各必须确知他的罪已蒙赦免。他的决心越来越坚强,他的信心越来越恳切,越坚忍,一直到底。那天使设法挣脱,对他说:“天黎明了,容我去吧。”但是雅各回答说:“祢不给我祝福,我就不容祢去。”{CTr 89.4}[4]
得胜的基督-第84章
All night Jacob wrestled with the Angel. Finally the strong wrestler was weakened by a touch on his thigh. He was now disabled and suffering the keenest pain, but he would not loose his hold. All penitent and broken, he clung to the Angel, ... pleading for a blessing. He must have the assurance that his sin was pardoned. His determination grew stronger, his faith more earnest and persevering, until the very last. The Angel tried to release Himself; He urged, “Let me go, for the day breaketh,” but Jacob answered, “I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.”{CTr 89.4}[4]
得胜的基督-第84章
如果雅各这话是出于自夸和僭越自恃,他必要立时被杀灭;但他是出于承认自己的不配,而信赖守约之上帝的诚实。……藉着自卑,痛悔和投诚,这个有罪并犯错的人竟胜了天上的君王。他曾用战抖的手紧紧地握住上帝的应许,而无穷慈爱的主总不忍拒绝罪人的恳求。{CTr 89.5}[5]
得胜的基督-第84章
Had this been a boastful, presumptuous confidence, Jacob would have been instantly destroyed; but his was the assurance of one who confesses his own unworthiness, yet trusts to the faithfulness of a covenant-keeping God.... Through humiliation, repentance, and self-surrender this sinful, erring mortal prevailed with the Majesty of heaven. He had fastened his trembling grasp on the promises of God, and the heart of infinite love could not turn away the sinner’s plea.{CTr 89.5}[5]
得胜的基督-第84章
那常使雅各想起自己罪的老名字改成了纪念他得胜的新名,作为他已蒙赦罪的凭据。天使说:“你的名不要再叫雅各(篡夺者),要叫以色列;因为你与神与人较力,都得了胜”(创32:28)。{CTr 89.6}[6]
得胜的基督-第84章
As an evidence that Jacob had been forgiven, his name was changed from one that was a reminder of his sin to one that commemorated his victory. “Thy name,” said the Angel, “shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.”{CTr 89.6}[6]
得胜的基督-第84章
我们是获得上帝的力量,胜了又胜,还是依靠我们自己的力量,最后屡战屡败,因徒劳无功而筋疲力尽?让我们毫无保留地降服于上帝,获得每一个战胜罪恶的人所必须具备的力量。(Manuscript 1903.2){CTr 89.7}[7]
得胜的基督-第84章
Shall we obtain strength from God, and win victory after victory, or shall we try in our own strength, and at last fall back defeated, worn out by vain efforts? Let us, by unreserved surrender to God, obtain the power that everyone must have who conquers in the battle against evil.—Manuscript 2, 1903.{CTr 89.7}[7]
