奋斗与勇敢-第192章
“少年人哪!你在幼年时当快乐;在幼年的日子,使你的心欢畅,行你心所愿行的,看你眼所爱看的:却要知道,为这一切的事,上帝必审问你”(传11:9)。{CC 197.1}[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第192章
Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment. Ecclesiastes 11:9. {CC 197.1}[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第192章
所罗门人生的教训,对于那些不再登山,而是下山并面对夕阳的老年人的生活,有着特别的意义。我们从不受耶稣基督里的信心和爱心所支配的的青年人身上,会看到品格的缺陷。我们会看到青年人摇摆于是非之间,动荡于坚定的原则和几乎难以抗拒的罪恶潮流之间。这股潮流要使他们跌倒败亡。但是我们在成年人身上看到较好的情况。希望他们的品格得以建造,原则得以扎根,能脱离污染的危险。但是所罗门的历史,是警告我们的灯塔。当你这位年迈的久经沙场的天路客旅,自以为站立得稳的时候,要谨防跌倒。所罗门生性勇敢坚定,可是在试探的权势下,竟象风中的芦苇一样摇动,这说明他的品格是多么软弱和摇摆不定。苍劲古老的黎巴嫩雪松和巴珊的大橡树,在试探的风暴前何竟屈服!对于凡要救自己灵魂的人,这是何等大的教训啊,要时时警醒,常常祷告!又是何等大的警告啊,要把基督的恩典时常存在心中,与内在的腐败和外面的试探作斗争!(2BC.1031,1032){CC 197.2}[2]
奋斗与勇敢-第192章
The lesson to be learned from the life of Solomon has a special moral bearing upon the life of the aged, of those who are no longer climbing the mountain but are descending and facing the western sun. We expect to see defects in the characters of youth who are not controlled by love and faith in Jesus Christ. We see youth wavering between right and wrong, vacillating between fixed principle and the almost overpowering current of evil that is bearing them off their feet to ruin. But of those of mature age we expect better things. We look for the character to be established, for principles to be rooted, and for them to be beyond the danger of pollution. But the case of Solomon is before us as a beacon of warning. When thou, aged pilgrim who hast fought the battles of life, thinkest that thou standest take heed lest thou fall. How, in Solomon’s case, was weak, vacillating character, naturally bold, firm, and determined, shaken like a reed in the wind under the tempter’s power! How was an old gnarled cedar of Lebanon, a sturdy oak of Bashan, bent before the blast of temptation! What a lesson for all who desire to save their souls to watch unto prayer continually! What a warning to keep the grace of Christ ever in their heart, to battle with inward corruptions and outward temptations! 23 {CC 197.2}[2]

但愿没有人象他那样大胆犯罪,指望也能回到正路。放纵罪恶只会蒙受无限的损失。但是堕落的人也不要自暴自弃以致绝望。一度被上帝尊重的老年人也许玷污了他们的心灵,把他们的美德牺牲在了情欲的坛上,但是如果他们能悔改,离弃罪并转向上帝,他们还是有希望的。{CC 197.3}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第192章
Let none venture into sin as he did, in the hope that they too may recover themselves. Sin can be indulged only at the peril of infinite loss. But none who have fallen need give themselves up to despair. Aged men, once honored of God, may have defiled their souls, sacrificing virtue on the altar of lust; but there is still hope for them if they repent, forsake sin, and turn to God. {CC 197.3}[3]

所罗门滥用高贵的才能,应成为所有人的警诫。惟有良善才是真正的伟大。(LT.1891.8.B){CC 197.4}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第192章
The misapplication of noble talents in Solomon’s case should be a warning to all. Goodness alone is true greatness.24 {CC 197.4}[4]
