Samuel, September 9
你必得能力-第254章
“撒母耳长大了,耶和华与他同在,使祂所说的话,一句都不落空。从但到别是巴所有的以色列人,都知道耶和华立撒母耳为先知”(撒上3:19,20)。[1]
你必得能力-第254章
And Samuel grew, and the Lord was with him, and did let none of his words fall to the ground. And all Israel from Dan even to Beer-sheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of the Lord.1 Samuel 3:19, 20.{YRP 261.1}[1]
你必得能力-第254章
自从耶和华向哈拿的儿子显示自己以来,撒母耳被召作上帝的先知已为全国所公认。他忠心地传达了上帝对以利家的警告,虽然这本分在他是痛苦难堪的。撒母耳已经藉此证明他是耶和华忠心的使者:“耶和华与他同在,使他所说的话,一句都不落空。从但到别是巴所有的以色列人,都知道耶和华立撒母耳为先知”(撒上3:19,20)。{YRP 261.1}[2]
你必得能力-第254章
During the years since the Lord first manifested Himself to the son of Hannah, Samuel’s call to the prophetic office had come to be acknowledged by the whole nation. By faithfully delivering the divine warning to the house of Eli, painful and trying as the duty had been, Samuel had given proof of his fidelity as Jehovah’s messenger; “and the Lord was with him, and did let none of his words fall to the ground. And all Israel from Dan even to Beer-sheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of the Lord.”{YRP 261.2}[2]
你必得能力-第254章
以色列全国仍然处在冷淡和拜偶像的状况中,上帝的刑罚还在他们身上,他们依然受着非利士人的管辖。在这些年间,撒母耳巡行全地的各城各乡,企图挽回百姓的心归向他们列祖的上帝;他的努力获得了美好的果效。以色列人受了仇敌的压迫二十年之后,他们就“都倾向耶和华。”撒母耳劝告他们说:“你们若一心归顺耶和华,就要把外邦的神,和亚斯他录,从你们中间除掉,专心归向耶和华,单单地侍奉祂”(撒上7:3)。{YRP 261.2}[3]
你必得能力-第254章
The Israelites as a nation still continued in a state of irreligion and idolatry, and as a punishment they remained in subjection to the Philistines. During this time Samuel visited the cities and villages throughout the land, seeking to turn the hearts of the people to the God of their fathers; and his efforts were not without good results. After suffering the oppression of their enemies for twenty years, the Israelites “mourned after the Lord.” Samuel counseled them, “If ye do return unto the Lord with all your hearts, then put away the strange gods and Ashtaroth from among you, and prepare your hearts unto the Lord, and serve him only” (1 Samuel 7:3).{YRP 261.3}[3]
你必得能力-第254章
在这里,我们就可以看出撒母耳所教导实际的虔诚和内心的信仰,是与基督在地上时所教导的一样。若没有基督的恩典,则宗教的形式对于古代的以色列人是毫无价值的。今日的以色列人也是如此。{YRP 261.3}[4]
你必得能力-第254章
Here we see that practical piety, heart religion, was taught in the days of Samuel as taught by Christ when He was upon the earth. Without the grace of Christ the outward forms of religion were valueless to ancient Israel. They are the same to modern Israel.{YRP 261.4}[4]
你必得能力-第254章
今日我们也需要这种内心信仰的复兴,象古时以色列人所经历的一样。凡愿归向上帝的人,第一步必要的工作乃是悔改。任何人不能代替别人作这工作。我们必须亲自在上帝面前谦卑,并除掉我们的偶像。我们什么时候尽到了我们所有的力量,耶和华就必向我们显示祂的救恩。(PP 589,590){YRP 261.4}[5]
你必得能力-第254章
There is need today of such a revival of true heart religion as was experienced by ancient Israel. Repentance is the first step that must be taken by all who would return to God. No one can do this work for another. We must individually humble our souls before God and put away our idols. When we have done all that we can do, the Lord will manifest to us His salvation.—Patriarchs and Prophets, 589, 590.{YRP 261.5}[5]
