高举主耶稣-第322章
“为什么看见你弟兄眼中有刺”(太7:3)?{LHU335.1}
高举主耶稣-第322章
Why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye? Matthew 7:3. {LHU 335.1}
高举主耶稣-第322章
那些擅自批评论断弟兄的人,其罪行的严重性,甚至连“你这论断人的,自己所行却和别人一样”这一句话也未能充分表达。耶稣说:“为什么看见你弟兄眼中有刺,却不想自己眼中有梁木呢?”{LHU335.2}
高举主耶稣-第322章
Even the sentence, “Thou that judgest does the same things,” does not reach the magnitude of his sin who presumes to criticize and condemn his brother. Jesus said, “Why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?” {LHU 335.2}
高举主耶稣-第322章
祂的话形容那些积极挑剔别人缺点的人。他们一旦自以为发现了别人品格或生活上的缺点,就分外地热心试图把它宣扬出来。但耶稣却宣称:这种非基督化的行为所养成的品性,与他们所批评的缺点比起来,就如梁木与刺相比一样。由于缺乏宽容仁爱的精神,人会把一粒原子也当作一个星球。凡没有经过悔改而完全献身与基督的人,就不会在生活上表现救主慈爱感服人心的影响力。他们误表了福音温柔谦恭的精神,伤害了基督所为之舍命的宝贵生灵。……{LHU335.3}
高举主耶稣-第322章
His words describe one who is swift to discern a defect in others. When he thinks he has detected a flaw in the character of the life he is exceedingly zealous in trying to point it out; but Jesus declares that the very trait of character developed in doing this un-Christlike work is, in comparison with the fault criticized, as a beam in proportion to a mote. It is one’s own lack of the spirit of forbearance and love that leads him to make a world of an atom. Those who have never experienced the contrition of an entire surrender to Christ do not in their life make manifest the softening influence of the Saviour’s love. They misrepresent the gentle, courteous spirit of the gospel and wound precious souls, for whom Christ died.... {LHU 335.3}
高举主耶稣-第322章
唯有基督才是品格的真标准。凡把自己立为他人标准的人,就是把自己放在基督的地位上。天父既已“将审判的事全交与子”(约5:22),凡擅自论断他人动机的人,就是篡夺了上帝圣子的权利。那些自命为审判官和批评家的人,乃是投身于敌基督者的一边。“他是抵挡主,高抬自己,超过一切称为神的,和一切受人敬拜的,甚至坐在上帝殿里,自称是上帝”(帖后2:4)。{LHU335.4}
高举主耶稣-第322章
Christ is the only true standard of character, and he who sets himself up as a standard for others is putting himself in the place of Christ. And since the Father “hath committed all judgment unto the Son” whoever presumes to judge the motives of others is again usurping the prerogative of the Son of God. These would-be judges and critics are placing themselves on the side of antichrist, “who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.” {LHU 335.4}
高举主耶稣-第322章
法利赛主义冷酷无情,吹毛求疵和不肯宽恕的精神,乃是导致最不幸后果的罪恶。宗教经验中如果没有爱,就没有耶稣的同在,也没有祂临格阳光的照耀。……人们对于他人的缺点敏感得可能令人惊讶,可是耶稣对放纵这种精神的人说:“你这假冒为善的人,先去掉自己眼中的梁木,然后才能看得清楚,去掉你弟兄眼中的刺。”(MB.125,126).{LHU335.5}
高举主耶稣-第322章
The sin that leads to the most unhappy results is the cold, critical, unforgiving spirit that characterizes Pharisaism. When the religious experience is devoid of love, Jesus is not there; the sunshine of His presence is not there.... There may be a wonderful keenness of perception to discover the defects of others; but to everyone who indulges this spirit, Jesus says, “Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye” (Thoughts From the Mount of Blessing, 125, 126). {LHU 335.5}
高举主耶稣-第322章
直到你觉得为了搭救犯错误的弟兄,你可以牺牲自己的尊严,甚至可以舍弃自己的性命时,你才算去掉了眼中的梁木,而准备好去帮助你的弟兄了。然后,你才能接近他,感动他的心。……和善的精神,温柔优雅的态度,能挽救犯错误的人,并遮盖许多的罪。在你自己品格中表现基督,必对你所接触的人发挥一种变化的能力。但愿基督天天在你的身上彰显。这样,祂就能藉着你而表现出祂圣言的创造之能,就是一种柔和、使人悦服,而又具有大能的感化力。这种感化力要按主我们上帝的荣美对人进行再造。(MB128,129).{LHU335.6}
高举主耶稣-第322章
Not until you feel that you could sacrifice your own self-dignity, and even lay down your life in order to save an erring brother, have you cast the beam out of your own eye so that you are prepared to help your brother. Then you can approach him and touch his heart.... A tender spirit, a gentle, winning deportment, may save the erring and hide a multitude of sins. The revelation of Christ in your own character will have a transforming power upon all with whom you come in contact. Let Christ be daily made manifest in you, and He will reveal through you the creative energy of His word—a gentle, persuasive, yet mighty influence to re-create other souls in the beauty of the Lord our God (Thoughts From the Mount of Blessing, 128, 129). {LHU 335.6}
