Luke 1:5-23[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第266章
上帝已呼召撒迦利亚的儿子从事一项最伟大的工作。从来没有人受过比这更大的委托。……约翰是要出去作耶和华的使者,将上帝的光带给世人。他必须使他们的思想转到新的方向。他必须使他们领会上帝律法的圣洁,并感到需要上帝完全的义。这样的使者必须是圣洁的。他必须成为上帝圣灵居住的殿。为完成他的使命,他必须有健全的体力,智力和灵力。因此他需要控制食欲和情欲,管好自己的一切的能力,以致可以屹立于人间,如同旷野里的磐石和山岭一样,不为环境所动摇。{CC 271.2}[2]
奋斗与勇敢-第266章
He will go out before God in the spirit and power of Elijah—to reconcile fathers and children, and bring back the disobedient to the wisdom of good men—and he will make a people fully ready for their Lord. Luke 1:17, Phillips. {CC 271.1}[2]
奋斗与勇敢-第266章
在施洗约翰的时代,贪爱钱财,喜好奢华炫耀之风盛行。肉体的享乐,宴会和醉酒,造成了身体的疾病和衰弱,麻痹了属灵的理解力,减低了对于罪的警觉。约翰来是要作一个改革者,以自己节制的生活,简朴的服装,来责备那时代放纵无度的习尚。因此便有种种指示赐给约翰的父母,──从天上宝座那里来的天使带给他们节制食欲的教训。……{CC 271.3}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第266章
God had called the son of Zacharias to a great work, the greatest ever committed to men.... John was to go forth as Jehovah’s messenger, to bring to men the light of God. He must give a new direction to their thoughts. He must impress them with the holiness of God’s requirements, and their need of His perfect righteousness. Such a messenger must be holy. He must be a temple for the indwelling Spirit of God. In order to fulfill his mission, he must have a sound physical constitution, and mental and spiritual strength. Therefore it would be necessary for him to control the appetites and passions. He must be able so to control all his powers that he could stand among men as unmoved by surrounding circumstances as the rocks and mountains of the wilderness. {CC 271.2}[3]

他为基督第一次降临预备道路,正是代表为我们的主第二次降临“预备合用的百姓”的那一班人。世界如今正沉溺于任性放纵之中。错误和荒谬之说充斥各处。撒但陷害人的罗网愈来愈多。凡敬畏上帝而愿达到完全圣洁的人,必须学习节制和自约的教训。食欲和情感必须服从更高理智的约束。这种自我的锻炼是我们培养心智的力量和属灵的见识所必不可少的。有了这些,我们才能明白并实行圣经中的神圣真理。为了这个缘故,在预备迎见基督第二次降临的工作上,节制食欲的教训是有其地位的。(DA100,101){CC 271.4}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第266章
In the time of John the Baptist, greed for riches, and the love of luxury and display had become widespread. Sensuous pleasures, feasting and drinking, were causing physical disease and degeneracy, benumbing the spiritual perceptions, and lessening the sensibility to sin. John was to stand as a reformer. By his abstemious life and plain dress he was to rebuke the excesses of his time. Hence the directions given to the parents of John,—a lesson of temperance by an angel from the throne of heaven.... {CC 271.3}[4]
