奇妙的神恩-第10章
Like Mustard Seed, January 9
奇妙的神恩-第10章
“天国好象一粒芥菜种,有人拿去种在田里。这原是百种里最小的;等到长起来,却比各样的菜都大,且成了树,天上的飞鸟来宿在它的枝上”(太13:31-32)。{AG 17.1}[1]
奇妙的神恩-第10章
The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, ... which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.Matthew 13:31, 32.{AG 17.1}[1]
奇妙的神恩-第10章
种子发芽生长,是由于上帝所赐之生命力的展现。它的成长不是依赖人的力量。基督的国也是这样。这是一个新建的国度。其发展的原则与统治世界各国的原则截然相反。属世的政权是靠武力来统治,靠战争来维持的。但这个新国度的创建者乃是和平之君。……基督栽培了一种原则。祂藉着培育诚实与公义,来抵制谬论与罪恶。{AG 17.2}[2]
奇妙的神恩-第10章
The germ in the seed grows by the unfolding of the life-principle which God has implanted. Its development depends upon no human power. So it is with the kingdom of Christ. It is a new creation. Its principles of development are the opposite to those that rule the kingdoms of this world. Earthly governments prevail by physical force; they maintain their dominion by war; but the founder of the new kingdom is the Prince of Peace.... Christ implants a principle. By implanting truth and righteousness, He counterworks error and sin....{AG 17.2}[2]
奇妙的神恩-第10章
基督的国在开始时也是这样毫不起眼的。与地上的各国相比,它似乎是最小的。基督自称为王,被世上的统治者所嘲笑。但是福音的国度赋有上帝的生命。这生命包含在基督交托给门徒的伟大真理中。这个国度发展神速,影响广泛。当基督说这个比喻的时候,只有几个加利利的农民作这个新国度的代表。……但这粒芥菜种却要生长,并伸展它的枝条遍及全世界。辉煌一时的地上国度都要覆灭。基督的国度却要永存。其影响深远而强大。{AG 17.3}[3]
奇妙的神恩-第10章
The kingdom of Christ in its beginning seemed humble and insignificant. Compared with earthly kingdoms it appeared to be the least of all. By the rulers of this world Christ’s claim to be a king was ridiculed. Yet in the mighty truths committed to His followers the kingdom of the gospel possessed a divine life. And how rapid was its growth, how widespread its influence! When Christ spoke this parable, there were only a few Galilean peasants to represent the new kingdom.... But the mustard seed was to grow and spread forth its branches throughout the world. When the earthly kingdoms whose glory then filled the hearts of men should perish, the kingdom of Christ would remain, a mighty and far-reaching power.{AG 17.3}[3]

恩典在人心中的工作起先也是微小的。人所说的一句话,照在心灵的一线光明,都会产生影响,成为新生命的开始,有谁能估计它的结果呢?……{AG 17.4}[4]
奇妙的神恩-第10章
So the work of grace in the heart is small in its beginning. A word is spoken, a ray of light is shed into the soul, an influence is exerted that is the beginning of the new life; and who can measure its results? ...{AG 17.4}[4]
奇妙的神恩-第10章
在这末后的世代,芥菜种的比喻将显著而胜利地应验。那颗小小的种子将要成为一棵大树。警告和恩典的最后信息要传给“各国各族各方,”祂要“从他们中间选取百姓归于自己的名下”。全地要“因祂的荣耀发光”(启14:6-14;徒15:14;启18:1)。{COL76-79}{AG 17.5}[5]
奇妙的神恩-第10章
In this last generation the parable of the mustard seed is to reach a signal and triumphant fulfillment. The little seed will become a tree. The last message of warning and mercy is to go to “every nation and kindred and tongue” (Revelation 14:6-14), “to take out of them a people for his name” (Acts 15:14;Revelation 18:1). And the earth shall be lightened with His glory.14{AG 17.5}[5]
