奋斗与勇敢-第93章
(出32:7-24)
“摩西对亚伦说:这百姓向你作了什么,你竟使他们陷在大罪里”(出32:21)?{CC 98.1}[1]

Exodus 32:7-24[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第93章
亚伦述说百姓的喧嚣吵闹来为自己辩护;……可是他的推辞和搪塞都无济于事。……{CC 98.2}[2]
奋斗与勇敢-第93章
And Moses said unto Aaron, What did this people unto thee, that thou hast brought so great a sin upon them? Exodus 32:21. {CC 98.1}[2]
奋斗与勇敢-第93章
亚伦过去曾那样蒙上帝的赐福,并受祂重用过于众人,这使他的罪显得更可憎了。制造偶像,宣告守节的,就是这“耶和华的圣者”亚伦(诗106:16)。这一个被派作摩西代言人,而又是上帝所说:“我知道他是能言的”亚伦(出4:14),竟未能在拜偶像的人所提出叛逆上天的计划上阻止他们。上帝曾藉着亚伦降灾与埃及人和他们的神。这时他虽听见百姓在神像面前宣告说:“以色列啊,这是领你出埃及地的神,”竟然无动于衷。他曾与摩西一同上山,在那里看见耶和华的荣耀,而且在那荣耀的显示中并没有看到什么可以仿造的像,──而他却将主的荣耀变成吃草之牛的像。上帝所指派代替摩西治理百姓的亚伦,结果倒赞助了他们的叛逆。所以“耶和华也向亚伦甚是发怒,要灭绝他”(申9:20)。但祂答应摩西恳切的代求,饶了他的性命;亚伦为所犯的大罪自卑悔改,才重得上帝的眷爱。{CC 98.3}[3]

Aaron endeavored to shield himself by relating the clamors of the people.... But his excuses and prevarications were of no avail.... {CC 98.2}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第93章
亚伦如能勇敢地主持正义,不计后果,他原可以防止那一件悖逆的罪。如果他能毫不动摇地保持自己对上帝的忠贞,如果他能叫百姓回想西奈山过去的威严,并提醒他们过去与上帝所立顺从祂律法的庄严誓约,他是可以制止这一件罪恶的。但是他依从了百姓的愿望,泰然自若地进行了他们的计划,使他们大胆地陷入更深更重的罪恶之中,比他们起先所想要作的还要厉害。……{CC 98.4}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第93章
The fact that Aaron had been blessed and honored so far above the people was what made his sin so heinous. It was Aaron “the saint of the Lord” (Psalm 106:16), that had made the idol and announced the feast. It was he who had been appointed as spokesman for Moses, and concerning whom God Himself had testified, “I know that he can speak well” (Exodus 4:14), that had failed to check the idolaters in their heaven-daring purpose. He by whom God had wrought in bringing judgments both upon the Egyptians and upon their gods, had heard unmoved the proclamation before the molten image, “These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.” It was he who had been with Moses on the mount, and had there beheld the glory of the Lord, who had seen that in the manifestation of that glory there was nothing of which an image could be made—it was he who had changed that glory into the similitude of an ox. He to whom God had committed the government of the people in the absence of Moses, was found sanctioning their rebellion. “The Lord was very angry with Aaron to have destroyed him” (Deuteronomy 9:20). But in answer to the earnest intercession of Moses, his life was spared: and in penitence and humiliation for his great sin, he was restored to the favor of God. {CC 98.3}[4]

在上帝看来,祂所要刑罚的罪,没有比鼓励别人行恶更为严重的。(PP320-323){CC 98.5}[5]
奋斗与勇敢-第93章
If Aaron had had courage to stand for the right, irrespective of consequences, he could have prevented that apostasy. If he had unswervingly maintained his own allegiance to God, if he had cited the people to the perils of Sinai, and had reminded them of their solemn covenant with God to obey His law, the evil would have been checked. But his compliance with the desires of the people and the calm assurance with which he proceeded to carry out their plans, emboldened them to go to greater lengths in sin than had before entered their minds.... {CC 98.4}[5]
