奋斗与勇敢-第270章
(约3:23-36)
“故此我这喜乐满足了,祂必兴旺,我必衰微”(约3:29,30)。{CC 275.1}[1]

John 3:23-36[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第270章
在世界历史的每一阶段,上帝都有祂的代表来推进祂的工作。……施洗约翰的出生是为了从事祂所指定的特别工作,这就是预备主的道路。(5BC.1115){CC 275.2}[2]

That is why my happiness is now complete. He must grow greater and greater and I less and less. John 3:29, 30, Phillips. {CC 275.1}[2]
奋斗与勇敢-第270章
在基督开始传道之后,约翰的门徒到他面前来抱怨说众人都跟从那新教师了。约翰回答的话却表明他是何等透彻地认识到自己和弥赛亚之间的关系,何等快乐地欢迎他所为之预备道路的那一位。(8T333){CC 275.3}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第270章
In every stage of this earth’s history God has had His agencies to carry forward His work.... John the Baptist had a special work, for which he was born and to which he was appointed—the work of preparing the way of the Lord.39 {CC 275.2}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第270章
上帝选召约翰,要他领导改革的工作。因此,他的门徒就难免只注意到他一个人,……而忘记了他不过是上帝手中的工具。然而约翰的工作,尚不足以奠立基督教会的根基。他的任务既已完成,便有另一种工作必须进行,是他的见证所不能成就的。约翰的门徒不明白这一层。所以他们看见耶稣来进行这工作时,心中就嫉妒而不满意了。{CC 275.4}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第270章
When, after Christ’s ministry began, the disciples of John came to him with the complaint that all men were following the new Teacher, John showed how clearly he understood his relation to the Messiah, and how gladly he welcomed the One for whom he had prepared the way.40 {CC 275.3}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第270章
同样的危险至今仍然存在。上帝选召一个人从事某种工作,等到他尽了所有的能力把工作进行到相当程度之后,主又使别人前来,将工作发展得更为远大。但是有许多人却像约翰的门徒一样,以为事情的成功少不了原先的人。于是众人的眼目只注意人而不注意上帝,嫉妒乘机而入,上帝的工作就受到损害。并且这个过分受尊敬的人,也就入了自恃自矜的迷惑,而不觉得自己的依靠乃是上帝。众人习于依靠人的指导,终至……被引离开了上帝。{CC 275.5}[5]
奋斗与勇敢-第270章
John had been called to lead out as a reformer. Because of this, his disciples were in danger of fixing their attention upon him ... and losing sight of the fact that he was only an instrument through which God had wrought. But the work of John was not sufficient to lay the foundation of the Christian church. When he had fulfilled his mission, another work was to be done, which his testimony could not accomplish. His disciples did not understand this. When they saw Christ coming in to take the work, they were jealous and dissatisfied. {CC 275.4}[5]
奋斗与勇敢-第270章
上帝的工作不可带有人的形像和名号(见太22:20)。上帝往往召呼不同才干的人,藉着他们来使祂的旨意奏最大的成效。凡肯谦心虚己,与施洗约翰同说“他必兴旺,我必衰微”的人,是有福的。(DA182){CC 275.6}[6]
奋斗与勇敢-第270章
The same dangers still exist. God calls a man to do a certain work; and when he has carried it as far as he is qualified to take it, the Lord brings in others, to carry it still farther. But, like John’s disciples, many feel that the success of the work depends on the first laborer. Attention is fixed upon the human instead of the divine, jealousy comes in, and the work of God is marred. The one thus unduly honored is tempted to cherish self-confidence. He does not realize his dependence on God. The people are taught to rely on man for guidance, ... and are led away from God. {CC 275.5}[6]
