Joshua 24[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第120章
约书亚感觉自己年老力衰,知道自己的工作不久必须结束,所以他念及百姓的前途,不禁忧心如焚。当他们再一次聚集在他们这年老的领袖身边时,他向他们发出一番胜于父子之情的训词说。……{CC 125.2}[2]

Choose you this day whom ye will serve. Joshua 24:15. {CC 125.1}[2]
奋斗与勇敢-第120章
由于约书亚的指示,约柜已从示罗运来。因为这是一次极严肃的聚会,他希望这个象征上帝同在的圣物,能使百姓受到深刻的印象。他向以色列人说明了上帝的良善之后,就奉耶和华的圣名,叫他们选择究竟要选择侍奉谁。那时在民间多少还有私下拜偶像的事,所以约书亚希望能叫他们下决心,从以色列中除掉这罪。……约书亚希望他们侍奉上帝不是出于勉强,乃是出于乐意。……{CC 125.3}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第120章
As Joshua felt the infirmities of age stealing upon him, and realized that his work must soon close, he was filled with anxiety for the future of his people. It was with more than a father’s interest that he addressed them, as they gathered once more about their aged chief.... {CC 125.2}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第120章
约书亚说:“至于我,和我家,我们必定侍奉耶和华。”那感到这位领袖的圣洁热情,这时也感到了百姓的心。他的恳切引出了百姓毫不犹豫的反应,说“我们断不敢离弃耶和华去侍奉别神。”……约书亚要他的听众慎重地衡量自己的话。如果他们还没有准备实践,就不要轻易立约。这时,百姓又以深切的热诚再次声明说:“不然,我们定要侍奉耶和华。”他们严肃的承认约书亚为见证人,见证他们已经选择侍奉耶和华,他们重述效忠上帝的应许说:“我们必侍奉耶和华我们的上帝,听从祂的话。”……他把这严肃的誓约抄写下来,与律法书一同放在约柜旁边。……{CC 125.4}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第120章
By Joshua’s direction the ark had been brought from Shiloh. The occasion was one of great solemnity, and this symbol of God’s presence would deepen the impression he wished to make upon the people. After presenting the goodness of God toward Israel, he called upon them, in the name of Jehovah, to choose whom they would serve. The worship of idols was still to some extent secretly practiced, and Joshua endeavored now to bring them to a decision that should banish this sin from Israel.... Joshua desired to lead them to serve God, not by compulsion, but willingly.... {CC 125.3}[4]

约书亚为以色列人所作的工作已经完成。他曾“专心跟从耶和华;”圣经称他为“耶和华的仆人。”对于他作公众领袖时所表现的高尚人格,以下有关他所服务之世代的记载是最有力的见证:“约书亚在世,和约书亚死后,那些知道耶和华为以色列人所行诸事的长老还在的时候,以色列人侍奉耶和华。”(PP521-524){CC 125.5}[5]
奋斗与勇敢-第120章
“As for me and my house,” said Joshua, “we will serve Jehovah.” The same holy zeal that inspired the leader’s heart was communicated to the people. His appeals called forth the unhesitating response, “God forbid that we should forsake Jehovah, to serve other gods.” ... Joshua endeavored to lead his hearers to weigh well their words, and refrain from vows which they would be unprepared to fulfill. With deep earnestness they repeated the declaration: “Nay; but we will serve the Lord.” Solemnly consenting to the witness against themselves that they had chosen Jehovah, they once more reiterated their pledge of loyalty: “The Lord our God will we serve, and his voice will we obey....” Having written an account of this solemn transaction, he placed it, with the book of the law, in the side of the ark.... {CC 125.4}[5]
