奋斗与勇敢-第215章
上帝已经吩咐以利亚膏另一个人接替他作先知。祂说:你要“膏……沙法的儿子以利沙作先知接续你”(王上19:16)。以利亚顺从这个命令去找以利沙。……{CC 220.2}[2]

奋斗与勇敢-第215章
以利沙的父亲是一个富足的农夫,在几乎普遍背道的时期,他一家人列在那些未曾向巴力屈膝的人中。他们的家庭是尊敬上帝,又是以坚守古以色列的信仰为日常生活的准则的。以利沙幼年的生活环境就是如此。在乡村的静穆生活中,并在上帝与大自然的教训和实用工作的训练之下,他领受了教训,养成简朴的习惯,顺从父母,顺从上帝,使他有资格担任以后所要占居的崇高地位。{CC 220.3}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第215章
God had bidden Elijah anoint another to be prophet in his stead. “Elisha the son of Shaphat ... shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy room,” He had said; and in obedience to the command, Elijah went to find Elisha.... {CC 220.2}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第215章
以利沙蒙召作先知,乃是在他与父亲的仆人一同耕地的时候。他一向随时随地,尽到本分。他具有领袖的才干,又有谦卑的精神,随时愿意为人服务。他一面具有安静温和的精神,一面具有刚强坚定的特性。正直、忠实、敬爱上帝,都是他的优点。他在日常例行的操劳中获得坚强的意志和高尚的品格,并不断地在恩典和知识上有长进。当他在家庭生活的本分上与他父亲合作时,他就是在学习与上帝合作。{CC 220.4}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第215章
Elisha’s father was a wealthy farmer, a man whose household were among the number that in a time of almost universal apostasy had not bowed the knee to Baal. Theirs was a home where God was honored and where allegiance to the faith of ancient Israel was the rule of daily life. In such surroundings the early years of Elisha were passed. In the quietude of country life, under the teaching of God and nature and the discipline of useful work, he received the training in habits of simplicity and of obedience to his parents and to God that helped to fit him for the high position he was afterward to occupy. {CC 220.3}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第215章
以利沙在小事上忠心,使他有资格担任更重大的责任。他天天藉着实际的经验得到训练,以便从事更广泛更高尚的工作。他学习怎样服侍别人;同时学习怎样教育别人,领导别人。这事对我们都有教训。没有人知道上帝的训练到底有什么旨意;但我们都可以确实知道。人在小事上忠心,乃是他有资格担负更大责任的凭据。人生的每一项行为都是品格的表现;惟有在小事上证明自己是“无愧的工人”(提后2:15)的人,才能蒙上帝喜悦和重视,赐给他更高的服务工作。(PK217,218){CC 220.5}[5]
奋斗与勇敢-第215章
The prophetic call came to Elisha while, with his father’s servants, he was plowing in the field. He had taken up the work that lay nearest. He possessed both the capabilities of a leader among men and the meekness of one who is ready to serve. Of a quiet and gentle spirit, he was nevertheless energetic and steadfast. Integrity, fidelity, and the love and fear of God were his, and in the humble round of daily toil he gained strength of purpose and nobleness of character, constantly increasing in grace and knowledge. While co-operating with his father in the home-life duties, he was learning to co-operate with God. {CC 220.4}[5]
