Lessons From Timothy, April 28
高举主耶稣-第119章
“并且知道你是从小明白圣经,这圣经能使你因信基督耶稣,有得救的智慧”(提后3:15)。{LHU132.1}
高举主耶稣-第119章
And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.2 Timothy 3:15.{LHU 132.1}[1]
高举主耶稣-第119章
保罗的同伴西拉原是一个老练的工人,并赋有预言之灵的恩赐;但所必须完成的圣工既是那么多,他们就急需训练更多的工人去进行积极的工作。保罗看出提摩太能体会到传道人之工作的神圣性质,也看出他不怕吃苦,能忍受逼迫,愿意领教。虽然如此,保罗必须先对提摩太的品格和历史作彻底的调查,然后才敢训练这个没有经受过考验的青年去作传道的工作。{LHU132.2}
高举主耶稣-第119章
Silas, Paul’s companion in labor, was a tried worker, gifted with the spirit of prophecy; but the work to be done was so great that there was need of training more laborers for active service. In Timothy, Paul saw one who appreciated the sacredness of the work of a minister; who was not appalled at the prospect of suffering and persecution; and who was willing to be taught. Yet the apostle did not venture to take the responsibility of giving Timothy, an untried youth, a training in the gospel ministry, without first fully satisfying himself in regard to his character and his past life.{LHU 132.2}[2]
高举主耶稣-第119章
提摩太的父亲是希腊人,母亲是犹太人。他从小就熟悉圣经,而且在家庭中所看到的敬虔生活是实际而合理的。他母亲和外祖母对于圣经的信心,不住地使他看出遵行上帝旨意的人所蒙受的福。这两位敬虔的妇女所采用来指导提摩太的标准,乃是上帝的圣言。她们给他的教训所含的属灵力量,保守了他,使他言语纯洁,而生活不受当时邪恶环境的影响。可见他的两个家庭教师很早已同上帝合作,准备他担负重大的事任。{LHU132.3}
高举主耶稣-第119章
Timothy’s father was a Greek and his mother a Jewess. From a child he had known the Scriptures. The piety that he saw in his home life was sound and sensible. The faith of his mother and his grandmother in the sacred oracles was to him a constant reminder of the blessing in doing God’s will. The Word of God was the rule by which these two godly women had guided Timothy. The spiritual power of the lessons that he had received from them kept him pure in speech and unsullied by the evil influences with which he was surrounded. Thus his home instructors had cooperated with God in preparing him to bear burdens.{LHU 132.3}[3]
高举主耶稣-第119章
保罗看出提摩太是忠实,坚定,正直的,所以拣选他为工作与旅行的同伴。在提摩太幼年时教育他的两位妇女,竟看到自己所抚养的孩子与这位伟大的使徒亲密联合,这真是她们一生辛苦的报赏。提摩太在蒙上帝拣选作教师的时候,还不过是一个青年;但他幼年的教育已经为他建立了稳固的人生原则,以致他很有资格作保罗的助手。而且他虽然年轻,但他却能以基督化的谦卑精神负起自己的责任。……{LHU132.4}
高举主耶稣-第119章
Paul saw that Timothy was faithful, steadfast, and true, and he chose him as a companion in labor and travel. Those who had taught Timothy in his childhood were rewarded by seeing the son of their care linked in close fellowship with the great apostle. Timothy was a mere youth when he was chosen by God to be a teacher, but his principles had been so established by his early education that he was fitted to take his place as Paul’s helper. And though young, he bore his responsibilities with Christian meekness....{LHU 132.4}[4]
高举主耶稣-第119章
保罗很爱提摩太,并说他是“因信主”而成了他的“真儿子”(提前1:2)。大使徒保罗时常考问这个青年的门徒关于圣经的历史。在他们旅行的时候,他也用心教导他如何作有效的工作。保罗和西拉……设法加深那已经给予他的印象,就是福音工作者的任务是何等神圣,何等严肃。{LHU132.5}
高举主耶稣-第119章
Paul loved Timothy, his “own son in the faith” (1 Timothy 1:2). The great apostle often drew the younger disciple out, questioning him in regard to Scripture history, and as they traveled from place to place, he carefully taught him how to do successful work. Both Paul and Silas ... sought to deepen the impression ... of the sacred, serious nature of the work of the gospel minister.{LHU 132.5}[5]
高举主耶稣-第119章
提摩太在工作中常请求保罗的意见和指教。这个青年不敢感情用事,却多方考虑,慎重思索,步步询问:这是耶和华的道路吗?圣灵在提摩太的身上得到了一个能受塑造成为上帝居住之圣殿的人。{LHU132.6}
高举主耶稣-第119章
In his work, Timothy constantly sought Paul’s advice and instruction. He did not move from impulse, but exercised consideration and calm thought, inquiring at every step, Is this the way of the Lord? The Holy Spirit found in him one who could be molded and fashioned as a temple for the indwelling of the divine Presence.{LHU 132.6}[6]
高举主耶稣-第119章
每当人将圣经的教训实践在日常生活中时,这些教训就必在他们的品格上发挥深刻而永久的影响。提摩太学习并实践了这些教训。(AA.203-205).{LHU132.7}
高举主耶稣-第119章
As the lessons of the Bible are wrought into the daily life, they have a deep and lasting influence upon the character. These lessons Timothy learned and practiced (The Acts of the Apostles, 203-205).{LHU 132.7}[7]
