奇妙的神恩-第108章
那位把夏娃赐给亚当作为伴侣的主,在一个婚宴上施行了祂的第一个神迹。……祂就是这样对婚姻表示认可,承认婚姻是祂亲自所设立的制度。祂指定男女在神圣的婚姻中结合,组织家庭,使家里的人光荣地成为天上家庭的成员。{MH 356}{AG 115.2}[2]
奇妙的神恩-第108章
He who gave Eve to Adam as a helpmeet performed His first miracle at a marriage festival.... Thus He sanctioned marriage, recognizing it as an institution that He Himself had established. He ordained that men and women should be united in holy wedlock, to rear families whose members, crowned with honor, should be recognized as members of the family above.52{AG 115.2}[2]
奇妙的神恩-第108章
婚姻和上帝托付给人类保管的其他美好恩赐一样,已被罪恶所败坏。福音的宗旨就是恢复它的纯洁和美丽。……{AG 115.3}[3]
奇妙的神恩-第108章
Like every other one of God’s good gifts ..., marriage has been perverted by sin; but it is the purpose of the gospel to restore its purity and beauty....{AG 115.3}[3]
奇妙的神恩-第108章
惟有基督的恩典才能成就上帝设立婚姻制度的理想,使之成为造福和提高人类的的媒介。地上的家庭就这样在团结、平安和仁爱方面,成为天上家庭的代表。社会的状况不幸违背了上天对于这种神圣关系的理想。但即使对那些原希望获得情谊和快乐却遭遇痛苦和失望的人,基督的福音仍带来安慰。祂的圣灵所赐的忍耐与温柔,会使痛苦的命运变为甘甜。心中有基督居住,就必因祂爱的充满而感到知足,不会没完没了地渴望同情和关注。我们将心灵归顺上帝,祂的智慧就能成就人的智慧所法成就的工作。藉着祂恩典的启示,原来疏远的心就能合而为一。……{AG 115.4}[4]
奇妙的神恩-第108章
The grace of Christ, and this alone, can make this institution what God designed it should be—an agent for the blessing and uplifting of humanity. And thus the families of earth, in their unity and peace and love, may represent the family of heaven. The condition of society presents a sad comment upon Heaven’s ideal of this sacred relation. Yet even for those who have found bitterness and disappointment where they had hoped for companionship and joy, the gospel of Christ offers a solace. The patience and gentleness which His Spirit can impart, will sweeten the bitter lot. The heart in which Christ dwells will be so filled, so satisfied, with His love that it will not be consumed with longing to attract sympathy and attention to itself. And through the surrender of the soul to God, His wisdom can accomplish what human wisdom fails to do. Through the revelation of His grace, hearts that were once indifferent or estranged may be united....{AG 115.4}[4]
奇妙的神恩-第108章
人如果接受基督的帮助,就能实现上帝对于他们的理想。人的智慧所无法成就的事,祂的恩典必为那些将自己交托与祂仁慈看顾的人成就。祂的旨意能用天国的纽带把人的心结合起来。爱不只是甜言蜜语的交流。上天织机所用的经纬虽较比地上织机所用的更为纤细,却更加坚固。织出来的不是单薄的布帛,而是耐穿而经得起考验的织物。心与心会用永存之爱的金链连接起来。(RH.1908,12.10){AG 115.5}[5]
奇妙的神恩-第108章
Men and women can reach God’s ideal for them if they will take Christ as their helper. What human wisdom cannot do, His grace will accomplish for those who give themselves to Him in loving trust. His providence can unite hearts in bonds that are of heavenly origin. Love will not be a mere exchange of soft and flattering words. The loom of heaven weaves with warp and woof finer, yet more firm, than can be woven by the looms of earth. The result is not a tissue fabric, but a texture that will bear wear and test and trial. Heart will be bound to heart in the golden bonds of a love that is enduring.53{AG 115.5}[5]
