奋斗与勇敢-第268章
(路1:13-15;3:1-9)

奋斗与勇敢-第268章
主一直在招呼祂的百姓注意健康改良。这是为人子降临作预备工作的一个主要的分支。施洗约翰本着以利亚的心志与能力,出去预备主的道路。……{CC 273.2}[2]
奋斗与勇敢-第268章
With eyes wide open to the mercies of God, I beg you, my brothers, as an act of intelligent worship, to give him your bodies, as a living sacrifice, consecrated to him and acceptable by him. Romans 12:1, Phillips. {CC 273.1}[2]
奋斗与勇敢-第268章
约翰使自己与朋友和奢华的生活隔离。他服装的简朴——一件骆驼毛织成的衣服,对于当时犹太祭司以及一般民众的奢侈与炫耀,乃是一种经常的谴责。他的纯全素食——蝗虫和野蜜,对于到处流行的放纵食欲与贪吃暴饮,也是一种谴责。……那班要为基督复临预备道路的人,是由忠心的以利亚来代表的,正如约翰本着以利亚的心志来预备基督头一次降临的道路一样。改良的伟大主题要予以极力地提倡。……凡事节制当与这信息相联,使上帝的子民转离他们的偶像,他们的贪食暴饮,以及他们在衣着和其它事上的奢侈浪费。{CC 273.3}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第268章
The Lord has been calling the attention of His people to health reform. This is one of the great branches of the work of preparation for the coming of the Son of man. John the Baptist went forth in the spirit and power of Elijah to prepare the way of the Lord.... {CC 273.2}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第268章
要将上帝向祂特别引导赐福之人所要求的克己、谦卑和节制呈现在人们面前,与那些生存在这堕落世代之人的奢侈浪费,败坏健康的习惯形成对照。……身体与道德败坏的最重大原因,莫过于忽视这一非常重要的题目。那些放纵食欲和情欲的人,以及那些唯恐见到自己所不愿放弃的种种有罪放纵而闭眼不接受亮光的人,在上帝面前是有罪的。人若在一件事上拒绝了亮光,就必硬起心来漠视那照在其它事上的亮光。人若在饮食和服装上违背道德责任,就会门户洞开,进而违背上帝有关永恒福利的要求。我们的身子并不是我们自己的,上帝有权要求我们好好照顾祂赐我们的这个居所,以便将身体献给祂,当作活祭,是圣洁的,是可喜悦的。(3T.61-63){CC 273.4}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第268章
John separated himself from friends and from the luxuries of life. The simplicity of his dress, a garment woven of camel’s hair, was a standing rebuke to the extravagance and display of the Jewish priests, and of the people generally. His diet, purely vegetable, of locusts and wild honey, was a rebuke to the indulgence of appetite and the gluttony that everywhere prevailed.... Those who are to prepare the way for the second coming of Christ are represented by faithful Elijah, as John came in the spirit of Elijah to prepare the way for Christ’s first advent. The great subject of reform is to be agitated.... Temperance in all things is to be connected with the message, to turn the people of God from their idolatry, their gluttony, and their extravagance in dress and other things. {CC 273.3}[4]
