奋斗与勇敢-第152章
(撒上15:)
“我立扫罗为王,我后悔了;因为他转去不跟从我,不遵守我的命令”(撒上15:11)。{CC 157.1}[1]

1 Samuel 15[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第152章
当扫罗和他的军队在胜利的狂欢之中凯旋时,先知撒母耳的家里却有深沉的忧伤。耶和华给他一个信息,斥责王的作为。……先知为这叛逆之王的行为深为忧伤,他终于哭泣,祈求上帝收回这可怕的成命。{CC 157.2}[2]

It repenteth me that I have set up Saul to be king: for he is turned back from following me, and hath not performed my commandments. 1 Samuel 15:11. {CC 157.1}[2]

上帝的后悔不象人的后悔。“以色列的大能者,必不至说谎,也不至后悔;因为祂迥非世人,决不后悔”。人的后悔指着他心意的改变。上帝的后悔指着景况和关系的改变。人可以藉着迎合蒙上帝眷爱的条件而改变他与上帝的关系,或者他也可以藉着自己的行动而置身于蒙恩的条件之外;但耶和华“昨日今日一直到永远是一样的”(来13:8)。扫罗的悖逆改变了他自己与上帝的关系;但蒙上帝悦纳的条件是没有改变的,──上帝的要求仍旧一样;“在祂并没有改变,也没有转动的影儿”(雅1:17)。{CC 157.3}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第152章
While Saul and his army were marching home in the flush of victory, there was deep anguish in the home of Samuel the prophet. He had received a message from the Lord denouncing the course of the king.... The prophet was deeply grieved over the course of the rebellious king, and he wept and prayed all night for a reversing of the terrible sentence. {CC 157.2}[3]

第二天清早,先知带着一颗伤痛的心起身去迎接这犯了错误的王。撒母耳希望扫罗在经过反省之后,能觉悟自己的罪,并藉着悔改和自卑重得上帝的恩眷。但是人在犯罪的路上走了第一步之后,就更容易走第二步。扫罗已因悖逆而败坏了人格;他来迎接撒母耳时,口吐谎言道:“愿耶和华赐福与你,耶和华的命令我已遵守了。”先知耳中所听到的声音证明这悖逆的王所说的话是不对的。(PP629,630){CC 157.4}[4]

God’s repentance is not like man’s repentance. “The Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for he is not a man, that he should repent.” Man’s repentance implies a change of mind. God’s repentance implies a change of circumstances and relations. Man may change his relation to God by complying with the conditions upon which he may be brought into the divine favor, or he may, by his own action, place himself outside the favoring condition; but the Lord is the same “yesterday, and to day, and for ever” (Hebrews 13:8). Saul’s disobedience changed his relation to God; but the conditions of acceptance with God were unaltered—God’s requirements were still the same, for with Him there “is no variableness, neither shadow of turning” (James 1:17). {CC 157.3}[4]

扫罗甚至在有羊叫牛鸣证明他的罪过时,还否认自己的罪。(LT.1893.12A){CC 157.5}[5]
奋斗与勇敢-第152章
With an aching heart the prophet set forth the next morning to meet the erring king. Samuel cherished a hope that, upon reflection, Saul might become conscious of his sin, and by repentance and humiliation be again restored to the divine favor. But when the first step is taken in the path of transgression the way becomes easy. Saul, debased by his disobedience, came to meet Samuel with a lie upon his lips. He exclaimed, “Blessed be thou of the Lord: I have performed the commandment of the Lord.” The sounds that fell on the prophet’s ears disproved the statement of the disobedient king.61 {CC 157.4}[5]
