奋斗与勇敢-第71章
(创39:13-23)
“人用脚镣伤他的脚;他被铁链捆拘。耶和华的话试炼他,直等到祂所说的应验了”(诗105:18,19)。{CC 76.1}[1]

Genesis 39:13-23[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第71章
约瑟忠贞正直却落得个身败名裂,失去自由。这是敬畏上帝的义人所遭受最严峻的考验,以致邪恶似乎得胜,美德却被践踏在尘埃了。……约瑟的信仰使他在一切试炼之中保持温柔的性情,以及热忱而强烈的同情心。……他一入监就把基督徒品格的光实行出来。他开始帮助别人。……他时常快乐,因为他是一位基督化的绅士。上帝正在这种操练之下预备他承受重大的责任和尊榮,起重大的作用。他愿意学习。他虚心地接受上帝给他的教训。他在年轻的时候学习负轭。他先学习自己顺服,再学习管理别人。(1BC.1097){CC 76.2}[2]
奋斗与勇敢-第71章
His feet they hurt with fetters; he was laid in chains of iron: until the time that his word came to pass; the word of the Lord tried him. Psalm 105:18, 19, R.V. {CC 76.1}[2]
奋斗与勇敢-第71章
但是即使在监狱的黑暗之中,约瑟的真品质也照耀出来了。他坚持了他的信心和忍耐;他多年忠心的服务,虽然得到了最残酷的报酬,但这并没有使他忧郁或失去信心。他问心无愧,处之泰然,并将他的案件交托上帝。……就是在监狱里面,他也找到了一种应作的工作。上帝正在苦难的学校中预备他,使他能有更大的用处。他也没有拒绝这必要的锻炼。他在监狱中看到压迫和暴虐的结局,以及犯罪的种种后果,他就学得了公义、同情和慈怜的教训,准备他将来用智慧和慈悲来行使权柄。……约瑟在监牢里日常所作的事,就是他日常生活上所表现的正直,以及对那些困难受苦之人所表示的同情,为他将来的发达和尊荣预备了道路。我们照耀在别人身上的每一线光明都必反射到自己身上。对忧伤的人所说的每一句仁爱同情的话,为解救受压制之人的每一件行为,为帮助穷乏之人的每一点馈赠,只要是出于正当的动机,结果都必使施予者蒙福。(PP218){CC 76.3}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第71章
Joseph’s faithful integrity led to the loss of his reputation and his liberty. This is the severest test that the virtuous and God-fearing are subjected to, that vice seems to prosper while virtue is trampled in the dust.... Joseph’s religion kept his temper sweet and his sympathy with humanity warm and strong, notwithstanding all his trials.... No sooner does he enter upon prison life, than he brings all the brightness of his Christian principles into active exercise; he begins to make himself useful to others.... He is cheerful, for he is a Christian gentleman. God was preparing him under this discipline for a situation of great responsibility, honor, and usefulness, and he was willing to learn; he took kindly to the lessons the Lord would teach him. He learned to bear the yoke in his youth. He learned to govern by first learning obedience himself.15 {CC 76.2}[3]
