He Understands Our Motives, March 15
高举主耶稣-第75章
“耶稣叫门徒来,说:‘我实在告诉你们,这穷寡妇投入库里的,比众人所投的更多’”(可12:43)。{LHU88.1}
高举主耶稣-第75章
And he called his disciples to him, and said to them, “Truly, I say to you, this poor widow has put in more than all those who are contributing to the treasury.Mark 12:43, RSV.{LHU 88.1}[1]
高举主耶稣-第75章
耶稣坐在设奉献箱的院子里,看着众人怎样投钱入库。有许多财主带着夸耀的态度往里投了大宗的钱币。耶稣忧愁地看着他们,对于他们大量的捐献并没有发表什么意见。一会儿,祂看见一个穷寡妇迟疑地前来,好像是怕人看见,耶稣的脸上便发出愉快的表情。当那些富足和傲慢的人上来投入他们的捐款时,她便退缩踟躇,不敢进前。然而她渴望为她所爱的圣工尽一点微薄的力量。{LHU88.2}
高举主耶稣-第75章
Jesus was in the court where were the treasure chests, and He watched those who came to deposit their gifts. Many of the rich brought large sums, which they presented with great ostentation. Jesus looked upon them sadly, but made no comment on their liberal offerings. Presently His countenance lighted as He saw a poor widow approach hesitatingly, as though fearful of being observed. As the rich and haughty swept by, to deposit their offerings, she shrank back as if hardly daring to venture farther. And yet she longed to do something, little though it might be, for the cause she loved.{LHU 88.2}[2]
高举主耶稣-第75章
她看着手中的礼物,与周围那些人的捐款比较起来真算不得什么,但她一切所有的就是这么多。于是她趁着机会,匆匆地投入两个小钱,急忙转身走开。但是这样作的时候,她看见耶稣正定睛望着她呢。{LHU88.3}
高举主耶稣-第75章
She looked at the gift in her hand. It was very small in comparison with the gifts of those around her, yet it was her all. Watching her opportunity, she hurriedly threw in her two mites, and turned to hasten away. But in doing this she caught the eye of Jesus, which was fastened earnestly upon her.{LHU 88.3}[3]
高举主耶稣-第75章
救主叫门徒到跟前来,请他们注意这寡妇的贫穷。于是祂称赞的话就落到寡妇的耳中:“我实在告诉你们,这穷寡妇投入库里的,比众人所投的更多。”当寡妇觉得自己的作为受人同情和赏识的时候,快乐的热泪不禁夺眶而出。许多人劝她把这一点点的钱留为己用,况且这一点钱放在肥头胖耳的祭司手中,又与许多投入银库的大宗捐款混合起来,根本无足轻重。但是耶稣明白她的动机。这妇人相信圣殿的崇拜是上帝所指定的,所以极愿尽她的力量来维持它。她已经尽到她所能的,所以这一件事要世世代代作为她的纪念,并在来生作她永远的喜乐。她的心和她的礼物一起献上了,其价值并不在乎钱的多少,而在乎激励她这种行为的爱上帝并关怀祂圣工的心。……{LHU88.4}
高举主耶稣-第75章
The Saviour called His disciples to Him, and bade them mark the widow’s poverty. Then His words of commendation fell upon her ear: “Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all.” Tears of joy filled her eyes as she felt that her act was understood and appreciated. Many would have advised her to keep her pittance for her own use; given into the hands of the well-fed priests, it would be lost sight of among the many costly gifts brought to the treasury. But Jesus understood her motive. She believed the service of the Temple to be of God’s appointment, and she was anxious to do her utmost to sustain it. She did what she could, and her act was to be a monument to her memory through all time, and her joy in eternity. Her heart went with her gift; its value was estimated, not by the worth of the coin, but by the love to God and the interest in His work that had prompted the deed....{LHU 88.4}[4]
高举主耶稣-第75章
我们的动机决定我们行为的本质,说明它是卑鄙的或是高尚的。上帝并不以那些众目所睹,众口所赞的大事为最有价值。人甘心乐意尽到的种种小义务,不令人注意的微小奉献,在人看来或许不算什么,但在上帝的眼中往往是最有价值的。一颗信实仁爱的心,比最贵重的捐献更为上帝所重视。……使她得到救主称赞的,乃是这一种无私的精神和赤诚的信心。{LHU88.5}
高举主耶稣-第75章
It is the motive that gives character to our acts, stamping them with ignominy or with high moral worth. Not the great things which every eye sees and every tongue praises does God account most precious. The little duties cheerfully done, the little gifts which make no show, and which to human eyes may appear worthless, often stand highest in His sight. A heart of faith and love is dearer to God than the most costly gift.... It was this unselfish spirit and childlike faith that won the Saviour’s commendation.{LHU 88.5}[5]
高举主耶稣-第75章
在穷人之中有许多因领受上帝的恩典和真理,而渴望向祂表示感激。……务要让他们把自己的小钱积蓄在天国的银库里。如果他们所奉献的是出于一颗充满爱上帝的心,那么,这区区之数就必成为神圣的奉献和无价的供物,是上帝所喜悦所重看的。(DA.614,615).{LHU88.6}
高举主耶稣-第75章
Among the poor there are many who long to show their gratitude to God for His grace and truth.... Let them lay up their mites in the bank of heaven. If given from a heart filled with love for God, these seeming trifles become consecrated gifts, priceless offerings, which God smiles upon and blesses (The Desire of Ages, 614, 615).{LHU 88.6}[6]
