你必得能力-第249章
“上帝差我在你们以先来,为要给你们存留余种在世上,又要大施拯救,保全你们的生命。这样看来,差我到这里来的不是你们,乃是上帝。祂又使我如法老的父,作他全家的主,并埃及全地的宰相”(创45:7,8)。[1]
你必得能力-第249章
And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance. So now it was not you that sent me hither, but God: and he hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and Lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.Genesis 45:7, 8.{YRP 256.1}[1]
你必得能力-第249章
上帝定意藉着约瑟,将圣经的宗教传给埃及人。这个忠心的见证人要在君王的宫廷中将基督彰显出来。约瑟在年轻时,上帝便借着异梦与他交通,告知他要蒙召承担一份崇高的职责。约瑟的弟兄们为阻止异梦的实现,便将他当作奴仆贱卖了。但他们残忍的作为,正是导致化异梦为事实的途径。{YRP 256.1}[2]
你必得能力-第249章
It was God’s design that through Joseph, Bible religion should be introduced among the Egyptians. This faithful witness was to represent Christ in the court of kings. Through dreams, God communicated with Joseph in his youth, giving him an intimation of the high position he would be called to fill. The brothers of Joseph, to prevent the fulfillment of his dreams, sold him as a slave, but their cruel act resulted in bringing about the very thing the dreams had foretold.{YRP 256.2}[2]
你必得能力-第249章
那些企图避开上帝的宗旨和反抗祂旨意的人,可能一时看似成功;但上帝定意要成全祂的宗旨,显明谁是天地的主宰。{YRP 256.2}[3]
你必得能力-第249章
Those who seek to turn aside the purpose of God, and oppose His will, may appear for a time to prosper; but God is at work to fulfill His own purposes, and He will make manifest who is the ruler of the heavens and the earth.{YRP 256.3}[3]
你必得能力-第249章
约瑟将自己的被卖视为临到他身上的最大灾难;但他看出有依靠上帝的必要,因为以往在父亲的爱护之下,他从未这么做过。约瑟将上帝带进埃及地,这可从他在忧伤中所表露的愉悦风度看出。正如上帝的约柜为以色列人带来平安与兴盛,这位挚爱和敬畏上帝的青年人也为埃及带来福气。其显著的证明是当他在埃及人波提乏家服务时,波提乏将自己所得的福分完全归功于这位买来的奴隶,将他视为儿子而不是奴隶。上帝的旨意是要那些敬爱和尊荣祂圣名的人,也要同样得着尊崇,因他们而归于上帝的荣耀,也将反映在他们身上。{YRP 256.3}[4]
你必得能力-第249章
Joseph regarded his being sold into Egypt as the greatest calamity that could have befallen him; but he saw the necessity of trusting in God as he had never done when protected by his father’s love. Joseph brought God with him into Egypt, and the fact was made apparent by his cheerful demeanor amid his sorrow. As the ark of God brought rest and prosperity to Israel, so did this God-loving, God-fearing youth bring a blessing to Egypt. This was manifested in so marked a manner that Potiphar, in whose house he served, attributed all his blessings to his purchased slave, and made him a son rather than a servant. It is God’s purpose that those who love and honor His name shall be honored also themselves, and that the glory given to God through them shall be reflected upon themselves.{YRP 256.4}[4]
你必得能力-第249章
约瑟的品格并不因他被赋予重任而改变。他被安置在适当的位置,以便他的美德,借着他的好行为,放射出清晰的光辉。不论在家或在工作的场所,上帝的福惠跟随着他。波提乏将所有的家务,完全交托给他。他在所有的事上都表现忠贞不移的原则,因为他喜爱和敬畏上帝。(YI.1897.3.11){YRP 256.4}[5]
你必得能力-第249章
Joseph’s character did not change when he was exalted to a position of trust. He was brought where his virtue would shine in distinct light in good works. The blessing of God rested upon him in the house and in the field. All the responsibilities of Potiphar’s house were placed upon him. And in all this he manifested steadfast integrity; for he loved and feared God.—The Youth’s Instructor, March 11, 1897.{YRP 256.5}[5]
