God Searches Out His Sheep, February 3
黎明的灵修-第34章
“牧人在羊群四散的日子,怎样寻找他的羊;我必照样寻找我的羊。这些羊在密云黑暗的日子散到各处,我必从那里救回他们来”(结34:12)。[1]

God Is Love
As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.Ezekiel 34:12.{WGD 36.1}[1]
黎明的灵修-第34章
人们可能拒绝祂慈爱的呼召,离开祂而流浪,选择另一个主人,但他们依然是属于上帝的。祂渴望找回属于祂自己的羊。……在比喻中,牧人出去寻找一只羊。这是最小的数目。照样,即使只有一个人失丧,基督也愿意为他舍命。离开羊圈而迷路的羊是最无助的,必须由牧人去寻找它,因为它自己找不到回家的路。一个远离上帝的人也是这样。他像迷路的羊一样无助。要是没有上帝的爱来拯救他,他永远也找不到回归上帝的道路。[2]
黎明的灵修-第34章
Men may deny the claim of His love, they may wander from Him, they may choose another master; yet they are God’s, and He longs to recover His own.... In the parable the shepherd goes out to search for one sheep,—the very least that can be numbered. So if there had been but one lost soul, Christ would have died for that one. The sheep that has strayed from the fold is the most helpless of all creatures. It must be sought for by the shepherd, for it can not find its way back. So with the soul that has wandered away from God; he is as helpless as the lost sheep, and unless divine love had come to his rescue, he could never find his way to God.{WGD 36.2}[2]
黎明的灵修-第34章
当牧人发现一只羊失落的时候,他并没有满不在乎地看着安卧在圈内的羊群说:“我这里还有九十九只,寻找那一只迷失的羊实在太麻烦了。还是让它自己回来吧。我打开羊圈的门让它进来就好了。”事实不是这样。羊一走失,牧人就非常伤心和焦虑,他数了又数。……他撇下圈内的九十九只,去寻找那只迷失的羊。……他的辛劳终于得了报赏;迷失的羊找到了。……这个比喻的结局不是失败,而是失而复得的成功和喜乐。这是上帝给我们的保证,说明在上帝的羊圈中,没有一只迷失的羊会被置之不理,撇弃不顾的。凡愿意获得救赎的人,基督都必救他们脱离败坏的沉坑和罪恶的荆棘。(COL 187、188)[3]
黎明的灵修-第34章
The shepherd who discovers that one of his sheep is missing, does not look carelessly upon the flock that is safely housed, and say, “I have ninety and nine, and it will cost me too much trouble to go in search of the straying one. Let him come back, and I will open the door of the sheepfold and let him in.” No; no sooner does the sheep go astray than the shepherd is filled with grief and anxiety. He counts and recounts the flock.... He leaves the ninety and nine within the fold, and goes in search of the straying sheep.... At last his effort is rewarded; the lost is found.... The parable does not speak of failure, but of success, and joy in the recovery. Here is the divine guarantee that not even one of the straying sheep of God’s fold is overlooked, not one is left unsuccored. Every one that will submit to be ransomed, Christ will rescue from the pit of corruption, and from the briers of sin.—Christ’s Object Lessons, 187, 188.{WGD 36.3}[3]
