That We May Be Able to Comfort Others, April 19
开朗的宗教-第110章
“愿颂赞归与我们的主耶稣基督的父上帝,就是发慈悲的父,赐各样安慰的上帝。我们在一切患难中,祂就安慰我们,叫我们能用上帝所赐的安慰去安慰那遭各样患难的人”(林后1:3,4)。[1]

Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.2 Corinthians 1:3, 4.{RRe 111.1}[1]

古代的先知曾传给教会丰富的安慰信息。以赛亚从上帝所领受的使命是:“你们要安慰、安慰我的百姓”(赛40:1)。祂必赐下奇妙的异象,连同这个使命,作为世世代代信徒的希望与喜乐。上帝各世代的儿女虽然被人所藐视,逼迫和遗弃,但他们却因祂可靠的应许而时常得到鼓励。他们凭着信心展望到祂将来为教会实现以下应许的时候:“我却使你变为永远的荣华,成为累代的喜乐”(赛60:15)。(PK 722)[2]

Many were the messages of comfort given the church by the prophets of old. “Comfort ye, comfort ye My people,” was Isaiah’s commission from God; and with the commission were given wonderful visions that have been the believers’ hope and joy through all the centuries that have followed. Despised of men, persecuted, forsaken, God’s children in every age have nevertheless been sustained by His sure promises. By faith they have looked forward to the time when He will fulfill to His church the assurance, “I will make thee an eternal excellence, a joy of many generations.”—Prophets and Kings, 722.{RRe 111.2}[2]

我们不可因为在今生难免有失望及苦难,便自己哀恸忧伤。如果是出于上帝的美意,要我们经受磨炼,我们就当接受那十字架,饮那苦杯,并记得那拿杯到我们口边的乃是天父的手。我们在黑暗中也当信靠祂,象在白天信靠祂一样。我们岂可不相信祂必赏赐各样凡与我们有益之事物呢?“上帝既不爱惜自己的儿子为我们众人舍了,岂不也把万物和祂一同白白地赐给我们么”(罗8:32)?当我们记起髑髅地的十字架向我们所表现之爱时,纵使是在苦难的黑夜中,我们怎能不振起心意并扬起声来,发出感激的赞美呢?(5T 315)[3]
开朗的宗教-第110章
Then let us not mourn and grieve because in this life we are not free from disappointments and afflictions. If in the providence of God we are called upon to endure trials, let us accept the cross, and drink the bitter cup, remembering that it is a Father’s hand that holds it to our lips. Let us trust Him in the darkness as well as in the day. Can we not believe that He will give us everything that is for our good? “He that spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?” Even in the night of affliction, how can we refuse to lift heart and voice in grateful praise, when we remember the love to us expressed by the cross of Calvary?—Testimonies for the Church 5:316.{RRe 111.3}[3]

“Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break forth into singing, O mountains: for the Lord hath comforted His people, and will have mercy upon His afflicted.”Isaiah 49:13.{RRe 111.4}[4]
