高举主耶稣-第266章
“你要认识上帝,就得平安;福气也必临到你”(伯22:21)。{LHU279.1}
高举主耶稣-第266章
Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee. Job 22:21. {LHU 279.1}
高举主耶稣-第266章
耶稣说过:“父自己爱你们”(约16:27)。我们的信仰若藉着基督而奠定于上帝之中,就必证实“如同灵魂的锚,又坚固又牢靠,且通入幔内。作先锋的耶稣……为我们进入幔内”(来6:19,20)。不错,将来有许多不幸的事要临到我们;我们必遇到苦难;但我们当将一切,无论大小的事,都交于上帝。祂不会因为我们的千愁万苦而茫然无措,也不会被我们的重担所压倒。祂留心照顾的范围,遍及每一家庭,包括每一个人;祂关怀我们一切的事及我们的忧患。祂记下每滴眼泪;祂体恤我们的软弱。我们今生所遇到的一切苦难及磨炼,都是经祂许可的,为要实现祂爱我们的旨意,“使我们在祂的圣洁上有份”(来12:10),这样,就可分享那在祂面前得到的满足的喜乐。{LHU279.2}
高举主耶稣-第266章
Said Jesus: “The Father himself loveth you.” If our faith is fixed upon God, through Christ, it will prove “as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which entereth into that within the veil; whither the forerunner is for us entered.” It is true that disappointments will come; tribulation we must expect; but we are to commit everything, great and small, to God. He does not become perplexed by the multiplicity of our grievances nor overpowered by the weight of our burdens. His watchcare extends to every household and enriches every individual; He is concerned in all our business and our sorrows. He marks every tear; He is touched with the feeling of our infirmities. All the afflictions and trials that befall us here are permitted, to work out His purposes of love toward us, “that we might be partakers of his holiness,” and thus become participants in that fullness of joy which is found in His presence.... {LHU 279.2}

圣经用最有力的口气向我们说明了认识上帝是何等的重要。彼得说:“愿恩惠、平安因你们认识上帝和我们主耶稣,多多地加给你们。”“上帝的神能已将一切关乎生命和虔敬的事赐给我们,皆因我们认识那用自己荣耀和美德召我们的主”(彼后1:1,2)。圣经也吩咐我们:“你要认识上帝,就得平安”(伯22:21)。{LHU279.3}
高举主耶稣-第266章
The Bible in strongest terms sets before us the importance of obtaining a knowledge of God. Says Peter: “Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord.” “His divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue.” And the Scripture bids us: “Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace.” {LHU 279.3}
高举主耶稣-第266章
上帝已命令我们:“你们要圣洁,因为我是圣洁的”(彼前1:16)。还有一位蒙圣灵默示的使徒说:“非圣洁没有人能见主”(来12:14)。圣洁是与上帝相合的。上帝在人身上的形像被罪所玷污而几乎涂灭了;福音的工作就是要恢复那已经失去的;我们也是在这种工作上要与上帝的能力合作。我们若不认识上帝,怎能与上帝相合,怎能接受祂的形像呢?基督降世向我们表明的,就是这种知识。{LHU279.4}
高举主耶稣-第266章
God has commanded us, “Ye shall be holy; for I the Lord your God am holy”; and an inspired apostle declares that without holiness “no man shall see the Lord.” Holiness is agreement with God. By sin the image of God in man has been marred and well-nigh obliterated; it is the work of the gospel to restore that which has been lost; and we are to cooperate with the divine agency in this work. And how can we come into harmony with God, how shall we receive His likeness, unless we obtain a knowledge of Him? It is this knowledge that Christ came into the world to reveal unto us. {LHU 279.4}
高举主耶稣-第266章
许多人对于基督崇高的品性及其职务,见识浅薄,以致自己的宗教经验狭隘,并在属灵生活的进展上大有妨碍。在我们这等人之中,个人的宗教经验已趋于低潮。现今有许多的形式,许多的机构,许多口头上的宗教;但我们却当有些更深刻而更结实的东西,加入我们的宗教经验中。……我们的需要,就是藉着实验的知识,去认识上帝在基督里所显明的大爱和能力。我们必须殷勤而虔诚地研究圣经;我们的悟性必须由圣灵苏醒,我们的心灵必须藉着信心,指望,及不住的赞美,而高举到上帝之前。(5T.742-744).{LHU279.5}
高举主耶稣-第266章
The meager views which so many have had of the exalted character and office of Christ have narrowed their religious experience and have greatly hindered their progress in the divine life. Personal religion among us as a people is at a low ebb. There is much form, much machinery, much tongue religion; but something deeper and more solid must be brought into our religious experience.... What we need is to know God and the power of His love, as revealed in Christ, by an experimental knowledge. We must search the Scriptures diligently, prayerfully; our understanding must be quickened by the Holy Spirit, and our hearts must be uplifted to God in faith and hope and continual praise (Testimonies for the Church 5:742-744). {LHU 279.5}
