奋斗与勇敢-第259章
(尼2:9-20)
“我告诉他们我上帝施恩的手怎样帮助我。……他们就说,我们起来建造吧,于是他们奋勇作这善工”(尼2:18)。{CC 264.1}[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第259章
Nehemiah 2:9-20[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第259章
这位来访者伤心地从远处凝视他所爱的耶路撒冷毁坏了的城墙,天上的使者岂也不是如此观看基督教会的状况吗?我们象耶路撒冷的居民那样,对现存的罪恶无动于衷,不想努力予以纠正。但神圣的使者将要如何看待这些罪恶呢?他们难道不会象尼希米一样,悲愤地观看被拆毁的城墙和被火焚烧了的城门吗?(3BC.1136){CC 264.2}[2]
奋斗与勇敢-第259章
Then I told them of the hand of my God which was good upon me ... and they said, Let us rise up and build. So they strengthened their hands for this good work. Nehemiah 2:18. {CC 264.1}[2]
奋斗与勇敢-第259章
尼希米固然带有王家的任命,叫圣城的居民都协助他修建城墙,但他并没有依靠发号施令的方法,而却设法赢得民众的信任与同情。因为他知道当前的伟大事工非但需要群策群力,也需要同心同德。(PK637){CC 264.3}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第259章
With sorrow-stricken heart, the visitor from afar gazed upon the ruined defenses of his loved Jerusalem. And is it not thus that angels of heaven survey the condition of the church of Christ? Like the dwellers at Jerusalem, we become accustomed to existing evils, and often are content while making no effort to remedy them. But how are these evils regarded by beings divinely illuminated? Do not they, like Nehemiah, look with sorrow-burdened heart upon ruined walls, and gates burned with fire? 22 {CC 264.2}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第259章
今日的教会需要尼希米那样的人。他们不仅能祷告和讲道,而且带着坚定热忱的宗旨。……尼希米工作的成功表明祈祷、信心、智慧和活力的功效。……领袖所表显的精神,在很大的程度上会反映在百姓身上。如果领袖们自称是相信那考验当今世代的严肃而重要的真理,却并不热心去预备人们在上帝的大日能站立得住,那么教会必然是漫不经心,闲懒和贪爱宴乐的。(3BC.1137){CC 264.4}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第259章
Nehemiah bore a royal commission requiring the inhabitants to cooperate with him in rebuilding the walls of the city, but he did not depend upon the exercise of authority. He sought rather to gain the confidence and sympathy of the people, knowing that a union of hearts as well as of hands was essential in the great work before him.23 {CC 264.3}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第259章
尼希米是一位改革家,也是为重要的时代而兴起的一位伟人。每当他遭遇罪恶与各种反对的时候,就产生新的勇气和热情。他的活力和决心鼓舞了耶路撒冷的百姓。于是勇敢和力量代替了衰弱和灰心。他圣洁的宗旨,崇高的盼望以及他乐于献身工作的精神,具有很大的感染力。人们都感受到他们领袖的热情,并在他们各自的范围内也成为一个尼希米,帮助他的邻居,加强他们身心的力量。(3BC.1137){CC 264.5}[5]
奋斗与勇敢-第259章
There is need of Nehemiahs in the church today,—not men who can pray and preach only, but men whose prayers and sermons are braced with firm and eager purpose.... The success attending Nehemiah’s efforts shows what prayer, faith, and wise, energetic action will accomplish.... The spirit manifested by the leader will be, to a great extent, reflected by the people. If the leaders professing to believe the solemn, important truths that are to test the world at this time, manifest no ardent zeal to prepare a people to stand in the day of God, we must expect the church to be careless, indolent, and pleasure-loving.24 {CC 264.4}[5]
