“义人的口教养多人”(箴10:21)。{CC 9.1}[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第4章
The lips of the righteous feed many. Proverbs 10:21. {CC 9.1}[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第4章
那时虽然罪孽充斥,但仍有一系圣洁的人藉着与上帝交往而成为高尚尊贵的人。他们住在世上好像是与上天为邻为友。这些人有高超的智力和非常的造诣。他们负有重大而神圣的使命──发展公义的品格,将敬虔的教训不但传给当时的众人,也要留给将来的世代。圣经中只提到少数最杰出的人物。但是上帝在各世代都有忠心的见证人,诚心的敬拜者。(PP84){CC 9.2}[2]
奋斗与勇敢-第4章
Notwithstanding the prevailing iniquity, there was a line of holy men who, elevated and ennobled by communion with God, lived as in the companionship of heaven. They were men of massive intellect, of wonderful attainments. They had a great and holy mission—to develop a character of righteousness, to teach a lesson of godliness, not only to the men of their time, but for future generations. Only a few of the most prominent are mentioned in the Scriptures; but all through the ages God had faithful witnesses, truehearted worshipers.3 {CC 9.2}[2]
奋斗与勇敢-第4章
凡信靠上帝圣言的人,自己虽然完全无能为力,却往往抵挡了全世界的权势。内心纯洁、生活圣洁的以诺坚持信心,抵挡了腐败与讥诮的世代,获得正义的胜利。挪亚和他的一家人,抵制了当时体力与智力极强、道德却极为败坏的人。红海边以色列民,原是一班惶恐无助的奴隶,却抵挡了当时地上最强盛国家最精锐的军队。蒙上帝应许将要登上王位的牧童大卫,抵挡了当时的国王、一心维护自己王权的扫罗。烈焰中的沙得拉和他的同伴,抵挡了在位的尼布甲尼撒王。狮子坑中的但以理,抵挡了国中占有高位的仇敌。十字架上的耶稣,抵挡了那班甚至强迫罗马巡抚成全他们意愿的犹太祭司和官长。戴着锁链慷慨就义的保罗,抵挡了世界帝国的暴君尼禄。{CC 9.3}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第4章
How often those who trusted the word of God, though in themselves utterly helpless, have withstood the power of the whole world—Enoch, pure in heart, holy in life, holding fast his faith in the triumph of righteousness against a corrupt and scoffing generation; Noah and his household against the men of his time, men of the greatest physical and mental strength and the most debased in morals; the children of Israel at the Red Sea, a helpless, terrified multitude of slaves, against the mightiest army of the mightiest nation on the globe; David, a shepherd lad, having God’s promise of the throne, against Saul, the established monarch, bent on holding fast his power; Shadrach and his companions in the fire, and Nebuchadnezzar on the throne; Daniel among the lions, his enemies in the high places of the kingdom; Jesus on the cross, and the Jewish priests and rulers forcing even the Roman governor to work their will; Paul in chains led to a criminal’s death, Nero the despot of a world empire. {CC 9.3}[3]

这一类事例不仅在圣经中可以见到,在人类进步的历史上也屡见不鲜。瓦典西人和胡格诺派信徒,威克里夫和胡斯,耶罗姆和路德,廷达尔和诺克斯,钦岑道夫和卫斯理,还有其他许多人,都见证了上帝的圣言能战胜世人维护罪恶的权势与策略。这些人是世上真正的高尚人物。他们是王室的成员。今日的青年蒙召去在这方面接替他们的位置。(Ed254){CC 9.4}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第4章
Such examples are not found in the Bible only. They abound in every record of human progress. The Vaudois and the Huguenots, Wycliffe and Huss, Jerome and Luther, Tyndale and Knox, Zinzendorf and Wesley, with multitudes of others have witnessed to the power of God’s word against human power and policy in support of evil. These are the world’s true nobility. This is its royal line. In this line the youth of today are called to take their places.4 {CC 9.4}[4]
