(太3:1-12)
“看哪,上帝的羔羊,除去世人罪孽的”(约1:29)。{CC 274.1}[1]

Matthew 3:1-12[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第269章
施洗约翰的影响曾一时遍于国内,比许多首领、祭司和君王的影响还大。如果他宣布自己是弥赛亚,揭竿而起,来反抗罗马政府,祭司和民众一定会云集在他旗帜之下的。撒但拿一切足以打动世上雄主之野心的欲望,准备来怂恿施洗约翰。但是约翰虽然知道自己有那么大的势力,但仍能毅然拒绝这个优美的诱饵。他将众人集中在他身上的注意力,转移到另一位的身上。现在他看见民心的趋向,离开了他而转向救主。他周围的听众一天一天地减少了。……{CC 274.2}[2]

Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. John 1:29. {CC 274.1}[2]
奋斗与勇敢-第269章
约翰的门徒……来见约翰,说:“拉比,从前同你在约旦河外,你所见证的那位,现在施洗,众人都往祂那里去了。”撒但利用这几句话来试探约翰。虽然约翰的任务似乎将告结束,但他仍可能拦阻基督的工作。如果他顾惜自己,并因被撤替而表示悲愤或失望,这就撒下了不和睦的种子,助长了嫉妒和猜忌,严重地阻碍福音的进展。{CC 274.3}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第269章
For a time the Baptist’s influence over the nation had been greater than that of its rulers, priests, or princes. If he had announced himself as the Messiah, and raised a revolt against Rome, priests and people would have flocked to his standard. Every consideration that appeals to the ambition of the world’s conquerors Satan had stood ready to urge upon John the Baptist. But with the evidence before him of his power, he had steadfastly refused the splendid bribe. The attention which was fixed upon him he had directed to Another. Now he saw the tide of popularity turning away from himself to the Saviour. Day by day the crowds about him lessened.... {CC 274.2}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第269章
约翰本有人类所共有的缺点和软弱,然而上帝之爱的感化力,已将他变化过来。他生存在一种不为自私和野心所沾染的气氛之中,超脱嫉妒的乌烟瘴气。……救主工作的成功,就是他的喜乐。……{CC 274.4}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第269章
The disciples of John came to him ... saying, “Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou bearest witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to him.” Through these words, Satan brought temptation upon John. Though John’s mission seemed about to close, it was still possible for him to hinder the work of Christ. If he had sympathized with himself, and expressed grief or disappointment at being superseded, he would have sown the seeds of dissension, would have encouraged envy and jealousy, and would seriously have impeded the progress of the gospel. {CC 274.3}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第269章
约翰凭着信心仰望救赎主,已达到舍己的最高峰。他并不想吸引人注意自己,乃是要提高他们的思想,高而又高,直到上帝的羔羊身上。他本身不过是一个声音,就是旷野的人声。现在他就快乐地静默隐退,使众人的眼目,可以转向那生命的光。凡忠于作上帝使者之任务的人,必不求自己的尊荣。爱己之念,必被爱基督的心所吞没。(DA178,179){CC 274.5}[5]
奋斗与勇敢-第269章
John had by nature the faults and weaknesses common to humanity, but the touch of divine love had transformed him. He dwelt in an atmosphere uncontaminated with selfishness and ambition, and far above the miasma of jealousy.... It was his joy to witness the success of the Saviour’s work.... {CC 274.4}[5]
