得胜的基督-第89章
“他主人见耶和华与他同在……约瑟就在主人眼前蒙恩,伺候他主人,并且主人派他管理家务,把一切所有的都交在他手里”(创39:3,4)。{CTr 94.1}[1]
得胜的基督-第89章
And his master saw that the Lord was with him.... And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.Genesis 39:3, 4.{CTr 94.1}[1]
得胜的基督-第89章
谦卑跟随基督的人,若是愿意把自己交给上帝施行改造的手,祂就能使他们比精金更宝贵,甚至比俄斐的纯金更宝贵。他们应当下定决心最高尚地使用每一个才能和每一个机会。上帝的道应该成为他们研究的对象和他们的向导,决定各种情况下何为最高的和最好的。应当以最深切的兴趣研究那个没有错误的品格,那在福音中树立在他们面前的完全模范。他们要学习的一个最重要的教训就是,唯有良善才能使人真正伟大。……{CTr 94.2}[2]
得胜的基督-第89章
God can make the humblest followers of Christ more precious than fine gold, even than the golden wedge of Ophir, if they yield themselves to His transforming hand. They should be determined to make the noblest use of every faculty and opportunity. The Word of God should be their study and their guide in deciding what is the highest and best in all cases. The one faultless character, the perfect Pattern set before them in the gospel, should be studied with deepest interest. The one lesson essential to learn is that goodness alone is true greatness....{CTr 94.2}[2]
得胜的基督-第89章
基督最软弱的信徒与无穷的能力结盟了。在许多情况下,上帝对有学识的人做不了什么,因为他们觉得不需要依靠祂,祂是一切智慧之源。……{CTr 94.3}[3]
得胜的基督-第89章
The weakest follower of Christ has entered into an alliance with Infinite Power. In many cases God can do little with men and women of learning, because they feel no need of leaning upon Him who is the source of all wisdom....{CTr 94.3}[3]
得胜的基督-第89章
上帝所要的是完全的献身。祂不接纳不完全的献身。你的处境越困难,就越需要耶稣,敬爱上帝的心曾使约瑟在君王的朝廷保持纯洁无瑕。……{CTr 94.4}[4]
得胜的基督-第89章
If you trust in your own strength and wisdom, you will surely fail. God calls for complete and entire consecration, and anything short of this He will not accept. The more difficult your position, the more you need Jesus. The love and fear of God kept Joseph pure and untarnished in the king’s court....{CTr 94.4}[4]
得胜的基督-第89章
身居高位是不可能没有危险的。暴风雨不伤害山谷中谦虚的花朵,却摧折山顶参天的大树。有许多人上帝本可在贫困的压迫中用来取得奇妙的成功──本可以在今生使用他们,并在将来给他们得到荣耀──可是成功毁了他们,他们被拖入泥坑之中,因为他们忘记了谦卑,忘记了上帝是他们的力量,变得自恃自满了。{CTr 94.5}[5]
得胜的基督-第89章
It is impossible to stand upon a lofty height without danger. The tempest leaves unharmed the modest flower of the valley, while it wrestles with the lofty tree upon the mountain height. There are many people whom God could have used in poverty—He could have made them useful there, and crowned them with glory hereafter—but prosperity ruined them. They were dragged down to the pit, because they forgot to be humble—forgot that God was their strength—and became independent and self-sufficient.{CTr 94.5}[5]
得胜的基督-第89章
约瑟在逆境中经受了品格的考验,精金没有因成功而失色。当他站在宝座前面时,他表显出与在监狱里一样的对上帝旨意的尊崇。约瑟到处实行他的宗教,这就是他坚贞不移的秘密。你们作为代表,也应拥有真敬虔的渗透一切的能力。你们必须隐藏在耶稣里面。你们若不拉着基督的手就不安全。你们必须防备自以为是之类的毛病,抱着宁可受苦也不愿犯罪的精神。你们所取得的任何胜利,其价值都比不上战胜自我。当基督占领我们的情感时,我们自私的野心,争大的欲望,都必死去。(Manuscript 1889.14){CTr 94.6}[6]
得胜的基督-第89章
Joseph bore the test of character in adversity, and the gold was undimmed by prosperity. He showed the same sacred regard for God’s will when he stood next to the throne as when in the prisoner’s cell. Joseph carried his religion everywhere, and this was the secret of his unwavering fidelity. As a representative of Christ, you must have the all-pervading power of godliness. You must be hid in Jesus. You are not safe unless you hold the hand of Christ. You must guard against everything like presumption and cherish that spirit that would rather suffer than sin. No victory you can gain will be so precious as that gained over self. Selfish ambition, desire for supremacy, will die when Christ takes possession of the affections.—Manuscript 14, 1889.{CTr 94.6}[6]
