Keep Your Armor On, December 23
奋斗与勇敢-第358章
“直到你们年老,我仍这样,直到你们发白,我仍怀搋,我已造作,也必保抱,我必怀抱,也必拯救”(赛46:4)。{CC 363.1}[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第358章
And even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you. Isaiah 46:4. {CC 363.1}[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第358章
约翰的历史可以作为一个有力的例证,说明上帝能如何使用老年的工人。当约翰被放逐在拔摩岛时,许多人以为他不能再有所贡献,以为他象一棵枯萎而折断的芦苇,随时可以倒下去。但上帝仍以他为合用的器皿。他虽然被放逐离开他从前工作的教会,但他继续为真理作见证。就是在拔摩岛这样的一个地方,他也结交了一些朋友,引领了一些人悔改。他宣传一位复活的救主。……这是一个喜乐的信息。{CC 363.2}[2]
奋斗与勇敢-第358章
The history of John affords a striking illustration of the way in which God can use aged workers. When John was exiled to the Isle of Patmos, there were many who thought him to be past service, an old and broken reed, ready to fall at any time. But the Lord saw fit to use him still. Though banished from the scenes of his former labor, he did not cease to bear witness to the truth. Even in Patmos he made friends and converts. His was a message of joy, proclaiming a risen Saviour.... {CC 363.2}[2]
奋斗与勇敢-第358章
我们应当以最亲切的关怀对待那些把一生光阴贡献在上帝工作上的人。这些年老的工人曾在风浪和考验之下忠贞不移。他们固然体弱力衰,但他们却具有才能,配在上帝的圣工上担负一分责任。他们虽然疲惫衰弱,不能担负青年人所能够并且应当担负的重任,但他们所能给予青年人的指导却是最有价值的。{CC 363.3}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第358章
The most tender regard should be cherished for those whose life interest has been bound up with the work of God. These aged workers have stood faithful amid storm and trial. They may have infirmities, but they still possess talents that qualify them to stand in their place in God’s cause. Though worn, and unable to bear the heavier burdens that younger men can and should carry, the counsel they can give is of the highest value. {CC 363.3}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第358章
他们过去或许曾经犯过错误,但他们已经从失败的经验中学习如何避免错误和危险,因此他们岂不是很有资格提出智慧的训导么?他们曾经忍受考验和试炼,如今虽然他们元气稍衰,但主并没有撇弃他们。祂必赐给他们特别的恩典和智慧。……上帝要较为年轻的工人与这些忠心的人在一起,藉此得到智慧,力量和经验。……{CC 363.4}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第358章
They may have made mistakes, but from their failures they have learned to avoid errors and dangers, and are they not therefore competent to give wise counsel? They have borne test and trial, and though they have lost some of their vigor, the Lord does not lay them aside. He gives them special grace and wisdom.... The Lord desires the younger laborers to gain wisdom, strength, and maturity by association with these faithful men.... {CC 363.4}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第358章
当那些一生为基督工作的人临近他们地上服务的终点时,他们必要受圣灵的感动,详述他们在上帝的工作上所有的经验。上帝对待祂子民的奇妙作为,祂拯救他们脱离试探的大爱,这些事实应该向那些新近接受信仰的人反复述说。上帝要那些老成练达的工人有他们的地位,尽他们的本分,拯救男男女女不被邪恶的狂澜冲去。上帝要他们把“军装”一直穿在身上,到祂吩咐他们把它卸下为止。(AA572-574){CC 363.5}[5]
奋斗与勇敢-第358章
As those who have spent their lives in the service of Christ draw near to the close of their earthly ministry, they will be impressed by the Holy Spirit to recount the experiences they have had in connection with the work of God. The record of His wonderful dealings with His people, of His great goodness in delivering them from trial, should be repeated to those newly come to the faith. God desires the old and tried laborers to stand in their place, doing their part to save men and women from being swept downward by the mighty current of evil. He desires them to keep the armor on till He bids them lay it down.39 {CC 363.5}[5]
