Divine Commission and Examples
I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.2 Timothy 4:7.{WGD 302.1}[1]
黎明的灵修-第300章
保罗从凯撒的审判厅回到囚室。他看明自己至多不过得到短暂的缓刑。他知道他的仇敌若不置他于死地,是决不罢休的。但他也知道真理已经得到一次胜利。他既能在那些听他的大群人面前,宣讲一位被钉而复活的救主,这事本身就是一次胜利。那一天已经发动了一种工作,这工作必要扩展加强,是尼禄和其他一切基督的仇敌不能拦阻或破坏的。……[2]
黎明的灵修-第300章
From the judgment-hall of Caesar, Paul returned to his cell, realizing that he had gained for himself only a brief respite. He knew that his enemies would not rest until they had compassed his death. But he knew also that for a time truth had triumphed. To have proclaimed a crucified and risen Saviour before the vast crowd who had listened to him, was in itself a victory. That day a work had begun which would grow and strengthen, and which Nero and all other enemies of Christ would seek in vain to hinder or destroy....{WGD 302.2}[2]
黎明的灵修-第300章
保罗在他长期的服务中,从来没有在效忠救主的事上犹豫畏缩。他无论在什么地方——无论在横眉怒目的法利赛人,或在罗马当局面前;无论在路司得怒气汹汹的暴徒,或在马其顿监狱中的罪犯面前;无论在破坏的船上向惊慌失措的水手讲话,或在尼禄阶下为自己的性命辩护——他从来没有以自己所维护的事业为耻。他基督徒生活的一个大目的,乃是侍奉他所曾一度轻蔑的主;没有什么反对或逼迫能使他偏离这目的。他的信心因努力而刚强、因牺牲而纯洁,支持了他,坚固了他。……上帝的真实传道工人决不规避困难或责任。他从那向来不使诚心寻求神能之人失望的“源头”领取力量,使他能以应付并得胜试探,也能履行上帝所放在他身上的本分。……他心中切望作蒙主悦纳的工作。(AA 498-501)[3]
黎明的灵修-第300章
Through his long term of service, Paul had never faltered in his allegiance to his Saviour. Wherever he was,—whether before scowling Pharisees, or Roman authorities; before the furious mob at Lystra, or the convicted sinners in the Macedonian dungeon; whether reasoning with the panic-stricken sailors on the shipwrecked vessel, or standing alone before Nero to plead for his life,—he had never been ashamed of the cause he was advocating. The one great purpose of his Christian life had been to serve Him whose name had once filled him with contempt; and from this purpose no opposition or persecution had been able to turn him aside. His faith, made strong by effort and pure by sacrifice, upheld and strengthened him.... The true minister of God will not shun hardship or responsibility. From the Source that never fails those who sincerely seek for divine power, he draws strength that enables him to meet and overcome temptation, and to perform the duties that God places upon him.... His soul goes out in longing desire to do acceptable service for the Master.—The Acts of the Apostles, 498-501.{WGD 302.3}[3]
